Summary
Izuku learned at a very young age that love is conditional. Love is a reward for following the rules, love is reserved for those who are worthy of it, for those who are loveable.
Izuku was not loveable, well at least not according to anyone he'd ever met.
All he ever wanted to do was help people, to be someone worthy of loving but at 12 years old he's left with nothing and no one. Living on the streets he has to make his own way in life and maybe help some of the people in this community he's found himself in.
Follow his journey as Izuku skirts the line of the law saving people and maybe even finding someone who thinks he's worth loving. -

Summary
“No, I don’t think you can be a hero without a quirk.”
But All Might was wrong. They may not be called heroes, but quirkless individuals can fight crime as long as they have a license. A Crime Fighters license.
It might have just been easier to try to get into hero school.

Summary
Summary:
“Hey!” Izuku calls, but the man doesn’t turn around. Annoyed, Izuku reaches the man, spinning him around by the shoulder. “What happened? Why aren't you with your team?” He asks, looking the man up and down. He seems fine. The man scowls in confusion, red eyes glaring.
“Hah? The fuck you talking about,” he says, using his height to lean over Izuku. But this is all a terrible mistake on his part. Izuku is in disaster management mode, and he will take no bullshit.
“Do not speak to me like that,” he says, voice deep and low. The man flinches back in shock, but Izuku is already moving on. “Management radioing, who’s in need of assistance? Over and out.”
If this man has time to come all the way to the front and be an ass, then he has the free time to help out with any team in need, Izuku angrily reasons.
Or, Izuku is a disaster management specialist and one day accidentally mistakes Pro-Hero Ground Zero for one of his team members, thus sparking their friendship.

Summary
After an accident while carrying her home, Izuku ends up falling asleep in the same bed as Mei, and it leads to the best sleep of both their lives. Once they see the upsides of this situation, they start making it a nightly occurrence.
Will they be able to fight the romantic and sexual undertones of this arrangement, or will they both continue to be denser than a brick?

Podfic_Mastermind: Strategist For Hire by Clouds by DistractedByBooks
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
29 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.Chapter 1: Temptation

In a quirkless spar, who'd win?
A pro hero who mostly uses his quirk to catch people off guard, or a boy who was bulled so hard that he can predict what someone was gonna do based on context clues?
OR

Summary
After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

Conditions May (Not?) Apply - A fanfic of a fanfic by Beezus_Zeebus
https://archiveofourown.org/works/56061424
Author Note:
This was written after Chapter 113 of the CMA.If you haven't read Conditions May Apply, you probably should if you want to fully understand what's going on here.
This has been approved and beta read by the amazing CinnamonPinecones herself.
To be clear - this is NOT canon to CMA. This is just where my brain goes when I daydream about what might happen in my favorite fic. Nothing I write has any indication on where Cinnamon may be going with CMA.
Please enjoy!!!!
