* Crossover With: Manga/TokyoGhoul
* Synopsis: All men are not created equal. In a world where eighty percent of the population has superpowers - quirks - the twenty percent without might as well be considered disabled. Those who can't lift cars, or fly, or breathe fire, or walk on water are the minority, and if not harassed or put down for their inability then they're to be - even worse - pitied. Midoriya Izuku, however, has learned there are worse things than being born quirkless.

Without an ID, lacking any money to feed his newly adopted child, and still determined to be a hero, Yuuto launches an exciting vigilante career stealing from organized crime. He makes one mistake: he assumes everyone from his past would have died of old age by now, including his older brother. So he doesn’t try particularly hard to hide his identity…or Izuku’s.\\

* Synopsis: When Midoriya Izuku is 13 years old, he is kidnapped on his way home from school by a villain. One year later he is found and returned home with some scars, no memories of the events he went through, and a latent fire quirk. Izuku has to live a double life if he and his loved ones are to survive, even if that means lying to everyone and committing deeds that he’s not sure the heroes would forgive him for. He just needs to come up with a plan to defeat one of the most powerful men in the world, maintain both of his covers in the presence of enemies and allies alike, and hopefully not forget the “real” him. Bakugo Katsuki is certain that Izuku has been lying to everyone since the day he had been rescued. And he’s going to figure out his secret.

* Synopsis: Magic. It's like entropy--inaccessible energy in a system. To have magic is to break the rules of your universe, and to become a magical girl is to take that power and use it for good. April 10th, Izuku broke the rules of his universe, and now, with the world facing a growing, seemingly undefeatable threat, he and his Handyman get ready for the ride of a lifetime. This story thus details Midoriya Izuku's life as a magical girl in the world of heroes.

* Synopsis: Midoriya Izuku just wants to lead a quiet, peaceful life. This is foiled by the fact that a) he can see spirits\\
b) his good nature demands that he help anyone he sees in trouble, and c) he, by all rights, should not exist. Helping the heroes who have fallen victim to the new quirk-breaking drug is a terrible idea for many reasons, the first and most important being that he hates attention and avoids it like the plague. But he's the only one who can help, so he does.\\
This is, Izuku decides as he breaks in, more trouble than it's worth.

“About time.” Kacchan replies, curiosity clear despite his dismissive tone. “What is it?”\\
“I glow!” Izuku explains with an excited grin.\\
But it's not what he thinks.\\
Because Midoriya Izuku has always dreamed of becoming a hero like All Might.\\

When Izuku fails to meet All Might, and All Might fails to save Izuku, that single instance causes a world-wide revolt where people begin to stop trusting in heroes.

Maybe he's not the brightest bulb in the box and has a bit of a mischevious side to him, but he's still able to make everyone laugh when he shows his brainless side after going over his wattage limit. No matter what, he's one of the closest members of class 1-A.\\
No one would have guessed that it was all a lie. No one would have thought that it was all a con, a front to lower everyone's expectations so that he could carry out what he needed to do.\\

* Synopsis: "There you are, Midoriya Izuku."\\
By all means, it should have been the soft, calm way Kacchan spoke that clued him in. It should be the fact that he had not seen his childhood friend since that horrible night in the mountains where Izuku had been just too weak and slow to reach him in time.\\
But its not.\\
It's how the face and the hair were the same but the person hiding behind his eyes was different. What were once bright, lively eyes full of energy were now alight with something deceptive and sinister and wrong, hiding among familiar ruby red like a snake in the grass. The sight of that angular face, not darkened by its usual frown but smoothed out by eerie, unnatural, uncharacteristic calmness set the hair at the back of his neck on end.\\
Kacchan then smiles. It's a soft grin, as pliant and serene as the look in his eyes. It's the smile of someone who has all the time in the world. Someone who could do anything they wanted and they were confident that the world would bend to their will.\\
It's at that moment that Izuku understands that the person behind those eyes wasn't Kacchan at all.\\

Izuku has to live a double life if he and his loved ones are to survive, even if that means lying to everyone and committing deeds that he’s not sure the heroes would forgive him for. He just needs to come up with a plan to defeat one of the most powerful men in the world, maintain both of his covers in the presence of enemies and allies alike, and hopefully not forget the “real” him.

* Synopsis: Maybe it was All Might's betrayal that finally broke him. Maybe it was the torment from his friends, day in and day out, or the crushing weight of society's collective dismissal of his existence. The reason isn't important anymore- only the consequences. Two years after he and three other students vanished from U.A., Midoriya Izuku is the leader of the fastest-growing group of villains in Japan, and no one is left to stand in his way- no one aside from All Might's successor, the next Symbol of Peace. All orderly systems descend into chaos. No one is immune to entropy, heroes least of all.

But then her son was born and she stepped down to become Hisashi Midoriya's loving wife, Inko Midoriya, giving the boy the home life she felt he needed.\\
Izuku Midoriya grew up truly loved by both of his parents, even though his father never gave him a quirk and he wasn't the heir to the Family Business. Desperate to prove his worth, he decided that he would convince his father to allow him to help in the family objective: to reveal the true colors of Hero Society to the world-- one way or another.\\
But then he meets All Might and his childhood reality starts to fall apart.

