Beautiful but tiring
Amazing but will I read it again with a precarious mental state? Not recommended

Summary
Katsuki watches Izuku stand bewilderedly in the street, half in and half out of a nearby streetlamp like an amateur without enough sense to understand if they are lead player or stagehand. Half of his hair shines in the light like he could be wearing a jagged halo. The other half of his face is nothing but a shadow with an opinion all its own - perhaps a smirk hidden like a dagger in the night, or a judgemental frown, or something that Katsuki couldn’t comprehend even if someone explained it to him.
“Fucker,” says Katsuki, but his eyes don’t move from the sliver in the curtains until Izuku finally steps out of the streetlight and on the path to his own home.
They are neighbors. They are from completely different worlds. They are growing apart. They are victims to something they don’t have the words for yet.

Summary
August 25th, 2018.
This was the exact day The Fall began. No one knew it.
Enter: Izuku Midoriya, standing by as his loved ones are killed off one by one, all until just his husband, his children, and himself remain. At age 34, the League of Villains is destroyed, leaving Izuku and All for One standing face to face. It's there, standing in that rubble-strewn street that Izuku loses everything once and for all, and pays the ultimate price.
Except he doesn't.
He wakes up, 34 years old and shoved back into his 14 year old body with scars he shouldn’t have. He's traumatized by events that never happened, torn up over the death of a husband that never was, and reeling from the loss of kids that will never be. Nothing makes any goddamn sense anymore, but he does know one thing for sure: somehow, someway, he has a second chance.
His name is Izuku Midoriya, and by God, as long as he's still breathing, he's going to do what he can to save the world.
Being edited and rewritten in 2026! Revamped Chapter 1/34 -- Last Chapter is excerpt, announcement/explanation. Enjoy!

Summary
“What words did you say, exactly? Share with us. Show us how much of a monster you really are, Ground Zero.”
I told him…
‘Shut up!'
…that I have a time saving idea for him…
‘Shut up!’
…that if he wants to have a quirk that badly…
‘Shut the fuck up!!!’
…he should take a swan dive off a roof and hope for a quirk in his next life
The pain blooms on his throat this time as the characters that write the answer carve themselves into his skin. It doesn’t feel like a scalpel cutting through his skin this time. Nor does it feel like his skin is breaking on its own after being stretched too thin. Instead, the experience is akin to having his throat literally shredded, as if a million of tiny, jagged claws or teeth are digging into his flesh and pulling at it to brand him with the words.
This time, Katsuki screams.
A.K.A In which Katsuki is captured by villains who want to expose him as a 'false hero' (as per Stain's ideology) and use a truth serum-like quirk to do it.Mind the tags.

Summary
"The first time Captain Levi tells Deku that his cleaning’s 'not horrible' Deku cries, because this is the highest praise any soldier can ever be given in the Survey Corps. The others clap enthusiastically as he sobs into Petra’s shoulder."
At USJ, Midoriya Izuku, instead of landing in the Flood Zone, is dropped into the world of Attack on Titan, promptly smashing his head on a rock and losing all his memories. Shiganshina has just fallen, and he wakes up on a refugee boat heading to Trost with no idea who he is or how he got there.
Deku No-Surname is a former member of the Trostian Mafia, a street rat, and a valued member of Special Operations Squad Levi. His plans for the future haven't really surpassed "try not to die" until he finds himself being dragged into keeping Eren Jaeger, his fellow (quirked?) buddy from being executed by their totalitarian government.
And then they're at war.
He didn't really sign up for this.
When he returns to his homeworld, he's... different. Sharper. Not the sniveling little kid 1-A remembers him as. No one knows where he's been, or where he got his scars, and he's not telling.
All he knows is that if he's going down, he's dragging the League with him.

Summary
He looked so alive, more than anyone else in the room, maybe even in the hospital. He didn’t seem like he belonged in such a sad place, he was too warm, too radiant, like powerful sun rays gently waking you up in the morning. He found himself closely observing the boy’s face, his light brown eyes were filled with kindness, his delicate pale skin was stretched out in a smile so wide he wondered if it was painful to be that happy.
---------------------------------
After a failed suicide attempt, Kageyama is being forced into a residential inpatient program at Karasuno Hospital. To make matters worse, he has to room with an orange haired boy who seems to alternate between wanting to befriend Kageyama and struggling with his own inner demons. The group of struggling teens in his program are dealing with their own issues, but little does Kageyama know they are about to change his life.Russian Translation: Here

Summary
Not all change is good. In fact, Tsukishima Kei would argue that most change is unfortunate, even if for the better. He finally seemed to get a grip on his relationships— with Yamaguchi, Akiteru, and volleyball. Is it not enough for him to maintain the new normal? If he could only reach the switch, flip it, and shed some light on his situation.
