What are your top 5 recs for Bakudeku fics?

okay first of all anon fucking kiss me rn ive been wanting to do some bakudeku fic recs for FUCKING AGES lets have sex

second of all sorry if this is late my phone doesnt like giving me notifs for asks ://

alriiight onto the fic recs idk if u wanted it to b ranked but these will just b in very vague order. also these recs will all be fairly popular fics so sorry if you’ve already read em.

first would be bluebird by etherealbeing. it was the first bakudeku longfic i ever read n im still biased towards it to this day. i love it so much, it’s a wrong number au and the humour is exactly what i love, great emotional parts too, i absolutely adore it. good if you want something fairly lighthearted

secondly theres the way you used to do by edema_ruh. one of the longest bakudeku fics so far at 570,000 words with a sequel in the works to boot. it might seem a bit much (because it is) but imo it’s well worth the length. deku turns into a ghost that only kacchan can see (edit: not permanently dont worry) and lots of angst ensues. it’s the slowest slow burn ive ever read, so if you’re impatient with romance it might frustrate you a bit, but i looooove slow burn so i adored this one. development was wonderful, katsuki’s growth was painstakingly real, just phenomenal all around. please try to give it a shot even if the word count is daunting.

theres also the absolute truth by glon_morski its been a while since i read this one so i don’t remember much, basically katsuki is kidnapped by villains and forcibly made to admit the horrible things he did and said to deku as a child. big on the guilt thing so its good if u like that, however please bear in mind that it is sort of unrequited love so if you need a conclusive getting-together in a fic in order to feel satisfied then skip this one bc they do not do that in this. very angsty please heed the tags for this one (and the above one too tbh)

2645 miles by mynameis152 i was a bit iffy on at first, the age difference kinda put me off even if it wasnt that much and i didnt like how they fell in love basically in the space of a few days (i like bakudeku for the ten years of slow burn alright) but honestly this fic was just great. its a roadtrip au with a heavy dose of Action and darkish themes (because katsuki and eijirou r kinda on the run from the police lmao) and it doesnt rly play to bakudekus canon strengths as a ship since its such a different au but its just a great story nonetheless.

ending on a lighthearted one theres what’s your type by sapphicflower! pro heroes kacchan and deku go on a gameshow for hero partners to see how well they know each other, thats the main premise, and it ends in the lovely sappy romantic realisations and its ur typical idiots to lovers its classic pro hero bakudeku its Theyve Been In Love Forever And Only Just Realised, Your Honour. i loved it, hopefully you will too.

and thats five! you didnt really give any specific parameters so i just thought of some favourites off the top of my head! if u ever wanna talk about bakudeku u can shoot me a dm or send more asks im always happy to talk about them!!
