[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15966929/chapters/37241390 Deku the Villain Hunter: Support Hero]] is a ForWantOfANail story by [=NickTheHuman=] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Eri tries to use her Quirk to regrow Mirio's arm after Overhaul destroy it. However, she loses control and erase the student.]]

* AffectionateNickname: Mei calls Izuku Deku... that' it, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Deku Shrub]] due to his hair. Since the last person to call him Deku was Bakugo ( and he sure as hell didn't mean it affectionally ) he takes a little to get used to it.

--> "One way or another, I'm making babies tonight!"

* BabiesEverAfter: In the epilogue it's revealed that [[spoiler: Hatsume is pregnant]].

-->'''Hatsume(about Endeavor):''' "...and if he tries to HORNSWOGGLE his way out OF MY EXCELLENT AND MODERATELY PRICED QUALITY GOODS, THIS SCREWDRIVER WILL GO RIGHT UP HIS ASS!"
** Izuku when he learns Todoroki is only using half his power at the sports festival gives him a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown no-holds-barred-beatdown]].
-->""I WENT MY WHOLE LIFE WANTING TO BE A HERO!" Midoriya screamed, abandoning his weaponry and slugging Todoroki across the jaw. "BUT I'M JUST SOME QUIRKLESS WANNABE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME WOULD KILL TO BE AS STRONG AS YOU?!""

** [[SerialKiller Stain]] is Izuku's next target after [[spoiler: killing Tenya Iida and is so dangerous that it takes the combined efforts of Izuku and Mei [[PragmaticHero fighting dirty]] to defeat him]].
** [[spoiler: [[FallenHero Todoroki]] who kills All Might]] and is the first hero to actively hunt the villain hunter down.

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: After Izuku refuses One For All, [[spoiler: he ends up having to take it anyway after Mirio is erased by Eri]].
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Mirio ends up erased from existence thanks to [[AccidentalMurder Eri's Quirk going haywire]]]].

* ForWantOfANail: This entire fic starts out with [[TheRival Bakugou]] dying and Midoriya dealing with the repercussions. Of course, there's going to be differences.
** First of all, because Midoriya never went back to the Sludge Villain fight, All Might never gets his HeroicSecondWind and as such Bakugou dies and the Sludge Villain gets away. This in turn motivates Midoriya to become a vigilante and use the Support Course to help him be able to defeat the Sludge Villain.
** All Might doesn't give Midoriya One For All and thanks to Power Loader becoming his mentor, Midoriya becomes more interested in the Support Course. He doesn't join Class 1-A and neither does Bakugou (for obvious reasons) which leads to the class not having the two motivating forces that they did in canon. As such a good portion of the class fails to get their provisional licences.
** Because Midoriya did not enter the Entrance Exam, he does not gain Iida's respect nor does he befriend him or Uraraka. While Midoriya does eventually befriend them later on, their relationship is not as close as it was in the Sports Festival so he doesn't know anything is wrong when Tensei gets injured and thus [[spoiler: does not search for Iida in Hosu, which allows Stain to kill him]].
** Midoriya never tries to help Todoroki, nor does he befriend him meaning that Todoroki doesn't help him when they fight against Stain. Because Midoriya forced Todoroki to use his fire, people started comparing Todoroki to [[AbusiveParents his father]]. His response to this caused the resentment to pile up culminating in him [[spoiler: [[FaceHeelTurn join the League of Villains in an attempt to spite Endeavor]], which leads to him killing All Might and getting thrown in prison when Midoriya and Hatsume defeat him]].

* MissingMom: Mei' s mother died of illness. This caused his father to feel into depression, alcholism and lose his love for inventing. It's the reason Hatsume is initially so against a relationship with Izuku, who is living a dangerous life as a vigilante.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Izuku is offered One For All along with Mirio [[spoiler:after All Might dies. He turns it down to as he enjoys building and using tech to fight crime as a vigilante.]]

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Tsuyu, Tokoyami, and Mei all know Izuku is a vigilante using tech to fight crime.]]
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: Despite coming second place in the Sport Festival, Izuku doesn't receive the chance to go into the Hero Course: as All Might says, that's to help students perfect their Quirks, and they wouldn't now what to do with a Quirkless boy who needs gadgets.

* {{Yandere}}: Toga is one like in canon, obsessed with Midoriya and making him her boyfriend.

** Izuku when he learns Todoroki is only using half his power at the sports festival gives him a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]].

* RealityEnsues: It's previously noted that Tsuyu doesn't have any romantic interest in Tokoyami so when they get together just because they were in a perilous situation together, it was bound to fizzle out.
** Despite coming second place in the Sport Festival, Izuku doesn't receive the chance to go into the Hero Course: as All Might says, that's to help students perfect their Quirks, and they wouldn't now what to do with a Quirkless boy who needs gadgets.
