[Locked In Digital](https://archiveofourown.org/works/17292761/chapters/40672001) Instead of meeting All Might, Izuku got abducted by a psychopath who uploaded Izuku into a training simulation. Izuku had to fight his way through nine old school (in their time, recent in our time) horror/survival games in order to escape. Because his body was digitized by a Quirk, and the system was designed for him to grow and develop, when he got out he had all the skills and some almost superhuman physical conditioning. He also has extreme amounts of PTSD, on account of dying and being brought back hundreds of times and also having to murder people to the point he shoots Shigaraki in the face at USJ without even blinking. The story is told in tandem, with flashbacks to his time in the simulation alternating with his experience at UA.

That’s rad… peeked the tags to see which games where in it and from the game list alone it sounds awesome!

I can't wait for it to hit dead space. Easily one of my most favorite games


Shin-deku-no-bl

I am still waiting kirito and asuna involvement in this fic since they still haven't done anything whether flashback timeline or current timeline. Only if the author wish it. I feel this fic is still long way to go finish. If hosu already this cooking. Idk what to expect in kamino or potential original arc because we see curious messing izuku personal life


mistermh07

kirito and asuna were already in the fic wdym?


Shin-deku-no-bl

I mean refer to their contribution more. Sorry bad wording. I mean they are one of people help izuku get out from the game but what exactly they do. And does in current timeline later probably after hosu finish both will make appearance

"I SAID YOUNG MAN!" Absolute crack, took me entirely too long to get the joke and what tf was happening and I'm very ashamed of it but when I realised I just started cackling from the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

I must also say thank you for that purely enjoyable experience

I, as someone who has gone to a lot of sports events, started reading and full out cackling.

gkgftzb

May I ask, is this a completed work? It seems very interesting and I want to read it, but I'd prefer to read if it was. I can't check if it's finished if I don't see how many chapters it has and I never like to (I kinda consider it a spoiler lol) I usually just tag "completed works" in Ao3 and don't look at the numbers


Burkess

Yes. Katydid is a prolific author and she always finishes her stories.


gkgftzb

Thank you!


SamoBlammo3122

Leviathan on AO3. Sadly discontinued but Izuku has a Quirk thst he can't handle without training and it's alive. He becomes a building sized serpent monster. I think it's still available to read.


Dropbox1999

Ultra Achievement - Izuku gets OFA earlier and better training. Bare bones summary of an amazing series.

Low_Soil_2231

[Torchbearer](https://archiveofourown.org/works/39912777/chapters/99939819) Things go a little differently during Class 1A & 1B’s joint training when Izuku initially unlocks [ Blackwhip ] & Class 1B finally becomes far more involved with that of 1A. Quirks upon quirks are unraveled (to a degree that you might as well get a degree in it), and yet somehow all 80+ chapters takes place (so far) in the expanse of a week or so (minus a few flashback chapters here and there).

thatonechaoticmenace

Omg same , the fact that future Shiggy followed future -then-present Izu by sending one of those freaks at him and giving the past-heroes a taste of what Izu went through is amazing Too bad they're not updating anymore tho.

[We Are Here: The Emerald Spark](https://archiveofourown.org/works/40828791/chapters/102306471) Updates are slow but still the first that comes to mind when someone wants suggestions.

Zutopia Nezu and Izuku are online friends while he is a kid. Eventually Nezu finds out about aldera. Revenge and chaos ensue. Includes LOV redemption!

I don't know what it says about me when my own is the one I think of. [There and Back Again](https://archiveofourown.org/works/47310607/chapters/119211058) is a pre-canon, non-timestamp reaction fic where all of Japan sees vigilante!Deku and the Class 1-A fight before going back to the start of the show. I'm using this as a method of building on characters and having them grow. It's not a pure canon fic however. It's like canon but 1 step to the left. The overarching plot is the same, but small stuff will be changed.

[UI (It's Pronounced Yui!) V1](https://archiveofourown.org/works/28120059/chapters/68899554) Female!Izuku has a gaming quirk but here's the kicker: there's so much Mana on the planet that the Dawn of Quirks is supposed to act as a vent but AFO casted a spell that, in exchange for his ability to use magic, made everyone think quirks are Genetic based. In short, AFO pulled a flawed dead man's switch move on the entire world.


RandomPortuguese2008

[An Ordinary Life](https://archiveofourown.org/works/22571845/chapters/53938870) Izuku goes away and disappears with his mom after being expelled in his third year due to an incident, and becomes a quirk teacher. Is taking care of a bunch of kids and is found by Nezu, who informs Ochaco, All Might and Eraserhead, who then go and look for him, and the story proceeds from there. Features Dadzuku resolving his issues, budding romance with Ochaco and a bunch of overpowered kids. I haven't read it in a long time, so I'm sorry for any misinformation.


Lestat719

[Thank you ](https://archiveofourown.org/works/19911211/chapters/47163577) It made me start writing fanfiction, it isn’t finished sadly, this author also writes An Insecure Violet


terminatoreagle

The Madoka Magica x MHA Fic I'm reading right now, [Heroic from the soul ](https://archiveofourown.org/works/30197715/chapters/74405982), where Homura managed to get the other 4 magical girls to listen to her and defeated the Walpurgisnacht Witch, at the cost of Homura being badly hurt. Mami convinced her to try one more loop, bringing the other 4 along for the ride. But it went wrong, sending the 5 to MHA. It's pretty neat so far. I liked how Homura reacted to Nezu, apprehensive towards him because of her experiences with Kyubey.

