Summary
For Aizawa, for the class; Bakugou is going to get them all on the same page, of the same damn book. And then he's going to fuck off, and throw himself back into work, because he doesn't care if he's wanted or not.
It's his fault he misinterpreted the promise, but he'll be damned if he lets Aizawa hurt himself because of his damned guilt issues.
If he has to step back into the nightmare that is U.A., so be it. His old teacher's happiness is worth it, his class's happiness is worth it.
~
Aizawa has watched his kids from afar, watched them work too hard, not take enough breaks, and take the weight of the world on their shoulders. Just like he knew they would. He's watched, and stayed in U.A., has stoped himself from calling, from reminding them to take care of themselves, has stopped himself from being a reminder of everything bad that's happened to them, every way they were failed.
Bakugou showing up while he's teaching his new class, is a surprise, not unwelcome, but worrying.
Bakugou showing up in the gym and asking to talk, in a dirt-stained, blood-smeared hero costume, is even more worrying.
Finding out he's failed his kids again; that brings terror and dread.

Avoidance and Eggshells by Steal, Zoe2550

Summary
Bakugou just wants to help, he just wants to stop hurting people. The easiest way to do that is by avoiding them, this way he won't be lying to his classmates' faces, this way Aizawa can feel at ease with the rest of the class. It's foolproof, and the grief settling in Bakugou's chest doesn't exist, and if it did, it wouldn't matter.
It's just... he wishes the gym would stop being the place his world view is shattered, and he wishes that every choice he ever makes stops always being the wrong one.~
There's only so many times he can fail one kid, or at least Aizawa wishes he thought that. Three weeks of Bakugou avoiding him, that makes sense, after what he'd done, but when Aizawa notices he's avoiding his class, he can't let it go anymore. He has to talk to Bakugou, has to find a way to help this stubborn kid.
He doesn't expect the answers he gets. Didn't know he'd hurt the kid so deeply, that he led him to think such horrifying things for so long.
Aizawa knows he's at the end of his chances, one wrong word, one wrong move, and that's it, he'll have failed Bakugou for the last time. That can't happen, he's the only person Bakugou can go to, so he has to get this right.Series

What is to be Classified by Steal, Zoe2550

Summary
The joint training session. Bakugou has never forgotten it. He did manage to ignore it though, managed to forget what its existence meant. That's on him though, and Bakugou has more than enough rage to direct it towards himself and Aizawa. But he will not leave his class believing they are safe, if they're not, will not let them blame themselves for the school's failure.
If he has to take on the whole of UA's faculty to get his explanation, he will. If he has to set aside his emotions, his guilt to get an explanation from Aizawa he will. His class deserves honesty. They deserve someone who will put them first.
Bakugou will be that, since apparently no one else will.~
It was all pointless, all the tightrope walking, his words they mean nothing now, not in the face of this failure. Aizawa knows that when Bakugou is standing in front of him, betrayed and angry, and there is nothing Aizawa can say that will change anything. Aizawa has failed, has let these kids down for the last time, no explanation can change that. He knows that.
But, he promised not to lie to Bakugou. And that's still a promise he's able to follow through on. He refuses to break that promise.Series

Summary
Bakugou loses control. No one is hurt. No on gets hurt but only because Aizawa is there, Bakugou is safe but only because Aizawa is there. But Bakugou never wanted to scare his class. never wanted to scare Aizawa.
But a boy with a temper, a powerful quirk, and a history of violence never stood a chance at fulfilling those wants.~
Aizawa walks a tightrope of carefully worded sentences and cautiously thought-out movements. Tip too far to one side and he scares Bakugou, tip too far to the other and Bakugou is left carrying the weight of the world, and guilt that doesn't belong to him.
He just wishes that Bakugou's first year at UA didn't irreparably destroy any foundation he could've built, he wishes that he could find the right words to convince this kid that he is far from a danger, far from a threat for anyone who knows him.Series

Summary
"He had said to Hizashi that he loved him before leaving, as always, just in case something like this happened. But his students, his kids, he didn’t tell them how much he cared. He had failed them so many time already and now he would not even be able to see them graduate. The very least he could do was to tell them how amazing they were and how proud he was. If only he could reach his phone..."
Or
Aizawa is dying in an alley and call Midoriya to tell him and his class how much he is proud of them before it's too late. Thankfully for him, they will not let him die without giving a fight. But waiting for help that may come too late is hard and he have so much to say and so little time...

Summary
Satoru came into Megumi’s life smelling like synthetic strawberry. It’s his gum, snapping between his teeth as he grins down at Megumi over the dark rims of his glasses. He’s never without the fruity candy. Has a pack of it tucked into his back pocket that he pulls out every few hours to refresh the light pink wad he pulls out of his mouth and sticks in inappropriate places. Megumi wrinkles his nose, leaning back dramatically, kicking out at his shin. Satoru steps back fluidly, laughing, reaching down to rub his hand into the top of Megumi’s head.
