#cus I like Kacchan so much

[evelynpr]

For prev's tags, I'm really saying like-

"Izuku is incredibly caring and loving to people even to those who hurt him" and "Izuku is concerningly obsessed and freaky, and quite arrogant/self righteous" and "Izuku is self sacrificial and destructive" and "Izuku feels satisfaction and desire for power and violence" are all statements that can coexist.

Middle school bakudeku was like, Horrible bully x Freaky stalker wasn't it because holy shit Deku really was freaky as hell-

The guy knows his moves, stance, food habits, SHOWER AND SLEEP ROUTINE??? WHAT THE FUCK MAN-

To be clear, the Smash comics aren't Canon canon. This is just another way of understanding bkdk's dynamic and progression.

Words without memories (1)

“..Katsuki has lost his memories from a quirk, we don't know when it will come back” Jeanist says from the phone, and izuku's eyes widened as he punched a villain in his face, easily dodging an upcoming kick

“I–is he okay?! I’ll try to finish this mission–” “No, I need you to focus on this, you've been on this project for 2 weeks”

“NO, I–I have to go to kacchan–” “Midoriya! Focus, nothing will change okay? He still has his friends to fill him up with information, they will tell him who his fiance is”

The green hair slowly nods “..okay then” “Focus” his boss reminds him before hanging up

**

Izuku was tired, to say the least. He couldn't focus–go figure. He tried to call but he never got an answer back, he tried to call his friends but they said they were always busy and hadn't visited the blond every time he called, he even stays up at 4 am calling, his only comfort was browsing through their images and videos, he's been falling asleep to hearing bakugou laughs while kittens they rescued got all over him

They kept one, his name was All might– Not the best name but they both agreed to it, his fur is orange, and with blue eyes, so of course, they /had/ to name them..!

“Uh–fuck this is kinda embarrassing” the audio from his phone said as izuku closed teary eyes “Use this audio when you're sad n shit–cus…I love you” bakugo says and izuku hugs his phone

“And you better not die, I can't raise all might all by myself and–well because I’ll miss you..love you…I miss you calling me kacchan” The audio stops

“I love you too..kacchan” izuku murmurs as he falls asleep

Finally, after 2 weeks his mission was over. His eye bags were prominent and his cheeks were not as chubby as before and he was dead tired

But the thought of seeing katsuki gave him strength, gave him the power to keep moving

“He’s in room 106, floor c” The receptionist said and izuku nodded, gripping the balloons and large all-might plush he bought at the airport. He just can't greet him without something! Who knows, maybe seeing his face would make the blond remember everything! Like a movie

He knocks with his foot

“Open!” izuku froze as he heard a familiar woman's voice

But it wasn't Mina's nor ochakos or anybody from his class…

It was..camie–his toxic ex

He slammed the door open, shocking both her and bakugo who was in the bed

“What are you doing here?!” izuku points at her

“Oh–it's you” she rolls her eyes which pisses him off even more

“Me?! You aren't allowed to see him, did you forget?!”

“The fuck do you think you are?” bakugo finally asked which made izukus eyes widen

“He's the guy I told you that's like–super jealous” she says “Ew, why the FUCK did they let you inside?!”

“Because–because I'm in your emergency contacts, whatever she told you she's lying” izuku tries to take a step forward but she stands up

“Take another step and I'm screaming for help, how–how dare you come back to us after what you did to me?” she whispers

“Huh?” izuku tilts his head in disbelief “You dare to say huh after what you did to her? You fucker”

“What–what did I do? What lie did she tell you!”

“I can't believe that you would ask that! You were the liar and manipulator” she points “God– fine, I’ll call the others and see how much of a manipulator I am” izuku glares as he takes out his phone

“We’re back!” Denki said as he opened the door for the others to bring the fast food

“We managed to keep lying to him and– oh fuck” the small blond with the lighting on his hair cursed

“Guys!” izuku calls out, his tired face finally showing a hint of a smile

“Please explain to camie how she's feeding him lies!”

His smile slowly fades as the others frown at him

“What lie? You're the one that took advantage of bakugou when they took a break from each other” mina crosses her arms “Huh? What? No! When they–kacchan came to me!”

“Stop calling me that name, only camie and dunce face can” bakugo glares

‘I miss you calling me kacchan’ is what the audio said…

Marriage, is the next step in their relationship

“I..this /isn't/ you. They're all lying to you” izuku grits out, tears threatening to fall. Why was he so sad about this? Why were all his emotions hitting him at once? It was clear bakugou had no idea what was happening

“They're not lying! How can I believe one ugly ass guy over 6 people huh?!” “Then I’ll call your mother or mine” izuku takes his phone out

“Fuck off, you jealous bitch, and to think you would choose a plush as ugly as that to give to me” bakugo grits out and izuku is too stunned to speak “Ka..kacchan” izuku tries to call out Kirishima places a hand on izuku's shoulder

“Come on man, stop bothering them”

“And clean your fucking face, you look ugly as fuck. Whoever’s an ass you end up dating and bothering, they better have their expectations on the floor!” bakugo laughs, izuku looks down in shame as the others in the room join him

“Yeah–I bet he has to pay them to even look at his annoying ass” camie cackles “Where’s my money for being his friend then? Ya know?” Hanta makes a money hand gesture to izuku and his hands begin to tremble as everyone's laugh muddles his head

The green hair grits his teeth before throwing the plush in the trash bin, small sparks fizzled in and out from his hair and the room was quiet again, the smaller boy walks up to the blond, glaring at the woman next to him, daring her to touch him

“Katsuki” izuku grabs bakugos hand and lightly grips it

“Listen. /Listen to me/ they are lying-” izuku managed to block a punch to his face with katsukis free hand

“Don't you dare to touch me, whore” “..whore?” izuku trails off and he glances around to see the others trying to hold their laugh

“I don't know what they told you–but maybe you always thought of me this way and you losing your memory made you lose that filter. I'm moving some of my shit back to mom, have fun” he says as he takes off his glove, takes his promise ring out, and throws it in the trash. He didn't want to do this

WHY was he doing this?! He needs to fight more! He needs to force the blond to look at his phone

“Talk to me when things don't start to make sense” izuku reminds and then points at everyone else “And fuck you all, I hope you when you know what she did to him you would realize how much of a mistake you all did”

“The only mistake I did was leaving him when I couldn't handle a relationship” She grits out “I don't care, now you can. Take care of him, okay?”

“I'm not a fucking baby” “Sure, fuck you all!” izuku gives them all the middle finger as he walks out of the room

Marriage was the next step in their relationship, maybe it was a good thing things came to a stop

Maybe he should've fought harder, stuck with him until the end and remembered everything

Izuku clicks the elevator button and takes a deep breath

He can't cry

Not here, not yet, to nobody

Maybe everything he said to izuku was something his head was bottling for years and he finally said it

He doesn't care

He can't care

His shaking hand slowly calls his mom

“ ‘Ma..” “Izuku! You're finally back?! Please visit when you feel better I'm going to prepare your favorite food”

“..ma..please..at home..pick me up at my house and–and help me pack”

There was silence and izuku let out a small sniffle

“I'm on my way, don't worry about anything, okay? I got you” “O-okay” “Its okay izu–you're okay”

“I'm not–and I don't think I will–for a while”

“..that's okay too”

We say it a lot but i get that Katsuki being grabbed, pushed or jumped on isn't new, cus we've seen it happen before, with a bunch of different characters, but the fact that it's Izuku doing it.... It is kinda of a big deal.

Not in the sense that it's going to impact the story or something or that tiny things like that are a big deal in of itself, but that their history has been changing and getting to a point where Izuku can just do these things to Katsuki without much thought or fear, and that other people recognize them as a proper duo. Y'know?

Yuppp and I'll never get over how happy it makes him that he can finally get to be close to his Kacchan T-T spacing out and talking to himself out loud about it, he is in so deep. And a really satisfying aspect of their development is that although it wasn't acknowledged by either of them, their duo-ism has always been there

Which makes All Might's encouragement for them to learn from each other and their acceptance of save to win, win to save that much more moving. Yesss two sides of a whole pushing each other to get better and finally coming together to strive towards the same goal <3333

[incompleteeclipse]

Finished the first chapter of my MHA Fantasy AU fic. Here's a sneak peak

Kacchan rolled his eyes and pointed at the stone wall. “You hafta look for the big stones that you can hold onto - no not that one, Deku.”

The whole thing took longer than Kacchan seemed to like. Throughout the climbing process he insulted him and called him names as he coached Izuku on where best to put his hands and feet and how to haul himself up. Izuku tuned everything out except for the instructions and focused on carefully going from the wall, to the lower branches, then steadily higher.

Eventually the two were as high as even Kacchan could admit was safe to go. Izuku sat closest to the trunk, arms wrapped around it but letting his feet kick as they dangled. The bark of the tree dug into his arms and cheek. Kacchan sat next to him further on the branch, squinting into the distance. Some of his hair had broke free from the tie, leaves and twigs entangled. Izuku ran a hand through his own curls and Kacchan mirrored him, shaking loose the vegetation. 

“Why are you in a tree, Kacchan?” Izuku asked after some time had passed.

“Hiding.”

“But you don’t hide from anything.”

“Damn right,” the boy straightened, chest puffing. “I’m not hiding cus I’m scared, I’m waiting for the others to get here so I can trick ‘em and scare them.”"

“They knew your lesson was going to end early today?”

“I told them ages ago. You would’a knew too if you bothered showing up to tutoring.”

Izuku wanted to say that him being there wasn’t entirely up to him. “Why do you want to scare your friends?”

Kacchan turned to glare at Izuku who met his gaze with his own wide eyed stare. “Because,” he drawled, “It’s funny. And I’m not going to hide behind a wall to do it like a stupid kid. No one’s gonna look for us in a tree, so we can get the drop on them.”

“We can?” Izuku kept his comment on how they were kids to himself. He liked that Kacchan was including him, even if scaring people wasn’t his idea of fun. 

“Of course we can. Keep up, Deku. You’re s'posed to be smart.”

Izuku blinked. “I am?” He didn’t think he was very smart.

“Well everyone is always saying it.”

“They are?” 

“If y’a keep asking stupid questions I’m going to push you!” Kacchan snapped.

