Description:

For a while, Midoriya Izuku was thought of as a divine being. After all, he sacrificed everything for Japan while was just a boy.

Well, that boy is now a man: a very silly, inexperienced man dating an equally silly, inexperienced graduate student.

Is your relationship the most heart-pounding, steamy and extravagant thing on the planet? Not even close. But that's... probably for the best, honestly. After the independent lives you've lived, the idea of coming home to something steady is more than enough. Love isn't always about the crazy gestures you see in media!

(Or: 5 sorta-kinda connected fluffy oneshots about dating Izuku, one for each of your five senses.)

---

All of these works are totally gender neutral (or: in situations with smut, featuring male and female chapters) with a fairly bare-bones backstory. Reader is fairly introverted. Implied strained relationship with your parents and less-than-perfect childhood, but absolutely nothing too heavy. All function as standalone reads and don't require prior reading.

...This was intended to be a oneshot, but unfortunately I really like writing about fictional green haired men.
