Summary
After a very bad day at school, Izuku makes a split-second decision to take matters into his own hands while waiting for his train. He feels like he's stuck in a tunnel of intrusive thoughts where there seems to be no light at the end—
That is until he meets a strange man by the name of Aizawa Shota; a teacher who's like no other Izuku has ever met before. Caring and kind, someone who actually listens. Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all?
Maybe not all Heroes need a license to be a Hero.

Summary
“Taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you’re more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.” - Bette Greene
In another world, Chisaki Kai is a ruthless, cruel man who stops at nothing to rid the world of quirks. In this one, however, he draws lines: one being Eri. He cares for her, treats her like his own daughter. And for his precious daughter, he needs somebody to help care for her, somebody who isn’t one of the Eight Bullets or a member of the Yakuza.
Enter one Midoriya Izuku: quirkless, protective, and the perfect candidate to be her babysitter. Now if only Chisaki could just stop worrying about the boy, too, that would be great. (No, Chronostasis, he does not have ‘paternal instincts,’ thank you very much!)
Or: Midoriya Izuku (accidentally) turns the Yakuza into the
goodmorally grey guys.Series

I was majorly skeptical but this shit SLAPS bro. It is very good. These text is dense at times but there is just so much story in this story.

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Blank Canvas: Heritage by jokeraddict0

Summary
This is part 3 of my Blank Canvas AU. If you have not read the first two parts, you should do that before starting this one. ;) On to the summary!
Midoriya Izuku has been tried and tested and is already making a name as the first Quirkless Hero. Winner of the Sports Festival and capturer of the infamous Hero Killer Stain. Whether his accomplishments are praised or criticized, Izuku is well on his way to be a Hero. Through thick and thin, success or ruin, he will fight the good fight with his friends, family, and mentors encouraging him on. Watch out Villains of the world, the Hero Edge is on the case.
This next part will follow through the exams, lead up to the training camp, and whatever other shenanigans these problem children get into. As always, this is a slow burn fic and honestly I have no idea how long this part will end up being. But I have a plan for an ending of sorts so we'll have to wait and see!

Summary
This is part 2 of my Blank Canvas AU. If you have not read the first part, you should do that before starting this. ;) On to the summary!
Izuku and Hitoshi have done it. A Quirkless and a Villain have faced every challenge and set back and have successfully fought their way into the Hero Course. Now all that was left was to become Heroes. Easy, right?
This next part of the series follows their start in the Hero Course. Friends reunite. New bonds are made. Lessons are taught and learned. All in hopes of becoming Heroes to make a better world. If the world lets them that is. Will their convictions hold out? Only time will tell!
