Why Are We Here Again? by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters

Summary
The brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And in a super-powered society, those shadows are dark indeed. But whilst the world desperately trained more and more heroes, making that light brighter and brighter, the prestigious hero school, UA, had another idea. Why not tackle the problem at its source?
And so was born the infamous class 1-A. Would-be criminals from all over the country were selected, and a group of twenty now roam the halls of the school, alongside the heroes of the next generation.
Last year, the entirety of Mr Aizawa’s class A graduated. But this year was different. No, he didn’t believe they would all graduate back into society like the classes before them. He believed they could become something bigger. That was why, with gritted teeth and a manic smile, Eraser Head turned to his new class of students and said:
"You aren't villains - you never were, and you never will be. But you can take that fire inside of you and put it to good use. We're in a hero school, aren't we? Well then...
"Let's be heroes."

(How To) Forgive and Forget by legal_kidnapping

Summary
If Quirkless discrimination was a little bit worse, and if Izuku wasn't as forgiving...
Well.
(Featuring: All Might's Absolutely Horrible Teaching™, a slightly more self-aware Izuku, the League Of Villains, very little forgiveness, and a lot of traumatized kids.)

Summary
"I’m only two minutes late!” Izuku protested. Had he missed the start of an important test? None of the national, standardized tests were supposed to happen this month and even being two minutes late to one of those wouldn’t elicit this sort of reaction. They were discussing their career interest forms today, but that was it. Nothing time-critical was supposed to be happening.
“Midoriya, you were reported missing a week ago. No one has seen you for eight days. The police have been combing the city for you.”
"I’m sorry. What?”
Midoriya Izuku went missing for a week and turned up in a back alleyway with skills he's never even heard of and no memory of how he came by them. He resigns himself to never learning the truth of what happened to him, but he shouldn't waste this chance should he? He could become a hero with reflexes like these.

Summary
Fourteen-year-old him was an idiot. He should've never joined the League of Villains. He wanted to fix society, not end it. How the hell was he supposed to know that Shigaraki would release an army of Nomu across Japan and kickstart the Nomu apocalypse?!
But it happened, and now his friends are all dead (no thanks to him), and the only way to fix this mess is to turn back the hands of time to where this all began. Which means he has to go to UA and get into the Hero Course. The Quirkless, ex-villain, has to become a Hero to save the world.
. . . Yeah, this isn't gonna turn out well.

Summary
Aizawa Shouta is a survivor. He’s a smuggler, a killer, and a morally grey person, but so is everybody else. It’s what happens when most of the world is suddenly wiped out by a violent disease, while with it came martial law, rebel gangs, and a whole lot of lost hope. Twenty years after his life flipped upside down, Aizawa is tasked with bringing a nervous, freckled boy across the country.
Except the two of them aren’t the only ones trying to survive - Aizawa is unforgiving, Izuku is desperate, life is cruel, and the journey is brutal.
In other words: a zombie apocalypse AU featuring dadzawa, a certain problem child, their troubling pasts, and a lot of healing.

On chapter 25, I love this story. Finally, hitoshi and katsuki get togeather, and now it's the start of the fighting in the training arc. Izu is going along with kaminari. He's kinda like a student X body guard, is kinda op from being a lab rat.

On chapter 84, it's pretty chill so far. Izu has fixed very bad places, heros think he's an info broker but he's not. He just teaches kids. He's super smart too.

Summary
It didn't matter how many hits he took or how the scars kept growing. It didn't matter what happened to him because he didn't matter.
Izuku needed an excuse to justify existing and the only way he knew how was to destroy his pathetic excuse of a body for the sake of helping people. For being the hero no one believed he could be.
So he did.
or
Midoriya Izuku is a mess and becomes a vigilante but things start to change when he meets Aizawa.

The Forgotten Ghost by Roselenses

Summary
Izuku Midoriya was a quirkless orphan. His mother had been killed when he was eight—the same day he lost faith in heroes. By ten, he had lost faith in all adults. He had been shuffled between at least eleven different foster homes, each one eager to send him back the moment they realized he was quirkless. By twelve, Izuku understood the truth—no one was coming to save him.
So, he became Ghost.
Silent, unseen, and unnoticed, he moved through the city’s underbelly, doing what heroes wouldn’t. No quirk, no support—just sheer will. If the world refused to fight for someone like him, then he’d fight for himself and for those who had no one else.
But then they came.
Yamada Hizashi and Aizawa Shouta. Two pro heroes who didn’t look at him with disappointment or pity. They didn’t see a problem to be ignored or a burden to be passed along. They saw him—just Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless orphan who had been failed time and time again.
But Izuku had been surviving on his own for so long. He had built walls no one had ever tried to break through before. They didn’t know who he really was, what he had done, what he had become.
And he wasn’t sure if there was anything left of him to save.

