What is My Hero Academia fanfiction?
My Hero Academia fandom industrialized a set of tropes all its own: villain-Deku AUs interrogating what the hero system does to the kids it fails, quirk-swap thought experiments, Dadzawa (Aizawa acquiring children like a Katamari), and the vigilante AU ecosystem. The class-as-found-family energy fuels enormous gen output alongside the big ships — BakuDeku, TodoDeku, KiriBaku — and the fandom's darker analytical wing produces some of anime fandom's best critical fic.
My Hero Academia fanfiction is fan-created stories set in the Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia universe. With over 150,000 works on Archive of Our Own, My Hero Academia is one of the most popular fandoms in the fanfiction community.
These stories explore beloved characters like Midoriya Izuku, Bakugou Katsuki, Todoroki Shouto, Aizawa Shouta, and many more. Writers create everything from short one-shots to epic novel-length adventures, exploring relationships, alternate universes, and "what if" scenarios.

DabiHawks
Dabi/Hawks

ShigaDabi
Shigaraki Tomura/Dabi

IzuOcha
Midoriya Izuku/Uraraka Ochako
U.A.'s earnest successor of One For All and the gravity girl who saved him from a faceplant on day one became each other's biggest supporters, with Uraraka's crush made explicit in canon. She's also the one who catches him — literally — when he breaks himself playing vigilante in the final act.
11,000 works →
TogaChako
Toga Himiko/Uraraka Ochako
The blood-drinking villain fixated on Uraraka across multiple battles, demanding to know what love is allowed to look like, and their final confrontation ends with Uraraka answering in blood and tears. Canon made their bond the emotional core of the war arc, and femslash fandom followed.
6,500 works →
ShinKami
Shinsou Hitoshi/Kaminari Denki
The brainwashing general-course outsider and Class 1-A's electric class clown barely interact in canon, but the joint training arc — where Kaminari grins that Shinsou's villainous streak is cool — lit the fuse. Fandom paired the insomniac cynic with the boy who short-circuits into a finger-gunning idiot.
5,500 works →
TodoMomo
Todoroki Shouto/Yaoyorozu Momo
Class 1-A's two recommendation students were paired in the final exam against Aizawa, where Shouto's blunt declaration that he voted for Momo because she was brilliant restored her shattered confidence. The elegant creation hero and the aloof ice prince became the class's favored power couple.
5,000 works →
MiriTama
Toogata Mirio/Amajiki Tamaki
Two of U.A.'s Big Three have been inseparable since childhood, when Mirio's encouragement gave the anxiety-ridden Tamaki his hero name, Suneater. Tamaki canonically steadies himself in fights by picturing Mirio, the human embodiment of the sun he measures himself against.
4,500 works →
KamiJirou
Kaminari Denki/Jirou Kyouka
Class 1-A's electric goofball and its deadpan rocker trade insults all series until the School Festival arc, where Kaminari pushes Jirou to sing and watches her like she hung the moon. The class band practically canonized them.
3,000 works →
EndHawks
Todoroki Enji | Endeavor/Hawks
The number one and number two heroes form a canon partnership built on Hawks' lifelong admiration of the man whose flame once saved his family. Fandom mines the loaded mentorship between a hero seeking atonement and the bird raised by the Commission to worship him.
5,000 works →
TsuChako
Asui Tsuyu/Uraraka Ochako
Froppy and Uravity have been each other's first pick since the USJ attack, a friendship the series keeps framing in rescue carries and shared hot pots. MHA's leading femslash ship pairs Tsuyu's blunt calm with Ochako's determined sunshine.
