Honestly, I've read so many crossovers between 'Jujutsu Kaisen' and 'My Hero Academia' that my standards are pretty specific at this point. The ones that resonate most are the ones that treat the power systems with respect—not just smashing Gojo against All Might and calling it a day. 'Cursed Academia' by Scribbler does this brilliantly; it imagines a world where cursed energy is a Quirk mutation, and it spends a ton of time on how MHA's society would react to something so inherently grim and hidden. It makes the JJK cast feel like dangerous outsiders, which is a dynamic you don't see often.
What kills a story for me is when Deku just instantly masters RCT or something equally convenient. The best fics let the characters struggle across the conceptual gap. There's a WIP called 'Displacement Theory' that just has Megumi randomly appearing in the U.A. dorms, no explanation given. The tension isn't from big fights but from him trying to navigate a world where 'curses' are an alien concept and his own fatalism clashes so hard with their hero optimism. It's a character study more than an action romp, and it's way more engaging because of it. I'll take a slow, thoughtful crossover over a power-wank fest any day, even if it updates slower.

Undertale and JJK pairings kind of exploded in a specific corner of AO3 last year. The crossover logic usually hinges on curses interacting with determination or monster souls, which sets up some wild dynamics.
A big one is Frisk/Gojo Satoru. Writers love pitting Gojo's absolute power and flippant attitude against Frisk's pacifist resolve and time-loop reality. Stories often explore the tension between Gojo's role as a protector and Frisk's ability to literally reset a bad ending, which makes for a weirdly balanced power couple.
Another I've seen a lot is Chara/Yuji Itadori. It's a darker ship, obviously, focusing on two vessels carrying immense, dangerous power (Chara's genocidal intent and Sukuna). The angst potential is huge, exploring themes of shared corruption and fighting for control of one's body. It's not for everyone, but the tag has a dedicated following.
Sans/Geto Suguru gets some traction too, mostly from the 'tired men who've seen too much' angle. Their cynical worldviews bouncing off each other can be fun, though it often slips into full-on fix-it fics where they team up against the higher-ups or the timeline.
Megumi Fushiguro and Flowey is a niche but horrifyingly effective combo I stumbled on once. The idea of Megumi's shikigami interacting with a being that can save and load is pure nightmare fuel, and some authors really run with that.

I spend way too much time chasing down the kind of crossovers where Gojo Satoru shows up at UA and proceeds to fundamentally break Midoriya Izuku's worldview within twenty minutes. If you're after that specific chaotic blend, Tumblr and Twitter are surprisingly solid starting points. Writers will often drop links to their work in threads or reblog chains, and the tagging system on Tumblr can lead you down a rabbit hole of 'jjk mha crossover' and 'bnha x jjk' variations. The trick is to follow a few big-name fanartists or fic rec blogs in either fandom; they're usually plugged into who's writing what.
That said, Archive of Our Own is the undisputed archive for this. The tagging system is your best friend. Start with the 'Crossover' tag, filter by 'My Hero Academia' and 'Jujutsu Kaisen' as fandoms, and then you can get really granular. Looking for TodoDeku but with Geto Suguru as a surprise mentor? Tag combinations can get you there. Don't just sort by kudos; sometimes the newest or most obscure fics have the most interesting premises, like a story where Sukuna's fingers start appearing as Quirk-boosting artifacts, and the Hero Commission has no idea what they're dealing with. The bookmarks of users who kudo'd stories you liked are also a goldmine.
Discord servers dedicated to either fandom often have crossover channels. You might have to dig a bit and ask around, but the community recs there can be more curated than the broad AO3 search. Sometimes you find WIPs that aren't posted anywhere else, or writers brainstorming ideas that later become full fics. Just be prepared for the conversation to spiral into intense debates about whether Unlimited Void would work on All For One.

Honestly, I've been seeing a lot of these crossovers lately, and they all kind of trip up on the same thing: the power systems don't mesh cleanly at all. 'Jujutsu Kaisen' runs on negative emotional energy and complex binding vows; quirks from 'My Hero Academia' are mostly biological, a weird lottery of genetics. When writers just smash them together, it usually feels lazy—like, Izuku suddenly has cursed energy because... reasons? The more interesting attempts I've seen treat the two systems as fundamentally incompatible forces. One story had Gojo showing up in the MHA world and being utterly baffled that their 'cursed energy' was so passive and didn't spawn actual curses; he treated quirks like a bizarre, harmless mutation. That created actual narrative tension instead of just stacking powers onto a character.
What works better, in my opinion, is focusing on the philosophical clash. Cursed techniques are deeply personal, tied to trauma and negative emotion. Quirks are presented as a tool for heroism, often divorced from the user's mental state. A fusion that digs into that difference—say, a jujutsu sorcerer horrified by pro heroes monetizing their abilities, or a hero student struggling to use a cursed technique that feeds on their despair—has way more potential. It's less about who can beat whom and more about the cultures crashing together. I tend to skip the ones that are just power-ranking exercises.

Look, you can't scroll five fics on AO3 without hitting BakuDeku. They've topped the charts for years, and it makes sense—that volatile mix of rivalry, shared history, and raw emotion is basically a blank check for writers. Whether it's angsty slow-burns, post-war healing, or wild AUs where they're rival chefs or something, the audience is just... ravenous. The sheer volume of new content daily is staggering.
But honestly, I'm a little tired of seeing them dominate every tag. It pushes a lot of other genuinely amazing dynamics out of the spotlight. Like, I'll get a craving for some good TodoDeku or KiriBaku and have to dig through pages of the main pairing. That longevity is a testament to the ship's appeal, though. The readers aren't just passive; they're constantly creating fanart, metas, and playlists, which keeps the whole ecosystem buzzing.
A quiet contender with a fiercely loyal base is EraserMic. It's not about quantity of fics but the intensity of the fans. The discussions around their established relationship, the domesticity mixed with the high-stakes hero life—it attracts an older crowd, maybe, who appreciate the subtler storytelling. You don't see as many fics, but the ones you do find are often deeply polished and character-focused. Their readers are the type to bookmark a 300k word slow-burn and analyze every paragraph in the comments.