“No, don’t!” Izuku gripped the trunk harder, heart racing. He wasn’t trying to be annoying he was just surprised and a little confused. Everyone couldn't think he was smart, because he wasn't. Not like Kacchan, who had lessons about everything almost every day. Knowing how to do laundry wasn’t nearly as cool as being able to read.

It looked like Kacchan was actually thinking about it, until the sound of approaching voices got their attention. They peered through a gap in the leaves to see three boys their age coming over the crest of the hill. The path was wide enough that Hashiga, Tesaki and Tsubasa could all walk in a row, bumping shoulders and laughing as they jostled each other.

With a glare and a finger to his lips, Kacchan began to lower himself with an impressive amount of stealth for someone his age. Izuku followed much more slowly, hoping his climbing inexperience wouldn’t accidentally ruin Kacchan’s joke.

“Bakugo said to meet him here.”

“Where is he then?”

When the three boys were standing underneath the tree and distracted by their arguing, Kacchan dropped with a guttural shout. Izuku watched as they all screamed and scrambled in opposite directions only to turn to stare in slack-jawed shock when Kacchan began to cackle. Izuku wasn't laughing, but when Kacchan looked up at him with a smug grin, he couldn’t help but smile back. 

When they realized they’d been the object of a prank Kacchan's friends crowded him with varying responses.

“Unfair, Bakugou!” Hashiga scowled, aiming to shove the other boy.

“How’d you get up there?” Tsubasa asked.

“You should do that to Deku, I bet he’d squeal like a girl!” Tesaki postured, like he hadn’t screamed the loudest out of all of them.

“Would not!” Izuku dangled from the bottom branch, legs kicking, chin tucked to his chest as he tried to judge exactly how far up he was before letting go.

Hu I'd liked to ask why do you like bakugou I don't know if you'd answered this before by all means ignore if you want. Its just bakuhou you know is kinda a jerk and a bully, this isn't hate I'm just curious! Cuz personally I don't like bakugou, I mean hea a jerk and only wants to be a hero to fight and he got sad cuz he was jealous of deku because he was better than him but he makes other people feel bad abt themselves so he got a taste of his own medicine. Pls answer

Alright so I would prefer not getting too deep about this because in my opinion it really isn’t that deep... And I don’t feel like I have to defend why I enjoy certain characters. But I do have a couple things I can say about it!

I have no issue with you not liking Bakugou, we all have different opinions and preferences when it comes to characters in shows! However, I do think you and me have very different interpretations of Kacchan’s behaviours. To me, Kacchan has shown very clearly that he admires All Might just as much as Izuku does. To Kacchan, All Might “always wins” and that is what Kacchan wants to do too. He has shown several times how quick on his feet he is and how he can handle crisis situations. And he got very upset when he felt that he was being in the way and a burden during the fight against OFA. To me, he puts extreme pressure on himself to preform well and be the best he can be. He dislikes losing and he does not want to be dependent on others. He wants to save the day, like All Might! I don’t feel like the reason Kacchan gets upset is because he’s jealous of Izuku for being “chosen” by All Might or something like that. I mostly think Kacchan is beating himself up for not being good enough. He just has a very... Aggressive way of expressing his emotions.

Yes, he is a bully and he is mean. But I gotta say, one thing in particular that I really like with MHA is how this is handled by the people around him. When I started watching the anime, I thought it was gonna be the usual. Kacchan was just gonna be the mean rival who everyone would root for even though he’s obviously being a dick. But no, the rest of the class just keeps poking fun at him and laughing at what an unneccessary douche he is! Kacchan is just... An angry teenager and of course his teenager friends are gonna roast the shit out of him for it! Cus they know it’s just how he is!

I just really like that Kacchan isn’t handled like a villian. And he keeps proving doubtful people wrong by doing good things and NOT buying into the villians’ bullshit. When the League Of Dorks asked him to join them, he was just like HAHA NO ARE U DUMB??? Because he’s not a villian! He’s just an angry teenager! And yes his smile looks mean but that’s because his face falls like that! He’s still trying to smile like All Might!

I totally get why you wouldn’t like Kacchan. My gf really dislikes him because he’s so mean! But I don’t know... I see him differently and I think his mean and angry behaviour is handled in a fun way. I like it! Then again, I’ve always liked characters like that... Vegeta is one of my favourites from DBZ so u know... Go figure...

Danger First Chapter 11

@pocketramblr It has been a very long time since the last instalment, but... Here we go!

(AO3)

.

As soon as Yagi and Midoriya were gone, Shouta picked up his phone and called Nezu. It took him an embarrassingly long time to hit the buttons right. Maybe he should take those painkillers more often.

"I don't get paid enough for this," he said, as soon as Nezu picked up.

Nezu tittered. "The paperwork for your raise is already underway."

.

The reprieve Mr. Aizawa had bought them only lasted so long. No one gathered by their door the next day, but they could all feel eyes on them when they sat down for a subdued lunch.

Izuku could especially feel eyes on himself, because all of his classmates were also looking at him.

"W-What are you all looking at me for?” he asked, ending his sentence with a nervous giggle.

“Well,” said Ashido, “you seem to notice when things are going to happen, so…”

That wasn’t untrue.

“Yeah!” said Kaminari, excitedly, standing up and slamming his hand down on the table.  “You’re like a canary in a coal mine!  Class 1-A’s early warning system!”

The class took a moment to stare at Kaminari instead.

“Didn’t those, like, die?” asked Hagakure.  “From inhaling poisonous gasses or something?”

“Oh.  Uh.  Yeah.  Sorry, Midoriya.”

“It-It’s okay!” said Izuku, waving his hands.  He felt another blush creeping over his cheeks.  “I mean, I’m not sure how accurate, or- or sensitive I am, though, so there’s, you know, I don’t know how much I’m actually noticing, I could be missing a lot, especially if--”  He cut himself off.  His heart felt like it had stopped.

“HEY, DEKU!”

Oh, so it was only the usual threat to his life.  Izuku looked over his shoulder to where, yep, there was Kacchan, pointing at him from the other side of the cafeteria.  He turned back around and buried his face in his hands.  

.

“The usual threat to his life, he says,” muttered En.  

“He did not say it out loud, he only thought it.”

“Thanks, Hikage.”

“What’s wrong with that boy?” asked Yoichi, frowning deeply.

“Anxiety.”

“It’s Super Anxiety.”

“Thanks, Hikage, but I wasn’t talking about Izuku.”

.

“ARE YOU IGNORING ME, CANON FODDER?”

He sure was going to die today, huh.  

“Who is he shouting at?” asked Uraraka around the spoon in her mouth.  

“I am unsure!” said Iida.  “It would appear he has mistaken us for someone he knows!”

Ashido made a face.  “Someone he knows that he’s calling ‘Deku?’  That doesn’t sound very nice.”

“Ha!  This is why 1-A is the superior class!  We would never have someone who behaved so uncouthly as to--”

Kirishima stood up.  “HEY, MAN, NO ONE HERE IS CALLED THAT!  I THINK YOU’VE GOT THE WRONG GUY?”  He looked down.  “Or do you think Deku might be a girl?”

“Sit down, you’re embarrassing us,” hissed Monoma.  

This, of course, cued Kacchan to sprint across the cafeteria, vaulting the tables in between.  He grabbed Izuku by the shoulder, dragged him out of his seat and spun him around.  “What d’you think you’re doing, Deku, goin’ off and fighting villains like you think you’re--  Wah!”

Uraraka had slapped Kacchan across the face, and, because he had let go of Izuku in response, he was now floating in the vicinity of the light fixtures.  Kacchan’s shocked expression transmuted into one of pure rage.  His glare at Izuku promised a world of hurt.

.

“No, seriously, what’s his problem?  Didn’t Izuku save his life?”

“I don’t know, but I do remember some tension at the school when we were still getting oriented in here,” said Nana, propping her chin up with her fist.  “Maybe it’s related to that?”

“Maybe it’s a tsundere thing,” suggested Hikage.  

“Seems sort of extreme for that,” said En.

.

“I will get a teacher!” said Iida, before a giant hand appeared in his way.

“Don’t bother,” said a new voice, belonging to the giant hand and a sporty-looking girl with a ponytail.  “Hey, Blasty, don’t forget what Mr. Vlad said about not using your quirk!”

“Does it look like I’m using my quirk, you big-handed--”

“Ah,” said Yaoyorozu, ignoring Kacchan’s rather crude response with enviable ease, “Kendo.  How are you?”

“Doing great,” said Kendo.  “Looking forward to seeing you guys pulling out all the stops to try and beat us.”

“Try?” exclaimed Monoma.  “More like succeed!  We have real experience now, after all!”

“Shut up, combover!” shouted Kacchan.  “You’re all gonna lose!  I’m aiming for the top and I don’t care about your crappy delusions!”

“Combover!” squawked Monomoa, hands coming up to cover his hair.  “You take that back!”

“Oh, you have an aggressive blond, too.”

Yaoyorozu sighed.  “I suppose we do.”

The awe Izuku felt at the situation (Bakugo, stuck floating) was sadly eclipsed by the crowd of people they’d gathered.  

“Erm,” said Kaminari, “is it just me, or are they all looking at us?”

“Of course they’re looking at you, moron!” yelled Kacchan from his place near the ceiling.  “They’re wondering how someone so idiotic could survive a villain attack!”

“I mean,” said a voice from the crowd, “that’s true.”  

A tall boy with purple hair shouldered his way to the front and tilted his head back to look at Kacchan.  

“We’re here to take a look at the competition.  But I’ve got to say, I’m disappointed if this is what kids in the hero course are like.”  He lowered his gaze to sweep across the 1-A table.  “Those of us who didn’t make it to the Hero course are stuck in General Studies and other tracks.  There’s quite a few of us, did you know that?  Depending on the results of the sports festival, they might consider transferring us into the Hero course.  I understand the reverse is also possible.  For a General Studies kid like me, this is the perfect chance to--”

“Oh!” interrupted Kaminari.  “That’s great, man!  We have an open seat.  You’ll be perfect.  You’re even purple.  You can replace the rancid purple guy we got rid of.”

“A much better purple than the last purple,” said Sero.  

“A MANLY purple,” added Kirishima.  

