    Summary

    The glitching, the sounds, everything comes to a stand-still. Half rendered walls and floors, wire framed blocks, everything freezes in its current form, before snapping back to their original forms as if it never happened.

    The silence is broken from the sound of Caine's frozen body hitting the floor with a massive thud, echoing across the circus like a glass shatter.

    Summary

    Jax is fine.

    Completely and totally fine.

    He's fine when his best friend suddenly becomes aggressive and turns on him. He's fine when he starts pushing everyone else away. He's fine after fighting with Pomni when she claims they're friends. And he's sure as hell fine when he locks himself and his room, slowly beginning to abstract.

    Jax's world is coming down around him and he struggles to admit that he's lost control, that maybe he's never been in control.

    When he started to abstract he didn't expect to wake up. He didn't expect the rest of the circus to suddenly be rallying with him after everything he said and did.

    And he definitely didn't expect that he might finally have to admit, to himself and everyone else, that he's not okay.

    (OR: After episode 6 Jax starts to abstract. The gang finds a way to stop it but there are… consequences. Jax is forced to think about his past and becomes angry at the idea that he once again could be hopeless. But is he really?)

    Summary

    He wasn't there.

    Scratch that. He wasn't anywhere in the bloody school.

    After the nurse said he hadn't come into her office, he'd run up to the roof, but he wasn't there either. At least he wasn't stupid enough to take his advice then. After Katsuki had checked his locker, the bench where he ate lunch, and the library though, he started feeling uneasy again. Maybe he had just gone home? Or was at the park in their neighborhood? It wasn't like Deku to ditch school, no matter how badly he was bullied. He hadn't in years, at least.

    Katsuki's legs were carrying him back again to the shitty apartment he'd been avoiding for years, a sense of dread settling in the back of his throat. If that stupid bastard thought he could run away again, he'd have to put the thank you on hold temporarily until he finished killing him. He took a short detour to check the park between Katsuki's house and Deku's building, but no luck there either. He kept running.

     

    Or alternatively, after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Izuku and Katsuki try to protect each other the only ways they know how. As Izuku walks a dangerous tightrope, Katsuki simply tries to hold onto him as the thought of losing Deku again takes its toll.

    Summary

    “It’s already a fucking miracle you’re not in juvie while being charged with murder—” Izuku flinches “—you can’t afford to slip up.” Mr. Aizawa’s tone is harsh as they slow, his dark eyes resting heavily on him. “Do you understand?”

    Izuku nods, whispering a small, “Sorry.”

    Mr. Aizawa glares at him, tugging him along, like he doesn’t believe him. “Stop being sorry and just follow the rules.”

    Izuku isn’t going to juvie. They said he’s different – doesn’t matter that he’s killed someone, the police is worried about a quirkless child being around other ‘troubled’ kids.

    Now this Mr. Aizawa is stuck with him until his trial, and Izuku’s completely, a hundred percent certain that the man absolutely hates him.

    Unbeknownst to them, someone is watching from the shadows...

    Summary

    “You’re still a kid and under my care, so no, you are not leaving this house at 3am in the morning,” Aizawa demands.

    “Isn’t that what you want? I know what you and everyone else does, I know you all want me gone, I know it!” Izuku screams back to him.

    “Who said that?” Aizawa questions, “Who? Tell me.”

    OR

    When Izuku’s mother passes away, Aizawa takes him. Then Aizawa notices things wrong, why does Izuku seem to dislike his English teacher, a pro hero with a quirk for telepathy. Will Aizawa ever know what is the truth behind his Problem Child, will Izuku ever let Aizawa inside the walls he built so carefully.

    Summary

    A hot spike of fury cut through the coldness. They’d taken his clothes. His grenade bracers, his boots. They’d stripped him and clothed him in an ugly, grimy blue jumpsuit. The violation was humiliating, intimate, a deliberate stripping of identity.

    Whoever had captured them knew exactly what they were doing to capture them and contain them, and had the funds to do it.

    Dangerous. We’ve gotta get out.

    “Deku,” he rasped, and immediately coughed to clear his throat. His voice was sandpaper on rust, but in the silence, it was a cannon shot.

    The effect was instantaneous and horrific.
    -
    On patrol during 2nd year at UA, DynaDeku are captured by a group of villains who seem to know everything about them, including the best way to subdue them. After months of torture in the name of what appears to be science… how can they return to their dream of becoming heroes? After becoming so severely trauma-bonded, what does this mean for their relationship?

