Summary
Being taken from the ruins of Jaku City was a relief at first. It promised safety and survival. Field medics treated the worst wounds. Med-evac teams stabilized bodies where they could and soothed minds. None of them knew yet that Central Hospital was a horror all its own.
Surviving it fractured Aizawa Shōta's mind, but he's still a hero. Or is he really a vigilante? An anti-hero? Or a villain?

Summary
It had been a few... Days? Weeks? Since Izuku left UA to search for All for One with no luck in his hunt. He had been fighting off assassins sent by the villain which only added to his ever growing fatigue. The boy contemplated taking a break, only to discard that thought instantly. He couldn't show any weakness, but something about the girl that had been watching his movements in the past days made him question that.

Summary
Based on “Villain Hunter” by Drink_Some_Water: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41665137
I wanted to try to make a continuation of the short fanfic "Villain Hunter" due to the fact I really enjoyed the Dark Hero Arc, for the wrong reasons but reasons none the less.
Basically what happens afterwards where Izuku continues to be the Villain Hunter, how it affects Ochako's life and how their love eventually causes something special later on in their lives.

Dark Deku Arc Extended by SweetiePages90

Summary
What really happened to Izuku Midoriya during the Dark Deku Arc? What exactly was going through his head? How did he gain experience with the other Quirks? And were his ideals actually challenged? Why do I keep asking all of these questions?!
I wrote this, because the Dark Deku Arc is too short and missing details. It was driving me crazy. So, I fixed it. Updates will be on Saturdays.

a legacy of ash in your palm by SpiritusRex

Summary
Katsuki throws his blankets aside and leaps out of bed, not taking his eyes off of Izuku for even a heartbeat. This may or may not even be real, but he feels like if he blinks Izuku will disappear, vanishing into the darkness without even leaving a note this time.
The more time he spends taking in Izuku, the stronger his doubts about reality become. The other boy is wearing his UA uniform, tie knotted in that terrible way he always has it, but… that isn’t right. Izuku had left his uniform behind in his room when he’d run off to play vigilante. Besides the wardrobe not making sense, something about Izuku as a whole is… indistinct. His form isn't solid—he isn't really sharing this physical space with Katsuki. Instead, his edges are soft and wispy. They give the appearance that Izuku is dispersing into the air one molecule at a time, untethered and ghostly.
"What is this?" Katsuki asks, narrowing his eyes.
Izuku has a hard request to make of Katsuki.

Summary
Dog eat Dog. Ghost eat Ghost. They're both the same, in a way. Abandoned masters. Abandoned dreams. They are fighting each other. Why?
Izuku misses a left. Shigaraki reaches out to grab him. That misses, too.
Shigaraki punches Izuku in the stomach, but he narrowly avoids being decayed. Izuku slams his fist into Shigaraki’s throat.
Maybe in a different world, a kinder, better one, they wouldn’t be in a fight to the death. In a kinder one, a distant one far away, maybe, just maybe they could’ve been friends.
Not in this one.
Or, there are two soldiers with the weights of their own worlds on their shoulders. They are fighting for ideals they don't know if they believe in anymore. But who are you if not the legacy you carry?
