After the sludge incident, Izuku Midoriya's dream was officially crushed. However, a later experience takes the boy in a new direction. Izuku had never really contemplated being a detective, but his whole life he'd only ever wanted to help people with a smile on his face. Thanks to some luck and an entire police station, Izuku's dream is reborn.

Izuku had his whole future laid out before him, from a life taking empty hallways, earning average grades, and keeping his head down in class, to his death saving Kacchan from a slime villain. When the moment of his death came and went, leaving Izuku with a new future at U.A., his desire to save others will push him onto a perilous path that even his Quirk couldn't foresee.

Uraraka has spent almost a year grieving the loss of Deku, the greatest hero and her love, but life is slowly moving on. She's got her job, her family, and even a strange friendship with Bakugou. Things are looking hopeful. Until Deku comes back and he's not what he seems. Something is wrong with his mind, but Uraraka will be damned if she lets him fall again. (Villain!Deku)

Apotheosis, the highest point in the development of something or if you prefer, the elevation of someone to divine status. "Fun isn't something one considers when trying to create a better world", Izuku smirked as he held up his gauntlet covered fist. "But this does put a smile on my face". Villain Izuku, eventually OP as hell. Infinity Gauntlet AU.

Bakugo Katsuki pushes things too far and it has terrible consequences for Midoriya Izuku. Sometimes, when someone dies, they don't stay dead. Join Izuku as he tries to figure out what his life has turned into when push comes to shove. Izuku finishes high school and sets his sights on joining the prestigious U.A. University.

Izuku Midoriya was born Quirkless, yet despite that had a dream to be a hero. However the world decided it was impossible, that he was useless, a Deku. But one man believed in Izuku and helped the boy achieve his dream. That was all it took for Izuku to be someone else, to be something else, to be a hero. Archer/Izuku, Quirkless/Izuku. Rated M for Language, violence, and lemon.

"I actually did make it into UA. Passed the Entrance Exam and everything. Qualified for Class A even. I was expelled the first day because I didn't have a quirk that would help me throw a baseball."

Spider-Man AU. The Quirkless Izuku is bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him powers at a pro hero's level. Even though he makes mistakes, he still wishes to fulfill his promises and become a hero. Reaching that level will require him to surpass his idol, villains who love and hate him, his bad luck, and society's prejudices. Izuku x Momo x Shino. Image by Gotetho

An AU story. My spin on the idea of Deku never getting OFA. What if Deku goes to a completely different continent and gains a new mentor and best friend? What if Deku actually does have a quirk but it only activates under specific conditions? What if a completely changed Deku comes back from overseas and meets class 1-A? This story answers all that and more. -Rated M for stuff

This is the story of Izuku Midoriya. If he decided to listen to the advice of one of his friends. This is what happens if Deku decided to take the path of villainy after being told he could never be a hero. This story will stick to the tone of MHA. It will not be super dark and will follow the path of the manga as closely as the divergence allows.

Midoriya Izuku and Shigaraki Tomura are, at first glance, two completely unrelated children. Unbeknownst to them though, they are connected by blood, both possessing a relation to the deceased Shimura Nana. As a result, they each possess a quirk that allow them to destroy anything with a touch, known simply as Decay. (Full summary and additional information inside first chapter).

Pro Hero Ochaco "Uravity" Uraraka's routine life gets disrupted when a raid she is involved in gets interrupted by a fairly unknown villain. As she pursues a new gang dealing in human trafficking, Ochaco gets entangled in a web of corruption, conflicting ideals, and something more frightening than any villain: falling for the uneasy ally she's made.

A.U. Villain/Evil Deku. All it took was one bad day for Midoriya to spiral out of control. Upon reaching his lowest point, looked down upon, beaten, battered and abused by a society that treats Quirkless people as second-class citizens, Izuku decides to rid the world of Quirks so that everything can go back to how it used to be before heroes and villains ever existed.

Two years after he vanished from U.A.'s General Studies program alongside three other students, a quirkless Midoriya Izuku is the leader of the fastest-growing group of villains in Japan, and no one is left to stand in his way- no one aside from All Might's successor, the next Symbol of Peace. All orderly systems descend into chaos. No one is immune to entropy, heroes least of all.

Villain!Midoriya. The slime villain didn't attack. Bakugou never needed rescuing. No wondrous event proved he deserved All Might's Quirk. He was still desperate to know whether a Quirkless boy could become a hero. If only there were some way to get All Might's attention...

Izuku's on the ledge. Up here, such an important decision seems so simple. Just one step, and it'll all be over. Kacchan won't have to worry about him anymore and neither will his mother, really. She won't have to worry about him coming home with bruises and broken bones if he doesn't come home at all.

Midoriya Izuku didn't have much help after becoming the "Quirkless Nobody" at age four. However, what if a mother's last ditch attempt to aid her child supplied him with not only the will of a hero, but the skill and power of a boxer? Join Izuku as he climbs up the ranks not only as a hero, but among the boxing world as a legend. Thanks to Theartofgaf for the cover art!

What if Izuku had taken what everyone said to heart? What if All Might didn't give away his quirk the way he did? What if All for One took him under his wing? I DO NOT OWN MY HERO ACADEMIA IN ANY WAY. I am putting the warnings here because I will forget for each chapter. Warnings! Suicide, Anxiety, Death, Angst, Just all the bad stuff.

Izuku's idol had warned him to "be realistic" about his dreams, and he listened. Then one day, well into adulthood, he didn't need to be anymore.

Izuku was born quirkless, but dreams of joining the prestigious U.A High School to become the world's #1 Hero. One fateful day, he finally finds a way in- The Support Class! With the help of his new friend Mei Hatsume, Izuku will try to rise up against all odds and become the greatest Hero! (Now past the Stain arc!) (Lots of OC's due to unexplored Support Class lore.)

Izuku believed him, after all, he was the only one who believed in him. That was, until he met her. Now, he's not quite sure what to think. Villain Deku AU, Izuocha. Rated T for eventual drug misuse, sexual references, and some other circumstances.

Bullied, Belittled, Berated. No one believed Izuku could become a hero, not even his idol, All Might. Hopeless, Izuku takes a desperate leap. But when opportunity arises in the most unlikely of places, he holds on desperately. They all told him he could never become a hero, but no one said anything about becoming a villain.

A change in Izuku Midoriya's life was needed. Too long had he been kept underneath the thumb of his tormentor, and a new friend on the lowest day of his life was his key to freedom. Izuku's life turned into a dream. Yet when his new best friend and confidante turns to the side of evil, to which side will Izuku turn? The world would mourn as Bunny took a rise in this filthy society.