    OR: BakuDeku are kidnapped after the war, get tortured and trauma bonded, and have to learn to cope with it and carve out a new meaning in life (and also maybe get together).

    Summary

    Kids of Izuku’s age wake up slowly. That’s what he’s heard. They wake to soft light through curtains, to a parent leaning over them with a gentle smile. A kiss pressed to their forehead. A warm hand cupping their cheek. A quiet voice telling them it’s time to get up, that breakfast is ready, that they’ll be late for school if they don’t hurry. They stretch. They complain. They roll over and steal five more minutes under the blankets. Somewhere in the house, plates clink and something warm sizzles in a pan.

    That’s what normal mornings are supposed to be. Izuku doesn’t remember the last time he slept without fear.

    Or

    Ever since he was very young, Izuku has been used by the Hero Commission for his healing quirk. Instead of going to school or growing up with a family, he’s forced to spend his days healing heroes in critical condition and enduring experiments. That’s all his life has ever been, until Aizawa finds him locked away in the cell Izuku has long since learned to call his room.

    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."

    Summary

    After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

    This fic has a discord.

    Summary

    Izuku hasn't felt like a child since he was four. since he sat in that doctor's office and got told he was worthless.

    His life fell apart after that day as his dad left, and his father promised him everything he ever wanted. a father that gave him a quirk. too many quirks.

    He didn't see his mom after that day. Well, that's a lie. He didn't see her alive after that day.

    Izuku broke everything and everyone around him as he rebelled and ran from every problem in his measly little life. He couldn't keep on living in shadows. He needed to help people. The rush of adrenaline after was better than anything he had ever felt.

    So Izuku Midoriya, equipped with a stolen mask and stolen weapon and three stolen quirks, promised to help anyone he could in his stolen, dying and partially blinded body. not as his stolen name, but as the fox.

    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    Summary

    Tap.

    The sound cracked the silence in two.

    Izuku jolted so hard the pen dropped from his hand. His heart punched against his ribs, each beat too fast, too sharp.

    Slowly, step by step, he moved to the window. His hands shook as he undid the latch and pulled it open. Cold night air spilled in.

    Empty.

    He swallowed. Forced a laugh. See? Nothing. Just you, being jumpy. Just shadows. You’re stronger than this.

    Then—

    “Midoriya..”

    The voice.

    His blood ran cold. His lungs locked.

    It wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real.
    ______________________

    The war may be over, but Izuku Midoriya can’t escape the ghosts it left behind. Nightmares, doubt, and a new villain who twists fear into reality threaten to break him all over again.

    But Bakugo refuses to let that happen.
    He’ll fight beside Izuku—against the villain, against the trauma, against the darkness itself.

    Because Deku isn’t falling alone. Not this time.

    Summary

    “Hey, Izuku, wake the fuck up.” He pinches once more, and this time Izuku’s eyes open and stay open a little longer. He can see Izuku’s mouth move around a little, as if he’s trying to figure out how to form words before another groan escapes and he clamps his eyes shut.

    “Kacchan,” Izuku whispers. 

    Katsuki sniffs and licks his lips. “Yeah I’m here. You gotta talk to me, Deku. I gotta know what’s going on.”

    He really needs to know what kind of shape Izuku is in. “He’s awake sensei,” he calls over to the phone, knowing that Aizawa has been paying attention this whole time. “I’m checking him over.”

    Izuku starts to move then, just a short move of his torso up before it’s abruptly cancelled and a loud keen escapes his mouth. Katsuki is left kneeling there, one hand stretched out, eyes wide, as Izuku writhes in pain.

    “What the fuck, Izuku what the fuck,” he mutters, putting a hand on Izuku’s shoulder to still his body. “Talk to me. Talk to me.”

    Summary

    —“I’m sorry, can you repeat that?” Izuku sat in the doctor's office, arm wrapped up and tucked away in a sling.

    “We found an abnormal growth of cells in your frontal lobe.” —

    After the war ends Izuku Midoriya really just expects everything to continue how it was before. Yes, he knows they need to rebuild and yes he knows it won’t be as easy as he wants it to be.

    But nothing, nothing could’ve prepared him for this.

    who would’ve thought the reward for winning a war wasn’t early retirement and having so much money you don’t know what to do with it but a nightmare of a disease that’s apparently incurable even in a super-powered quirked world.

    This definitely wasn’t on Izuku’s 20xx bingo card.