“A superior purple,” sparkled Aoyama

“Assuming he isn’t secretly a perv,” said Jirou.  

“He’s already had a longer clean conversation with us than the grape kid did,” Mina pointed out.

“What?” said the purple boy, wisely backing away.

“What a mad banquet of darkness,” mumbled Tokoyami.

Iida strode to the purple boy in an alarming, robotic sort of way.  “As vice-president of class 1-A, I would like to welcome you to the hero course!”  He punctuated his greeting with hand chops. 

.

“That’s kind of premature,” said Nana, “isn’t it?  It sounds like he has to do well in the competition, first.”

“Ha!” said Banjo.  “I think he’ll do just fine.  He’s clearly primarily motivated by spite.”

“So, all he needs to make a win possible is friendship and anxiety,” said Yoichi, nodding gravely.  “He will surely be the greatest obstacle to Izuku’s nonetheless inevitable victory in the sports festival.  Later, he will become an invaluable ally.”

“Are you basing this off some manga you read, or…?”

“Off my observations of our lives.”

“Ah.  Continue, then.”

“Gladly!”

.

“Uh, guys?” said Uraraka.  When Izuku turned to look at her, her face was slightly green.  “I’m not sure how much longer I can keep him up there…”

This was when Kacchan reached the light fixture, put his feet against it, and shoved off, rocketing straight for Izuku.  Izuku bolted.  This was, apparently, the correct decision, because Kacchan bolted right after him.  

Sadly, Izuku’s daily runs focused more on endurance than speed and agility, and Kacchan was fast.  Although maybe that was just the lack of gravity to slow him down.  Either way, Izuku didn’t make the first corner, Kacchan slamming into him and pinning him against the opposite wall.  

“Alright, you quirkless twerp,” growled Kacchan, “I don’t know who you bribed to get in here, but let’s get one thing straight, I’m better than you.”

.

“Okay, you know what I said about bribery?  I take it back.  I don’t want to have the same opinion as this kid.”

“HA!” crowed Yoichi, pointing at Banjo.  “That’s right, Izuku got in on his own merits.”

.

“You keep going like this, you dare keep standing in the same place I am, after I warned you to go someplace else, then at the sports festival…”  Kacchan straightened and leered down at Izuku.  “I’ll crush you.  I’ll mess you up so bad that no one will ever mistake you for a hero.  So, why don’t you run away, you crybaby freak?”

.

“Holy crap,” said Banjo.  

“Seconded,” said En.

“What?” called Second, from where he and Third were still sulking.

“No one’s talking to you!” Yoichi shouted back, throwing an imaginary brick at them.  It unraveled before it got halfway to them.

“UA has really declined if they’re letting people like this in,” said Nana.  “I’m glad Toshinori is here to clean it up.”

“Look, I love Eighth, too,” started Yoichi.

“What?” called Second, again.

“Since when have we called you Two?  Go away!  As I was saying, I also love Eighth with all my heart--”

“Do we have hearts?” asked Hikage.

“It’s a metaphor.  Eighth is great for cleaning up corruption on the streets - even in the government and police force, sometimes! - but he’s… let’s say, under-equipped for the educational world.”

“I don’t want to hear that from someone who’d never seen a teacher before.”

“I’ve seen teachers before!”

.

Izuku gritted his teeth even as his lips wobbled… and tears started running down his face… and some snot, too…  Okay, he was a mess.  Still, he twisted so he could grab Bakugo’s wrist and squeezed.

According to the grip strength test in the quirk assessment, his grip strength was above average.

“S-someone,” he said, “someone told me I could be a hero, and that’s w-why, that’s why I’m not going to run away just because you said so!  I’m going to be here, no matter what, Kacchan!”

Kacchan’s face darkened.  “You--”

Kacchan was pulled back.  Izuku’s friends had caught up with them.  

“Chasing someone down in the hall?  This is just the kind of rude, uncivilized behavior I’d expect from someone in class B!”

“Not to agree with Monoma,” said Hagakure, “but, yeah!  Apologize to Midoriya!”

“What are you?  An invisible gorilla?  Get off before I--”

“And that’s enough of that,” said Mr. Aizawa, coming into view, his hair floating.  Iida was behind him, chopping at the air with both hands.  “Bakugo.  Monoma.  Hagakure.  Midoriya.  Let go of each other.”

Hagakure, Monoma, and Izuku all let go of Kacchan at the same time.  Unfortunately, Kacchan was unbalanced enough that their hold on him and his grip on Izuku were the only things keeping him up.  He fell down.  He had not let go of Izuku.  Hagakure, Monoma, and the other 1-A members who had made it to the hall, rushed to support Izuku, and then… 

Well, it was a bit of a scramble.  

.

“This is just painful to watch,” said Nana.  

“Funny, though,” said En.  “I hope someone steps on the blond kid again.”

.

When they finally managed to straighten themselves out, Mr. Aizawa looked much like he had immediately following Izuku and Mr. Yagi’s explanation about One for All.  That is, he looked like he was seriously questioning his life choices.  

“Yaoyorozu, Kendo,” said Mr. Aizawa.  “Explain to me what happened here.”

Izuku braced himself for detention.  He’d thought he was doing so well, too!

.

Izuku did not get detention.  Huh.  

.

Shouta stepped into his empty classroom and picked the nearest security camera.  “Forget the raise, I want an investigation into Aldera Middle School.”  He’d meant to look into it before now, but he also hadn’t meant to get beaten to a pulp by a bunch of crazy villains, one of which may have had his dead best friend’s quirk.  

“You are allowed to have both, you realize,” said Nezu over the intercom.  

But did he deserve both, that was the question.  

“I know what you’re thinking,” said Nezu.  “If it helps, think of it as less of a raise, and more of a stipend for the therapy you will need!”

“Why would that help?”

.

They filed onto the field for heroics several minutes before the class was due to start.  Izuku hoped that those minutes would be enough for him to calm down.  His heart was still going rabbit-fast.  

“Are you sure you do not need to go to Recovery Girl?” asked Iida.

“Yeah, that was pretty…”  Uraraka trailed off.  “It was scary.  I didn’t think there’d be anyone here like that.”

“You mean anyone with a steamed turd masquerading as a personality?” asked Kaminari.  “There’s hot-headed, and then there’s villainous, and I know what side of the line that guy was on.”

“K-Kacchan’s not a villain!  He- He’ll be a great hero,” said Izuku, shoulders slumping.  “Someday.”

The silence was oppressive.  And possibly judgemental.  

“So, you all agree with me, then, that we need to absolutely crush 1-B in the sports festival?” asked Monoma, flicking imaginary dust off his suit.  

“Well, sure,” said Hagakure.  “But there’s only one winner.  We’re going to be competing against each other.”

“Oh, contrary, my friend--”

“It’s au contraire,” said Aoyama.  

“Sure,” said Monoma.  “There’s only one winner for the final event.  The other two?  Not so much.  I say we use that to our advantage!  Show 1-B - and especially that cretin Bakugo - our unity and conviction!  Prove to them that we are the superior hero students!  We will reign supreme over the first two events of the sports festival.”

“That’s a freakishly hypercompetitive way to put it,” said Kaminari, “but he’s got a point.”

“Of course I do!  We just need to make a plan and victory will be ours!”

“How are we supposed to do that?” asked Sero, crossing his arms and tugging slightly at his elbows.  “The events are secret until the day of.  If we don’t know what we’re going to be doing, we don’t even know if we can cooperate.  The events are random every year!”

“We might not know what the events are exactly, but there’s- there’s a pattern,” said Izuku.  He’d never really thought about the kinds of events too deeply, but he’d watched and analyzed the UA sports festival for years and years.  “The first event is always kind of a free-for-all, with everyone from our year.  It’s supposed to eliminate most of the competition, usually only the hero course and a few others get in.  Then, the second event is usually something team based, like a relay or a game.  The final event is the only one where individuals go head-to-head, because that’s when you need a clear winner and runners-up.”

“Exactly, Midoriya, exactly!  Who’s with me?”

“I’m in,” said Kaminari.  There was a smattering of other agreements.  

Izuku wanted to say yes, but…  He glanced over at Uraraka and Iida.  He wasn’t the only one.  Uraraka caught his eye and elbowed Iida.  His armor made a hollow clanging noise and Uraraka hissed and held her elbow.  

“Uraraka, are you--?”  She jerked her head at him.  “What?”

“You’re kind of the rules guru, man,” said Kaminari.  “I think most of them are waiting to hear what you have to say.”

“Oh!  Yes!  Teamwork is an important part of heroism!  I cannot imagine that they would ban us from cooperating to attain success!”

“I agree,” said Yaoyorozu.  

“Y-yes!” said Izuku.  “Me, too!”

From there, everyone else agreed.  Except for one student.  Todoroki stood apart from the group, facing away from them.  

“Todoroki!” called Monoma.  “Will you join us?”

Todoroki looked back at them, coldly.  “I’m going to win myself, without anyone else’s power.”  He turned away again, the wind picking up a few stray leaves and blowing them across the space in between them.  

“Wow,” said Kirirshima, “manly.”

.

“I don’t understand how that kid thinks.”

“I don’t think you understand how anyone thinks.”

Yoichi frowned.  “That’s just unnecessary.”  

“Isn’t he just gay?” asked En.  

“That does seem to be the easiest explanation,” agreed Hikage.

“That can’t be it,” said Yoichi, “I’m gay.”

“I thought you were bisexual,” said Nana.

“I thought he was ace,” said Banjo.  

“...I contain multitudes.”

.

Izuku hung back after school for extra training with Mr. Yagi.  Working with Gran Torino had helped a lot, but Float was still difficult for him to turn on and off at will.  He could do it, but he was slow.  

He did like the grappling hook, though.  

He liked it a lot. 

(He really needed to go talk to Hatsume and thank her for the literally life-saving piece of equipment.  Especially with the sports festival coming up… he had some ideas…)

The gym they were in was designed with base three-dimensional mobility quirk training in mind.  High ceiling, lots of things to grab onto, various optional obstacles, but everything was padded.  Quirks that needed a lot of space to reach their full potential rarely got a lot of practice.  ‘Private property’ was usually a confined space.  Especially in a city.  

Even so, Izuku was feeling…  Inadequate.  

