The Mystery of Midoriya Izuku by HopeNight on AO3. I haven't finished this one (can't remember why) but it's pretty good for those of you who don't mind realistic, and slightly emotionally difficult fics. Basically a whump in which Dadzawa figures out Izuku's past. 13 chapters, 56.1k words. Complete.
Throw a Chair Through the Window and Call it a Day by jaded_ghoster on AO3. Omg- Nedzu makes Aizawa principal in his absence and along with Izuku, Dadzawa fucks shit up. Iconic. 8 chapters, 120.3k words. Complete.

^IMPORTANT NOTE, MYHEADINTHECOUDSNOTCOMINGDOWN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AO3 CREATORS. Seriously tho all their stories are good. IF YOU LIKE VILLAIN DEKU THEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ MASTERMIND: STRATEGIST FOR HIRE BY THEM. ITS ICONIC AND THEYRE WRITING A SEQUEL.

Sincerely, Deku by Bakanohero on AO3. I haven't read this in a hot while but from what I remember it's the chatfic version of Subject: A Comprehensive Report but with a much more chaotic Izuku. I'm like 90% sure it's has like alternate chapters that explore quirk theory and stuff which is super freakin cool. 74 chapters, 49.7k words. Incomplete- discontinued(?)
Words as Weapons by NearoRiver on AO3. This is another parent AFO au but this time he's like kinda a shitty dad. Izuku gets OFA in this fic.

Little Acts of Kindess by TheDeadGirlRisen on AO3. I love this one so much. Basically another Dadzawa and yamadad thing but this time it's bc Inko is like completely spaced out (in a medical way). Mother. Fuckin. Whump. 34 chapters, 82.6k words. Incomplete- in progress.
Of Bias and Bravery by Mintoki on AO3. Basically a one shot where Midoriya defends quirklessness to his classmates. Basically badass Midoriya fic (but not in a rude way it's like respectful and shit) technically could be canon compliant I think. One shot, 13.5k words. Complete.