Now a teenager and looking to enter U.A, he finds himself as the protege of All Might and a student of the best heroes in the nation- but there's no running from a part of you, and he's learning the hard way that you have to accept all of yourself to be a real hero.\\
Having been partners in crime with Izuku ever since they were children, Katsuki Bakugo is more than a little surprised when his timid friend makes it into U.A with him. He's knows they're going places with the best heroes in the world to guide them, but Katsuki also knows that his best friend is heading into a world prepared to reject his very being- and he's more than willing to pulverize it. However, Katsuki has his own problem, and he won't be able to blast his way out of this one.\\
As they both struggle to overcome their problems and support their surrogate brothers, Izuku and Katsuki somehow find themselves leading their class into the world of heroes- and desperately trying to protect a little girl called Eri, the first person they saved as a team.

The last thing he expects is to find the boy again in his final year at Yuuei- not just that, but to have him hauled into the middle of a fight by a group of bizarro villains out to smash All Might to bits (or something). Admittedly, it's hard to pay attention to a madman's stupid raving when your childhood friend (not dead. not missing anymore. still useless. still so pathetic. utterly helpless.) stares up at you with eyes that are begging for help.\\
Yuuei hasn't taken his rage or his vulgarity away from him, but it has given him something. Bakugo is a hero. And heroes? They save even the useless ones and save Deku he will. He doesn't have a single plan beyond that moment, doesn't need one.\\
Besides, when it comes right down to it, Deku has all the plans that any of them need.

* Pairing: Midoriya/Ashido
* Comments: A really good read with an interesting take on Cannon with Mina taking a more crucial role and some of the story now being told from her perspective, which means Tooru and Tsuyu are given more focus. This also means that we get to see the Authors interpretation of her family. Highly Recommenced it.

* Synopsis: When everyone starts living under the same roof, it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid certain feelings. Being loved by two people is hard, but "a hero can always get out of a tough situation." When Izuku learns that Tsuyu and Ochako have both fallen in love with him, he will have to search his own feelings and find out... Is there even a way to go about this without anyone getting hurt? Short answer: No. But they'll work it out. OR, Tsuyu and Ochako struggle to cope with their feelings for Izuku, who is completely oblivious. But what will happen when they realize this massive dork has a bigger heart than you'd expect?
* Pairings: Tsuyu/Izuku/Ochako, minor Bakugo/Kirishima

* Status: Ongoing.
* Synopsis: What makes a hero? What makes a villain? Is it their Quirk? Or is it a choice? How will Izuku and his friends move forward when it seems that there is so much against them?
* Comments: Izuku is the son of Sekijirou Kan (better known as Vlad King) and Inko Midoriya, and he has a Quirk, Blood Control, which works on anyone's blood. This causes him to be ostracized from his peers because Bakugou bullies him worse than ever, claiming Blood Control is a villain's Quirk, leaving him with many personal issues. Only one person of his age, Ochako Uraraka, has ever believed in him, and by the time he applies for U.A. he has not seen her in more on a decade, but still he is impulsed by his promise to become a hero - only to meet Ochako, now a beautiful girl with a succubus Quirk, ready to follow her own promise to become a hero and the memory of the one boy that ever believed in her in her mind.
** Stories with Quirk!Izuku are many. Stories where he meets Ochako before going to U.A., not so many. Stories where Ochako's Quirk is not Zero Gravity, few. Having Himiko Toga as not only a hero, but also Ochako's best non-Deku friend? Gimme.

* Pairing: Izuku/Ochako
* Synopsis: When Midoriya Izuku was 4 his quirk finally manifested. The doctor named it psychokinesis, but his friend Bakugou Katsuki called it worthless. For the next 10 years, Izuku would grow up bullied and isolated. Then, when a new student named Uraraka Ochako transfers into his class the last year of jr high, everything changes.
* Comments: Izuku with a Quirk and meeting Ochako earlier than canon might not be the most original of premises, but this story makes up for an almost flawless execution. The story takes its time to build up Izuku and Ochako's friendship, which have a lot of adorable moments together. It also avoids one of the most annoying {{Fandom Specific Plot}} by not only bringing Shinso into the Hero Course ''without'' kicking Mineta out, but the story also makes Shinso actually ''work'' for his spot rather than handing it to him with no string attached. Among other interesting changes, it also features Toga as a hero, done in a way that makes sense while keeping true to her personality so she doesn't feel like an OC in all but name. If you want a good [=IzuOcha=] story that's well written and uses interesting ideas, this fanfic is for you.\\\

Loosely slow-burn since while there's only 5 chapters, the characters are actually going through long periods of time between them so it reads like snapshots.\\\

