Izu Finding Comfort in the Strangest of Places
Just fanfics where Izuku Midoriya is stressed (and stuff) and ends up finding solace in some unlikely companions. (Obviously it's usually the League, but there might just be others.)
[At the time of creating this collection, I've found a pattern. In a lot of the ones I've read at least, Izu has chronic pain.]
[EXTREMELY ANGSTY!!! Probably also fluff and hurt/comfort, but there WILL BE A LOT OF ANGST]
[POSSIBLE/COMMON TWs (no particular order):
Past/present bullying
Stress
Panic attacks
Distrust of authority figures (mainly caused by past experiences)
Self-harm (thoughts/tendencies/elements)
Suicide (thoughts/tendencies/elements)
Dissociation
PTSD
Irrational fears
General (past) trauma
Chronic pain]

Summary
Fundamentally, humans needed to socialize.
Isolation did questionable things to people and their minds. So most people just…talked. They spoke to whoever would listen and unintentionally spilled their secrets to whoever was nodding along to their stories.
And…well, it took a few years for Midoriya to figure out why exactly so many people felt the need to trauma dump on him.
OR: Izuku has an Omelas quirk. With a twist.

Summary
“I c-can’t turn it off,” Izuku says in a tiny voice, “I d-don’t know how.”

Used to scaring people, he manages to find two heroes who don’t run away. With a new home and a new family, Izuku must now learn how to integrate into a society with a quirk that utterly terrifies others.
