    Summary

    It’s been four years since Deku dropped off the face of the earth. Katsuki knows he’s going to find him. He’s so close to him, he can almost touch him.

    (Unknowingly, he does.)

    Summary

    Katsuki is captivated by the sight of Izuku, watching as throws his head back and laughs.

    That smile feels a bit too much like light. Like warmth. Like true, actual healing.

    Inside his own chest, everything burns as his heart pounds so hard, it feels like it’s trying to escape his ribcage. He places his hand over where it beats.

    Take it easy, Katsuki tries to tell himself, just like the doctors did. Even though he knows this has been a losing battle for some time now.

    In which Katsuki and Izuku start the bumpy path of healing after the war.

    Summary

    ”It has been a pleasure watching you grow as heroes, and as partners”.

    Partners. Izuku swallows thickly, always so affected by that word. There are still days he can't believe that Kacchan chose him. The only time he ever attempted to voice that insecurity Katsuki looked at him like he was stupid. Like choosing him was obvious.

    (Japan’s favourite Wonder Duo celebrates their fifth year as hero partners. Izuku is an oblivious, heart-struck mess and Katsuki has never been more sure of what he wants).

    Summary

    Injury assessment: several cracked ribs, possible internal damage, a dislocated shoulder, a completely broken hand, an even more broken ego. Katsuki can barely breathe at this point, and his heart is beating so fast that it can’t be healthy with his condition. He realizes with horror and a dropping stomach that he might actually die from this. He might actually get taken out, not by the hands of a monster or a villain, but by the hands of the person he loves most in his life.
    That’s somehow worse.

     

    Alternatively: Izuku is caught by a villain's mind-control quirk, so strong that not even One For All can break him away from it. The villain is desperate to run away, so to create a distraction, he gives Izuku only one order: that he should kill his partner and boyfriend Dynamight. It's up to Katsuki to face the consequences of that.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    In a strange and unexpected set of circumstances, Izuku and Katsuki find themselves sharing their dreams together whenever they happen to fall asleep at the same time.

    Being hopelessly in love with each other, they don’t mind it all that much. What better way to spend time with your crush than in a stupidly vivid dream?

    Except, neither of them have realised that the other isn’t actually just a part of their imagination. And, of course, seeing as they are hopelessly in love with each other, that makes it a little difficult to hide your true feelings.

    Summary

    He knew the man was singing to him, just like every other song. They had too much history not to be each other’s muse. But this… this was his, and only his. He longed to leave his seat and crawl to the siren before him, beg and beg and keep begging for forgiveness from the one person in the world who saw and accepted him for him. Scars and all.

    Izuku’s soft words cut through the night like velvet and Katsuki wanted nothing more than to live in this moment forever. He wanted the image of Izuku surrounded by stars, eyes closed peacefully as his lips caressed the mic and his hair glistened under the lights, permanently seared into his brain. He wanted to see this image every time he closed his eyes and when he eventually departed from this earth.

     

    Rockstar AU - Katsuki has just gotten out of rehab and this first tour concert might be a little more than he was ready for. Breakups and Makeups - just an idiot in love.

    Summary

    In this world, having a quirk isn’t a blessing. It’s a death sentence.

    At nine years old, Katsuki Bakugo was torn from his home and thrown into Kamino Ward, a brutal government camp built to break kids like him. Now sixteen, he’s considered dangerous, volatile, and finally free. On the run and hunted, Bakugo joins a crew of escaped kids searching for sanctuary. Their leader is a boy named Izuku who is strong, determined, and unafraid of the fire Bakugo tries to hide.

    They’re not heroes. They’re not safe. But they’re done running.

    Because some powers weren’t made to be hidden. They were made to rise, and start a war for something greater.

    Summary

    Katsuki and Izuku find themselves in the uncomfortable position of having swapped bodies, and they're set on keeping it a secret.

    But, as per usual, even that turns into a competition.

    What starts out as a mindless bet as to who can impersonate the other better, ends in a tangled mess of emotions, insecurities and anger.

    (And maybe feelings along the way.)

    Summary

    Numbly, barely even aware of Izuku’s excited chatter as he explored the big hotel room, Katsuki went to find the bedroom. He stood in the doorway, feeling as if all hope was lost.

    There were two beds. Two queen sized beds, right next to each other.

    This was the worst thing that had ever happened to Katsuki. He felt numb. Empty. There was a despair creeping up inside of him that he was having trouble suppressing.

    Two beds instead of one was not romantic.

    Katsuki plans for the Only One Bed trope to save him. Instead he must face a new adversary: the Too Many Beds trope.

    Summary

    For the next few years, that’s how it went. Izuku and Katsuki would give each other the penny at random times, and the receiver always had to say whatever they were thinking out loud.

    No matter the thought, no matter the time or place, the boys staunchly refused to lie about their thoughts. It was always the truth. Because that’s the way it went.

    Summary

    "Can I… can I fuck you this time?"

    Katsuki considers him for a few long moments. Slowly, he nods. "Yes. But."

    "... but?"

    His expression darkens. "Four."

    Izuku's eyes widen. "Four?"

    Through his teeth, Katsuki says, "I want you to fuck me until I can't think straight. So, yeah. Four. Fuck the anger out of me. Fuck it out of me raw."