Helios is a freakishly strong vigilante who just reappeared after going radio silent for more than a decade. Anonymous is a twitter account belonging to someone who's very dedicated to justice and taking down corrupt organizations. Rabbit is a vandal and a prankster who seems to hold a grudge against number 2 hero Endeavor.
And then there's Midoriya, the owner of the Evergreen, a local cat cafe a few blocks away from UA high school. With a perky demeanor and a disturbing amount of scars and secrets, it has pro hero Eraserhead wondering, what is up with this problem child?
Or:
Izuku has a lot of personas that he uses to cause choas (Aizawa is so done with his shit lmao)

Summary
“How terrible,” a passerby tuts, “hopefully he gets help.”
“Gross. At least have the decency to hang out in front of an alley and not in front of a business, brat,” another spat at him.
“A hero will come by to help you, I know it. Just stay strong, kid,” someone tried to assure him.
With each comment, Izuku drew further within himself. With each comment, Izuku’s hope of being saved was stamped out that much more. With each comment, Izuku wished he had been reduced to ashes like his parents.
He ended up sitting on the sidewalk for hours, hearing the same hollow reassurances and occasional insults, waiting for someone to save him. A shadow fell over him, Izuku curled even further inwards, unwilling to look at the latest good-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful person. The seconds ticked by but still no words were said, curious as to what this person was doing, he looked up. Instead of a cruel sneer, all he saw was an outstretched hand and a warm smile.
“Come with me, child. Let me save you.”

Kidnapped by All for One, Izuku Midoriya tries not to lose himself in the pitch black life he now has to live in. Will he adjust to the dark, or remain lost forever ? Somehow he'll find friends in enemies, and family in friends, and if he finds nothing in his Sensei, maybe It's his clue to leave from his grasp, and to slowly return to the light, as difficult as it may seem.

Dabi joins forces with the quirkless villain Deku to take down Endeavor. If what was supposed to be a simple stuff-Endeavor-in-a-fridge-and-run turns into a Shouto rescue mission involving the Todoroki siblings, pissed-off U.A. teachers and students, and the League of Villains, well, that's nobody's business.

-Dadzawa: Dadzawa.
-Class 1A: dear God.

Summary
After the sludge villain incident, Izuku’s world crumbles. Beaten and exploded half to death by the person who was supposed to be his friend, he’s left bleeding in an alley- only to be picked up by the Hero Killer and dragged into the League of Villains, bound by a debt he never agreed to.
It should’ve been the worst thing that ever happened to him.
And maybe it was.
But somewhere between becoming Stain’s personal informant and the League’s analyst, Izuku starts to realize- this is the first time he’s ever had the power to change anything at all.

Summary
Izuku's life has changed drastically in the past year; he went from a homeless orphan, to a Hero Course student with the help of the two Pro Heroes that he calls his parents, picked up some friends along the way, improved his mental health and on top of that, he keeps getting away with his vigilantism.
Only, if he could just get a single moment of peace, that would be great, because disaster seems to follow him around wherever he goes. Maybe his vigilantism is to blame for that, or perhaps his secret Immortality Quirk, or maybe even the fact that he knows too much for his own good, thanks to his analysis skills...Hopefully, going to UA won't be too chaotic. Although, keeping up the act of being Quirkless to protect himself from villains and having the literal Symbol of Peace as his new teacher will probably make staying out of trouble a lot harder.

Summary
He was about to decline, when a thought popped into his head. What if, in his efforts to bring down hero society, he had one of the most powerful quirks ever recorded? Quirks were tools, after all. It would be a great addition to his arsenal against the system.
And the irony. Using the Number One Hero’s quirk against the heroes? Oh, that was perfect!
He hid the feral grin that tried to form on his lips, and instead forced his face to make the most determined expression possible.
“I’ll do it!”~~~
Midoriya Izuku was a hero fanboy, all the way. He still had his doubts over how perfect heroes were, but that didn't stop him from dreaming! Even if he was quirkless, and everyone said he couldn't, he still hoped he could become a hero.
All that changed the day his best friend told him to jump off a roof, his Hero crushed his dreams, and all his faith in hero society shattered.
He now had a new dream. If society said he couldn't be a hero, he would be the one to destroy it, instead.
And what better way to bring down a system, than from within?Updates every other week!!