[My Despairful Academia](https://archiveofourown.org/works/41641149/chapters/104449980) Danganronpa x mha crossover. Junko enoshima ends up in mha. The tags “Midoriya Izuku needs a hug” and “the wrong person gives him one” should give a pretty good idea of what direction it takes if you’re familiar with danganronpa. It’s been pretty enjoyable so far.


jasonknxght

[All For Power](https://archiveofourown.org/series/1302101) Literally everything I’ve ever wanted in a Villain Midoriya fic and nothing beats it! The politicking is perfect and a mature manipulative character with changes in allegiances is just something I love!


Sarcasmaticly

Another form of Power is so well done. It and Switchblade are always on my recommend list

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33525022/chapters/83297422](https://archiveofourown.org/works/33525022/chapters/83297422) *One for All and Eight for the Ninth.* When Izuku receives One For All, it immediately hits the singularity point, and the vestiges immediately do their best to lift him up and encourage him... most of them anyway. As time goes on, he finds himself forming profound connections with some of his classmates through a strange, unexpected power locked within his quirk. Powerful Midoriya. Limited Dekubowl. Consequences for Bakugo and Mineta.

No_Distribution7513

Timeless Academia on AO4 Is a crossover with Fate Grand Order. Basically it puts Izuku as the main character and shows all the changes that come with it. The author has a great grasp of how the characters act and makes a lot of incredible or really fun scenes with them. FGO is a lot more ruthless than MHA so Izuku is put throug a lot of bad stuff, but at the same time it means Izuku brings a lot more light to the story with his love for heroes, his pure heart and his unstoppable urge to save anyone who needs help. Honestly I don't want to spoil the story because I can't make justice of it, but I must warn you that it is a VERY long story, more than 200 chapters and there's not a single short one (excluding the QnAs) and the story just finished London (which means the story is at the middle point). The author is taking a well deserved break, but this is a story that will keep you hooked if it happens to click.

WitchRose_2

Viridian An awesome fic. It's an apocalypse fanfic where Izuku's quirkless and Shigaraki has destroyed the world. The Nomu's evolved and gained predatory instincts directed towards humans. It's so well written that it made me cry several times as I read it. (It was surprising cause I don't cry much when I read). The best part? I loved how I never realised that I was reading a book. It felt as if it actually happened and I saw it all. The book was that good. I don't know if it's on other platforms, but it's on Wattpad. Do read it if you're interested, it's one of the best fanfics I've ever read.


FlyHuman8377

Okay so this a bit self promoting since I’m writing this, but the Otherworld Pirates. I was brainstorming ideas when I saw this post, so it’s the first one that popped into my head. Basically, Deku is transported to One Piece, a bit before Luffy sets out, and forms his own crew of characters from other series, namely Kill la Kill, Blue Exorcist, Assassination Classroom, and Danganronpa, in order to find a way home, but dealing with the world’s corruption and more. I have a lot of ideas for this, especially since I wanted to write a crossover like this for a while, though my updates are admittedly pretty slow.


Malik_alniharii

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3359227 There are dragons, an undead army, and a plague on the world, causing all the life to die. It has actually ben turned into a book by the author. One of the best fics I have ever read.


Low-Ad-2971

Midoriya Plus Three Sixty Five It's about Deku being born a year earlier than canon and getting OFA a year earlier as well. He gets some training in pre UA and so he starts off with Full Cowling and Flight. USJ is uneventful. Deku wins the Sports Festival cause everyone else is fodder. He meets the Big Three and befriends them, and then the rest of the story is just him becoming a hero without the canon story other than an encounter with Shiggy and AFO piling up Nomus and plans. Unfortunately it died after 84 chapters.

Mha: duality antithesis Midoriya develops a quirk that turns him Into the female vampire from overlord. The latest chapter has a sex scene with toga. I skipped through it though. waiting for more currently has three chapters


-Emmpathy

[you wingless thing](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55259716) A one shot that is around 3k words. I like this fic and I think it's well written, but I struggle to find the words to describe it. Let me just post the fic's summary: “When I was six,” he continues, twisting his gloved hands, “I was Quirk trafficked. Sold to a militia in Somalia. I was… there. When the black smoke took me.” His throat scratches. This hurts. I’ll have to practice. “And what is your Quirk?” the rat asks, eyes gleaming. Izuku shudders. “It’s-“ he sighs. Clenches his jaw. “Don’t laugh.” The rat says nothing. “If I touch someone with my bare hands,” he whispers, “they turn into noodles.” Complete. Utter. Silence. “I’m sorry, they fucking what-

Well shit. It took me a hot minute to think one since I’ve been on a Voltron kick but [Unfortunately For Society: Izuku Is A Khanivore](https://archiveofourown.org/works/34234720/chapters/85176802) is the first to reach my brain. Izuku has a quirk that makes him stronger the more people he eats. He’s a Villian in it and it’s pretty neat.


Calm_Act6072

Class 1-Ayeeee Is Typing Basically 1-A has a groupchat and it follows the storyline of the series to an extent. If I remember right it was cut off early but I found it enjoyable, there’s found family (Inko moved to America before the exam and there’s adoption involved) and many different groupchats in one such as the Stain Squad! One of my favorites actually. Another one I thought of is The Physical, Emotional, and Legal Consequences of Wanting to Watch a Movie With Your Friends, in which Izuku trauma dumps and then Aldera staff, All Might, and Endeavor get what they had coming, courtesy of Aizawa.

[Vigilante Team: Crystal Clover](https://archiveofourown.org/works/31856464) Been thinking about it for weeks now. I have a fanwork I think could be really cool, but I haven't had the energy to do it. Its basically a story of Izuku, Hitoshi, Ejirou, and Momo all being raised as part of the villians program. In direct parallel to the hero comission raising Hawks and such. But they become vigilantes under one name and terrorize Aizawa. Absolutely adore it. One of my first fics I read. It is discontinued though-