* Pairing: Izuku/Yaoyorozu/Jiro
* Synopsis: Quirks are inherited from your parents, but they aren't always the same. Izuku Midoriya's inherited a variation of his father's fire breathing that expels not fire, but his own lifeforce - and the versatility of his quirk catches Momo Yaoyorozu's eye. But green-haired boys aren't the only thing rapidly becoming important to her...
* Comments: Slow burn, but it updates regularly (anywhere between once a week and daily, from what I've seen) and with a consistently high quality of writing. Notable for having a natural-feeling progression of friendship to a polyamorous triad, with plenty of fluff along the way. Izuku has an interesting alt!quirk, but it's not the main focus of the fic - in fact, if I have one complaint and the fic, it's that the author touches on a lot of interesting ideas that aren't fully explored because she wants to keep it focused. She seems happy to discuss stuff in comments, though.\\\

It was only after their fight at Ground Beta that every illusion he had about his relationship with Bakugou Katsuki crumbled beneath his feet, leaving only the cold, harsh truth behind: Bakugou may have been his childhood friend first, but he was his bully for much longer. Naturally, everything changed after that. The nickname ‘Kacchan’ became a distant memory, just a reminder of everything that Bakugou had ever done to him, and Izuku was finally ready to move on. He even managed to convince himself that he didn’t care that Bakugou never apologised. That he was fine. And then he got hit by a quirk which bound him to Bakugou, and suddenly things got a whole lot more complicated.

* ''Status'': Dormant; last updated November 2018
* Crossover with: ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' with mentions of ''Manga/XxxHolic''
* Synopsis: Midoriya Izuku is quirkless. This, he knows very well.This is also what he knows:Weekends and vacations are reserved for walking neighbourhood dogs. The elderly are the most powerful people on Earth. Local gods are picky eaters. Trust is a feeble, feeble thing. Magic cards are incredibly difficult to seal, especially when the world thinks you're a vigilante. Heroes are not magicians, but magicians can be heroes. Becoming a cardcaptor-slash-magician wasn't on Izuku's bucket list, but he'll be damned if he doesn't make the best out of it.
* Comments: A vigilante Izuku fic with a dash of Clamp verse magic. Quite a lot of world-building that is done tremendously.

* Synopsis: It all begins when Izuku is four, the same night as the day that his hopes are broken by a doctor with a single word: Quirkless. Now with series of oneshots continuing the Renew-verse!
* Comments: Another crossover fic, where instead of the two universes being melded or with one of the characters being the reincarnation of another character, in this fic Izuku is visited in dreams by Reborn.
** This fic is rather unique due to the non-chronological aspect of the chapters. It might feel a little jumbled, with how the chapters are written out of order, but personally, this troper enjoys the challenge of trying to put together a neat timeline from all the context clues hidden within the chapters. The way that the characters are done well is a big plus!

''Fanfic/OldLightStillSlantsThrough'' by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/nex_et_nox/pseuds/lunarctus lunarctus]]
* Recommended by: transparentanswer
* ''Status'': Dead; last updated November 2018
* Crossover with: ''Manga/Reborn2004''
* Synopsis: "I don’t want to die!" Izuku screams in that underpass, drowning under the sludge villain. "Why don’t you let me help you with that?" says a voice in the back of his head. Izuku doesn't have a Quirk. What he has is good instincts, unexplainable nightmares he can't remember, and a cat named Natsu.
* Comments: An Izuku is Tsuna's reincarnation fic where the Katekyo Hitman Reborn verse is connected to the world of quirks that Boku no Hero Academia takes place in. Explores a lot of the world of quirks where dying will flames grow non-existent.
** It's a little clumsily written at times and is definitely a slow starter, but the author makes it a worthwhile and emotionally investing read by delving deeply into the motivations of its characters. That said, the HappyEndingOverride of ''Manga/Reborn2004'' may turn away some fans of the series.

* Recommended by Space Cowboy
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* Crossover: ''VideoGame/Persona5''
* ''Synopsis'': Izuku Midoriya thought he was down on his luck the day that he was convicted of a crime for trying to save someone. As if being Quirkless wasn't enough, how was he supposed to become a hero with a criminal record? As it turns out, fate had another plan for him.
* ''Comments'': A great meshing of both series that doesn't shy away from Izuku's depression over being punished by an unjust society for doing the right thing, or the very real injustices that can still occur within a world full of heroes. This is a story for fans of both the series as well as the characters involved.

''FanFic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'' by [=FoxOnPie=]
* Recommended by: Reppuzan
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover: ''Franchise/DCComics''
* Synopsis: Izuku Midoriya is Quirkless, but that doesn't mean he isn't without powers. In fact, he has ''many'' powers in a world where Quirks, magic, metahumans, and aliens collide. The catch? He doesn't want to be a hero.
* Comments: A story in which Izuku is the Kryptonian WonderChild of a childless Inko and Hisashi Midoriya. In a world where well-loved Franchise/DCComics characters like ComicBook/MartianManhunter and the [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Green Lanterns]] are already in full force, the author takes a mindful look into what Izuku would be like as a budding ComicBook/{{Superman}} in the making.\\\

* Comments: The Nana in mention isn't the same Nana Sawada that is Tsuna's mother. In which Izuku is Tsuna's great-grandchild. Showing the adverse effect of Tsuna joining the Mafia unwillingly which led to Vongola's eventual downfall by the time Boku no Hero Academia starts.

