Shelf of Stars
A way for me to hoard all of the fics I love related to humans are space orcs, deathworlders, and sometimes general space themes in one place. Mainly bnha, both ongoing and finished works. If one of your favorites is missing, don't be afraid to request it to be added!

Summary
Izuku falls to his knees, gasping, struggling for air. He can vaguely register the shouting of his neighbors, the alien language coming out shrill and high pitched, even while muffled by Izuku’s own racing heart. His left hand is still holding the bars in a white-knuckled, throbbing grip, the fingernails on his right hand scratching at the metal floor below him.
---
Cut off from humanity and forced to rely only on each other, Midoriya Izuku and Shinso Hitoshi have their work cut out for them. Midoriya is clever, intelligent, and a quick study. Shinso knows what it takes to survive with nothing but himself to rely on. Together, they are the perfect match to make it back home. Except for the fact that they happened to be kidnapped by alien pirates, and they have no knowledge of the worlds beyond their solar system. The universe is an unforgiving place, and, as they will soon learn, an extremely dangerous one as well.What will it take to make it home? What are they willing to sacrifice? And are they prepared to leave behind the friends they make along the way?

Or: Midoriya and Shinso get kidnaped by aliens and trapped in space, where they show the universe why humans are space orcs. -

Summary
Even though he’s only been on the ship for a few days, he knows no one in their right mind would ever try and get on his bad side. The man had lost a leg, an eye, had seemingly gone several days without food, could walk silently into rooms despite his obvious muscular frame, and somehow could level a person with a stare so cutting it felt physical from across a room. It makes sense that their mechanic is human as well, because he somehow can stand both incredibly hot and cold environments without pain and is capable of fixing absolutely anything they need.
Aizawa could easily kill him, is all he’s saying.
Izuku is an alien aboard a ship with Aizawa, a terrifying human. When he breaks something, he does everything he can not to confront him.

Summary
Izuku had spent three decades in captivity. A glorified house arrest similar to that of a zoo animal, according to his research on Terran life. He was bound to this god awful ship that could not operate without his presence on board. He could leave, of course, but the ship would die in short order if he was gone for too long.
That would be a catastrophe, to the Terrans, anyway.
Izuku was the last living survivor of the Antimatter War. He was the last living member of the Nefling race - a sentient race of tall, ethereal ‘space elves’ as the Humans called them.
_____
OR: Alien!Izuku has been captive to the human race for 30 years after they eradicated Izuku's home and everyone he loved. He is bound to the last antimatter engine from his home, a ship the humans tore apart to retrofit into their own. What will happen if that engine finally dies?

Summary
“What are these?” A’zawa demanded, gesturing to a line of reinforced cages that seemed to be separated from everything else. The crew members he was asking laughed.
“Have you heard of the Deathworld, Terra?” one asked, her lip bleeding from a hit she had taken earlier.
“Terra has a no-contact order. Their lifeforms wouldn’t be out here,” N’muri pointed out.
“Unless you go there and bring some back yourself,” she laughed. “Do you know how much a Deathworlder goes for? How good they are as mindless fighters? Throw them in a ring with anything and they’ll rip them to shreds. Instant entertainment!”
A’zawa turned back to the cages, filled with a variety of unfamiliar creatures. With a sigh, he pulled out his communicator. “Get Nezu. We have a problem.”
~or~
After a series of failed expeditions, the planet Terra was classified as a Deathworld and had a no-contact order placed on it. To the rest of the galaxy's knowledge, there were no lifeforms of higher intelligence on Terra. So when some are recovered in a raid on an illegal trafficking and poaching ring, the more docile ones are taken in as pets. How long before Aizawa and his family realize their new pets may not be pets at all?

Summary
H'zashi's feathers stood on end, blood boiling at the fear in the fledgeling's eyes, the way their running was flagging even though their breathing still came way too fast— He flew forwards, covering the remaining distance and swiftly whirling around the little Green, placing himself between them and their pursuers, wings spread wide. He put one wing back to cover them.
Internally, he both cooed and cried when Green's hands immediately grabbed onto him, tucking close.
