I’ll be my own hero By Naughty_Weeb
Izuku has been forced to do many things and has had little say in them. From who he can talk to to who he has to marry. The one thing he thought he had any control was his affair with Katsuki Bakugou, his personal bodyguard.
But it turns out that even then, Izuku doesn't have a full say and takes things into his own hands.

As a massive My Hero Academia fan, I'm always on the hunt for incredible fanfiction, and let me tell you, AO3 (Archive of Our Own) is an absolute goldmine! I recently stumbled upon 'I'll Be My Own Hero' by Naughty_Weeb, and it's everything I didn't know I needed from a Bakudeku story. If you're searching for your next MHA fix, especially if you love the Izuku x Bakugou dynamic, you absolutely have to check this out. What makes this fanfic so captivating is its unique spin on the MHA universe with a 'Yakuza AU.' Seeing Izuku navigate a world where he has so little control over his destiny, facing a forced marriage, only to find solace and strength through a secret affair with his bodyguard, Katsuki Bakugou, is just... *chef's kiss*. The character development and tension are palpable. It’s not a Deku x Bakugou comic, but the vivid writing paints pictures just as compelling! For those who are into Omegaverse stories, this one features Omega Midoriya Izuku, which adds another layer of intrigue and vulnerability to his character. It’s fascinating to explore how an Omega like Izuku takes his life into his own hands within such a rigid societal structure. While it doesn't explicitly mention Bakudeku mpreg, the Omegaverse elements often open doors to those themes, showing the diverse ways authors explore pairings like Alpha/Omega dynamics, similar to what you might find if you're looking for an alpha Dabi x omega reader type of story. The beauty of AO3 MHA fanfiction is how it allows creators to explore 'what if' scenarios. From specific timelines like middle school MHA to darker, more mature themes that might carry a 'Graphic Depictions Of Violence' warning, authors push boundaries and dive deep into character psychology. It’s not just about cute fanart of Kacchako (though I love those too!), it's about rich, multi-layered narratives that expand the universe we adore. If you're eager to see Izuku's lack of control transform into powerful agency, and witness a deeply emotional M/M romance unfold within a thrilling Yakuza setting, then 'I'll Be My Own Hero' is your next read. It truly stands out amongst the many My Hero Academia fandom works. So, grab a snack, settle in, and prepare to be drawn into Izuku and Katsuki's intense world. You won't regret it!
