    Summary

    Literally nobody but Deku thinks Katsuki’s attractive.

    That’s a reality Katsuki’s been living with all his life, and for fucks sake, it was annoying. He’s a goddamn albino. Pale hair, red eyes, pale skin, he sweats like a fucking pig, he stinks all the time, and he’s got a raspy, nails-on-chalkboard kind of voice.

    Of course, he leans into it. Why wouldn’t he, the alternative is to care what people think about him and what people think about his body. Fuck them.

    Summary

    Up close, Izuku gets his first good eyeful of him. Dark hair parted on the side, slicked back a bit like he’s going on a date. A handsome face, flawless skin and angled cheekbones that can make a stranger fall in love. Izuku is pleasantly surprised. It’s not like he ever backs out if his customers don’t strike him as attractive. But it’s a bonus when they do. And this guy is ticking all the right boxes.

    “Z.” He answers, grinning.

    Hiroto’s brow furrows in confusion. Izuku wants to eat him up. “You’re Z?”

    There’s a strange familiarity to his face. It’s as though they've met before. Wait, no, that’s not it. It’s more like Izuku knows this face, like he’s seen it every day in passing. Maybe they take the same subway route? Or maybe he lives in Izuku’s apartment building? He isn’t sure, other than that the eyes seem off somehow, like they shouldn't be dark, crisp pools of brown. Like they should be red.

    ——

    Izuku runs into an old acquaintance at work one night.

    Summary

    Bakugou’s hands are made for winning.

    They’re made to reach for victory, to grab what they want and refuse to let go.

    Bakugou’s hands are not made for holding. They’re not made to cradle, or to help. His hands are calloused and rough. They are not meant to cherish, to be gentle, to be safe.

    When he’s not using them to blast his opponents to dust, he keeps them sheathed in his pockets like the weapons they are. A gesture of goodwill—a handshake, from him, would be deadly. His hands are deadly.

    And that’s how he likes it.

    That is, until Kirishima.

    Katsuki has never been afraid of commitment. Hell, he committed to his lifelong career the moment his shitty child brain could process audiovisual information and saw All Might raise his fist on live television for the first time.

    But today?

    Today presented him with the commitment of a lifetime.

    Amidst his fever from the seasonal flu, Izuku touches Katsuki's scars — and it's the catalyst to a proposal.

    “This is probably a lot.”

    “It is,” Shouto replied. There was no doubt about that. “But I trust you.”

    Warmth like a tidal wave rushed over him mentally. The happiness and comfort and slight surprise that Kirishima experienced blotted out the rush of specific words, leaving Shouto with only the after-images of delight.

    Todoroki and Kirishima—friends, hero partners, and mutually oblivious clowns—can hear each other's thoughts for ten days.

    Summary

    Katsuki’s eyes welled with hot, angry tears. He’d done it again, put the fear in someone good, he just couldn’t stop doing it. Eijirou worried his lip like a child, and Bakugou saw his own anxiety in the gesture, his own subsuming want. It was himself reflected back and magnified by the beauty of Eijirou’s conflicted face, it was his fault, it was Eijirou’s fault in the first place and it was enough.

     

     

    Eijirou's pining breaks Katsuki's quiet but turbulent contemplation. Pushed to his limit, Katsuki breaks with it. A story of their first time.

    "Penetrative sex," he manages to choke out. "So who's going to...do the penetrating, then?"
    Bakugou looks at him like he's asked an incredibly stupid question. "Me, obviously!"
    "What?" Midoriya's stomach lurches unpleasantly. "You can't just decide that!"

    Summary

    "Really, though," Shouto prompts, bumping their shoulders together. "You must've wished for something once." 

    Katsuki pushes back. "Yeah, like what?" 

    Their eyes meet. And Shouto can't help himself, amusement creeping up to nudge his smile a little wider. 

    "Like the limited edition All Might figure."

    "I didn't need to wish for that," Katsuki boasts, unfazed by the teasing. "I was miles ahead of the extras, even got it before Deku." 

    Well. That's not quite true, but Shouto can't betray Izuku and admit he knows the whole story in alarming detail.

    "Alright," Shouto concedes. "Then maybe your wish was to be less of a gremlin-" 

    Face scrunching up, true gremlin style, Katsuki scowls. Shouto is very pleased to see it. 

    "Shut the hell up."

     Shouto may be seeing stars, but it's fine. He could really use a wish right now.

    Summary

    Echoes filtered down the white hall as he descended the stairs toward the locker rooms, reverberating from the pool. A whistle, the sound of breaking water. He swiped the towel over his face, paused. The sliver of cerulean catching the sinking sun pouring through the skylights, the red and white lane buoys, the burn of chlorine.

    Izuku ran a hand through his curls, snagging on a knot. The clock on the wall reminded him how late it was. A minute wouldn't hurt. He worried his lip. Just a glimpse.

    Summary

    Faint crackling electricity, like the fabric of a windbreaker rubbing against itself, covering the sound of shifting rubble and settling dust. It’s a sound Katsuki’s heard a thousand times before, usually preceded with a shout from Deku saying One For All-

    “Full Cowling,” Katsuki whispers, staring and grasping for words. “What the fuck.”

    Deku is standing near Katsuki’s feet, back bowed forward like Atlas and body lit up with a green so bright it’s incandescent. Blackwhip escapes from his arms in countless tendrils, lightning arcs off his body every second, and there’s a faint tremble running through his legs.

    He’s terrifying. He’s beautiful.

    He’s holding the fucking building on his shoulders.

    -

    Bakugou and Midoriya get trapped under a building together.

    As Midoriya struggles to keep them both alive, refusing to give even an inch, Bakugou realizes some crucial things and refuses to leave without Midoriya by his side.
