Summary
None of the reaction fics for this are finished so I made my own.
Also, I don't have enough time to proofread it since there's just so many chapters and I have a lot of fanfiction I want to move to AO3, so please tell me if you catch any mistakes, thanks :)

The one they call 'Broccoli' by Texiliaz
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
17 May 2026
Summary
At first glance, being able to transform into a cat might not be so bad. And really, it wasn't.
But you know what WAS bad?
Having to keep your identity a secret from your mentors, who, unbeknownst to them, you've been living with as their pet cat since you were 12. It certainly didn't help that this quirk apparantly had a time limit either.
Oh, also, the ghosts living in One For All is certainly not helping...
Watch Izuku struggle between keeping up his training in becoming a hero, while keeping his life as a human and as a cat separate from each other. As well as keeping it a secret from the two who are slowly becoming the most important people in both of his lives.

Peppy but Out of Tune by BC_Brynn
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
10 Nov 2025
Summary
One arrest made, and suddenly the whole world knows about the abuse going on in the Todoroki household.
Shouta doesn’t understand how he missed it.
He missed other problems, too, mistaking them for teenage antics. Suddenly class 1-A needs a far closer scrutiny. And maybe Shouta needs help – fortunately, Hizashi is always there for him.
Shouta gave Bakugou a tired glare, like a quiet admonition of ‘did you just try to get into a shouting match with Present Mic? are you stupid?’

Going On Strike by RandomAssRaven
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
18 Sep 2025
Summary
Various members of 1-A are chilling in the common room of U.A. watching the news when a certain story pops up. The 1-A students say some very... Questionable things and Midoriya Izuku doesn't like it.
He doesn't like it one bit.
All Shinsou Hitoshi wanted was a snack, he swears it to the holy cat and coffee gods. But instead he gets a spiteful green bean and he can't say he regrets it.

Screw the Future and Rewrite Fate by JayLinWrites
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
17 Aug 2025
Summary
Fourteen-year-old him was an idiot. He should've never joined the League of Villains. He wanted to fix society, not end it. How the hell was he supposed to know that Shigaraki would release an army of Nomu across Japan and kickstart the Nomu apocalypse?!
But it happened, and now his friends are all dead (no thanks to him), and the only way to fix this mess is to turn back the hands of time to where this all began. Which means he has to go to UA and get into the Hero Course. The Quirkless, ex-villain, has to become a Hero to save the world.
. . . Yeah, this isn't gonna turn out well.

Friendship is Inevitable by KingLeeh
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
25 Apr 2025
Summary
Aizawa Shouta remembers Bakugou at the beginning of the year, clearly stating that all he came to do was win, and would gladly step on anyone who got in his way.
Now he has a 'squad' named after him.
Aizawa Shouta remembers Todoroki declaring war on Midoriya, making it clear that he was here to be the best and didn't give a damn about anyone or anything, besides getting to the top.
All but five minutes later, he risked his life without hesitation to help Izuku and Iida.
So, when Hitoshi's first day in class A arrives, and he tells his Dads that he's not joining the hero course to make friends, Aizawa and Yamada share a look, and then laugh right in his face.
OR
Shinsou Hitoshi's first day in Class 2A. He's not here to make friends. He's here to be a hero. If only these weirdly nice people would just leave him alone.

A Wager of Wits by A_Brat_Without_Talent
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
27 Mar 2024
Summary
In an immensely convoluted way, quirks proved that the greatest power was the human mind. People, before quirks, used to say the greatest power is thought. The human brain, a complicated organ powered by tiny pulses of electricity could beat any idiot with a couple firecrackers popping between their fingers.
When villains, with lightning bolts at their fingertips, could be bested by a hero whose only power was to manipulate fabric, it became increasingly obvious that power lies in how you used your mind.
Unfortunately for Izuku, he challenged the one person- man? Animal? Creature? Creature.- that’s power increased their mind.
But, maybe, just maybe, he could win this wager.
- -
U.A has a rule that prevents Quirkless students from applying.
Izuku, in an attempt to get the rule removed, ends up challenging Principal Nedzu to a wager of wits.