What he is not, however, is the avatar. Todoroki Shouto is not someone — something — that is supposed to exist. [the ten times Todoroki Shouto, crown prince of the Fire Nation encounters the Avatar.]
* Comments: An ''incredible'' blend (more fusion than crossover) where the various [=MHA=] characters replace the [=A:TLA=] characters' positions - such as Shouto in place of Zuko, Izuku for Aang, Endeavor as Ozai, and so forth - and goes on with its own take of [=A:TLA=] without losing too much. Primarily seen told through Shouto's perspective on pursuing Izuku, one would think that Shouto being both a Firebender and a Waterbender would've made this fusion difficult to read, but the trials Shouto has to go through, much like Zuko, shows that it's not an easy path. Told in more of snippets fashion, it's best to have knowledge of how [=A:TLA=] occurs.\\\

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12946556/1/Puerum-Magi-Izuku-Midoriya Puerum Magi: Izuku Midoriya]]'' by Mapleseruhp
* Recommended by: kirakirasunshine
* Status: Dormant; last updated June 2018
* Crossover: ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''
* Synopsis: All-might does not save Izuku from the sludge villain that day after school. Instead, Kyubey saved Deku by offering him a wish in exchange for becoming a magical boy. Able to attend U.A, Deku must disguise his ability as a quirk while balancing his life of fighting witches with training to be a hero.
* Comments: An interesting crossover between two series that similar and yet two different takes on what it means to be a hero. The author shows Izuku's struggles to keep his new abilities as a magical girl(boy) from attracting suspicion while also having to fight witches. While any of the Holy Quintet have yet to appear, the original characters have their own distinguished personalities and are as fleshed out as the canon characters. There is a huge plot point that Madoka is infamous for that happens though and it's recommended to watch up to episode 8 to avoid spoilers.\\\

''Fanfic/TheTickVsMyHeroAcademia'' By [=Bejammin2000=]
* Recommended By: [=FenrirAngerboda=]
* Status: Dormant; last updated September 2020
* Crossover: ''WesternAnimation/TheTick''
* Synopsis: The Call not only knows where Izuku Midoriya Lives, it is willing to send the Tick to Call in a Carry Out Order for a Sandwich Platter of Justice. Now Izuku is on the path to become a hero just like All Might. Except for the minor legal technicality of being a wanted vigilante.
* Comments: A ridiculous crossover based on a ridiculous series, and it works extremely well. The author does a good job capturing the bombastic and hammy nature of the the Tick and merging it in a believable way with the more grounded universe of My Hero Academia. While mostly based on the 1994 cartoon continuity, there are references and characters from the comic, 2001 live-action and Amazon continuities.\\\

* Synopsis: Bilbo Baggins, gentle-hobbit of Hobbiton-Across-the-Water, and Midoriya Izuku, Quirkless kid in a world where most people have superpowers, [[FreakyFridayFlip woke up in each other's figurative shoes]] one fine morning. The two worlds would never be the same.
* Comments: One would never think of mixing these two series, but the author pulls it off with aplomb and excellent prose. So the premise is that every few days, Bilbo and Izuku undergo a FreakyFridayFlip and end up in each other's bodies for a day, and have gotten used to it by the time Izuku applies for U.A. and Gandalf approaches Bilbo for an adventure. The character development is spot on, both series are given equal weight and standing, and it's nice to see Bilbo being both a mentor and friend to Izuku when the boy needs it the most, and Izuku being an inspiration for Bilbo to do good instead of being a ReluctantHero.
** And if nothing else, read it for the awesome hilarity that is [[HeroicBuild swole]] Bilbo Baggins arm-wrestling half the Company to a draw.

* Recommended by magicianofthebirds, thechibidevil
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* Crossover: ''VideoGame/AngelsOfDeath''
* ''Synopsis'': The odyssey of Rachel Gardner, who isn't actually as Quirkless as she once thought and has zero compunctions against using that to get what she wants. Being stuck in Japan is a bit more of a hurdle than a death sentence and a high security institution, but she and Zack have dealt with steeper odds, she's pretty sure. Plus Ultra, as they say.
* ''Comments'': Here, Rachel Gardner’s story takes place in a world of quirks, and the two crossover mediums combine far more seamlessly than you might expect. Having been found by the police, Rachel ends up separated from Zach and stuck in Japan after the events of the game, with no way of contacting him to let him know where she is. Soon, she's applying to U.A. in the hopes that Zach might see her at the Sports Festival and subsequently come for her, and along the way, she interacts with a fair number of the main cast in an entertaining and often heartwarming way. This fanfiction is very well-written, and enough is explained that you don’t need to be an avid fan of the game to understand and enjoy it.

However, Mika's life is saved when All for One forces a quirk upon him; Vampire, which allows him to survive at the cost of drinking other's blood. Mika grows up alongside villains, unceasing in his search for the last member of his family, to save him from the corrupt society of heroes and villains alike.

