    Summary

    Deku’s bedroom’s about the same as Katsuki imagined it. He perches on the edge of the absurdly soft bed, trying not to think about Aunty Inko staring at him like he had two heads. "Why’d you come, Kacchan? Is everything okay?”

    “I’m sorry,” Katsuki says without preamble. Just like he rehearsed on the way over here. “I’ve been an asshole for most of our lives and you didn’t deserve that.”

    “I, uhm –”

    “You’re way too fucking sweet for your own good. You should have kicked me out instead of letting me in your room. You shouldn’t have –” kissed me, he doesn’t say. “Been nice to me after I was a jerk. I shouldn’t have been a jerk. I never even noticed how much I liked having you around until I left.”

    “You liked having me around?” Deku asks, expression going soft. Katsuki rubs his sweaty hands on his jeans. Slowly, Deku scoots forward in his chair until their knees almost touch. “Is that why you started talking to me again, Kacchan? I wondered if maybe you were just bored but I thought – I’d hoped maybe you finally wanted to be friends.”

    Katsuki’s chest clenches. “I did. I do.”

    (Katsuki moves to Tokyo after middle school. Izuku, against all odds, ends up going with him.)

    Summary

    This is the way the world works: the sun rises in the east. The strong come out on top. Bakugou Katsuki rockets through life like a comet and Midoriya Izuku stumbles after. If he believed in such things Katsuki would say it was written in the stars. That some god of war had looked at him and said this one. That he’d been passed along a line to get his blessings – genius, willpower, fearless ambition – and dropped off on earth.

    Then, of course, there is the question of Deku. The spitfire runt. Deku, no matter what the world does to him, never stops hoping.

    Until, of course, he eventually does.

     

    (Katsuki broke him. Snapped him in half like a twig and now has to scramble to put Deku back together. “We can do this, Deku," he says slowly. "There are so many mysteries that never got put to bed. Criminals roaming around looking to hurt people and you and me, we can fix that.

    There’s a long pause. The comforter slips a little off Deku’s skinny shoulders and drowns him. “You mean like a team?”

    In that split second, Katsuki makes a decision he’s never even considered. He swallows his pride. “Yeah, Deku. We’d be a team.”)

    Summary

    Strangely enough, Izuku meets Charon before he dies. Charon is both everything and nothing he expected.
    Contrary to what the myths would have like him to believe, the Underworld is a gentle, gentle place. It's a resting place. A home for all those that are lost and still wander. It teaches him that death has always been, and will always be, an ending with many faces.
    (The fruit of the Underworld is forbidden because it seeks to keep. Izuku does not mind. He likes being wanted.
    The first bite of pomegranate is tart and sweet and tastes like relief.)

    Summary

    They say that you can either let the world destroy you or destroy the world. Izuku doesn't know which category he falls into, but he does know that he won't let anyone be hurt like he was hurt if he can help it.

    With unconventional methods, a few broken bones and self-sacrificing attitude, the vigilante dubbed Carbon Cat attempts to balance crime fighting, evading arrest, living alone, and high school. He can't tell which one is the most difficult.

    OR: in which Izuku never receives One For All, becomes a vigilante and tries to keep everyone at an arms length. Doesn't mean they'll let him, though.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

    Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

    Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

    The beauty of the era of quirks wasn't the amazing abilities; it was that nobody sane would even entertain the thought that Kuroko, the most wanted vigilante in all of Japan, was Quirkless.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been a bit strange.

    Anyone will tell you that he's a ray of sunshine, and fun to be around-- but they might also tell you not to feel bad if he seems to suddenly look through you with his unsettlingly pale eyes, or to refrain from asking about his family, or his Quirk. He'll always be at the Viridian Cafe, serving pastries and smiles, in the warm atmosphere of fresh-brewed coffee and cats running amok. But you may also find him elsewhere-- observing heroes' fights, or heading somewhere with a flower bouquet.