“You’re making wonderful progress, young Midoriya.  You’ve had this quirk for less than a month.  Give yourself time.”

“But I’ve seen videos of your teacher!” said Izuku, trying to propel himself towards the wall.  “She could fly.”  He managed to flip himself upside down, but did not move horizontally.  “Fast.”

.

“Wasn’t that just--”

“The stockpiled power?  Haha.  Yeah,” said Nana.  “I did love how it improved my quirk.”

“Wait a second,” said En, rolling off the throne he’d constructed for himself.  “If Nine doesn’t have access to the enhanced versions of your quirks now, what’s going to happen when he does get the stockpile?  Will his head just explode from the anxiety?”

“Super anxiety.”

“Hikage, if you don’t have something productive to say,” started Banjo, half jokingly, half threateningly.  

“I believe he does have the enhanced version of my quirk,” said Hikage.  “As for Float…”  He shrugged.  

“You’d better not be implying anything about my quirk,” said Nana.  She sighed.  “It has only been about a week since he got it.  Getting to the point where I could really move with it took a long time.”

“You can do it, Izuku!” cheered Yoichi.  “I believe in you!  Blow Nana’s time out of the water!”

.

“And she had her quirk for a lifetime,” said Mr. Yagi.  “Try to get upright again, and then see if you can drop and catch yourself.  Ah, I remember the first time I saw my teacher use something like that as a finishing move.  An ax kick from a couple of stories up.”  He shook his head.  “It was quite remarkable.  Ahem.  Not that you should try that without more training…  Or on your classmates at the festival…  We don’t need any maiming.”

.

“That guy had it coming,” said Nana.  

.

“Mhm,” said Izuku.  He turned Float off, and tried to switch it back on before he hit the ground.  He wasn’t quite able to reactivate it in time.  He sighed and picked himself up.  “At least this is good practice for falling.”

“So it is,” said Mr. Yagi.  He checked his clipboard, which contained a legal pad and a singular sheet of loose leaf covered in Gran Torino’s distinctive handwriting.  “Perhaps we should try some timed trials here on ground levels before we try that again.  Just Float on and off as quickly as possible.”

Izuku made a face.  He wanted to go faster, get better.  But he nodded easily enough and caught the timer Mr. Yagi threw at him.  

“Whenever you turn float off or on, hit the ‘lap’ button.  That should make it so all your times are recorded.”

“Okay,” he said, turning on both Float and the timer.  “Um.  Mr. Yagi?”

“Yes, my boy?”

“I was wondering, do you remember your first sports festival?”

Mr. Yagi frowned.  “You aren’t still worried about, erm…”  He rubbed the back of his neck.  “Living up to my overinflated reputation, are you?”

Izuku gasped.  “Your reputation isn’t overinflated!”

“Alas, everything about All Might is puffed up and full of smoke!”

Izuku forced back a giggle.  “It really isn’t about that,” he said, once he was more in control of himself.  “It’s…  We were thinking, there’s not a rule about helping each other in the first two events, right?”

“UA wouldn’t be terribly heroic to ban something like that.  I may seem to stand alone, but without my agency, I wouldn’t be able to do much hero work at all!”

Izuku nodded and started a new lap on the timer.  He had maybe five, so far.  

“Some of my classmates and I were thinking about working together,” said Izuku.  

“That sounds wonderful.”

“It is!  It’s just…  I don’t want to disappoint them.”

Especially not after Kacchan had reminded him of what he used to be.  Quirkless, useless, cowardly Deku who ran from fights.  

He didn't want to be that person anymore.

"Hm," said Mr. Yagi.  He sat down on a bench-shaped protrusion.  "When I was a student, they only broadcast the third years' competition."

Izuku nodded.  He knew that.  He'd spent long, fruitless hours trying to find videos of All Might's time at UA.  He hadn't been in the third year sports festival at all…  probably because of his mentor dying, if Izuku thought about it.

"I didn't do very well in the first two competitions."

"Wh-what?  No way!"  He fumbled the timer.  "Oops."

"Don't worry about it, just keep going.  It's good practice.  But, no.  I didn't do well.  I adapted to the strength of One for All quickly, but I still hadn't adjusted to having it."  He waved a hand.  "And All for One…"  He clasped his hands in his lap.  "I made a mistake in the second event that almost got my team disqualified."

"What happened?"

"Didn't occur to me to use my quirk when I should have."

.

Banjo laughed.  "I remember that.  The one kid couldn't believe he'd gotten a hit in.  He was so shocked."

"Yeah," said En.  "That's the only reason he could make up the points."

In the corner, Eighth's ghostly shadow pouted.  

.

"How did they…  your teammates, I mean, were they…  upset?"

"They were," said Mr. Yagi, "some of them were even a little upset at me, for that matter, but, hm.  How should I put this?"

.

"Toshinori," said Nana, mournfully, "you're making it worse.  How are you making it worse?"

"Someone stop that man," said Hikage, completely deadpan.  

"Someone needs to stop you."

.

"All of us tried our hardest," said Mr. Yagi, finally.  "There was no resentment.  We still got along just fine, afterward."

Izuku set his feet back on the ground.  "Are you still friends with any of them?"

"Well… no.  But not because of the sports festival!"

Unsurprisingly, this conversation had failed to reassure Izuku.  

"Regardless, you've already shown your classmates what you're made of!  They won't turn away from you over a hiccup!"

Also not really what he’d been worried about, but… Now he was!  So, that was fun.  

“There’s only ever one victor, in any case, and only sixteen students ever advance to the final event…  There’s always disappointment, I’m afraid.  It would be ridiculous to blame that on you.”

“Right,” said Izuku.  “Right.” He chewed on his lips, trying not to mumble, even though Mr. Yagi was certainly used to it by now.  “What, um, what were the events your first year?”

“Well,” said Mr. Yagi, “it started off with a race…”

.

Izuku curled up in the rolling chair at his desk, a bag of ice balanced on one knee and a hand gripper in his off hand.  His dominant hand was occupied with scrolling through his old digital notes on past sports festivals.  

Some of them were sort of… embarrassingly bad.  Maybe he shouldn’t judge a ten-year-old (even if the ten-year-old was himself) so harshly, but still!  

Well, regardless, past him had gotten the event information down for the more recent sports festivals.  It was too bad he couldn’t rewatch some of these, but that would take too long.  The sports festival was coming up fast.  He barely had time to look up older festivals, from before he started analyzing them.  

Luckily, he had help.  

His computer chirped, and his eyes flicked to the chat window.  

Earlier, more of the class had been on, but they’d slowly logged off as it got later or research got out of their comfort zone.  Kaminari was the one who got the chat and the shared file set up through their UA accounts.  Ashido and Hagakure had spent a lot of time going through UA’s social media announcements about the festival.  

But now it was just Izuku, Monoma, Uraraka, Iida, and Yaoyorozu.  

Izuku and Monoma were collating information about what events UA had done before and trying to find patterns in that.  Uraraka was watching through the last few events and marking down the different examples of cooperation between students.  Iida was going over all the rules and rulings made for past festivals, to make sure what they planned to do was allowed.  Yaoyorozu had started with helping Izuku and Monoma, but had branched out to follow other leads, like event popularity.  

Izuku thought it was a good division of labor.

Uraraka: Ive got the last festival done sending now

Uraraka: no idea the 2 years were so funny got to watch more

Monoma: You found the part with Togata Mirio I see

Monoma: His quirk is interesting but.  No.

Uraraka: That too!

Midoriya: OK so.

Midoriya: From what I can see, the first event cuts the numbers down to around forty or fifty students.

Uraraka: 42’s low and 50’s high

Midoriya: Might be a good idea to use that and get some allies from support or gen.

Like Hatsume.  The Support Course and Gen Ed Course could bring support gear into the events, according to Iida’s summary of the rules, as long as it was approved by the school beforehand.  Depending on what the events were, support gear could help a lot.  

Also, it seemed like something Hatsume would like, considering what she’d said about her ‘babies.’

Uraraka: Thats allowed?

Iida: Yes, it seems so.  

Izuku switched tabs and scanned through the spreadsheet for the first event.  Obstacle course, maze, scavenger hunt, rising waters, platformer, find the flag, dodgeball, rescue race, teacher tag, villain hunt, flag tag, the gauntlet…

Midoriya: Monoma, what’s the gauntlet?

Monoma: Basically dodgeball, but you’re between two fields of throwers

Monoma: It was audience participation

Monoma: Kinda old

Midoriya: Don’t think we need to worry about that one then.

Iida: That’s quite a few events.  Could we perhaps group them in some way?

Midoriya: Maybe? There’s races, finding things, musical chairs type things, battle royales between students, and going against teachers.  

Uraraka: I dnt know

Uraraka: the maze ones and the obstacle course are kinda similar in terms of being a race to finish but theyre also pretty different in what you need to be good at to win

That was a good point.  

Yaoyorozu: I think we can eliminate some events, based on what happened at the USJ.  UA has greatly emphasized increased security since the media break-in and the USJ incident.  I believe that limits the types of events they will consider for this year to ones where they can have clean lines of sight and quick access to competitors.

Uraraka: so no maze

Yaoyorozu: Probably not.

Midoriya: I think we can throw out anything that’s audience participation too.  

Midoriya: Also the finding hidden stuff ones and the rescue-based ones.

Iida: Why those?

Izuku cringed and started typing.  Yaoyorozu probably already realized this, from what she had written before, but she hadn’t mentioned it earlier.  Although maybe she just hadn’t gotten to saying it yet.

Midoriya: Well…  Hate to say it but we never really made up the USJ rescue training.  

Midoriya: If UA is trying to seem stronger they won’t show our weak points.  Does that make sense?  Not that I think they should do that but…

Izuku pushed back from his desk slightly and chewed on his thumbnail.  It did make sense, didn’t it?  Maybe he shouldn’t have said that…

Yaoyorozu: I agree.  I believe that we are more likely to have something like the obstacle course, one of the limited spaces games like rising waters, or one of the ones with teacher participation.  

Midoriya: I think rising waters is out because Aquarius isn’t part of the staff anymore although I guess she could come back for the event?  Or have some kind of substitute?

