Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo (Kacchan), Shota Aizawa
Depressed Deku brings up the rear on this list, a story that doesn't fall far apart from the original. MintNChip showcases her creative prowess not through this story alone. She's a master of the craft, having published Demons And Angels and We Met In College works. Too bad she pulled that plug on writing fanfiction.
Nonetheless, she's given us gems so that we can cut her some slack. Her 27-part Depressed Deku story hints at the two's romantic relationship. Both have their demons to fight-Deku's mom unexpectedly passes on, and Todoroki has to deal with his abusive dad. Therefore, a little tumult and struggle is pretty much expected. MintNChip's immersive story-telling with a slow-burn romance, angst, drama, and progressive character development in first-person narration will get you hooked.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo (Kacchan), Ochako Uraraka
This gay MHA Deku x Todoroki fanfic is genuinely an unmatched and exciting read, and That_Weird_Kitty_Cat narrates from Deku's point of view in a deeply conversational style. It's the author's sole work published in 2020-we hope he hasn't pulled the curtain as well.
This Deku x Todoroki story sandwiches Deku between Kacchan and Todoroki, forming a typical love triangle. He has feelings for both but must choose one of them. It proves to be a difficult decision, but he eventually has to disappoint one. If you've ever imagined a gay story between MHA characters, this story is a match made in heaven for you.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Uraraka Ochako, Iida
It's only about time we had MHA characters whooshed into animals for a fanfic. This idea that Weirdness crafts isn't new in the fanfic world. Werewolf Dekus are pretty commonplace. So, imagining Deku as a cat shouldn't be surprising. The author seems not to have ventured far and wide into fanfiction since he's only published one other story, Dazai x Chuuya.
As a cat, Deku retains a few human parts to remain barely recognizable. Todoroki finds him in the park, oblivious to how he got into that situation. But he doesn't flinch; he takes him in his transformed form and makes him his romantic partner. This story is quite steamy and highly relatable to every gay fanfic fan.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Kirishima, Shirigaki
PersonWhoPerson's Deku x Todoroki is a tale of villainy, giving us quite a break from typical U.A Academy heroism. This work is the author's first, published in 2019, and it is worth trying.
The author imagines Deku as a disillusioned villain questioning the hero society's morals. Todoroki becomes entangled in Deku's quest for justice, and they struggle with personal convictions and blurred lines between villainy and heroism. The story adopts a somber tone, but it's a thought-provoking piece readers will truly indulge in.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Kirishima, Aizawa, Hizashi
Cinny has quite a knack for fanfic writing and is a massive MHA fan. She has nine works, some ongoing. The Sound Of Music, The King, and The Wedding highlight her fanfic writing journey; we can expect more from her soon.
Broken Glass is a tale of misery, and the author journeys with us through Todoroki's capture by villains. Held in a cell (a giant water tank, precisely), he faces oblivion as his only savior, Deku, is a villain. Is Deku's conviction that the world is collapsing and the prospect of gaining something from it the reason he doesn't show mercy? There's only one way to know. Here's what to know: the story has so much emotional intensity, dark themes, and subtle romantic undertones. Brace yourself for a reading experience you won't forget.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Inko Midoriya, Doctor
Blub is among the fanfic writing top cream as she showcases her prowess in her four works, including Xinny, I Was Tagged, and Crimson Villain. Psychopath is a 33-part story that stays in content for the best.
The author presents Deku as a villain born with a 'blood crave' quark. The doctors keep it a secret and choose not to inform his parents-a big mistake. The quark damages him mentally as he goes through the U.A. Despite his destructive tendencies, he falls for Todoroki, with whom he gets into a romantic relationship. We guarantee this story will unsettle you a little bit, but isn't that only a small price to pay for an exciting reading?
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Uraraka Ochako, Aizawa
Aiko developed his interest in fanfiction when he was only 11 or 12. He wrote this Deku x Todoroki fanart at that age. But don't imagine a mundane storyline or bland characters in this story because it's full of surprises. We bet you don't believe that, but give this story-and his other work, What Are Those Feelings, a slight chance.
What If It Was All Fake is a 38-part narration the author narrates from Izuku's and Todoroki's points of view. It explores their relationship and the tumult they face daily with Deku's depression. It features marginally dark undertones, profound character development, and an engaging, edgy tone. There's no better way to let a typical weekend pass by with this book than living rent-free in your mind.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Hisashi Midoriya, Dabi, Shigaraki
We challenge you to churn through a 78-part Kichi story featuring the two popular MHA characters-Die Like A Villain. Or we dare you to read all of Kichi's 20 works, preferably Izuku's The Full Blooded Saiyan or Death Is Not An Escape. You'll feel refreshed and longing for more afterward.
Die Like A Villain revolves around a darker, alternate universe. Todoroki is a villain and uses Deku as a test subject (he does it out of 'love'). But what kind of friend does that to someone he cares for? Will Deku resent him? This story's lines of evil and good are pretty blurred, and psychological trauma seems to hit Deku hard. This story should be your perfect match if dark, twisted, and psychological horror themes don't faze you.
Main Characters: Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki
An Idol And His Villain is an exceptional take on the Omegaverse. Dyno's six works, including Yandere x Yandere, Web Of Lies, and Problems, comprehensively exploit the MHA universe.
This story depicts Deku as a 16-year-old Omegan idol who gets in trouble with Todoroki (also HellFrost) when escaping an Alpha. Surprisingly, Hellfrost saves Deku despite being a villain, and the two morph into a romantic pair. This fanfic is action-packed but has slowed-down sections for some romance and steam-a perfect recipe for an engaging reading.
Main Characters: Female Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Shoto Todoroki, Enji Todoroki, Bakugou
Deku's recreation as a female is one wild take if any fanfic author can nail the character. But it seems as easy as pie for Suki, who crafts Deku into her feminine best. The author's prowess in twisting narratives doesn't come as a surprise; he'd completed 32 works, a pro in our books. Suki has a knack for writing, and his rich collection featuring Freak Show, Class 1-A Missing, and How To Kill A Hero highlights his prowess.
This no-quirk Female Deku x Todoroki fanfiction is one for the books. It journeys readers through the romantic relationship between the two in quite an engaging and exhilarating tone. Their union isn't smooth sailing either, and they must deal with the challenges as they build a robust future together.
Deku x Todoroki is such an impactful combo that breeds interesting fanfiction that fans can't stop getting head over heels for. Let your imagination run wild and embrace the "what ifs" of the original MHA Manga with this cherry-picked fanfiction. You can still find tons of other stories at New Reading. So, kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Deku and Todoroki neither kissed in the original Manga nor got into a romantic relationship. Their bond was mutually respectful and never transcended beyond ordinary friendship.
The Deku x Todoroki ship is sought-after due to the strong bond these two characters formed. It forms the basis for effortlessly bending reality into alternate projections, including romance, rivalry, and friendship.
Villainy and romance are the common Deku x Todoroki fanfiction themes. Most authors use these themes to create alternate universes that impeccably explore the "what ifs" of their friendship from the original Manga.
