Currently Updating:
Those are the ones I'm currently working on until they are finished.
Starchaser
Yagi Toshinori might want someone to continue his mantle as the Symbol of Peace, but Midoriya Izuku knows that he'll never be able to climb up that high. Not when the corpses of the dead keep dragging him down to the underground. - Shirakumo Oboro and Midoriya Izuku are just opposite sides of the same coin. Aizawa Shouta notices that fact before anyone else does.
Chapters: 11/? Word Count: 22,216 Tags: AU, Midoriya Izuku sees ghosts, Ghost Shirakumo Oboro, Past OFA users are all dumbasses, Aizawa Shouta co-parenting one problem child with 7 ghosts
close to the stars
“You know, almost everyone says the same thing to me—I can’t be a hero without a quirk, because I’d be too helpless and weak. Because apparently, I can’t save people without a quirk.” Izuku takes a glance at everyone—from Katsuki, his brother, and the crowd—before he settles his gaze on the heroes once more. “But what makes you heroes? You all have perfectly fine quirks and yet most of you couldn’t do anything today.” - Takami Keigo adopts Izuku, and that alone changes everything, from his life to the way he handles OFA. (Note: This is not an All Might bashing story!)
Chapters: 11/? Word Count: 17,467 Tags: Suicide Attempt in the first chapter (undetailed), Big Brother Hawks, Dabi is a mess, Yagi just being a big dork, Izuku does take OFA but the way he interacts with it is a bit diff than in canon
Realism
The repercussions of being realistic are sometimes too heavy to bear. Or: Takami Keigo wakes up in a world where a quirkless Midoriya Izuku applies for an internship at his agency.
Chapters: 5/? Word Count: 6,834 Tags: AU, Hawks ends up in an alternative universe, Quirkless!Izuku, Katsuki is dead, HPSC intern!Izuku, Keigo is playing detective trying to figure out why Izuku is quirkless, Aizawa Shouta is trying to figure out how to adopt one very sad kid, Mitsuki and Masaru struggling with their son's death but also... finding out how kinda bullied Izuku, it's very complicated and just a mess of emotions and consequences
Ink Splashes
"It's a form of projective synesthesia," the doctor said, pointing at his papers, "Not a quirk I fear." "This is bullshit," Aizawa tells him as they look at the paperwork, "Don't make me regret this." Izuku stares at the silver ink splashes on the hero and thinks, No, not when you wear such a warm color. - Midoriya Izuku gets adopted by the Eraserhead. He also learns that some doctors just don't give a fuck about their jobs. Or about "quirkless", little kids.
Chapters: 13/? Word Count: 16,750 Tags: AU, Izuku has a Quirk, Aizawa adopts him, the best way to describe this story is that Izuku's perceives souls and that dramatically changes the way he views people and things
Volery
Volery 1. A flight of birds. 2. A large bird cage; an aviary. - Absolutely no one could have predicted that Hawks taking over All Might's place as Midoriya Izuku's favorite hero would lead to the eventual reform of the Hero Public Safety Commission. No one.
Chapters: 5/? Word Count: 7,350 Tags: HPSC Intern!Izuku, Vigilante!Izuku (kind of), won't say anything about any quirks for now :3, basic gist is Izuku kind of ends up... reforming the whole commission on accident and that has lasting effects on the whole hero community, meanwhile Keigo is trying to adopt the kid bc have u seen his big, green eyes full of innocence?
ignis fatuus
It all begins with a wrong diagnosis from a, in hindsight, shady doctor. It probably doesn't help that he immediately quit his job at that specific clinic and vanished afterwards, but Izuku digresses. - Aizawa Shouts gets called on a case to dismantle a cult, Takami Keigo is there on the HPSC's orders, and Midoriya Izuku would like to escape said cult. It all works out somehow.
Chapters: 1/? (might turn it into series format instead of a multi-chap) Word Count: 1,996 Tags: Izuku was raised in a cult in this one but dw, trust Aizawa to adopt him on sight, growing up in a cult is a game changer for literally everything, which Keigo is the true Keigo? The one who deceives the hpsc, the one who deceives the public, or the one who crashes into window panels? Izuku has a quirk and the eternal mission of fucking with everyone's mind
Planned one shot:
Teacher!Izuku and how he keeps giving Aizawa headaches:
On Hiatus:
All other BNHA stories. Those won't be updated until the ones above are finished.
Unless stated in the title/summary, a work is not abandoned! However, I focus on whatever fandom has the most of my interest at any given moment, so some works might take a while to be updated. Comments and kudos are always great motivation-givers (except you ask about the status of a particular work on an unrelated work—please refrain from doing that, as I’ll most likely end up shoving a potential update back by a few weeks out of spite).
