    Summary

    “Katsuki…” Izuku sounds out his name like it’s in a language he’s just learning. “Did you…not like it?”

    “Izuku,” He sighs, smelling the beginnings of sweat and the ghost of conditioner on Izuku’s neck. He presses his lips to one freckle, than another, and another.

    The last few weeks have given him a wealth of context. Katsuki has watched how the whole world twists itself into shape to meet Izuku’s demands. The combination of sharp wit, a kind smile, and a big bank account are lethal. Over the years, it’s clearly led to grand expectations of what other people are willing to give him.

    “You didn’t say no.”

    “You didn’t ask.”

    “You like that better.” Izuku leans into him, hand coming up to cup the back of his head.

    There’s a frog in Katsuki’s throat, and when he tries to speak beyond it, it makes him croak.

    Summary

    "Adversity makes us stronger" is a lie people tell themselves to make their lives easier to stomach, Izuku thinks. If they acknowledged that the life they suffered through was just another blip in the world's radar, any rational person would lose their mind. All adversity does is make you brittle, and hard, and, when pushed in a certain way, oh-so-easy to break.

    Pre-canon. A series that explores how Midoriya Izuku navigated middle school.

    Summary

    It was simple, being a child.

    At least, when Izuku was free and at ease to be one.

    Summary

    “This,” she says, still with her fingers down Kacchan’s throat, “is my quirk. Unleash.” Her smile, already cruel, grows sharper. “I can secrete a powerful disinhibitor. This should be a pretty effective dose.”

    “What do you think is going to happen?” Izuku asks. His voice is steady and not quite his. 

    “If I leave you in here with a hopped-up crazy?” she asks, and pulls something out of her pocket. Izuku squints. It’s a cheap stick-to-the-wall camera, everything disposable except the digital chip. A toy, pretty much. People use them for selfies, or give them to little kids to play with. She slams it onto the steel wall, high up by the ceiling. “I think I’ll get some nice footage of one UA student killing another, is what I think.”

    Summary

    What the overwhelming majority of people didn’t know about Katsuki Bakugou is that he also possessed a secondary quirk.

    In fact, the only person to ever be let on this secret was his mother, and even she only came to know about it because one time during an argument, Katsuki lost his head and spat at her how utterly irrelevant she was to the narrative, and therefore should just shut the fuck up.

    Maybe he was just going crazy.

    Or, an au where Bakugou's fourth wall jokes are no jokes because he's actually aware of himself as a fictional character.