* Recommended by: [=OtakuEmpress=]
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover with: ''Manga/Reborn2004''
* Synopsis: It supposed to be a joke, a drastic one where Izuku faked following Katchan's advice to take a leapt of faith. Then the fence on rooftop gave up on him, dying with tons of regret awaken the sleeping sky in his soul. Reminding Izuku that he was supposed to be on retirement for life and the next one- which is this one.\\
Unfortunately Hyper Intuition was a bitch to deal with in a world of hero and villain, and he thought he could take advantage of abundant human resource of heroism in this world. You'd think the world don't need more heroes, or a Vongola.
* Comments: If you're a fan of KHR, You're gonna love this! He's not gonna be the same Izuku as the canon, though... He's a bit more cynical and not so eager to become a Pro-Hero, but hey, having the memories of Vongola Primo and Decimo will do that to you... Having the Sky Flames as a "quirk" makes Izuku quite powerful and Hyper Intuition is really useful considering the things he get into so it makes the story much more interesting... A definite must-read!!! (The grammar definitely needs work though... The author needs a beta/proofreader, I hope they get one...)

* Recommended by: [=FoxBluereaver=]

* Crossover with: ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''
* Synopsis: At the end of each school year, U.A. hires a consultant to evaluate the costumes the first year students designed for themselves, to make sure they are both aesthetically appropriate and safe to use. That consultant is Edna Mode.
* ''Comments'': A really hilarious story where Edna Mode comes to U.A. and gives costume advice to Class 1-A. The only downside is how short it is, but her interactions with the characters makes it really funny from beginning to end. For starters, she isn't afraid to call the students out about their questionable choices, like Mineta's oversized diaper, or giving Aoyama her "NO CAPES!" rant by bringing out the long list of heroes who lost their lives because of them. The cherry on top, at the end the story reveals that [[spoiler: she and Principal Nedzu are very good friends]] as the reason why she came to the school. Truly one of the funniest crossovers out there. Also on [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14884895 AO3!]]\\\

''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'' by [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/members/gorilla_fingers.351082/ gorilla_fingers]]
* Recommended by: reppuzan
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover with: ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''
* Synopsis: Izuku Midoriya has wanted to be a Huntsman his whole life, just like his idol, Toshinori Yagi. Sadly, Izuku was born a Moon Child, meaning that his soul was far too weak to ever produce an Aura or a Semblance. But nothing, not even the scorn, ridicule, and broken bones he experienced at Birch Academy, would make him let go of that dream. His determination was answered when a chance encounter led Toshinori to name Izuku his successor. Now en route to Beacon Academy as the newest bearer of the Semblance "One For All", Izuku starts his path towards becoming the world's greatest Huntsman. How does he get there? You decide.
* ''Comments:'' This story is a "Quest Fic", meaning that it combines elements of the tabletop game TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} and role-playing into the narrative. The readers are able to vote in on what happens next as they're placed in Izuku's shoes. The story is always written in the second person no matter whose perspective it's following, but it manages to work regardless. While the story can have some issues with grammar and spelling, it's an exhaustive and well-executed FusionFic of the two series that changes a lot of TheStationsOfTheCanon. The story is also a DoorStopper, with over 270 threadmarked chapters (and counting) allowing with ''hundreds'' of {{Omake}}s written by the author and the story's devoted readers.\\\

* Status: Dormant; last updated December 2017
* Crossover with: ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs''
* Synopsis: A series that merges the settings of ''My Hero Academia'' and ''Bungo Stray Dogs''.
** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11263344 No Save Points]]: Dazai Osamu was fourteen when Mori Ougai became the boss of the Port Mafia. It was unfortunate that they couldn't easily boot out the lone superpowered villain laying low in the area, but they could at least reach a compromise to not interfere with each other's business. Only, Shigaraki Tomura occasionally forgot the memo. (Complete)
** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11289438 The Ghost from Yokohama]]: An apartment near Yuuei was one of the last places in Japan an ex-Port Mafia executive should be at. Good thing Dazai had a squeaky-clean record. After all, he only started having his own legal documents a month ago. (Dormant)
** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12688575 The Currencies of Revolution]]: A mechanical whale crashes into Yokohama's ports one week, and villains infiltrate Yuuei the next. Only few saw the signs of an oncoming storm. (Dormant)
** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12906606 becoming]]: (A sidestory that takes place between ''No Save Points'' and ''Currencies'') There used to be a girl who took the essence of others into herself, copper and velvet ambrosia on her tongue, until she was them and they were wholly hers. That changed when she let the tide sweep her away. (Complete)
* Comments: This series is a fusion fic that basically takes the settings and characters of ''Bungo Stray Dogs'' and puts them in the world of ''My Hero Academia''. Both series work surprisingly well together. For example all BSD characters no longer have supernatural abilities by Quirks, the Port Mafia has ties with All for One, and Shigaraki and Dazai meet not long after Mori became the boss of the Port Mafia. Oh, and Dazai is Aizawa's cousin. A fun series that fans of both series can and will love.\\\

