Fics like If You Can't Join Them, Beat Them: A Guide on Not Becoming a Hero

After everyone in his life tells him he has no chance of becoming a hero, Izuku discovers that being a villain isn't a bad second choice. Along the way, he'll make a lot of friends, come to peace with being quirkless, and find his own place to belong. Oh, you've read that story? What if I add a confident, sex-positive Izuku who doesn't jump into monogamy when there are so many interesting potential partners in his life? Also featuring a supportive villain-adjacent Inko, soft-but-doesn't-show-it Shigaraki, and our trio of misused UA students finding love and happiness. (I have no beta and haven't written anything in ages. Feel free to let me know if I make a mistake.) Also, let me know if you have a pairing you'd really like to see - the main ones are listed, but there is room for cameos. ** Currently on hiatus but NOT discontinued **
