- Synopsis: You wake up at UA, the highest ranked hero school in the country, with no recollection of how you got there. Unfortunately, those aren't the only memories you're missing. Still, you can't let a little amnesia get in the way of you warning the school about the attack you know will happen during Class 1-A's field trip to the USJ. After you deliver your warning, you're beyond shocked when the principal offers you a position as a TA for Class 1-A. You accept the position in hopes that you'll be able to use your Quirk to help protect the students. It'll be far from easy, but you're determined to do whatever it takes to change the students' future for the better.

- What Can Make A Hero? by SpiritOfTheShadows
- Recommended by: ThisIsRidiculous
- Status: Dead note
- Synopsis: Unlike what the anime shows you, not all things about the world changed by the advent of superpowers, known as quirks, had been so pure and without difficulty. Even with the heroes policing the streets and policies that moderate quirk usage, things fall through the cracks. There is a struggle behind every smile. Pain behind every laugh. Becoming a saviour is not easy as it often seems and......not every hero is born equal. An exploration into the ethics and development of quirks.

- Synospsis: Era doesn't have high hopes for her future. Truthfully, up until a few months ago there hasn't been a future; just the blurry promise of suffering to come. The journey from villain to ex-villain to vigilante has been... rough, to put it mildly. But Era can handle it. The journey from vigilante to hero-in-training? That, she has less of a grasp on. Era doesn't consider herself to be optimistic, but she is confident in her skills and her quirk, sure that her training will carry her through anything UA has to throw at her, and that in turn UA will keep her protected from the shadowy figures of her past, the threat that lurks in the corner of her eye.
If only heroes weren't so god damned nosy, stubborn, persistent. If only she could remember to keep her useless emotions in check, avoid any unnecessary attachment, save herself and others from future pain. If only her quirk would just let her die. Funny, how that would make things so much simpler. - Tags: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, tragic backstory, Torture, Parental Aizawa Shouta|Eraserhead, Healing Quirk, angst, Self-Harm, Child Soldiers, Hurt/Comfort, Alternate Universe - Mineta Minoru Doesn't Exist, Mineta Minoru is Expelled from U.A.

- Synopsis: If that was a normal fanfiction, she would have been reincarnated fifteen years before the beginning of the Plot, so she could join class 1-A (hopefully taking Mineta Minoru’s spot) and save the world side by side with her friends. She would have been on the Good Guys’ side from birth, because everyone loved heroes and every child aspired to be one. Right? Well, someone in the Reincarnation’s Administration must have screwed up. Because not only was she born a good seven years in advance, but she had been reincarnated in a family with enough issues to put the Todoroki to shame. But hey, she could teleport. She wasn't exactly going to complain about it, right?
- Summary : follows the story of Toki Taiyōme, an OC SI born a few years before class 1-A, from her childhood in a family of villains to her path towards heroism. Worldbuilding, adventure, action, emotion, friendship. The HPSC is shady but firmly on the good guys' side.

- Sypnosis: being reborn into a world of quirks wasn't really what she was expecting, but hey, might as well help these characters have better endings. Although that goal might be a bit hard to achieve when you get kidnapped atleast 3 times by the villains you accidentally make meaningful connections with. But hey, the simp in you is thriving, and you get a little sister that judges the way you're thirsting over your sleep-deprived hobo of a teacher. Well, I guess it's time to change history.
- Summary: a girl gets reincarnated into the world of my hero academia, an Anime she's seen before. Follow her as she tries to make changes, simps to her hearts content, collect some trauma and acquire her own simps left and right.