* Crossover with: ''Anime/DragonBallZ''
* Synopsis: Right after he defeats Cell, a wish pulls Son Gohan out of the world he knows and loves against his will, landing him in a different version of Earth that's inhabited by people with strange powers called Quirks. Stranded from his friends and family, and with no feasible way back home, Gohan finds the resolve to make the best out of this predicament, and aspires to become a hero his father would be proud of.
* ''Comments'': This is definitely one of the best crossovers between these two shonen series ever made. Right at the start, we see Gohan visibly saddened by being stranded in a different world and cut off from his family and friends, but that doesn't prevent him from trying to make the best of the situation and try and use his powers to help those in need. Moreover, the story makes good use of a rather underappreciated character in Rikido Sato, who quickly becomes friends with Gohan and gets some nice development early on. While some of the events play out similar to the early chapters of MHA, Gohan's presence is making a rather significant divergence in them, so it doesn't feel like full retrace of canon, and his interactions with the rest of Class 1-A definitely makes for a lot of funny and heartwarming scenes.
* Pairings: Gohan/Momo.\\\

Even if he doesn't belong here, Justice will use this world to finally ascend. With his overwhelming strength and position as NUMBER ONE, he will slaughter the strongest of this world and reach the top. He will become God.
* ''Comments'': Unfortunately there is not a lot of Afro Samurai fanfiction in general. This fic makes you want to cry and demand why. Combining the dark atmosphere and stylish action of Afro Samurai with the fast paced kinetic energy of My Hero Academa makes a story that surprisingly works way too well without either adaptation it's characters are based upon feeling alien or too contrasting. Helps that the main fight scene is described fluidly (hard to do in writing in general) and without giving any spoilers is fucking brutal.

* ''Crossover with:'' ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100''
* ''Synopsis:'' Mob never aimed to be a hero, despite being an apprentice to one. He only wanted to make sure his quirk never hurt anyone ever again. However, an incident that occurs in his third year of middle school spurs him into action despite his wishes. Mob enters into UA academy, the top heroics school in all of Japan, and winds up with several new friends and much more trouble than he bargained for.
* ''Comments'': While joining a hero school may sound OOC for Mob, the way this is handled and how Mob goes about it is very much in character and actually make sense for him. In addition, Mob and his worldview makes for an interesting contrast not just to Midoriya (who he ends up befriending), but to the rest of the world of MHA. While Mob has an incredibly powerful quirk in a world where power means everything, not only is he afraid to use it, but he genuinely believes everyone is an equal, no matter what their power is, something even the other optimistic characters don't always believe in. Highly recommended.\\\

* Synopsis: In a world where everyone is super, Izuku Midoriya was born as a rare outlier without any powers. In spite of that, he never once lost sight of his dream of becoming a Hero. He never lost sight of it, but at the same time, he wished that there was someone in his life who was Quirkless like him and would be able to relate to his struggles. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Enter Haruhi Suzumiya]].
* Pairing: Izuku/Haruhi
* Comments: The author of ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'' is back at it with a new crossover that, while not as epic in scale, seems to be written just as competently. The first chapter, just like the first episode of Haruhi, is a flashforward that shows the reader exactly what they're in for, and the next chapter wastes no time in establishing Izuku's friendship with Haruhi and the effect it'll have on both of them. All in all, this is a story worth keeping an eye on. \\\

* Comments: The mechanics of Hachiman's quirk are extremely interesting, being useless at first but becoming more versatile in a video-game like progression. Hachiman's quirk allows him to copy up to 108 other quirks through contact, but each quirk is only 1/108 times as strong as the original. Furthermore, his internal monologue, his pessimistic view of the world, and his vehement denial that he is heroic in any manner (he applied to the most prestigious school in the country out of petty spite!) all make for an amazing contrast in a world overflowing with boundless optimism.\\\

The only problem is that he is Quirkless. Against his own judgement, he agrees to meet with a young girl who offers to help him become a hero - only to be killed by said girl. Fortunately, he gets revived by the the beautiful Rias Gremory, a devil who happens to be a General Studies student at U.A. High, the foremost Hero School in Japan. Now a devil himself, and armed with a weapon unlike any other, Izuku has to deal with villains from both the human and the supernatural world - as well as the fact that somehow he is acquiring a harem of beautiful girls. That's the hardest part.
* ''Comments'': Izuku pretty much takes Issei's place as the Ultimate Pawn in this FusionFic, armed with the Boosted Gear and having to help Rias in her deals with the supernatural while working to join U.A. as a hero, using his brains to better work everything out. Pity that this doesn't help when it comes down to knowing what to do with all these girls that like to throw themselves at him. Several characters from both stories are merged (for example, Asia Argento and Shiozaki Ibara) to add a new dimension to the story.\\\

But Midoriya left the scene knowing that, even if he couldn't be a hero, he was going to help everyone he could. How was he supposed to help people when he was the weakest person he knew? Sure, he doesn't know anything about working out, but it should be fine. No pain no gain, right? (Within the timelines and divergent storylines, this one ran slightly too close to the truth. Midoriya Izuku was supposed to be the greatest hero of this world, and Fate wasn't going to deny this one. But breaking the rules has a tendency to spiral out of control... Ah, well, what's one more world on the scrap heap to something like Fate...?)