    **

    Or, Katsuki proposes a way for him and Izuku to get sexual relief while staying comrades, using a level system of one through five. Izuku agrees, but maybe shouldn't... after all, his affections are one-sided, and this can bring nothing but pain.

    Katsuki knew his name was Katsuki, he was seven years old, his head hurt, and that there was a man in front of him with strange eyes.

    Beyond that, the details were a bit fuzzy.

    The man said he wanted to help Katsuki.

    Did Katsuki trust him?

    Well, I'll leave that one up to you.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this seems so interesting and fun omg omg imma do it

    ok im tracking my choices on this bookmark so i can replay and such

    1st read:
    choice #1: not writing him off yet. idk why but this feels like the right choice, whatever “right” means
    choice #2: eavesdrop. obvious choice to me, i feel it’s in character for katsuki but also i want to see what happens
    choice #3: who are you? idk feels right. this dude is also very sus. basically my thoughts are, K’s been hit with an age regression quirk, and this dude might have hit him with it, or fought off a villain who hit K with it. aka, this dude could be a hero or vigilante. not getting villain vibes yet.
    choice #4: answer my question. this may force the dude to answer since he seems to care about K coming along
    choice #5: slowing just out of reach. don’t want to write him off yet
    choice #6: honestly, go with the man. if this dude was seriously a villain or wanted to hurt K, he would’ve bound him up or knocked him out. i’m wondering whether older K was on a stealth mission and something went wrong. i wonder if the familiar voices are familiar as in Villain League or class 1-A.
    choice #7: take another step
    choice #8: take another step. the eyes softening is a good sign
    choice #9: i hesitated here because i could buy time and see who was pursuing us by backing away. but i choose let him pick K up.
    got this trust ending! cool that it was dabi! i’m glad i trusted the dude

    2nd read/new katsuki:
    same choices as 1st read until choice #5: onstead of stepping out of reach, K does not go with him
    BRO GOLDEN EYES AND A BIRD MASK??? THATS CHISAKI AAOHH SHIET
    got the spiteful ending! interesting

    3rd read:
    same choices as 1st read until choice #9; katsuki backs up after all, not trusting the man
    same ending as 2nd read

    4th:
    same as 1 until choice 4; what’s got you so scared?
    choice #5 demand answers despite shadows
    same ending as 3rd read

    5th:
    same as 1 until chooice #2: sit in the chair without eavesdropping
    choice #3: wait for of directions
    choice #4: wait to ask questions
    choice #5: take habd
    looks like same ending as 1st

    6th:
    same as 5th until choice #5: do not take hand
    ended up as either ending of trust or spite

    7th:
    same as 5th until choice 4: ask how i got here
    ended up same ending

    8th:
    choice #1: don’t trust the man
    choice 2: out the window
    choice 3: alley
    choice 4: hidden longer
    choice 5: hide
    choice 6: ditch the jacket
    choice 7: shuffle back
    photos ending!!

    9th:
    same as 8th until choice 2: go left
    choice 3: left
    choice 4: alley
    choice 5: leavw
    choice 6: 2 minutes
    choice 7: listen to phone call
    choice 8: go with the crowd
    choice 9: go to UA

    10th:
    sam’s as above until choice 2
    choice 2: right
    choice 3: hole
    choice 4: newspaper
    choices doesn’t matter until choice 6

    Summary

    For Katsuki and Izuku, their last day of work studies takes a dangerous turn when a villain's quirk alters everything they thought they knew about each other. Katsuki, usually fierce and aloof, wakes up acting uncharacteristically sweet and protective toward Izuku—a behavior that the class can't ignore and Izuku can't explain.

    While the pros scramble to reverse the quirk's effects, Izuku finds himself caught in a bittersweet dream—watching the person he's always loved shower him with affection, knowing it's not real. As Katsuki's obsession grows, Izuku battles his own emotions, torn between cherishing their fleeting connection and bracing for the inevitable heartbreak when the quirk is undone.

    Summary

    When a pair of heavy combat boots thump onto the asphalt in front of him, he’s almost certain it has to be an exhaustion-induced hallucination. Standing mere feet away from Katsuki is a mirror image of himself. Taller, older maybe, and different in many ways—but the same face, the same scowl, the same scars, the same sharp red eyes.

    “What are you, a shitty cosplayer?” the knock-off Dynamight asks, voice huskier than his own.

    It’s so bizarre that Katsuki has to shake his head in the hopes it’ll dispel the mirage. It doesn’t.

    “Funny,” he replies with a deadly glower, holding the unconscious girl tighter in his arms, “I was about to ask you the damn same thing.”

    *** or ***

    Who would Katsuki grow up to be in a world where Deku didn't make it out of the final battle, and how can he find his way home to the Deku who's still waiting for him?

    Ochako Uraraka thinks dating a boy she liked in high school is a good idea.

    All of them are incredibly stupid and self sabotaging.

    Summary

    Bakugou gets hit by a quirk that amplifies his greatest fear for 24 hours.

    "Don't leave," he begs. "Izuku please you can't—”

    "Okay," Izuku says, mind going a mile a minute. "Okay, okay, I won't. I'm not leaving, I promise."

    He knows what this means, but he's having a hard time wrapping his head around it.

    "I promise," he says again, as the undeniable truth sits clear before his eyes. The thing that scared Katsuki the most was losing him.