The Soul Behind The Quirk by 12Redsky34
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
22 Feb 2024
Summary
When Izuku failed to manifest a quirk, his social life took a nosedive and his father disappeared. It was like this for years; seemingly endless bullying and trying not to give his mother even more reasons to worry about him. After his ninth birthday, his father returns, but with ill intent.
Izuku developed a quirk from the stress of his resulting injuries, gained a healthy fear of fire, and lost his mother to them.
It's up to an uncle who he didn't know existed and his partner to take up the role of raising him, along with getting him used to his new quirk and lifestyle.

A father's gift by Static_head
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
25 Nov 2023
Summary
Izuku was exhausted, he had won his fight against the greatest villain there is, All For One or Hisashi Midoriya, his own father, but in a strange twist, his father decides to be a good parent and give him a birthday present.
Now Izuku is back into the past before any of his friends could die but he is back with not only One For All but All For One and all of it's quirks too so he now must live his life again with the other OFA users and the ghost of his dead father hiding the fact that he is from the future and that he is now the strongest person on earth.
He might do a little of vigilantism, taking care of a few villains that would be a pain in the ass later on, maybe putting a few of them in the right track and adopting all of his class.
AFO is just happy to be able to spend time with his brother and son again.

09 Jul 2023
Summary
“And for the record, Deku isn’t here at the moment,” Midoriya said in amusement over the screen, his eyes glinting with mischief. “So please…”
The guns began to whir to life.
Shouto found himself shouting, “Everyone move!”
“Call me Sensei.”
And then the gun fire rang out, and the Event truly began.
______________________The annual Villain Day happened once a year. Once a year, all of UA’s Hero Course would take on a persona and take part in an all out brawl live streamed to all of Japan, fighting to be the last one standing.
Post Kamino, Midoriya wanted to spark change in Hero Society.
All Midoriya needed was a platform for this change.
He might be going a tad overboard, but his father always told him to never hold back.

Silent Shadow Anthology by tunafishprincess
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
18 Jan 2023
Summary
In which Izuku is a bargain bin Kurogiri and Bakugou becomes even more guilt-ridden than canon.
Silent Shadow: Complete
Broken Silence: In progress
Anthology containing:
Silent Shadow
All Might is too late to stop the Sludge Villain the second time, leading Izuku Midoriya to die in his childhood friend's arms.
Good thing for the League of Villains. A fresh Quirkless body is exactly what they need for their new round of Quirk replication experiments. After all, why have one warper when you can have two?
Broken Silence
Sequel to Silent Shadow.
Izuku Midoriya is beginning to remember who he once was, but those memories come with a price. The League of Villains won't let him go if they find out. He doesn't want to abandon his teacher either. It's hard to be a villain when you want to be a hero, however.
Katsuki Bakugou isn't about to let Deku die a second time. He's going to pull out all the stops to get that idiot home. Thankfully, he has some help.
Between The Shadows
Set sometime pre-USJ in Silent Shadows.

Reformation by LocalCryptid7
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
26 May 2022
Summary
“Why not? You already spend most of your time with League members. We’ve been nicer to you than anyone else in your life.” Shigaraki paused and let his eyes skim over Izuku, taking him in. “I’m not saying I’d be sending you out to fight heroes. At least not right off the bat: not until you were ready. I’m saying you come back with me now, you have a safe place to stay, and we help teach you: help you level up. What do you say kid? Ready for people to actually give a shit about you?”
---
After a failed suicide attempt, years of bullying, and his mother's death, Izuku Midoriya doesn't think he has any option besides joining the League of Villains. After all, foster care is no place for a quirkless kid like him. Plus, working as a hacker and analyst for the League doesn't sound like it would be too bad. But, after meeting a hurt little girl in Overhaul's headquarters, Toga and Izuku can't just sit back and take orders from Shigaraki anymore. With some careful consideration, Izuku figures a villain reformation program at UA doesn't sound horrible, even if it means having to put up with Bakugou.

Behind everything, the blood feud between All for One and One for All continues to rage, dragging Izuku into a conflict that has more to do with him than anyone would have at first thought.
