Summary
Katsuki listens closer. And then notices the small inflections in his voice, how out of breath he sounds. Ragged, panting for air. Likes he’s decidedly run a marathon in his own fucking house. He wasn’t speaking quietly out of courtesy, but he was afraid to speak any louder. And then he realizes,
Somethings wrong.
He hurries out of his bed, already heading towards the front door.
“Izuku, what’s going on? Are you alright?”
...
Katsuki can almost hear the immediate regret that fills Izuku’s voice when he speaks up,
“Oh God, I'm so sorry!! Nothing's wrong, Kacchan I- ” then a beat “Okay fine, I was being an idiot. I had this stupid nightmare where you died again and I just called to make sure you’re okay. I’m so incredibly sorry for worrying you like that I don’t know why I did that, you think I'd be over this by now, it won’t happen again I swear- “
Katsuki stills.
“I’m coming over.”

Summary
Katsuki realized that the idea of the two of them—Bakugou Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku, Kacchan and Deku—was woven so intimately into who he was that he’d never given any of it a second thought.
When he’d fallen in love with Izuku, he’d never thought to be afraid.
When Izuku turned down the invitation to work together as heroes, it completely derailed the plan that Katsuki had been working towards for the past eight years.
In the face of this unexpected turn of events, Katsuki quickly realized just how much he’d messed up by clinging to the idea of Izuku’s return. Because without Izuku there to fill in the gaps of his life, he became more and more aware of how painfully empty he felt.
With his future cleared of the last hopes and dreams of his youth, there was plenty of room for flowers to grow.

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

Summary
Wouldn’t it be ironic? To survive a war against the incarnation of evil only to freeze to death at the hands of a terrified woman who hadn’t even really intended to hurt him.
Wouldn’t it be such a terrible thing, to die, and to not be able to fight it as he’d fought everything else that his life had tried to drop on him?
To not be able to tell Kacchan how much he meant to him. How endlessly thankful Izuku is that after all these years, they’ve managed to fix things. That they finally finally finally understand each other. That Izuku doesn’t have to hide from Kacchan and Kacchan doesn’t have to hide from Izuku. That they’re everything that Izuku has ever wanted them to be-
And that’s where Izuku he’s been lying to himself. He’s too selfish to let this be everything that he wants. He’s too selfish not to want more. And really, how is he supposed to be anything but selfish when it comes to Kacchan? When his personal symbol of all things beautiful and heroic and good finally feels human and attainable and sees him?
How can Izuku not be in love with Katsuki Bakugo?
~~~~~~
In which Izuku’s lack of self-preservation comes back to bite him, yet again.

Summary
Heavy, wet breathing, and a choked-off voice: “C-come in. Please. Someone, come in. This is Midoriya Izuku. Bakugou Katsuki and I are t-trapped—”
He cuts himself off, just as Katsuki fuzzily realizes his head is pillowed on Izuku’s thigh. His thoughts come in slow like molasses.
Izuku breathes hard. “—Under a building. We’re under the building.”
//
or:
Izuku has had this thing about him that Katsuki has never been able to name, but he's been chasing it since he learned how to run. It takes a catastrophic building collapse during their third year and a severe concussion for him to realize what it is.
Aizawa loses ten years off his life. When does he not.

Comfort and Control by daniartonline

Summary
His panic is swift, desperate, all-encompassing, and before he can even think about it, his head jerks around to meet the gaze that soft, rough voice belonged to, and confirm that—yes—he’s still breathing. That among all this blood and carnage, at least he’s still alive.
But when he sees Kacchan, when their eyes finally meet, Izuku doesn’t feel relief, or comfort, or reassurance. Instead, he’s greeted with a terrified stare, red eyes wide with panic, hair mussed and mask half torn, and as Kacchan looks back at him with nothing but fear, Izuku feels his blood run cold.
Because beside him, holding Katsuki up by nothing but his neck, is Shigaraki.-
Izuku has a horrible nightmare that rips him awake. Luckily, Kacchan is there to keep him steady.