Rising waters was a ‘musical chairs’ event UA had been an average of once every four years since Aquarius joined the staff.  The stage would be a bunch of pillars, with the top of each one just wide enough for a person to easily stand on.  At the beginning, students would start at the lowest level and there would be more than enough room for everyone, but then Aquarius would slowly start to draw water up onto the stage, until only the highest pillars were clear.  

Of course, if you touched the water you were out.

Since they started doing rising waters, they hadn’t done any of the other ‘musical chairs’ games, instead swapping it out with obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, tag and dodgeball.  

Yaoyorozu: That would be a reasonable conclusion.

Monoma: Makes sense.  What’s your guess for what will happen though?

.

Most years, lunch time was good for naps and paperwork.  All the students were out of the classroom, it was quiet, and Shouta could work on whatever he wanted. 

Alas.  This year was proving to be an exception.  

First the break in (probably caused by the League of Villains), then the nosy other classes, then Bakugo actually assaulting Midoriya (Kan either needed to get that kid to grow up or expel him), and now this.  All of 1-A, with the exception of Todoroki, had decided to eat in the classroom.  

(Not that he could blame them.)

He shuffled some of the papers in his sleeping bag around, mostly old school records for Midoriya and Bakugo that he’d been meaning to go over, but would probably have to wait for later.  If the kids were going to be in the classroom, he’d better keep an eye on them.  Or an ear.  

Yeah, they were just getting an ear.  

“Alright,” said Yaoyorozu.  “Everyone give your orders and money to Iida, Shoji, Uraraka, and Hagakure.”

“I- I can carry things, too,” volunteered Midoriya.  

Shouta had no doubt that Midoriya could carry plenty of lunches.  But he'd also been a target.  Keeping him out of the way was smart.  

"Yes, but you need time to set up your presentation."

"Oh, right!  Um."  Footsteps approached.  "Mr. Aizawa, is it alright if I use the projector?"

Shouta almost said 'knock yourself out,' but he luckily remembered who he was talking to.  "Go for it," he groaned.  

"Wow," said Ashido, "he even sounds like a mummy today."

Teenagers.  Which reminded him: "No inappropriate pictures, right?"

"T-they're all from the official sports festival releases, so…"

Sports festival?  Shouta resisted the urge to laugh.  So, his students were turning one of Kan's favorite sports festival strategies against him and working together as a class?  The rivalry was largely in Kan's head, but…  Sometimes it was nice to gloat.  Tastefully, of course.  While reminding him that Shouta hadn't suggested it at all.  

But he’d wait until the sports festival itself to actually do that.  No need to tip the man off.  

Back to Midoriya’s question.

With effort, Shouta pried his eyes open.  "Don't tell me you found the instant nudist."

"I- um.  Well, it's… yes?"

"Is everything pixelated?"

"Yeah.  Um, I mean, yes.  Yes, sir.  It’s in-- It’s not in mine, it’s in Uraraka’s, and it’s only to illustrate a point about cooperation--"

.

“Did he just try to throw his friend under the bus?”

“No,” said Yoichi, “of course not!”

“Sounded a lot like it.”

“We have a direct link to his subconscious, we know that isn’t what he meant to do.”

.

"Great," said Shouta, closing his eyes and rolling over.  

“Thank you!”

There was some shuffling and arguing about what wire went where, but by the time the four who went out to get lunch were back, Midoriya’s presentation was up and running, the projector whirring in the background.  

“O-Okay!” said Midoriya.  “The sports festival! I’m, um, I’m.  I’m going first.  To present our predictions.  Monoma and Yaoyorozu really helped a lot with this, and- and then Uraraka will talk about past cooperation in sports festivals, and Iida will talk about rules.  Which… You already knew that would happen even without a presentation.”

It was a good thing there was a public relations class at UA, but Shouta could admit the joke was funny despite Midoriya’s obvious nerves.

“Based on our analysis of past sports festival events, we believe that for the first event, the most likely activities are either an obstacle course race or one of two versions of teacher tag.  The obstacle course is the more straightforward option and it was last done two years ago.  It usually involves physical obstacles like climbing walls made by Cementoss, or robots or other things made by the support teachers.  With teacher tag, on the other hand, we need to either tag or avoid being tagged by teachers.  Which, um…”  

Shouta got the impression everyone in the class was looking at him.  The gremlins were afraid of him.  Good.

But Midoriya had to work on his volume.  The stuttering had eased up, but the presentation was turning into a muttering session near the end there.

“Is an obvious challenge.  Both emphasize speed and combat.”

“Combat?” echoed Kaminari.  “The tag I get.  Well, if dodging is combat.  But the race?”

“In most race events you’re allowed to use your quirk against your opponents,” said Midoriya.  “The tag events are usually flag tag.”

“Oh,” said Kaminari.  “Makes sense.”

“The second event is harder to pin down.  Past examples are cavalry battles, dance battles, tug-of-war, capture the flag, king of the hill, and relays.”

“Dance battles?  Sign me up for that one!”

Midoriya laughed nervously.  “Yeah.  However, if we have the obstacle race or the tag version where we’re avoiding the teachers, we probably won’t run into relays, but have something more obviously combative, like the cavalry battle.  On the other hand, the version of tag where we’re chasing the teachers usually leads to a rescue or captive-delivery relay or race, with the teacher playing the dummy.”

Ah, yes.  Shouta had done one of those his first year teaching.  He was very glad Nezu had decided they weren’t doing it this year so the teachers could focus more on security.  It was difficult enough to deal with when the students did have rescue training.  With this batch…

No.  

Next year, maybe.  

Probably not.  

Although, come to think of it, Shouta’s current injuries would have precluded him from participating regardless.  He spared a moment of sadness for the loss of a perfectly good excuse.

“Either way, we’re all pretty sure that the last event will be one-on-one direct combat.  Probably a single-elimination tournament.”

“You don’t sound too happy about that,” said Hagakure.  

“That’s because we aren’t,” said Yaoyorozu.  “But we have talked it over, and we think that it is the most likely scenario.  As for why…”

“It boils down to UA needing to save face and single combat is the most popular event, even though it’s kind of…”  Midoriya trailed off.  

“Ooh,” said Ashido.  “I hear some salt behind that.  Spill it!”

“It’s- It’s dangerous,” said Midoriya, finally.  “More people get seriously hurt during that event than any of the others.  And- and we made our guesses for the events based on patterns from the past, what’s best for security, what we’ve actually been trained for, and what’ll serve UA’s PR, but that leaves, um.  It’s combat and speed heavy.  Spotlight stuff.”

“Fighting is what heroes do,” said Sato.  

“I know!  But there’s also underground heroes like- like Mr. Aizawa, or heroes that focus on investigation, like Sir Nighteye, or rescue heroes like the Wild Wild Pussycats.  Usually, there’s at least a nod to the other types of heroics in the sports festival, so those agencies can assess interns, too.”

“Which is why Monoma and I believe the second type of teacher tag is the most likely first event,” said Yaoyorozu.  “The rescue relay does represent some aspects of rescue heroics.”

“Yes,” said Midoriya, with the air of someone who had argued about the subject extensively, “but--”

The intercom crackled to life.  “Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, Monoma, Iida, and Uraraka, please report to the principal’s office.”

[izusun]

i just woke up in a cold sweat cus i realized bakudeku is that couple where when bakugou’s like “if you walk out that door we’re DONE” izuku angrily climbs out the window with his middle fingers up; and when mido turns to baku like “you WALK out that DOOR and this relationship is OVER, bakugou.” bakugou stops, drops and rolls out the front door, stands at the doorway flipping deku the bird and then storms off.

HELP AHDJSJKWKSKA

okok i sound like a broken record but im fr sorry for answering this so late aahhh

THIS IS SO CANON IM GONNA LEVITATE

no because this is exactly how i imagine them when they’re fighting like

imagine one of them gets hurt right and they’re keeling over and they’re literally wrapped up from head to toe and they’ve been advised, doctor’s orders, not to move lest they aggravate their injuries. but in true bakudeku fashion, they simply do not listen to the doctor.

midoriya, mummified, stands up to prepare for work when his beloved kacchan stops him and says “if you walk out that door we’re done” so he attempts to crawl out instead. bakugou intercepts and gently hauls him back to their bed.

the next time he broke his arm after a tussle with a villain, bakugou tries to stop his ass from leaving. “but kacchan! i want to help!”

“deku i swear to god if you walk out that shit door, we’re through.”

midoriya pauses before he unleashes full cow to yank the window open, slides out gracefully, then turns to bakugou to thrust his middle finger at him (the one from the arm that’s held by a cast), swore a bit at the pain, then summersaults away.

bakugou doesn’t even check on him because 1)he knows mido’s fine and 2)he’s having a crisis bc he loves midoriya so much but he’s getting exhausted from trying to stop midoriya’s injured ass. like yesterday after shower, he was so damn sure that was grey hair amidst his blond and the stress isn’t just because of the villains, but also because of midoriya.

ANOTHER ONE I IMAGINE, AND THIS IS SENDING ME FOR SOME REASON, but bakugou going “you walk out that door and i swear to god deku, i swear to all might, even, that i’m moving out.” AND YK BAKUGOU MADE EXTRA MEASURES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WINDOWS ARE SEALED AND THAT MIDORIYA CANT USE THEM ANYMORE BUT HE SHOULDVE KNOWN THE LENGTHS HIS BOYFRIEND IS WILLING TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE THE NEXT THING HE KNOWS IS MIDORIYA JUST PUNCHING THE WALL TO MAKE A HOLE AND WALKS OUT FROM IT, ALL THE WHILE SMILING HIS HERO SMILE AT BAKUGOU AND BAKUGOU’S ABOUT TO DETONATE HENWJSKAM

okok but imagine bakugou’s HAHSJAHA

midoriya tried preparing recovery food for bakugou when he noticed bakugou’s opening the window slowly and quietly, trying to escape.

“bakugou katsuki,” midoriya growls out and bakugou freezes because oh shit my full name and turns to look at midoriya who’s scowling, looking ferociously cute with his glare and his yellow frilly apron. “what are you trying to do?”

“pull off a deku, the fuck you think,” bakugou easily replies then jumps out the same window that midoriya jumped out from. midoriya tries to unleash black whip to pull bakugou back in but bakugou’s always been fast so he missed.

AND THE ROLLING HBSHSJAHS

“kacchan please just rest.”

