Summary
“I can’t sleep.”
All Might raised a brow, “Any reason in particular?”
Izuku shook his head, “I’ve always been a bit of an insomniac, but it’s never been this bad. So I thought I might as well get some training in.”
All Might smiled softly, “As much as I admire your dedication, young Midoriya, this is hardly healthy, and, overall, not beneficial or sustainable in the long run. Either way, I can't let you stay here. Let’s get you to the dorms, and we'll see what we can do about your sleeping problem."
OR,
Izuku Midoriya is a bit of an insomniac, luckily All Might’s there to help.

Summary
Shinsou Hitoshi had a bit of a problem, and that problem was that he’d gotten attached to Aizawa Shouta. And somewhere along the line had started seeing him as a parental figure, a replacement for all the foster home parents who’d passed him along and never quite done their job.
A kid who's been in foster care his entire life spends a normal, average day after training with the teacher who seems to care a little too much.

Summary
They watch each other for a long moment: one unreadable, the other unsure. Then, as if in slow motion, Katsuki watches as his mother’s face crumples into something he can only describe as pure anguish.
“Katsuki,” she whispers, like a prayer.
And then she’s running—barrelling towards him and knocking the breath from his chest.

Summary
They’re heroes-in-training, and since their journey began, they’ve experienced awful, horrible things. But Midoriya carries on fearlessly, smashing to certain victory, going above and beyond to save the day.
What if, one day, he pushes himself too far and is just… gone?
His exuberance for heroes, his mutterings, or his nervous smiles — lost. She can’t stomach the idea of walking through U.A.'s halls and not seeing those familiar green curls. A galaxy of freckles. Twitchy scarred hands. Uraraka doesn’t want to imagine a world without Midoriya Izuku.
In the aftermath of the Shie Hassaikai raid, Uraraka spirals over the fragile mortality of her dear friend and fellow hero, Deku.

Summary
Heroism is known to be the courage that a person possesses as they battle against villainry. For Class 1-A, however, a cup of chaos, spite, and bravery may just be the ingredients that make up their heroic nature.
Or: Four times Class 1-A makes Shouta regret his career decision, and the one time he admits to himself that he actually can't seriously regret it.

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
It was a normal day in Class 1-A, emphasis on the 'was'.
Really, when Aizawa was giving his lecture on the importance of personas in heroics, they should have just listened...instead, they get to deal with a Midoriya that acts like Bakugou for the day.

"Why did you forgive me? I was- I was horrible to you."
others were worse, Deku doesn't say. Because it's not important.
"No, you weren't."
If the conversation had ended there, perhaps they could have gone their separate ways, Bakugo cursing all the while and Izuku left to soak his pillow in silence.
It was routine. That was what was supposed to happen.
"Because other people did! Other people did mean it."

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”
The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.
or,
Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...

Summary
If there was one thing Izuku Midoriya was good at, it was crying. Ever since he was four years old, when he was diagnosed quirkless and everything started going wrong, crying had become his most sharply-honed skill. But crying couldn't make you a hero. And that was all he had ever wanted.
One night, after a particularly painful beating from his childhood friend Kacchan and his lackeys, Izuku found himself once again practicing his only true skill.
And something changed.
Izuku was overjoyed at finding that he did, in fact, have a quirk, even if it was a useless and even slightly uncomfortable one. His joy was short-lived, however. Who could have predicted that the one thing he had always dreamed of and that society had shunned him for lacking would mark the beginning of the end of Izuku's life?- Language:
