In Which Uraraka Ochako Decides to End the World by ijustwanttodestroy
(Unfinished, last updated January 2025, 8/10 chapters, no major ship, word count: 73,224)
Summary: Ochako knows what would happen if she nullifies gravity from Earth. It’s very simple—rocket science sort of simple, in fact. What would happen is—are you ready? Okay, here we go, what would happen is: everyone would die.headcase (the color of boom) by salixys
(Finished, 3/3 chapters, no major ship, word count: 37,605)
Summary: People don’t really know this, and Denki doesn’t really make it a point to advertise it either, but he almost always feels absolutely, entirely, unequivocally insane. Like, not in the sort of I think I’m going to snap and kill everyone in the room. Definitely not when he’s tucked in Sero’s hammock like a leaf-wrapped banana slug delicacy, staring at the ceiling and counting all the ways to turn the projected red sketches of the digital clock into all the various numbers and letters, but — “I think,” Denki says eloquently, with the utmost sincerity, “that there might be something wrong with me.” or: kaminari’s been going insane since the day he turned six, yet no one at yuuei ever seems to notice except himself.split knuckles are an epidemic (and other reasons why bakugou katsuki should never be allowed around fellow children) by wispetzz (heroicallyheroic)
(Finished, 3/3 chapters, no major ship, word count: 30,996)
Summary: “If you keep thinking of yourself like that you’ll be useless forever! You’re weak ‘cuz you cry all the time! Not ‘cuz you don’t have a Quirk! Just keep punching people and you’ll be less useless, Deku.” or: instead of simply letting himself get beat up, izuku fights back. (and it's all bakugou katsuki's fault for encouraging him.)entanglement by insideascarecrow

Summary: Yaoyoruzu Momo’s been molded to be the perfect weapon. Polished, delicately crafted, dipped in venom, until she is a sharp dagger for its wielder to plunge into another heart.(whisper your secrets and keep on your mask)
Uraraka Ochako’s been burnt in a raging fire, and she’s come out raw and feral and screaming for a fight.(wipe the blood and hide your sharp toothed smile)
They’re both here for their own reasons.count burglaries: one’s life by SpeedingCheetah
(Finished, 4/4 chapters, no major ship, word count: 39,663)
Summary: There were six things that Izuku knew to define his life. One: he was quirkless. Two: the world seemed to hate him for it. Three: his mom wasn’t able to help him anymore. Four: he was going to have to figure it out. Five: some people looked at him and understood what kind of position he was in, even at a young age. And six: the world had robbed him of his ability to grow up normally. Izuku was quirkless in a world that was no longer built for people without any superpower at all. Though the numbers said that there was still a decent population of quirkless people alive today, those numbers did no transfer over to Japan—as twenty percent of the whole world did not mean twenty percent of one country. What it did mean was that for the people who were alive, quirkless, and desperate to survive, well, it meant you dug yourself a grave and laid down. (or: as long as there are communities of quirkless people, however damaged and messed up, there would be a culture for izuku to learn.)Mutuals by Gentrychild

Summary: Prompt: au where Izuku and Shoto keep getting asks sent to each other’s blog by accident and friendship ensues.the mysterious identity of u/throwaway_0107 by athellos
(Finished, 4/4 chapters, no major ship, word count: 39,115)
Summary: silent_syntax • 347d who is u/throwaway_0107? okay this one is going to be a long one. buckle up. a few weeks ago i came across the post AITA for blowing up at dinner and running off? by the user thowaway_0107 on the r/AmITheAsshole sub. it's a fairly old post that got decent track back then. it has around 3K upvotes at the time I'm writing this, and with reason, since it's a very vague AITA from a 16 yr old boy about storming off after his father refuses to let his younger brother sit with them at the dinner table. OP replied sparsely in the comments, and while the general consensus was NTA, i was asking myself the same questions everyone else was, so I decided to click on throwaway_0107's profile to see if they had any other posts. and then i fell into a rabbit hole that made me end up wondering… just who the fuck is this guy? . A mysterious reddit user sparks the attention of those who like conspiracy theories. (Un)lucky for them, they might just uncover the truth behind Japan’s N°1 Hero.Wilted Snowdrops by eldritchgoats
(Unfinished, last updated 2023, 4/5 chapters, Todoroki Rei/Original Female Character, word count: 72,575)
Summary: Todoroki Rei is a fragile woman. Or at least, that’s what they'd tell you. That's what her husband thinks, of course, and that's what the media thinks whenever he deigns to bring her out to various Hero Galas and whatnots. She doesn't pay them much attention, but the media still tries to ask her questions, as a few reporters always manage to wiggle into the events for publicity sake. What is it like being the wife of the Number Two Hero? they ask. How is Endeavor as a husband? If Todoroki Rei were a braver woman, she would tell them that she is only a wife in name; really, she's no better than a prime breeder cow. She is useful only when she is able to procreate, and if she were not, she'd be sold as meat. But Todoroki Rei is meek. So she just smiles a fake smile, dips her head whilst feeling the burn of Enji's eyes boring into her, and says the honor is all mine. The problem with all of this is that this is Todoroki Rei. Himura Rei, however, is not weak. And Himura Rei loved her family more than anything. (or, how Himura Rei takes back her name, takes back her life, and becomes a role model her kids can look up to, for once.)El Manisero by Lila17

Summary: I deeply hope this becomes known in the fandom as "that fic where Sero runs a peanut cartel at UA" "Reading this felt like having an existential crisis" -my sister, 2018from the perfect start to the finish line by supercrunch
(Finished, 1/1 chapters, Midoriya Hisashi/Midoriya Inko, All For One/Midoriya Inko, word count: 18,335)
Summary: Inko wakes up a few times with hazy nightmares of bruises and grinding bones. Hisashi sleeps soundly. She stares at the wall and thinks of the child she’s still keeping a secret, thinks about their future with a trapped mother and a father who wouldn’t think twice about ending a life. Her friends have disappeared. The boy who'd flirted with her is dead. Hisashi's right in the middle of it, with that smile that says he'd do it all again in a heartbeat. She can’t let her baby end up like that. She can’t watch an innocent mind be warped into the person that Hisashi must be. It’ll be hard, raising a kid on her own. She hasn’t even gone to a doctor yet to make sure her pregnancy’s going okay. “Either I give up everything I have,” she says, hand resting on her belly. “Or I let Hisashi ruin my baby forever.” (The choice is easy, in the end. She picks her child.)