“deku, look, i love you like fuck. but i need to get out there and just throw a punch at handy mcfuck real quick-“

“no. if you walk out that door, you’re sleeping on the couch.”

“…fine.” it’s not fine so bakugou simply stops, drops, and rolls. which midoriya could intercept and bakugou knew that so he fired off a mini explosion enough to rock himself forward faster and kicked midoriya lightly to disengage him from the door and safely makes it out.

OKOK BUT BAKUGOU BEING BY THE DOOR WHEN MIDORIYA COMES RUNNING FROM THEIR WORKOUT ROOM, SWEATY AND ANGRY.

“kacchan, if you walk out that door, i swear-“ but he doesn’t even get to finish because bakugou fires off his quirk and flies out, leaving soot behind.

midoriya uses flight to catch up to bakugou.

THIS IS TERRIBLY FUNNY IM GONNA CRYMLMAODISOS

[lollybliz]

bout to make a Monster of a fic rec post here we go

heyo @jinx108! We’ll start with the complete ones because sometimes you’re just not in the mood to wait for the last chapter, you know? I don't remember details of all of these so i’m just going to copy the author’s summary rather than write my own. I am literally just going through my bookmarks, I got 400 of these to sort through. if ive talked to or am familiar with the author im gonna mention them, but if I mention you and you don't want me to have Please tell me and i’ll remove it.

If you’re not into spoilers Please Tread Carefully, I don't watch out for that stuff so I wont know to label it

1>Crushing Truth by Bunzuku: Tododeku. “Romance is hard enough for a teenager to understand when they have a good relationship role model. For Shoto, it takes two excited meddlers for him to even realize what his feelings really are.“

2>Disowned by b00mgh: tododeku + others. Unrated, some traumatic elements. “Shouto freaks out under a bridge and I use the word "grass" a lot more than I really should. Izuku does his stupid martyr thing and everyone makes continuous references to his propensity to break his bones. Aizawa goes "oh FUCK my kids are dying again" and his students use him as emotional (and physical) support. A friend requests angst, I say what kind, she say idk make someone get disowned and i say oh this I can absolutely provide my good buddy.”

3>cotton candy hands by @chonideno: Kiribaku. I will take Any excuse to rec this fic, its the most fluffy pile of feels Good Lord. also the first fic I ever bound into a physical book. “Studying to become a hero requires knowing how to take care of yourself. Sometimes you might need help on the way so if your crush offers to do your hair for you or to give you a well-deserved back rub, it'd be stupid to say no. A series of soft vignettes in which a love-struck Kirishima and a touch-starved Bakugou care for each other and it's definitely not making their hearts jump through hoops, they’re never this close to kissing, no, they're totally best friends bro“

4>Catching Sight of the Storm by neo7v: Kiribaku, tododeku. A considerable amount of Whump and related angst, and kinda sad tbh. “Blind. Quirkless. Useless.The first two things were stated clearly by the doctor that sat about five feet in front of Izuku. The third was a word that Kacchan called him everytime he failed to make the jump on whatever forest excursion they were on or when he ran into a tree because he hadn’t seen it. “I’m so, so sorry, Izuku.” Was his mom giving up on him already? But he could still be a hero if he tried hard enough, right? Quirkless or not. Blind or not. Just because Izuku was useless now didn’t mean he would stay that way forever, right? *** A Blind!Izuku AU”

5>Yell Heah by fakecharliebrown: Chatfic. M a n y pairings. technically complete, but part of an ongoing series. “Iida creates a group-chat for Class 1-A. It doesn't go as planned.“

6>Sunshine by Rosey_Note: BIG SAD. tw- failed suicide attempt. KiriKamiBaku. “They didn't deserve to put up with his crappy mood. Because Denki Kaminari did not feel like Sunshine right now. And they deserved sunshine. In fact, Denki didn't feel much of anything right now.“

7>Electric Connection by  Onlymostydead: ShinKami. “Kaminari's quirk has always had... Weird side affects. Like his ADHD. And his constant energy. And his insomnia, which wouldn't leave him be right now, when he really needed to just get some sleep. But, thankfully, he has good friends.“

8>The Best (The Worst) by Onlymostydead: no romantic pairing. tw- rampant transphobia, both outside and internalized. “Bakugou Katsuki has known who he was since he was four years old. He was a boy, it was as simple as that. Around his friends, at school... But things couldn't just be that simple, could they?“

9>Lichtenberg Figures by Q_loves_you: no definite romantic pairing. “Kaminari Denki has a very powerful force of nature running through his body. Kaminari Denki doesn't want to hurt anybody. He doesn't always get what he wants, and "anybody" does generally include himself.“

10>Eventuality by KikaTouka: ill be honest I don't remember this one at all, I maaaay not have read it yet :/. anyway. ShinKami. “Shinsou learns more than just hero lessons after being transferred to 1-A.“

11>Pickup Lines for the Soul by MustardSoup: ShinKami. “Denki is twelve when he is flicking through the TV channels and lands on an old RomCom movie about soulmate marks – specifically the same type that he has. “I can’t believe I’ve had to walk around with a cheap pickup line written on my ankle my entire life because of you!” The leading lady yells at the leading man as he stares at her in awe. Denki laughs. “Oh no.” His mother says, watching him. “Oh no, indeed.” His sister repeats quietly.“

12>caught in my own web by @anxioussailorsoldier: ShinKami. “Shinsou needs some help after getting caught up in his capture weapon. Kaminari enters from stage left.“

13>not so summer love by nataliya: ShinKami. “Class 2-B’s common room, although typically quiet, was currently filled with five students—three slowly giving up on homework, one bitching about noise and another that rushes through the front door. “We’ve been waiting for you—” Mina starts, but Kaminari’s vaulting over the back of the couch, eyes wide as he practically buzzes out of his skin, emitting light like crazy as currents dazzle across strands of hair. “I have a big ugly crush,” He steps off the couch and onto the coffee table, much to Bakugou’s chagrin, “On big ugly Shinsou.””

14>Blamed by coldandhotsoba: ShinKami. Tw- they fuckin kill a guy and its a lil nasty. “This was not how the day was supposed to end. They were supposed to end the day like they do most nights.  Kaminari clutching onto him like a koala as he slept, wrapped in the millions of tacky blankets Kaminari had bought. Warm and safe in their bed. It was not supposed to end with both of them tied up in some cold metal room.“

15>Lightning Scars by Present-Mics-Scream (write_your_way_out): Shinkami. “It's hard to be confident in your abilities when you're surrounded by people with incredible quirks. Shinsou Hitoshi would know better than anyone. Sure, he was admitted to the hero course in his second year, but being admitted to the hero course, and keeping up with the rest of the class are two different things. Lucky for him, Kaminari is there to prove that the flashiest quirks come with the largest drawbacks.“

16>See No Evil, Hear No Evil by randomfan188: no romantic pairing. “Kaminari Denki is legally blind. When he forgets to wear his contacts and breaks down during math class, comfort appears in the strangest of ways.“

17>how not to enjoy the weather, an article by kaminari denki by dreamtowns: no defined romantic pairing. “If there was one thing Kaminari hated the most in a world wth villains, it would have to be thunderstorms.“

18>”Studying” by emmyrox22: ShinKami, EraserMic. “Shinsou and Kaminari have been “studying” together for a while (but not for school). Shinsou gets stopped by his dads on the way to another “study” session and mistakes are made“

19>Weaknesses by sunflowerstorm: ShinKami. “Kaminari's quirk and storms compliment each other in the worst way, but he's convinced he can deal with it on his own... until he really can't any longer. When Shinsou accidentally overhears Aizawa confronting Kaminari about recent changes in behaviour and hears about the hell his quirks been putting him through, he can't just pretend he never heard. He wants to help.“

20>it’s hurt denki hours by memeingfultrash: ShinKami + others. ““Certain members of our class are...under the impression that...you’re the traitor.” Denki’s body went cold and felt like he was going to short circuit. ~some of class 1a believes that denki is the traitor and avoid him”

21>Petition to replace Mineta with Shinsou- (signed by Kaminari Denki) by CharaTheQuartz: ShinKami + others. This is one of my favorites, I go back to reread it from time to time. It SAYS 41/42, but that's just a glitch cus chapter 36 doesn't exist for some reason, I talked to the author about it and its fine. “Mineta brings shame to the color purple. You know who does not bring shame to the rich color, but pride and sexual tension to one infatuated Kaminari Denki instead? Shinsou Hitoshi, aka sexy zombie man, aka the most perfect hunk of a man to walk planet earth, aka future husband. Shinsou has finally gotten his chance to prove himself to the hero course, and he did more than prove himself. The only question left unanswered is whether he will start in A or B, and how Kaminari can manipulate the end result.“

22>How to Get a Boyfriend (in Four Easy Steps!) by e1ana: ShinKami, EraserMic, + others. “Step 1: Get kicked out of the house by your homophobic parents. Step 2: Run headfirst into your brooding, mysterious crush. Step 3: Sleep in his dad’s (see: your homeroom teacher) house Step 4: Watch everything you thought you knew go to shit. This isn’t exactly the sweet, romantic plan that Kaminari Denki longed for. Will everything be ok, or will step 5 be to crash and burn?“

23>Bakugou and Todoroki’s Foolproof 5-Step Plan to Fuck with Mineta Minoru by Anubis_2701: Kiribaku, TodoDeku, + others. This is another one of my favorites, and the one I am currently folding and sewing into a physical book. you learn how to do funny things when bored and quarantined ig. “It was a simple enough idea; screw around with the resident bastard of Class 1-A to let him know that his medieval ways and perverted behaviour weren't going to be tolerated by even the most career-focused of UA's students. To say that things had snowballed was an understatement. Todoroki had no idea how he had ended up sitting on Bakugou's floor at 1 am, holding a dossier of incriminating material that would make the FBI slobber, but he wasn't sure he wanted to know. The long and short of it was, fuck Mineta.”

