    Summary

    Izuku didn't want to be a villain. He had wanted to be a hero, but so what? Life wasn't fair, and there was no point crying over it. All For One really wasn't so bad, sure he broke his bones and let his men hurt Izuku and made him do bad things... and sure he had some weird orders, like telling Izuku to turn himself in.

    Heros were weird too. I mean who made a villain rehab center? At a school no less...

    ~~~
    OR: Basically Izuku was forced to be a villain be AFO, and is ordered to turn himself in. He does and is then sent to UA for a villain rehab program that just started up.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya has always wanted to be a hero.

    Heroes save people. Heroes endure. Heroes do what must be done.

    So when the gentle man named Giran asks him to be one, asks him to hurt, to break, to trade one life for another, he says yes.

    Because saving someone means someone else must be left behind.

    That’s what being a hero is, isn’t it?

    He tells himself so until the ache dulls, until the faces blur.

    He doesn’t like it. He doesn’t want it.

    But he is needed.
    And then he is needed elsewhere.

    It hurts. He wasn’t discarded, only weighed and found more useful in Shigaraki’s hands than Giran’s. It still aches, but feelings do not matter. Only that he is useful.

    So he will obey. He will endure.

     

     
    -Or-

     

    Kidnapped as a child and renamed Zero, Izuku fights in the pits until Giran decides he would be more useful to Shigaraki. Forced into villainy, he still holds on to the heart of a hero and feels a strange attachment to Shigaraki.

    Summary

    Izuku gets surprised as he quickly glances in the throne's direction and sees a young man, albeit older than himself (probably 27 or 28), sitting on it with a golden crown upon his blond head and a silver scepter in his left hand. He wears a dark tunic with orange fabric secured to the side with his golden belt. And over his shoulders a cape that has golden feathers on its right side.

    He looks very handsome and pretty muscular for someone who (Izuku thought) only stayed in his throne or his chambers the whole day. He was probably trained as a warrior as well. The look on his face is cold and almost detached, but he doesn't blame him for that, he lost both his parents after all.

    No, it was ever worse: they were taken from him.

    However, that doesn't justify his actions towards innocent people.

    Summary

    Izuku fell backwards onto the floor for the third time that day, with the door handle still in his hands, definitely no longer on the door. Izuku could no longer hear anything over the pounding of his heart threatening to beat out of his chest. He raised his eyes back from his hands to the door, to find the door still shut. Izuku was completely, and utterly, fucked.

     

    Or; What if Izuku never made it off the roof after All Might left him?
