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.”

Summary
“A hero always wins, and the villain will always lose”
That is the norm, heroes save the day while the villains are locked away and left to rot. But what if it was the other way around? What if the heroes lost and the villains won? What if after all their effort, they came out of this fight losing, allowing the villains to win?
Well, for Midoriya, Todoroki, and Bakugo this is the case. The norm established by the superpowered society is broken, the villains are victorious, and the three teenagers are taken away and sold. The heroes aren’t able to stop it, the ones they were trying to save are now gone, forever in the clutches of their new owners.
Note: This is an alternate ending to the fic “Taken”, this story will follow the unfortunate outcome where the heroes lose and the Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki are actually sold and taken. I highly recommend you read the original story before reading this one, however, a synopsis will be posted in the first chapter.

Summary
“Eri…” Izuku sighs. “A good villain keeps their secret moves to themselves until the right time.”
“Oh, sorry!” She goes red in embarrassment, twiddling her fingers. There’s a pause. “…Does that mean I can’t stab her?…”
OR
Izuku and others help teach Eri the proper ways of being a villain. Will that stop her from being adorable about it? Absolutely not.

Summary
After watching the world burn under his hand, Izuku was about ready to give up. He could finally see what he broke, and he was tired of fighting for something that refused to become reality. Unfortunately, his last remaining friends wouldn't let him give up on the world. He had to fix what he destroyed.
Fuyumi watched the destruction on TV and knew she couldn't let this carry on. If Izuku had taught her anything, it was that life wouldn't sort itself out without a little push. If she had to be the one to deliver that push, fine. Clearly the heroes were too disorganized to help.This is part of a series! Please read the first part first, because none of this will make sense otherwise. :)

Summary
"We here at Kenoretof high school believe every one of you is worth the effort. We are here to support our students through thick and thin. We can, and will, fight for every one of you. Having said that, Welcome to Kenoretof high school." Izuku stood before yet another crowd of students, Kurogiri behind him. It was a censored speech because one of his crowd was not trustworthy.
Kenoretof High School was known for taking in any strays that no other school wanted. Delinquents, quirkless, villainous quirks. However, that was just what Izuku Midoriya wanted everyone to think.
Kenoretof High School was a school of villains, teaching every kid how to defend themself and be a successful villain. And Izuku was the principal.
Follow Izuku and his merry band of insane villains as they teach children how to do various things, such as how to perform theatre. Join Aizawa Shota as he realizes that this school is not as bad as it seems, and the big bad villain overlord might just be an overworked dad. -

Summary
The heroes had failed.
Bakugo Katsuki was taken from right in front of them and even All Might was unable to save him. Izuku has been revealed to the world as a villain, but at least he still has Kacchan by his side. The world has rejected Izuku over and over, but maybe now he can do something about it. What would it take to build a better world?
————
Katsuki’s words broke through the silence. “I’m done underestimating you, Deku. I think you can do whatever you set your mind to. When we were little, you said we would be unstoppable together. I’m here now, so what’s holding you back?”

Summary
“You can be a hero!” Izuku felt tears in his eyes as he heard those words. All his life he had longed for someone, anyone to believe in him and his dream. If only All Might had been talking to Izuku and not his twin brother.
------
The fall from wanting to be a hero to wanting to destroy them did not happen all at once. It may have started when All Might chose Mikumo to be his successor, but it was a number of events that pushed Izuku to it. A slow progression that no one bothered trying to stop.
