My main experience is on Archive of Our Own. The platform's strength for this particular dynamic is how writers explore Deku's intelligence turned to ruthless calculation, paired with the reader's vulnerability or complicity. It lends itself to slower, more internal stories, which AO3's format supports. I've read fewer on Quotev or Wattpad; they tend toward quicker, more dialogue-heavy encounters. The Discord community around BNHA villain AUs often points back to AO3 for completed works, using servers more for brainstorming and sharing snippets. I appreciate that separation—the polished work lives in one place, the messy creative process in another. It helps me choose what mood I'm in.
Wattpad's crawling with them, but honestly, the search is a nightmare. You type in 'villain deku x reader' and half the results are 'bad boy' AUs that have nothing to do with MHA, or they're one-paragraph imagines from 2017. When you find a good one, it's great, but it's such a slog. I gave up and just follow a few writers who consistently deliver the angsty, possessive dynamic I like. Their profiles are my homepage now. AO3's system is objectively better, but something about the messy, chaotic Wattpad interface feels nostalgic, even if it wastes my time.
AO3, no question. Wattpad has quantity, but AO3 has the depth and tags that actually work. Just filter for 'Midoriya Izuku Deku' + 'Villain AU' + 'Reader Insert'. Sorted by kudos. You're set.
Alright, this is weirdly specific so I'll just lay out what I've seen. A lot of the villain Deku x reader action is on AO3—Archive of Our Own—obviously. The tag 'Villain Deku' plus 'Reader Insert' or 'Reader' gets you there. The thing is, on AO3 you gotta sift a bit because some writers tag really broadly, so you'll get a mix of x Reader and regular OC fics. It's a treasure trove though, especially for darker, more psychological takes on the ship. Wattpad has its own huge chunk, but the quality can be super hit or miss. It's often more trope-y there, like heavy on the 'Yandere Villain Deku' or 'Forced Proximity' stuff, which I'm not always in the mood for. Tumblr still has snippets and headcanon threads, but you're mostly linking out to AO3 from there. Honestly, my AO3 bookmark list for this is embarrassingly long.
Discord servers for BNHA fanfic are another spot. You find dedicated channels for recs, and sometimes writers share WIPs there that aren't posted anywhere else yet. The vibe is more immediate, less curated, which can be fun. I've stumbled on a few gems that way, though you have to be in the right server, obviously. As for why AO3 feels like the main hub, I think the tagging system just works better for this niche. You can filter for the exact dynamic you want, avoid the stuff you don't, and the comments section often has really deep discussions about Deku's characterization. That's where the truly unhinged, brilliant takes seem to live.

He's the last man I should want. My mother's husband. Completely off-limits.
But when he looks at me with those deep brown eyes, and calls out my name with that baritone voice. My kitty can't help but throb and my panties soaked.

Elina thought she had hit rock bottom.
She lost her job. Her therapy session dredged up memories of the ex-boyfriend who stalked and traumatized her. The only thing she had left to look forward to was the finale of her favorite fantasy series, Moonbound Faith.
Then the show ended.
The heroes won. The villain died. Everyone got their happily-ever-after.
That same night, a knock at her door shatters what little peace she has left.
Her ex is standing outside.
The man who was supposed to be in prison.
Forced to flee into a storm, Elina runs until she reaches the edge of a cliff with nowhere left to go. Faced with a choice between death and returning to the man who destroyed her life, she jumps.
But instead of dying, she wakes up inside Moonbound Faith.
Not as the heroine.
Not as a side character.
But as Luna—the infamous villainess whose tragic death she celebrated only hours before.
Determined to survive, Elina plans to use her knowledge of the story to change her fate. But everything she thought she knew begins to unravel when a small boy tugs on her sleeve and calls her one word:
“Mom.”
The original story never mentioned a child.
And when Elina uncovers the truth behind his existence, she realizes something terrifying.
The villainess was never the villain.
The story lied.
And the ending she remembers may not be the ending waiting for her at all.

Finding those really well-written Dark Deku fics can be a bit of a process. Most of them end up on Archive of Our Own (AO3) because of the tagging system—you can filter for stuff like 'Midoriya Izuku Has a Quirk' or 'Villain Midoriya Izuku' and then sort by kudos. The quality there is usually higher on average, especially for longer, plot-heavy dark Deku arcs. Wattpad has a bunch too, but you really have to dig; the tags are messier and a lot of the stories lean more into edgy revenge fantasies without much nuance. Sometimes I'll check specific Tumblr blogs if I know an author posts snippets there, but AO3 is where the real gems get polished and finished. The 'Dark!Deku' and 'BAMF Midoriya Izuku' tags are your best friends.
Honestly, the community on AO3 tends to treat the concept with more care, exploring how the pressure broke him rather than just making him OP for the sake of it. I've found a few on FanFiction.net by searching 'Villain Deku,' but the site feels a bit dated for this particular trope. Most of the newer, more interesting takes migrate to AO3 pretty quickly.
