When the “peaceful trip” turns into a horror trailer real quick 🌙🔪 Some plans sound innocent… until night falls.

January 2022

Listen, at least I made it within the month of January!

Cheat Code: Support Strategist by Clouds [Completed]

After All Might gives Izuku a much needed reality check, he has to find a new dream. When he learns that the support course at UA offers an emphasis in Intelligence and Analytics, it sounds like the perfect new passion for him to throw himself into. Who knew? Maybe Hero Analysis for the Future was never meant for his future as a hero, but for his future helping heroes...

Midoriya joins the support course as an analyst, becomes best friends with Hatsume and Shinsou, and becomes a badass all in one fic. Support Course Izuku is personally one of my favourite tropes so I am shamelessly advertising that here.

Rise Up by OrionSound [Ongoing]

Okay, in hindsight, Izuku really should have thought this through.  He could’ve at least checked the weather before he decided to run off.  But no, his first thoughts were, grab the notebooks, set of cloths, and run.

Alternatively: Izuku runs away, Keigo gains a little brother in the process.

Hawks pseudo-adopts and then for-reals-adopts Izuku! This fic really does have a little bit of everything.

Just Trying to Survive (and learn to love along the way) by floorplay [Completed]

Aizawa Shouta gives out his number to his class for emergencies, in the hope that they never call. He wants some peace and quiet with his husband, thank you very much. However, a late night call for help from his number 1 Problem Child gives him a startling discovery about his home life and drags everyone onto the path to healing. Follow Midoriya Izuku as he deals with the frequent dangers of Class 1-A while discovering the true meaning of family along the way.

Ok so in this one, hear me out, Aizawa ends up adopting Izuku instead of Hawks! Who would’ve thought that I would recommend a dadzawa fic. I’ve never recced one of these before I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Law-Abiding Citizen by House_of_Thorne [Completed]

Bakugou Katsuki has very little chill, this is a known fact. He does however, do his best not to get into legal trouble. Bakugou Katsuki couldn't get along with Midoriya Izuku if you put a gun to his head, this is an even more well known fact. Apparently someone decided to chew up those facts and spit them back out because that was definitely not the case in this very moment and christ almighty someone's going to have to pinch the entirety of Class 1-A, because this had to be a fever dream.

Or alternatively: Deku's dad is back in town and nobody is happy about, especially not Bakugou.

Bakugou is still and asshole but at least he’s not one that condones child abuse? I, for one, am partial to Bakugou redemption fic but for those of you who really hate bakubabe this probs ain’t for you!

Analysis lessons, and consequences thereof by ElaneTheTired [Ongoing]

Izuku Midoriya's close friends have known almost since the beginning that there is more than determination, kindness, and a powerful quirk that make him a great hero. Now, when an innocent school assignment reveals more about him to the teachers than he is comfortable with, it's time for the rest of the world to know as well.

Nedzu and Midoriya will take over the world and I am ok with that! And you should be too!

November 2021

I’m back to doing these again! Let’s see how long I can keep it up for this time

Reckoning Series by Cacid [Ongoing]

The cold seeped through his uniform as Izuku crawled to his feet, ice pooling in his bones-where were his shoes? “Hello?” Silence, save the rhythmic tap of the rain. “Come on! This isn’t funny!” Was this even a prank? It wasn’t very funny-though a lot of pranks weren’t when the joke was on you.

There's a new vigilante in town. The news dubs him Specter. Eraserhead wants to know who this "ghost" is... and why the kid keeps following him (and his new class) all over the city. Nedzu wants a new student. Bakugou Katsuki wants redemption. Midoriya Izuku wants one more chance to change his mind.

SUICIDE WARNING! I would not say this is the most happy series, there is definitely some angst, which if you’re here for that then this is for you! But if not then you might want to steer clear. Unexpectedly, this made me really like Best Jeanist as a character!

The Ghost of a Lonely Boy by AoKoiClem [Completed]

Izuku the ghost goes home with Aizawa and Yamada.

“Of course, Eraserhead, Sir!”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Okay, Sir!”

“Ughh….”

…….

“Shouta? Babe? Who turned the lights off?” Hizashi asked when he’d finally returned from their apartment.

Shouta met his husband’s eyes in the darkness. “A ghost.”

