Shadows: The Horror Movie Heroes (My Hero Academia, 40 chapters, 71K words).

Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

Middle school students Izuku and Hitoshi meet, seriously train to become underground heroes, and test their progress by volunteering to play minor villains in a week long UA exercise for second year hero students. The traumatized UA students wind up needing therapy.