Will he win when his opponents are fate and destiny itself?
* ''Comments'': In addition to Izuku [[CompositeCharacter taking some cues from Sougo, the titular Rider from the show]], due to the nature of the original ''Zi-O'', ''Heisei Hero King'' will feature other characters from ''Franchise/KamenRider'''s Heisei Era (So from [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]] up until [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Build]]). And in my opinion, YMMV depending on your opinions of the 19 entries that came before Zi-O. There’s also an implication that the fic won't just be Zi-O but with Izuku instead of Sougo.

* ''Synopsis'': “Fate” is a concept most people don’t like to think about. They despair at the idea that there exists some mystical force ordering the universe that dictates who succeeds and who fails in life, or that people die young simply because it was meant to be. However, in a world where people are born with quirks, it is possible for people to be born with quirks that can surpass the limits of fate. For example, they can give a quirk to a person who was supposed to be quirkless, or maybe they can bring someone who was meant to die back to life. People with these quirks can make what was previously impossible possible, and are referred to as “Children of Fate”. The only problem is that fate isn't kind to these Children who break the natural order. That being said... this won't stop Izuku, the newly made Prince of the Crystal and owner of the Penguindrum, from becoming not just a hero, but a hero who can change fate.
* ''Comments'': This is an amazing fanfiction that manages to combine a concept from a different anime and make it their own. The Midoriya in this fanfiction is one of my favorite versions of Midoriya, ever. There is no need to watch ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'' before reading this fanfiction, though I highly encourage it if you want to understand some references. If you do read it, prepare for 70+ chapters of fate-speeches, teddy bear robots, characters having existential crises, some angst, and of course, penguins.

In addition, Izuku and Sento's friendship has a natural heartwarming to it, [[spoiler: especially when it was revealed that Sento wanted to make amends for overlooking the bulling Izuku went through in junior high.]] This is one of many fics that fans of both MHA and Kamen Rider will love dearly.\\\

* Synopsis: An AU based on if the Time Commission never existed in the first place and Five instead of time traveling to a apocalypse, teleports 200 years in the future in the middle of the USJ fight. Fast forward to see Five adjusting to his new surrondings while trying to find a way back and gaining two new dads in the process.
* Comments: A fascinating fusion that involves a lot of world building that includes unknown history of the Umbrella Academy being among the first people to be gifted quirks, being heroes and, the mystery of the impact they had in the the modern hero society. Expect a lot of Erasermic and the clashing ideologies between Five and the heroes of the future.

Something changed in the air, like the snap charge of electricity after a thunder strike. No, this was more than that. The world shifted and changed and contorted, the weave of fate was unnaturally pulled by the God Of Control, creating fractals in the flow of time and space.

Joker’s teammates gasped as bizarre, otherworldly doors came into existence.

One, a pair of silver doors with alien markings, cracked open just a hair to reveal a large, terrifying eye. Another, a glowing paper door that would be at home in any vintage Japanese mansion. The third, a grand golden gate decorated with eyes and horned demons, bubbling black sludge dripped from its maw like tar. The final one was a fluctuating cloud of purple and black mist.\\\

* Recommended by @/CoreyGriffindor
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover with: ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''
* Pairings: Izuku Midoriya/Ochako Uraraka, Sora/Momo Yaoyorozu, Riku/Kyoka Jiro
* Synopsis: "There's no such thing as a quirkless hero" That is what people kept telling to Izuku Midoriya through all of his life. He understood it, even now that he was bestowed with All Might's quirk. However he kept wondering if it was possible if not here maybe somewhere else. He was about to find out when he enters UA academy and meet two interesting boys. Life's about to change forever.
* Comments: Takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts III after Sora uses the Power of Waking to save Kairi, he is separated from his worldline and ends up in the MHA worldline with Riku deciding to use the Power of Waking as well to find Sora. A great fusion of both series while it does follow the MHA story it still has that Kingdom Hearts blend that works incredibly well. Story was published before the release of ''Re:Mind'' and ''Melody of Memory''.

* Crossover with: ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica''
* Synopsis: "Izuku Midoriya worked hard to become a symbol of hope for the Quirk users of his time, fighting against a government that saw his family as little more than criminals. Now, he awakens to a time not his own, a dazed and confused 15-year-old boy in a world that no longer needs him. All Might knew he needed to find a successor. He just wasn’t expecting said successor to bang him in the head with a shield that belonged in their world’s history museum. All for One just wants his son back."
* Comments: holy mother of mercy this is amazing, seriously. You've got Izuku as a Japanese version of Captain America called 'Captain Kamino' complete with a quirk based super soldier serum, a vibranium shield, and two hundred years trapped in ice who, instead of fighting Nazis in World War Two, was a freedom fighter for the rights of quirk users when they first appeared on the scene in Japan and went down in history as one of the first quirk superheroes. Oh and did I mention he's All for One's son? Trust me, this fic is an awesome crossover AU that you won't regret giving a chance.