24>Colour Theory by chancellorxofxtrash: TodoBakuDeku. this one’s a series. “Midoriya/Bakugo/Todoroki slow burn soulmate AU. All three of them are nerds with their own emotional issues, trying to navigate their way through becoming heroes, and their own relationship with each other.“

25>Summer Sunshine by Mara97: TodoDeku. Ever want a Barbie in a mermaid tale/Bnha crossover? No? well here you go anyway! “Instead of worrying about college, Izuku spends his summer vacation finding out his father is, supposedly, a dead merman king and going on a quest to dethrone the current king, Endeavor. Along the way, Izuku becomes close to the three journeying with him, makes friends with strangers, starts crushing on an unattainable prince, and, in the end, learns to love himself. Oh, and he saves a kingdom, too.“

26>The snowflakes on our skin and the flames in our soul are one (and the same), my love by missunderstuffyou: TodoDeku, Kiribaku. this is one of the ones I keep a running reread comment going on. its at,,, 6, atm.  “Before your quirk begins to present itself, the soulmate link comes through, and suddenly whatever you write upon your own skin appears on the body of your soulmate. As your soulmate writes to you, the emotions they feel follow through the ink.Izuku Midoriya is four years and a few months old when he first feels the slight ebbing in his arms. It doesn’t hurt… he can just feel something, and it’s enough to make him sprint into his mother’s arms screaming that his quirk is coming. She had been washing in the kitchen, and the sudden screech as her son rockets into her side is enough to make her jump with panic, immediately grabbing at him and looking for cuts and bumps before she understands his words and the stupidly bright, alight smile on his face with large, watery, hopeful eyes. Shoto Todoroki doesn’t feel his soulmate connection open up. It is drowned in the aches of a small body worked far too hard.“

27>It was dark inside the closet by Chad_Champion69420: Pre-ShinDeku? maybe? its tagged shindeku but like. it’ll make sense if you read it. “Midoriya is invited to a party. He and Shinsou decide to play a little trick on the rest of the party during Seven Minutes in Heaven.”

28>how to woo your local trash gremlin: a comprehensive guide by Todoroki shouto by wonhaebunny: TodoBaku. this is the fic that dragged me into todobaku, fun fact. “five times shouto tries to confess to bakugou, and one time he doesn't bother tryingaka: wikihow is a scam and bakugou is a terrible, terrible boy“

29>top ten photos taken right before disaster by Shookspeare: ShinDeku. “Izuku participates in a harmless prank, only to end up ruining it and running for dear life.“

30>Secrets to Share by pechebaie: no definite romantic pairing. “Kirishima comes out first, and nothing changes. Kirishima and Kaminari still hang out to complain about class and talk about boys - and sometimes girls, too, in Kaminari’s case; he still plans stupid pranks with Sero that get them sent to the principal’s or nurse’s office every time; Ashido still kicks his ass at Mario Kart without hesitation; and Bakugou doesn’t get angry at him any more than he usually does.“

31>What One Hides by Pinalinet: TodoDeku. “All Might gives class 1-A an unusual assignment that results in Midoriya Izuku and Todoroki Shouto attending a weekly acting class. But with a mysterious villain targeting individuals without Quirks, and a developing issue of Todoroki's own, an after-school assignment is the least of their worries.“

32>whether or not we’re fated, we’re meant to be by juurensha: KINDA SPOILERY. TodoDeku + others. “Todoroki didn’t have a soulmark for most of his life.His siblings all did, but up until the day of the U.A. entrance exam, he had shoved the idea aside. It’s not like they could help him anyway. And then a 9 appears on his chest, and a green-haired boy barrels into his life with a fire and ice soulmark on his arms, and suddenly Todoroki cares very much about all this could mean.”

33>The Midnight Shift by meiishu @meiishu @totallytodoroki (idk which you’d rather I attach so I went with both): ShinKami. ““Hey Toshi,” Denki says, and he laughs, clearly embarrassed. He’s got on a jean jacket that did him absolutely no help and a white tee shirt that is currently stuck to his torso. It’s got a pikachu design in the center. “By any chance, do you sell umbrellas?” “You really went out in this weather.” Hitoshi deadpans, instead of dignifying that with an answer. or hitoshi works the midnight shift at the gas station, which also doubles as a pokestop for pokemon go. of course, denki is a regular.”

34>Rock the House by AkabaneKayo: ShinKami. “It wasn’t just his bed. It was his entire fucking room shaking. Only one thought crossed his mind at that moment: “Holy shit. My room is haunted.”“

35>Technically, they’re morning kisses by CharaTheQuartz: ShinKami. “Most nights, Shinsou cannot fall sleep. Neither can Kaminari. It seems counterproductive to have a sleepover then, but they try to make it work. And they fail, but that is okay.“

36>someone to call mine by nearly_theyre: ShinKami, EraserMic “From: Me wish you were here, denks From: kitten 💛💘💛 what if i was tho? OR Four times Denki snuck into Hitoshi's room and one time he walked through the front door.“

37>Pretty by Onlymostydead (noticing some repeat authors? me too): no definite romantic pairing. “(Or, Kaminari still can't figure out bra clasps.) Kaminari has never really felt good about himself. Herself? Whichever way, not knowing doesn't make anything easier. Especially when he (she?) and Mina have their bodies swapped during training, and everything seems too right.“

38>If I offer you my hand, will you take it? by bleukitsune: Kiribaku. SPOILERY. ““Why?” Kirishima leaned back on his hands, trying to create some space between them. Too close. The ash-blond looked really nervous, his usually arrogant and cunning demeanor gone. “What do you see when you look at me? Kirishima is worried. Bakugou is hurting. After his confrontation with Midoriya, he finally reaches out to him. “

Theres way more but I haven't tagged them properly yet so that m a y come later if I can ever finish going through and adding my sorting tags.

and then a last few that Are Not Complete but im really very fond of them. not as many as id like to add, but my hands are getting tired tbh.

39>State of Mind by GuardianOfTheLoaf: no relationship YET but its looking like it’ll be either tododeku or shindeku, probably the former. EraserMic. tw- childhood neglect and severe depression. Izuku’s not a happy kid. “Izuku was a late bloomer, his quirk lying dormant until his tenth birthday when in a fit of emotion he grabs his mother and she disappears. With All Might slowly restoring his confidence Izuku begins the difficult journey into becoming a hero.“ 18/? chapters.

40>Izuku Eats His Problems by CosmicAce: ShinDeku. Izuku’s a flerkin, what more could you want? “His whole life, Izuku Midoriya was taught to keep his powers, his Quirk, hidden from the world. His kind were feared, hunted to near extinction because of it. He just wants to show people he’s different. That he can be a HERO. And nothing is going to stop him. Even if his Quirk IS like an eldritch abomination.“ 43/? chapters

and then probably my current favorite bnha fic- although it fights with Apertum Mortem for that spot but that ones d a r k and not here-

41>family of the year by periiwren: EraserMic. “Hitoshi is done. Done with moving around every few months to a couple that will scrutinize him and eventually dump him right back where he started. Good thing he’s well past his strike limit now- at least he can stay in one place, be content to age out of the system and finish out his training with Aizawa. Maybe transfer into the hero course, maybe be a hero- but none of that was guaranteed. The only thing for sure was that he was going to stay in that center for the rest of his childhood. Or so he thought- because Aizawa Shouta and Yamada Hizashi have other plans.“ 24/? chapters. we’ve been informed that this one’s gonne be l o n g and im Very Grateful.

42>Here There Be Dragons by here_and_there: pre-ShinDeku. “Izuku looked at the small circle Aizawa had motioned to in front of them. "I won't fit," he whispered, thinking. He raised his hand, tentatively. Sighing, Aizawa grumbled, "What?" "I-I have a question. Actually, two." His teacher just stared at him, unimpressed. Izuku continued. "Can we activate our quirks before we step into the ring?" Aizawa looked up into the sky, muttering something Izuku didn't hear. "If you must." "O-Okay. Uh, second question. You said we have to stay inside the circle, right?" "Yes." The man looked disappointed, not only in Izuku but in himself for letting the kid speak. "Great. Uh... does that include tails?"“ 6/? chapters.

43>Another Option by sandersonsister: TodoBakuDeku, Touya/Hawks, Dabi/Hawks. Potentially Spoilery, depends on whether horikoshi has the guts to confirm Touya. this one is waiting around the corner with a baseball bat, its really cute, and then r e a l l y painful. it might be getting better though. maybe. it might be getting worse. “When Touya stops his mother from hurting Shouto, he decides enough is enough. He needs to get out of this house and he's taking his baby brother with him.“ 33/? chapters.

That's it i’m done for now, oof. maybe ill edit more onto this post later, maybe i’ll just make another one. hope some of these work!

God Bless and Good Day!

~The Lupine Sojourner

Izuku knew he was playing a dangerous game. There was hardly any reason for Shigaraki to trust him or even let him into the League, but...here he was.

“So...Izuku Midoriya…” Tomura murmurs in that creepy voice of his. Izuku made himself look neutral, unaffected, but it was hard. “What brings you here?”

If Izuku hadn’t determined what he’d say beforehand, he’d have panicked and probably said the wrong thing. But he had given what he’d say a lot of thought, and he felt fairly confident it would work. 

“...No one was there to correct those awful things that happened to me nearly every day while I was growing up. Katsuki Bakugo has been bombarding me with hateful, cruel comments and wanton violent acts since we were little kids. I’d hoped someone would stop him or he’d become mature enough to give up what he was doing to me, but the acts and words never stopped.” While all he said was true to an extent, Izuku had seen subtle improvement in Kacchan’s attitude. Whether that was because of the Kamino Ward Incident, Izuku didn’t truly know, but he did know that Kacchan was maturing and so was Izuku. “Even now he’s horrible, and no one checks his actions and words. I grew tired of it and decided to show them that bullies create monsters, that evil can take root anywhere.” That caught Shigaraki’s attention, Izuku could tell. Good. He hated lying about someone he’d known so long, but it seemed to have worked.

“So, you want to make society take more notice and action against bullies. That’s why you reached out to me?” Izuku nods. 

“Yeah. I want to make the world see that kids who are bullied shouldn’t be ignored when they report the problem. Bullying and harassment happen everyday and no one does a thing. I want to fix that, show them the consequences of standing idly by.” Shigaraki smiles. 

“Compelling, but how can I trust you? After all, you defended Bakugo from my colleagues when we tried to recruit him.” Izuku had known this question was coming, swallowing back nerves.

