Summary
It was an accident.
Really.
The first time was genuinely an accident. Izuku had never meant to kill one of his friends.
But no one had believed him when he said it was his fault. How could it be? He was quirkless. Izuku was barely seven years old. No one believed that when he said Hibiki Nara’s name, calling him from across the playground, the boy dropped dead instantly.
_____
OR: Izuku is a Dullahan, a headless horseman, with all the powers of one. But no one believed him, and he became a vigilante. For better or worse, he tries to keep going, because unfortunately, he cannot die, either.

Summary
The fall felt like eternity - but perhaps moments as big as this always feel like time has stopped. Izuku looked up to the now dark sky, the stars just barely beginning to pop out. He would miss them, they were the only constant remaining in his life, something he’d always found comfort in. The only thought that echoed in his head was: ‘I don’t want to die, but I don’t know how to live anymore.’
He heard the crunch of bone splintering on asphalt before mentally registering he’d reached the ground; everything went black.
_____
OR: Izuku finds out - the hard way - that he has an immortality quirk. His new guardians and UA take it seriously, and UA is good at their jobs.

Summary
Aizawa Shouta’s instincts were nearly 100% accurate, as was his eye for small details. They were skills honed through years working the Underground, and only broadened when it came to dealing with 20 incredibly powerful teens year after year. So, when he noticed that Midoriya hadn’t brought a lunch for the fourth time this week, he knew something was off.

Summary
Everybody who knew Midoriya Izuku for long enough knew this day was coming, the day he snapped. The day where he burned, not the world, but himself. He was too selfless, uncaring of what happened to him. He held too much kindness for others and none for himself.
Sure, it was sad to think about, and nobody wanted the day to come, but the all knew it would.

Summary
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...This fic has a discord.

Summary
Izuku slowly drifts towards the back edge of the building, as if drawn by some invisible force. He gazes down into the abandoned alley below, full of trash cans and rats most likely. Bakugou's words replay in his head, over and over again.
Take a swan dive off the roof.
For the first time in his life, Izuku doesn't overthink his decision.
Instead, he pivots on his heel, inching them closer to the edge. With outstretched arms, Izuku tilts his body backward.
He falls.
TLDR - Izuku decided to take Bakugou’s advice and attempts to kill himself, but the next day he wakes up unharmed and very confused.

Summary
“Please change its name,” Megumi pleaded, hand poised to hit his head again.
Itadori frowned. “Why? It’s cute.”
Because it’s driving me crazy when you say my name all the damn time in a voice filled with so much fondness that I wish you were talking to me. “Because it’s confusing,” he opted to say instead.
or, yuuji brings home a cat, megumi is jealous, and somehow, it might be the final push across that line. (its a lot sillier than it seems)

Summary
This year, UA is experimenting with a new Young Villain and Criminal Reformation Program. Instead of twenty hero students, the first year hero class will be a combination of both hero and villain students....The hero students will have one year to find the villains in their midst in order to escape Eraserhead’s expulsion. For the villains, this is their last shot— it’s blending in or it’s prison.
Midoriya Izuku wants nothing more than to be the first quirkless hero. After failing the practical hero exam, he’s shocked when he receives a letter telling him that he has been offered a tentative position in the illustrious Class 1-A.
There’s just one problem: Midoriya has been accepted to Class 1-A as a villain, and he has absolutely no idea why.