Hizashi blinked, glanced around the room, and even though he saw nothing, he exclaimed. “Hi, ghost!”

Problem Child responded, equally as enthused, “Hi, Eraserhead’s husband!”))

Includes: Dadzawa, Yamadad, Hagakure being an absolute precious bean, and even more dadzawa

He ded :( But he also a ghost :) Izuku comfortably inserts himself into his role as number one Dadzawa problem child all while being a ghost. The Audacity! Warning for suicide, unfortunately

His Support Academia by 2d_fantasyy [Ongoing]

Izuku had always wanted to be a hero. And he had the support to do so until his father died in a lab accident. After that, Izuku is left to fend for himself and continue to strive for his dream. When that dream gets brutally crushed by his hero, Izuku is left spiralling wondering what he can do with his life.

What if Midoriya joined the support course instead of heroics? And becomes best friends with Hatsume Mei along the way? Find out in this (one of many to come probably) ever-so-slightly-to-the-left AUs!

Pompeii by mimi_kc_i [Completed]

And if you close your eyes does it always feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Izuku's world crashes when All Might tells him he can't be a hero. He throws away his analysis notebooks, but a certain underground hero finds them. Aizawa Shouta just wanted to sleep, but now he's on a wild goose chase to find the author of the books that could take down all of hero society in the wrong hands.

or

Aizawa goes to great lengths to find Izuku, but Izuku goes to great lengths to leave his analysis behind, becomes a vigilante in the process, and represses his emotions. All the while, Tsukauchi just needs more coffee.

Vigilante Izuku? Check! Dadzawa? Check! Dadmic? Check! A classic Midoriya befcomes a vigilante fic with a few twists and turns along the way!

the bridges you burn Series by okayantigone [Ongoing]

izuku knows he can't be a hero. even all might said so. and therefore -

“is there… a job i can do, where i don’t have to disclose my quirkless status?” he asks.

“well,” the guidance counsellor says, “i mean, government employees don’t normally disclose their quirk status. it could pose a security risk. so if you wanted to go into civil service…”

and so, izuku starts an internship at the hero public safety commission.

writer: IT’S MEANT TO BE IN LOWERCASE me: ok then This has some prime angsty analyst Midoriya content! If you like smart but depressed Izuku then this is right up your alleyway. I have read every single installment in the series so far and have enjoyed all of them!

Gold Star for the people who can figure out which AO3 canonicals I filtered by with these fics. They’re a depressing bunch but I believe they’re worth reading!

Chalk and Stale Coffee by Synnie [Completed]

Raising a little girl wasn't easy, but pro hero Katsuki Bakugo felt he owed it to her after an accident in the field left her parents dead and him shouldering the blame.

But now she was starting school and her teacher was a lot cuter than Katsuki had been expecting.

Cute, wholesome, single parent Bakugou and his adorable child. That’s it, that’s all you need to know. Oh! And also some minor misunderstandings happen along the way.

Neutral Deception Series by AngeliaDark [Ongoing]

When Shigaraki has him hostage at the mall, Izuku pulls out all the stops to make sure nothing goes pear-shaped. Neither of them signed up for this.

If you do not like Shigaraki/Midoriya fanfic, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! If you do enjoy reading that, then may I present you an interesting and wholly different take on what could have happened during the mall encounter. Please enjoy your suffering!

Dreamer by AlyaKtheDorkLord [Ongoing]

Izumi’s dreams don’t belong to her. They belong to the lights, the people who are in pain. She helps them, every night, trying to forget the color of her mother’s blood and the light of her fathers flame. She helps, even though she herself is shattered.

Female Midoriya gets adopted by Erasermic and becomes a fucking badass, all while dealing with trauma, mental illness, and extreme pining for her two best friends! Enjoy!

Subject: A Comprehensive Report by BonesOfBirdWings [Ongoing]

Izuku decides early on that heroics is not the only path to heroism.

A quirkless Midoriya becomes an informant and analyzer for Sir Nighteyes agency. This is full of angst but also quality natural genius Izuku moments.

Yesterday Upon The Stair by PitViperOfDoom [Completed]

Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

rain beads along her skin,

a quiet heat blooming beneath the grey.

even the cold alley light softens for her—