    Indeed, Midoriya Izuku is a bit of a mystery, but as long as you respect the cafe and don't try to pry, the Viridian will open its doors for you, too.

    Summary

    Shouta had planned the off-campus patrols to be a safe and reliable method of building trust between students, and a way to crack his two problem children open and figure out what makes them so incredibly determined to oppose each other at every turn.

    He just hadn’t planned cracking them open to be literal.

     

    Or, Shouta goes digging into Midoriya and Bakugou’s past, and a collapsing building and a villain with a fear quirk gives him more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    As soon as Izuku entered the room, the boy’s head snapped up.

    Izuku took a step back.

    A face he saw every morning in the mirror stared back at him, eyes glittering with delight. The left one was red.
    “Oh, hello.”

     

    This was a bad idea.

     

     

    Or: Izuku finds out UA is holding a villain under lock and key. Specifically, they’re holding him, a version of him from an alternate universe in which he never became a hero, but something far darker. Curiosity gets the better of him. He ends up regretting it.

    Summary

    The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.

    Or rather, what finds him.

    Mamihlapinatapai (noun)
    Gazing at one another, with the hope of the other offering something that both parties desire, but are unwilling to do.

    Because they had never been good with words, really, when it came to each other.

    Besides, there were other ways to show how one felt for someone else.

    And it was Katsuki who started it all, with a simple look.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku, known in the hero world as the leading quirk analyst of the modern times, was a typical young Japanese man. He’s a mumbling self-taught researcher, bonafide hero nerd, and self-proclaimed number one fan of retired hero but greatest-of-all-time, former Symbol of Peace All Might.

    His boyfriend, on the other hand, was a very famous young Japanese man. Real name Bakugou Katsuki, Izuku’s beloved ‘Kacchan’ was also more known as Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, currently number four in the Pro Hero Rankings, childhood friend, occasional model, universally acknowledged as the ‘explosive, bad boy’ hero, and second-most handsome celebrity bachelor in online polls (just after Pro Hero Shouto, a dear friend of Izuku’s, and Kacchan’s bitter rival-frenemy in all aspects of life).

    Too bad his friends didn’t believe him.

    Summary


    Izuku gets turned into a cat by a villain. Not necessarily an awful thing, except nobody is recognising him and he's done with this already.

    At least the chin scritches are good.
     
    ~~~

     

    Now that gentle fingers have disentangled his back legs, Izuku is able to leap forward with a fair bit more grace, landing on the coffee table right in front of the hero and spinning neatly around, plopping the paper down and setting a paw on top of it so that Aizawa-sensei won't try to take it back yet.

     

    'This,' he explains, tapping a paw just above his name and ignoring the bitemark adjacent to it,
    'Is me.'  He brings that same paw up to awkwardly pat his own chest with the side of it.  The hero is just staring at him, perfectly blank, uncomprehending, and Izuku rolls his eyes as best he can before repeating the movements and words.

     

    ~~~

    Alt. title: "How many heroes does it take to identify one cat?"

    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.

    He turned the corner into the next lane, only to stop momentarily in shock.

    Deku was standing there, trying and failing to grab a bag of chocolate pretzels off the top shelf.

    He looks just like Katsuki remembers—everything he used to hate. But, things are different now. Deku grew up. And he grew up pretty.

    Or: Izuku and Katsuki meet again, at the beginning of their third year. Nothing (read:everything) changes.

    Summary

    “I want to confess- no, I’m going to confess to Midoriya today, but, uh, before I do that, can you tell me: are Midoriya and Todoroki dating?”

    "Oh, honey, you sweet, sweet, summer child. It's not Todoroki you have to worry about – they're just friends," Ashido says, shaking her head with a vicious grin.

    "Really?!"

    "No, you should be worrying about him," she says, jutting her chin forward to indicate something behind Kazuo.

    As if on cue, a low, echoing growl travels through the halls, and Kazuo feels his heart immediately pick up, beating wildly in his chest and so hard it almost hurts.
