* NeverMyFault: A frequent issue with Bakugou, and something that often winds up [[HoistByHisOwnPetard biting him in the backside]]. In "Blue Sky", Hana warns the proctors about him and prevents him from taking the Hero Exam. Katsuki winds up in Gen Ed, where he proceeds to keep himself isolated due to constantly mocking all of his peers. When he's unable to assemble a team for the Calvary Race because nobody is willing to work with him, he immediately blames Izuku and tries going after him in front of Midnight, getting himself expelled.

* AdaptationNameChange: In both "Miss Direction" and "Seiai Academy", following the realization they are a trans girl, Midoriya changes her legal name to Kumiko.

* ButtMonkey: Aizawa, Overhaul, and ''especially'' Nighteye tend to get dunked on in their [=AUs=].

* ControlFreak: Frequently highlighted as one of Sir Nighteye's {{Fatal Flaw}}s; as far as he's concerned, ''nothing'' Toshinori does with One for All is right.
** Used for DramaticIrony in "Protégé Swap", where Toshinori picks Mirio as his successor on his own... but since Nighteye wasn't involved, he doesn't approve, and decides ''Izuku'' would make a better bearer.

** Heroes May Cry: Izuku is a grandson of Sparda from Inko's side, bringing him into the world of Devil Hunters and incursions labeled as "extraterrestrial", disguising the fact that demons exist.

* IHatePastMe: Nighteye becoming a holder of One for All in the "Failed Foresight" AU means that a Vestige of himself develops inside the Quirk after he passes it on to Mirio. Witnessing all of the horrific fallout of Nighteye's decisions while unable to do anything about what them causes said Vestige to develop this attitude towards his living counterpart.

** In the "Save Eri Speedrun", Sir Nighteye's reputation takes a beating after he makes clear that he would have rather let an abused child continue to suffer rather than alter his plans. This is ''entirely'' his own fault, as Izuku had already rescued Eri; even if he didn't approve, he could have just kept his mouth shut. Due to his ControlFreak tendencies, however, he reveals his SkewedPriorities and earns the scorn of all and sundry.

** In the "Runaways" AU, Izuku dies during the Overhaul Raid, passing One for All to Eri. Nighteye then pressures her to give it to Mirio, making her come to the conclusion that he ''intentionally'' got Izuku killed because he wanted his Quirk, so she runs away. On top of this, Nighteye's report on the incident includes a description of her original Quirk, which draws the attention of the HPSC.

* ActuallyADoombot: "Clone for One" has All For One as a body double made by the original 200 years ago. The original AFO retired after his brother died, being referred to as "Legitimate Businessman Midoriya Hisashi" and is Izuku's father.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Several of their [=AUs=] involve somebody else being entrusted with One For All, or Izuku winding up with a different Quirk.
** "All Of You Might Be Adopted": All For One gives Izuku a collection of Quirks meant to mimic One For All, which is informally referred to as 'We have One For All at home'.

** "Failed Foresight": Sir Nighteye ends up with One For All after Toshinori dies following his climatic duel with All For One.

** "Frozen Legacy": Fuyumi ends up with One For All.

** "Hagakure For All": Hagakure is given One For All after impressing Toshinori with her conduct during the Entrance Exam.

** "Hatsume For All": Mei Hatsume gets One For All, and is also a vigilante.

** "Musketeer": Izuku manages to unlock All For One ''inside'' of One For All during the Entrance Exam.
** "One for Ashido": Toshinori gives Ashido One For All after witnessing her tricking Gigantomachia.
** "Protégé Swap": Toshinori gives One For All to Mirio; Sir Nighteye was not involved in this decision, and spitefully decides to champion Izuku as ''his'' choice for a superior successor.

** "Quasar": Inko has One For All.

** "Shiozaki For All": Shiozaki is given One For All following All Might's big fight with All For One.

* ControlFreak: Frequently highlighted as one of Sir Nighteye's {{Fatal Flaw}}s; as far as he's concerned, ''nothing'' Toshinori does with One For All is right.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: PlayedForDrama in "Failed Foresight" when Nighteye decides to pass One For All over to Mirio without explaining anything or even asking his chosen successor for ''permission'' first.

* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: Certain scenarios, like "Failed Foresight", "Frozen Legacy", and "Shiozaki For All" involve Toshinori passing his Quirk on to somebody after being critically injured. Though this doesn't always end in his demise...

** In the "Runaways" AU, Izuku dies during the Overhaul Raid, passing One For All to Eri. Nighteye then pressures her to give it to Mirio, making her come to the conclusion that he ''intentionally'' got Izuku killed because he wanted his Quirk, so she runs away. On top of this, Nighteye's report on the incident includes a description of her original Quirk, which draws the attention of the HPSC.