“I hadn’t fully decided to commit to evil. Fighting Muscular made it clear I couldn’t win against you all and the Kamino Ward Incident fully opened my eyes.” 

Shigaraki chuckles, then tilts his head, considering Izuku’s words. “Well then, welcome aboard, Midoriya.” 

=#=#=#=#=

The next hour or so was a waiting game for Izuku.

He bet UA was trying to figure out what he was thinking, and that Aizawa, if anyone, could figure out why he went with the League. He’d texted Toshinori moments before the League showed up so All Might couldn’t stop him. 

Izuku wanted to capture the League by himself to prove himself worthy of All Might’s power and the position of #1 hero eventually. If he could do that, then this would all be worth it. 

He’d earn 1-A’s trust again after probably shattering it by his apparent betrayal. He’d become a Hero and rise to the #1 spot, just like All Might had, but he’d carve his own path. He’d determine his own future. 

=#=#=#=#=

“No offense, but...why us?” Akiyama asks tentatively. Shota tilts his head, eyeing her. 

“Minato, you can create and manipulate mountains. That’s a useful ability to subdue or attack opponents. Also, you can defend against the larger-scale attacks the League can throw at us. Kirishima’s Hardening is a virtually impenetrable defense in closer quarters. Bakugo is the opposite end of the spectrum, his Quirk allowing for large scale attacks to counter the League’s. And, given that he seems to have something to do with Midoriya’s decision, he is coming to try to get through to him.” Bakugo grits his teeth. No need to remind him. This whole incident was a reliving of his worst moments. “Shoto is also here for his attack power.” Shota continues, centering the focus back on the task at hand, “And he could also help Minato in defense if necessary. That’s why you four are coming.” The team nods. They all wanted to get to the bottom of what happened and get Midoriya back. They’d do what it takes. 

There’s suddenly a knock at the door and Toshinori walks in. 

“He’s moved! The signal from the tracker jumped again. This time it’s on the edge of a 100-mile radius of Kamino Ward.” Aizawa grits his teeth. 

“Alright, we have to move quickly before the League move with him again.” The four students nod and follow their teachers. 

“They’re closer to us now but not by much.” Toshinori notes.

“Keep that signal up. We need to know the signal’s precise location at a moment’s notice.” Shota orders.

=#=#=#=#=

Arriving, the team walked quickly toward the source of the signal, wearing civilian clothes to avoid recognition of a possible tip-off of the League. So far it seemed to be working. 

However, the closer they got, the more the signal moved around. It seemed Izuku was staying relatively in the same place, but moving around that area quickly like he was…

like he was fighting.

“Come on! Let’s get moving already!” Bakugo hisses impatiently. He wanted this incident behind him. 

Shota sighs. “We go too quick and we could alert the League and jeopardize Midoriya’s safety. Now be quiet and follow my lead.” On the way to Kamino Ward, Shota had told the kids what Toshinori told him. 

Izuku had texted him about going undercover and that he shouldn’t worry cus Izuku could handle it. 

In reality, that wasn’t entirely true; Izuku seemed to be in a lot of trouble.

They needed to move quickly. Risk be damned.

=#=#=#=#=

Izuku should have known it would end like this. 

He had been out with Dabi, Toga, and Magna for some kind of initiation when he’d slipped up and blown his cover. 

He was now fighting for his life, and it was starting to look like he wouldn’t make it out. Then Aizawa and a handful of his classmates, including Katsuki, were coming around the corner. 

He foolishly assumed the villains were as distracted as he was, turning his head toward the League members. “What are you doing h- -Agh!” 

A knife, propelled by Magna’s Quirk, dug into Izuku’s back, his scream echoing eerily off the walls.

The Way You Used To Do by edema_ruh (@edema--ruh I have suddenly remembered you have a tumblr. Smack me if you dont want the mention and I'll edit it out I promise) - Bakudeku S L O W B U R N. 500k and they’re still fighting. I think. Havent actually read 25, that's why I'm dragging y'all down with me; I'm Scared. there was a point in the middle where we got close, So Tantalizingly Close, but Amnesia’s a Bitch and a Half. This one will hurt you. I Was Completely Unable to read chapter 14 the first time through, in the heat of the moment. I went back for it, after I knew everything was gonna be some vague semblance of eeeeh ok ish? and it was super worth it and all that but like. this is an edge of your seat kind of fic. it will grab you. it will hold you. you will want it to.

it starts slow, if i’m being honest. the first chapter or two is Good, but it quickly amplifies to Why is this author not Published, this is way better than the physical books coming out these days level. 

Point: its dramatic. its feels. its got some of the drama of a shared-emotions/thoughts/pain soulmate au without the soulmates. its. its amazing.

summary:

“"We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."     

 Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation. 

 "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!" 

During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.

Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.“

Sudden Developments, Part 1

This is a 3-part commission from my lovely friend, @fleurie3am15inspo!! They gave me a wonderfully detailed prompt, but to tell you what it is would be spoiling. Anyway, they asked that I keep all part separate, so here’s the first part. Hope you guys like it! 

The word count (not counting the author’s note lol) is 1008 words. I’ll tell you the word count for the other parts, as well, as I post them. 

Alright now onto the story! 

God Bless and Good Day!

~The Lupine Sojourner

No one saw this coming. 

One second Class 1-A was doing some easy training in a large field similar to the area the training camp was held in, the next...warp-gates the students knew all too well opened up, and the League of Villains came out. 

Everyone was stunned. It was only a few weeks after the incident at Kamino Ward, where All for One was taken into custody, and All Might was forced to retire after expending too much power to overcome his nemesis. 

But not even the shock of seeing the League again could compare to what came next. 

“Izuku, come along.” Shigaraki murmured. Everyone had stopped in their tracks, unable to believe their eyes as Izuku obeyed. 

“Midoriya, what’s going on?!” Tenya exclaims. As one of Izuku’s closest friends, he was one of the most shocked by this turn of events. 

“You’ll understand one day.” Izuku replies softly. 

“Deku, you bastard, why the hell are you doing this?!” Bakugo roars. He had known Izuku since they were kids, and yet he had never seen this coming. Izuku whirls. 

“You’re really asking that?” Something about the way Izuku said that sent chills down everyone’s spines. It was so eerily calm. “You, Kacchan? You’re the one who’s never believed in me, never saw what I could be. You told me I could never be a hero, that I would never amount to anything. Hell, you told me to ‘take a swan dive off the roof’ of our middle school. Remember?” Bakugo’s heart skips. He’d never actually meant it. He was- -still is- -an asshole, but surely Izuku knew him enough to realize- -Izuku wouldn’t abandon his dreams of being a hero, would he? 

“Deku, you know I didn’t mean it! Get back here!” 

Izuku turned back around, walking calmly through a warp-gate. 

Naturally, the class reacted, leaping forward and trying to attack the League and get Izuku back, confused and hurt by this turn of events, but unable to let him walk away without trying to get him back. Magna simply repelled the girls and Compress released a few pebbles into the air, revealing a few grenades. Hurriedly, the class retreated, but the explosion still rattled the ground and sent debris flying everywhere. Thinking quickly, Shoto was able to erect a wall of ice to block many injuries. 

Shota Aizawa was a short distance away, taking a call to tell UA everything was going smoothly. He hadn’t heard anything from the Lague until the grenades exploded. It was louder than even Bakugo’s Howitzer Blitz strike and he noticed a large ice wall, and something told him things had gone horribly wrong. 

Instantly, he told Mic, who had called him, that he had to go, hung up, and raced over. “Is everyone alright?” He asks worriedly, seeing Shoto melting his ice wall. “What happened?” He did a quick headcount and noticed a missing student. “Where’s Midoriya?” No one spoke immediately. “Someone tell me what happened! Now!” 

“He went with the League.” Akiyama mumbles, stepping forward. No one wanted to speak, cus then it’d be real. It’d be the truth and they’d have to deal with it. “They showed up, told Midoriya to come with them and he did. He didn’t say much, but he seems to have a grudge against Bakugo for things he did and said before UA. It all happened so fast! When they left, Compress had some grenades inside the pebble-things he makes and he threw them so we couldn’t follow them.” 

Shota was floored. Midoriya was the absolute last person he never imagined would voluntarily join the League. 

He then grits his teeth. He had a job to do. He was their teacher and they were looking to him for their next move. “Alright, let’s get back to UA, where we can talk through what happened and figure out what to do.” The kids nod, gathering around their teacher and walking toward the bus. 

The ride was silent. No one had anything to say, each wrapped up in their own thoughts and emotions. 

The incident had begun and ended so fast, no one was able to process what had happened, or accept that Izuku had turned on them for no given reason. Soon as they arrived back at the dorms, everyone filed in listlessly. Shota shuts his eyes for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to address this. 

Soon as everyone was in the living room, Shota’s eyes opened. Ready or not, these kids needed guidance. “Alright, here’s what will happen. You will shower and put your costumes away, then gather back here, where we will discuss this thoroughly and figure out our next move.” He calls. Tenya, always first to respond, nods. 

“Right. Good thinking, sir.” He stands, motioning to illustrate his point as he continued. “Grab clothes and head into the showers, everyone. Shower quickly and follow Aizawa-Sensei’s instructions. We’ll sort this out.” Everyone nods and files away. The silence was unbearable. 

“Thank you, Iida.” Shota murmurs, stepping closer to the Class Rep. Tenya nods. 

“I’ll go shower now, if that’s alright.” Shota nods. 

“Of course.”

The showers didn’t take long. Shota wasn’t surprised. No one wanted to dwell on what happened too much. Even Bakugo was silent, acting uncharacteristically quiet and subdued. 

Akiyama noticed Eijiro was more outwardly upset than most of the students, so she walks over, putting a hand on his shoulder. “We’re gonna figure this out, Eiji.” She’d taken to calling him that nickname when they started getting closer as friends. 

“I know, Aki, but...why? Why would he do that? Midoriya of all people, too…” Akiyama nods, biting her lip against a wave of emotions. 

“We’re all shocked. But we have to move forward. We have to figure this out, okay?” Eijiro nods. 

“I know that, but it’s still so...wrong. This is all wrong.” 

“I know, but we’re gonna get him back. We’ll get through to him. I promise.” Eijiro’s eyes suddenly glowed with determination as he walked forward. 

“I know we will.”
