Summary

"
What an oddly violent way to help someone. Was Fumikage being kidnapped? He vaguely felt as though he was being kidnapped. How unfortunate. He didn’t quite want to go with the other, but he was also left with little choice. Remaining in this banged up alleyway did not seem like a pleasant experience.
"
or;
Tokoyami got injured by a group of bullies and Katsuki stumbles upon him beaten up in an alleyway. Katsuki takes him home and patches him up, and friendship blooms

Summary

Just as the last veins of light flicker out of his vision, the picture of ice emerges just ahead of him, accompanied by a warish cry. But it can’t be, it’s too human. And if there’s one thing Katsuki hates more than orcs, it’s humans.
---
Bakugou Katsuki, a notorious human hater and leader of a powerful group of dragons, gets injured by a gang of orcs after trying to save his parent's last egg- his brother. In the battle, he gets injured and is forced to rely on the help of a human to restore his strength and save the egg before the orcs destroy it completely. As time passes, however, he finds his hatred for humans rapidly waning. He's left with a tough choice- return to his old friends, or travel further with this new human who's managed to enrapture him.

"
“Dude, you almost killed someone!” Sero breathed loudly in horror, expression pale in the rear-view mirror. Katsuki clicked his tongue, annoyed with every single one of his passengers. They were fine- everything was fine. No one knew how to drive better than him and that was a damn fact.
"
...
Or; Katsuki can drive. The quality of his driving, however, is... questionable. The bakusquad quickly figure this out while riding with him.

Summary

The loading sign comes, and then the website opens up. Omg. Omg! No error meets his trying. The username is accepted. He is AllMight.
The website is yellow, blue, and red themed. The signature two hair antennae are at the top, thick bolded “belikeAllMight” letters spelling the name. Since it’s new, there’s little to find content wise, but still Izuku found himself refreshing the page and ingraining what is there deep into his brain. (Namely being two All Might clips and a list of junk foods to take out of your diet.)

Summary

In ancient times, the lands and humanity were protected by animal-human hybrids, Legends, that carry One For All’s spirit. Being a Legend taking the form of a ram, Midoriya Izuku travels town to town and uses his powers to weave his magical wool into healing cloth items for humans.
One day however, when hopelessly lost and injured in his ram form during a snowstorm, he's rescued by a hunter, Bakugou Katsuki. To repay his debt, Izuku shapeshifts himself as a human and presents himself at Katsuki’s door as a traveller seeking refuge from the storm.
Izuku’s plans to weave his gifts of gratitude for Katsuki and leave by morning goes awry when the storm, his sustained injuries, and the townspeople already struggling with sickness unexpectedly forces Izuku and Katsuki to cohabitate... indefinitely.
Loyal to his duties, Izuku dedicates himself to weaving for the village to help them combat the sickness. But now, by living with Katsuki and the townspeople, he’s forced to grapple with what it means to be a human, have a home, and maybe even fall in love.
Or: A loose adaptation of the Japanese folklore, 'The Crane Wife.' Made for the Ever After Bang.

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

“Listen,” Katsuki said, “That lettuce is fucking bolted, it’s gonna taste like shit.”
The old woman frowned. “The man at the stall said this lettuce was good.”
“Well, that man clearly doesn’t know his fucking lettuce!” Katsuki snapped, and she raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met a Hero so passionate about…lettuce.”
Katsuki’s face heated up, and he quickly ducked into his high collar to hide it.
“I don’t think I’ve met a Hero with such a dirty mouth either,” she continued with a growing smile, and Katsuki blushed harder.
“Listen, lady, as long as I save people, my language doesn’t matter,” he said, but it sounded a bit petulant.
She laughed, a light, tinkling sound. “I guess not.”