** In "Failed Foresight", Mirio is... deeply unimpressed by Nighteye deciding to transfer One For All to him ''without'' bothering to get his permission first. Or even telling him what's going on.

*** "Expelled" is also commonly combined with other [=AUs=] as a shorthand for "What if Aizawa expelled Izuku on his first day at U.A. in ''this'' AU?" The results tend to get quite ugly. Such as the crossover with "Yakuza Inko", wherein Izuku cheerfully informs him, Kan and Nedzu that he has no intention of transferring back into the Hero Course ''at all'' after winning the Sports Festival, having decided that he'll take over the family business after graduating from Gen Ed.
** "Failed Foresight" has Nighteye ending up with One For All after Toshinori dies in his battle with AFO. He proceeds to repeatedly make things worse due to his [[FatalFlaw critical lack of foresight]], such as passing his Quirk on to Mirio ''without warning Mirio or getting his permission first''. The AU could effectively be summarized as "Sir Nighteye Ruins Everything".

** "Failed Foresight" has Nighteye ending up with One For All after Toshinori dies in his battle with AFO. He proceeds to repeatedly make things worse due to his [[FatalFlaw critical lack of foresight]], such as passing his Quirk on to Mirio ''without warning Mirio or getting his permission first''.

** Many different AUs has Himiko either being redeemed into becoming a hero, or never becoming a villain to begin with. This includes "Future Toga" where she accidentally puts herself through a redemption arc and "Manager Toga" where the inciting incident that led her to becoming a villain never happens.

** "Expelled" has Aizawa [[ForWantOfANail learn about Izuku's 'late bloomer' status]] during the Quirk Assessment Test and ''immediately'' boot him out of 1-A, wanting him to train his Quirk in the relative safety of Gen Ed. He [[PoorCommunicationKills refuses to explain his motives]]; as a result, Izuku assumes he's yet more proof that [[AdultsAreUseless teachers can't be trusted]], none of the remaining students in 1-A trust him, and Katsuki takes the expulsion as proof that he was ''right'' to treat Izuku like shit and becomes even nastier as a result.

* SuccessAsRevenge: By proxy in the "Future Toga" [=AU=]. Nedzu and Vlad King both mess with the Toga parents who are in jail for their abuse of Himiko by showing them how well she is doing at UA with friends, becoming a hero with the Quirk they decried as villainous, and marrying her crushes, all without Himiko knowing about what they are doing, or that her parents are in jail to begin with.

** "Mirage": All Might give Camie One for All.

* TheBadGuyWins: "Paradise of the Strong" is built around the premise that the Meta Liberation Army successfully conquers Japan forty year before canon.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The "Future Toga" AU essentially boils down to Himiko ''accidentally'' putting herself through a redemption arc through her efforts to get closer to Izuku and Ochako. Such as bringing about the downfall of the MLA through a hastily-penned book report.

** "Cousin Kota" males Kota related to the Midoriyas.

* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: "Blaze of Glory" makes Moe Kamiji a trans woman instead of being a cisgender woman.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: "Failed Foresight" has Nighteye ending up with One For All after Toshinori dies in his battle with AFO. He proceeds to repeatedly make things worse due to his [[FatalFlaw critical lack of foresight]], such as passing his Quirk on to Mirio ''without warning Mirio or getting his permission first''.

** "Psychic Strongpile": Izuku is a psychic whose powers gradually build up over time.

** The "Expelled" and "Double Expulsion" [=AUs=], along with their variants, have Aizawa follow through on his threat to expel Midoriya, with "Double Expulsion" having him also kick out Bakugou [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished for trying to defend him]]. This inevitably costs him the respect of all his remaining students and leads to him suffering various consequences.

** LivingWellIsTheBestRevenge: By proxy in the "Future Toga" [=AU=]. Nedzu and Vlad King both mess with the Toga parents who are in jail for their abuse of Himiko by showing them how well she is doing at UA with friends, becoming a hero with the Quirk they decried as villainous, and marrying her crushes, all without Himiko knowing about what they are doing, or that her parents are in jail to begin with.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Katsuki frequently has to deal with his KarmaHoudiniWarranty running out and facing actual consequences for his behavior. This often applies to Aizawa and Sir Nighteye as well.

* ButtMonkey: Aizawa, Overhaul, and ''especially'' Nighteye tend to get dunked on in their AU's.

* {{Crossover}}: A few of their AU's combine the setting of My Hero Academia with other franchises, whether that be through certain elements from one series or combining the two settings.

** Heroes May Cry: Izuku is a grandson of Sparda from Inko's side, bringing him into the world of Devil Hunters and incursions labeled as "extraterrestrial", disgusting the fact that demons exist.
