Summary
Midoriya Izuku has been set back further than any previous point in his life. If All-Might says he can't be a Hero, what chance does he really have? He has to give that up and move forward realistically. No matter the twist of the knife...
An extensive knowledge of Heroes and their world has its uses elsewhere. However, can he truly abandon that want, desire, need to be a Hero? Can he deny himself that? Or will he give to his compulsion? -

Summary
Sometimes Midoriya Izuku wished he hadn't accepted All Might's offer. He wished he had made his way to the top with his fists and bared teeth, blood on his knuckles, no power drumming beneath his skin.
Alas, life wasn’t fair, Midoriya had said yes, he had graduated out of UA and had become a Pro hero, green lightning following him all the way to the end.But who said it was too late for change ?
Midoriya's life was never easy, and was never fair, so of course, he would get hit by a time travel quirk and end up stuck in the past, 14 and quirkless again. Shit.
Watch as Midoriya has to pave his way towards his dream, brick after brick.
But no one said he had to do it alone.

Summary
The Sludge Villain doesn't find Bakugo after escaping All Might, but some other random civilian. There's no series of explosions to draw All Might to the scene of the second attack. It's by pure luck that Izuku stumbles upon them. And Izuku does what he always has when he sees one person hurting another: inserts himself between the aggressor and victim. He finds this is significantly harder to do when one of the parties is a sentient slime.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya is going to be a hero, and where can he learn that better than U.A.? Sure it'll be challenging, but he has the full support of his rather... unusual family, and he'll be attending alongside his closest friends!
And besides, All For One retired years ago and has made it quite clear he will not be returning to his life of crime so long as Izuku keeps him supplied with hugs. With the most dangerous villain ever officially dead, what's the worst that can happen?

Build Me Up! by L3opard_Sp0ts

Summary
After his internship with Gran Torino and the Stain Incident, Izuku is stuck with one lingering thought: he can’t be another All Might. Gran had said his admiration was a shackle but what did it mean to not emulate All Might? Who was Izuku anyway if you stripped the All Might from him? Could little quirkless Izuku really be a hero? There’s only one thing to do really. If he needs help with being himself, then he’ll go to the one person who has never bowed to society’s expectations of her: the R-Rated Hero, Midnight!
It’s painfully obvious to Nemuri that Izuku Midoriya is about as awkward and anxiety riddled as possible but she’s never backed down from a challenge before. And if this bone-breaking nervous wreck needs a little self-confidence, well then she’ll just have to build him up one brick at a time.
Sometimes just a little confidence can change the whole world.

Summary
Some of the kids would definitely be harder to help than others, and she likely would have to prioritize and address the problems as they came up, but she had every confidence that she could solve most if not all of the immediate issues she came across.
Let it be known that Ms. Joke never backed down from a challenge.
-----------
The lives of Class 1-A and those around them changed the day Midoriya Izuku was expelled. But now, at a different school and with a different outlook, perhaps they can begin to heal.

Pro Hero Metal Bat by Phantos

Summary
What if Midoriya Izuku turned the opposite way down the street one fateful night?
What if All-Might made a choice thought to be for the best?
What if a few familiar faces met Izuku before he entered Yuei?
What if he found a bat lying around the beach?
What if being quirkless didn't mean powerless?
What if he wasn't alone?A fun attempt at the story meshing my favorite OPM character, Metal Bat, onto Izuku as he grows in a world not too dissimilar from the canon, but with alterations in details and the laws of which I can explore the 'quirkless Izuku' concept in another manner than usual. Many faces and names from other series of fiction to appear beyond just those tagged, as I'd be doing Hori a disservice not to preserve the shoutouts he gives to his fellow Mangaka over the years and then some.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya’s father is a Hou-ou — a Japanese phoenix.
For some reason, this means yokai have a standing invitation to pester Izuku with their existence. Birds assemble choirs for his birthday. If there’s no cedar leaf under the welcome mat, the amazake babaa that lives two apartments over will be knocking on their door by evening. His yokai-purifying excursions get mistaken for vigilantism far too often.
(What’s going on with All Might? Is Principle Nedzu a yokai? Tokoyami, could you please get Dark Shadow to stop calling me ‘my Lord’?)

Summary
Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.
Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA.

When Predator Becomes Prey by mynameisalexanderhamilton

Summary
Something snaps inside Izuku’s mind. And no, he definitely was not going insane. But he now finds himself contemplating the idea of letting people taste their own medicine.
Maybe this time, he’ll be the predator in this cat and mouse chase.
Fixing his tie, he looks up and tilts his head to stare back at the explosive man. He clears his throat, and laced with venom and spite, he spits out a retort.
“Let’s see you try, hero.”
Inspired by Hero Class Civil Warfare and The old bait and switch.
