Summary
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” he sobs out, hands automatically coming to to clench at his hair. Like if he pulls hard enough he’ll break open his scalp and see his brain, be able to dig around for an answer inside. “What- what’s wrong with me?” He’s begging even without saying please.
He used to stay silent in his bedroom, refusing to even listen to music through his headphones in case it was too loud. But now he knows that neither Aizawa or Yamada hear him, not unless they’re right outside his door. He can cry and he can talk to himself and go can go absolutely fucking insane and they’ll be none the wiser.
Sometimes he yearns to call out, hopes one of the heroes will hear and come save him. He opens his mouth, words tingling on his tongue, just to sob so hard he shuts himself up.
How can they comfort him from something he can’t explain?
He doesn’t have an eating disorder. He has no reason to feel like this. There’s nothing they can do for him if there’s nothing wrong.

relationships for dumbasses by orphan_account

Summary
It wasn’t until Todoroki fell in love that Bakugou discovered two things about his roommate he hadn’t known before: 1) Todoroki was a fruitcake. 2) He was awkward as hell when it came to love. The latter was more of a surprise than the former; anyone who dyed his hair like that couldn’t not be gay.
“His name’s Midoriya,” Todoroki said, probably sighing with lovesickness and disgustingness under his resting bitch face. “And he's amazing.”Or,
That college AU in which Bakugou suffers as an unwilling love guru, is surrounded by dumbasses, and falls in love himself.

Summary
“I don’t believe you’re in love with me.” Shinsuke tells him. “I think you look up to me, might have a crush. But it’s not love.”
Atsumu’s jaw ticks, his eyes now glassy, shining with abrupt tears he doesn’t shed.
“Mingle with people, look up to somebody else and see if it’s the same feeling. Date somebody. Explore your emotions. Compare them. And if you’re still as certain as you are now - I’ll say yes.”

Summary
Midoriya Izuku had dreams once of taking the music world by storm; now he's just trying to keep his head above water and the bills from piling up. In an effort for extra cash he rents out his spare bedroom on Airbnb, and winds up hosting a striking young pianist who introduces himself only as Shouto. Shouto's coldly polite, highly mysterious, and unwittingly determined to drag out all of Izuku's once buried ambitions, whether Izuku likes it or not.

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite
Fandoms: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice & Related Fandoms
28 Oct 2017
Tags
Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Wei Wuxian blinked once. Again. Then: “what?”
Or: the one with sibling reconciliation, brother-in-laws from hell, and Jiang Cheng trying to sort through his feelings while acknowledging them as little as possible.

Summary
It’s at that moment that Bakugou realizes something is very, very wrong. He glances down at himself and sees scars he’s never had before along his arms, little nicks and scratches he’d never have been oblivious to. When he reaches up, his limbs feel longer, and as he staggers to his feet he stands several centimeters taller than he had, last thing he knew. He glances at the mirror, catches sight of his reflection, and screams.
One of the doors on the opposite side of the room bursts open, steam spilling out into the bedroom. A man crosses the room in quick strides, looking around for some enemy he can’t yet see.
No, not just a man. Kirishima.
When a confrontation with a villain throws Bakugou through time, he's forced to face a future he never imagined, and maybe something he can't leave behind.

Yesterday Upon The Stair by PitViperOfDoom

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

a defining work in my reading and writing life. inspires me years after reading it. i literally just remember how some of it was written and am driven to write more deeply and truthfully, without shying away from how good and vicious people can be at the same time.... I'm not doing this justice. a must-read

Rumors of Our Productivity Have Been Greatly Exaggerated by ghosteyes

Summary
He can think of a few words he learned from his mother’s mouth. Jiheishou. Words for kids like him who fixate on textures, who don’t talk until they’re four, who scream when they’re hugged. Katsuki gets the feeling he shouldn’t repeat the things his mom called him.
Kirishima’s brow furrows. “Say more?”
Katsuki grits his teeth. “You can’t have ADHD if you already have something else, right?”
Class 1-A’s ADHD students have their own study group and it’s just as unhinged as it sounds.

Summary
“You think about that, alright? If you can give me a really good reason, I’ll consider breaking up with you. But you gotta convince me.”
“It would be me breaking up with you,” Kiyoomi says petulantly, “not the other way around.”
Atsumu huffs. “You can’t win at a relationship,” he points out, leaning forward. “That’s kind of fucked up of you to say to me, you know. I thought you liked me.”
“That was your first mistake, then,” Kiyoomi hisses, icy. “Since I hate you.”
