Fics like A Stray's Struggle

Izuku Midoriya has always been good at one thing: surviving. But after a chain of events leave him alone and quirkless in a world that eats the weak alive, Izuku reaches the point where surviving doesn’t feel worth it anymore. One night, while not really planning to see another morning, he stumbles into a fight that isn’t his—and realizes something important: he doesn’t need to be a hero to save people. So Izuku decides he might as well make himself useful. Vigilantism is dangerous, violent, and very likely to get him killed—which is perfect. If his life is good for anything, it might as well be saving someone else’s anyways. The only problem is that Izuku doesn’t stay dead. Or; When a vigilante begins appearing in the city’s back alleys, two pro heroes start to realize something unsettling: the kid behind the mask doesn’t seem particularly interested in surviving.