* Recommended by [=Shadeblade96=]
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover with: ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}''
* Pairings: Izuku/Tsuyu, Inko/Gang Orca
* Synopsis: There are thousands of strings, little lines of red yarn stretching from countless windows and mirrors, each one showing a different take on a world. From one green haired boy's journey to become the greatest hero, thousands of stories began. Sometimes the greatest moments in history can be traced back to single points in time. Just one difference in the events, and the timeline drastically diverges, like a butterfly flapping its wings...\\
Midoriya Izuku was born with a quirk. It appears to be a mutation, sporting black ridged armor plates along his arms, shoulders, and back, plus sharp claws and a thick tail. Strange cravings and an enormous appetite lead to a childhood incident, forever marking him as a monstrous villain to his once childhood friend.\\
Resolute in his desire to become a hero no matter what, an unexpected encounter with a black and white pro might give Izuku the chance he needs to prove, to the world and himself:\\
Monsters can be heroes too.
* Comments: Honestly, I missed that this was a crossover at all until I glanced at the tags again when I was halfway through catching up; the material from ''Evolve'' is integrated so well that it feels almost completely organic. Izuku's quirk gives us a cool concept for his powers and highlights the stigma he and other mutation-types face (which is even more pronounced here for plot reasons), and having Gang Orca as his mentor who's been through the same thing is a great turn for both characters. Izuku's developing relationship with Tsuyu is adorable, too. Cannot recommended this enough.

From Izuku meeting with the Mad Dog of Shimano himself, adopting some of his personality when meeting with Bakugo and everything in between just made this all kinds of enjoyable.\\\

* Comments: A pretty good fic that provides a unique blend of the world of Pokémon and My Hero Academia. Bakugo's bullying of Midoirya is furthered explored, the fact that the MHA cast have Pokémon provides a new and unique spin on the tale, and there's a unique OC based on Serena. Plus it's a Deku x Harem fic. Gotta love those! (Not much of a comment, I know. I suck at this kind of thing.)

Katsuki's taunts push Izuku past a point of no return, only for Izuku to return, again and again and again. At first resistant to become close to Izuku, over time their bond pulls them inexorably closer together until they crash into each other and hurtle through their lives with enough force to change all those that surround them. Caught in the machinations of forces both seen and unseen, they twist and strain and contort themselves in an effort to stay joined, stay together. But the truth of their relationship is obvious by now; near or far, together or apart, they circle each other as two stars locked in each other's gravitational pull. Their lives and their futures plummet toward each other, unrelenting and unstoppable.\\
But so long as they can trust each other, they just might survive the fall.

* Synopsis:
** '''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/8578729 Canvas]]''': It wasn't the cold or the bright light bleeding through his eyelids that finally woke Toshinori. It was the smell. Sickly and sterile and metallic with an undercurrent of latex. He could never forget the smell of a hospital. He was on his knees, hunched forward and chained to the wall. All for One chuckled, "I will remake you. Noumu." '''(Complete)'''
** '''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/8579125 Catalyst]]''': Escape is only the beginning. It's time to heal and deal with the long term side effects. All Might brushed his palms over the red rings left on his wrists. He closed his eyes, sighing deeply, and a small smile lingered on his face. He looked… exhausted and worn down to the bone, but he smiled warmly. The smile said it all. I'm here. '''(Complete)'''
** '''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/9347441 Control]]''': Toshinori shrugged on his new shirt, giving it a last small tug and rolling up the long sleeves with a smile. "Not too bad," he muttered absently, brushing non-existent wrinkles from his shirt and gray pants. His tail swung behind him in his reflection. A small, nervous flutter twisted in his gut. Smile, he reminded himself, It'll be fine. '''(Complete)'''
** '''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/10900884 Collapse]]''': "And you say that All for One - 'Sensei' - didn't do that with Yagi?" Naomasa asked. Sato shook his head, "It… It was probably a very close thing, but he escaped. We escaped. Sensei didn't get him to obey. As long as he didn't obey a direct command while still mentally vulnerable, he wouldn't have imprinted on anyone..." '''(Complete)'''
** '''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16043477 Contained]]''': Naomasa huffed a soft laugh and pat Toshinori’s shoulder.“Welcome back, All Might.” '''(Dead)''' [[note]]last updated July 2019[[/note]]

* Synopsis: "Deku" is a hero whose strength seems limitless, with a quirk to topple mountains and the most powerful of foes. He is a symbol of peace, and carries the wishes of lost friends and the legacy of a past mentor on his shoulders. But Midoriya Izuku is also a quirkless boy of eleven years, with the name "Deku" being nothing more than a juvenile insult. Time and place don’t really matter though—because regardless of what he appears to be, he knows exactly what he fights for.

The second was that some people were born into this world lucky and others were born into it unlucky. The third thing was that he was one of those born unlucky. It would be hard not to be, considering his quirk was a Jinx. After certain misfortunes befall him that leave him unwilling to deal with his quirk any longer, Izuku was pushed over the edge. Only for another boy with a different "villain quirk" to pull him back over. Together, the both of them move forward trying to prove to the society that not everything painted in a dark light is bad.
The real question is whether or not Izuku can prove that to himself first.

* Synopsis: Some people say that fate is an illusion, and destiny is whatever you make of it. Midoriya Izuku would like to punch those people in the face. Blessed--or cursed--by a quirk that he doesn't understand, Midoriya must discover the path to a destiny he knows nothing about through trial and error. He just wishes he didn't have to die so often in the process.
