Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

Best Friends Don’t Kiss, Do They? (But Boyfriends Do) by haoboutno89

Summary
“Will you kiss me?”
He looks up and Shouto swears he’s never seen Katsuki get this red before. Never noticed the ruddy shade of red the tips of his ears get, the contrast between the pink of his cheeks and the ruby in his eyes.
“What the hell, why?”
His voice does that little crack again, like a deaf explosion going off but breaking into millions of fireworks halfway.
“Because we’re best friends. And I want to know how it feels to kiss someone.”
-or, Bakugou and Shouto are best friends, who sometimes kiss. Will they get their shit together and be boyfriends who kiss instead?

Summary
"Bloody Jesus." Soap shook his head, weapon down again, heart still high in his throat. "One of these days someone is gonna shoot ye for being a creep."
Ghost didn't even blink at that, fully stepping out of the small shadow that had been partially obscuring his bulk. He was geared up as usual, if usual meant having to take on an entire platoon by himself.
"I would like to see them try", he rumbled.
--------
Or, five times Ghost did Soap a favor and the one time Soap had paid him back.

Summary
Bradley runs warm by nature, always has. Today, half an hour after exercise, he’s practically a radiator. He figures he can be generous enough to share the surplus heat rather than suffer through the nuisance of watching Seresin gradually edge closer to hypothermia.
(In which Hangman is often freezing and Bradley, who is a human furnace, notices and starts feeling begrudgingly obliged to do something about it.)

Summary
Midoriya is honestly unsure what’s worse: the tragic fact that Todoroki Shouto can make anything look objectively incredible or the fact Kacchan has six versions of the exact same photograph saved onto his camera roll.
Nobody saves a photo that many times by accident.
Kacchan set the bar, Todoroki raised it. That is not a good thing.

knit you a sweater (write you a love letter) by lelex

Summary
Deku shakes his head to himself and pushes right past that claim. “I tried to get you to start knitting with me last year and every few months since then but you’re going to start because of your hot friend telling you about an old wives’ tale?
“He’s not fuckin’ hot,” Katsuki grumbles, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and pointer finger. “And it’s a curse, get it right.”
*
Or, Katsuki buys stupid Deku the best Christmas present of all time, learns to knit purely out of spite, debunks the (totally bullshit) sweater curse, and gains a boyfriend in the process.

honesty is like a kiss on the lips (come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is) by lelex

Summary
After the League of Villains incident, Katsuki is just trying to keep it together. Things are slipping through the cracks and he's on his hands and knees trying not to let any of his responsibilities out of his sight. Most of the time he can't bear to be touched, especially from behind or anywhere near the back of his neck. Which means his regularly scheduled haircuts are absolutely out of the question. It's fine, he's coping, he's dealing with it—his hair grows out long, longer than it's ever been, and that's fine too.
Until it isn't. But Todoroki being in the right place at the wrong time in the communal boys bathroom as Katsuki is shaving his entire head in a fit of late night mania might just be the solution—one that spans years—that neither of them were looking for.

La Douleur Exquise by HeartfulCakes

Summary
“La Douleur Exquise”: [French] Loving something you can’t have
Todoroki is the human equivalent of ‘perfect’. Google ‘perfect’ and Bakugo guaran-fucking-tees you’ll find a wiki link to Shoto Todoroki. Such a sickeningly ‘perfect’ individual would of course only have the best of the best when it came to a Soulmark. Because life, the universe, and fate just fucked that way.
Bakugo couldn’t give a fuck less if Todoroki’s Mark was an etch-a-sketch imprint of the Queen herself, Katsuki Bakugo wasn’t gonna let that step in the way of him being the best.
Because fuck Shoto Todoroki.

Summary
“Fuck it,” Bakugou exhales angrily, more to himself, and then suddenly is leaning over Shouto where he sits, arms by his sides and face close to his. "It doesn't matter what kind of weird mind game you're playing. I'll beat you no matter how much better than me you think you are."
"When you're not acting out I actually respect you a lot," Shouto corrects mildly. It's said in part because he wishes Bakugou would get over this complex and in part because he's starting to develop a knack for making Bakugou pull the face he's pulling now. "You're really not that bad these days."
Bakugou blinks furiously, then sags abruptly, expression gone disheartened. "You've lost it. I- what's next? You gonna declare your love for me mid-battle?”
“I don’t think so, no,” Shouto replies, instinctively, then stills, thinking about it.
“I’m fucking- going,” Bakugou continues, undeterred and jittery. “Fucking weirdo.”
He's up and gone in a hurry, casting a last disturbed glance back over his shoulder, and Shouto stays very still, looking blankly at the sky.
Well, shit.
He thinks he may have missed a few things while redefining his feelings.

"Today was complete shit. How was it for you?" Bakugou grumbles.
"Not complete shit. Partial shit?" Shouto ponders. "Is that a valid answer?"
"Sure," Bakugou laughs, and it's the most beautiful sound Shouto's ever heard.
or: Shouto isn't used to being a person people turn to for comfort, but bakugou seems to think he has it in him

Then he watched, horrified, as instead of scrubbing his hands, Shouto brought the soapy foam to his face, “Hell do you think you’re doing?!”
“Washing my face,” Shouto answered, turning to Bakugou, confused.
“Not like that you’re not,” he huffed. “Come on. Let me.”
The first night Shouto stays over, Bakugou washes his face for him

Summary
It’s nice to be able to take care of someone who knows him, and maybe likes him. Someone whose trust is hard to win, and it’s given to Shouto of all people. He knows there’s nothing about him that would suggest that he could be good at this, or even knows how to do it.
They’re not dating, but if he could be with somebody like that...Shouto would want something just like this.
Bakugou said once that they weren't friends, so Shouto refuses to wrongfully assume, once again, that they've become more than that

Summary
“There- There’s a hot guy in my hospital room and I can’t even spell your name,” Shouyou blabbered, his words slurred. “You probably think I’m stupid. You probably want to go home. I bet you have a girlfriend at home, because you can’t be single,” Shouyou pouted.
Tobio smiled a little mischievously.
“Why can’t I be single, Shou?” He asked impishly.
Shouyou wrinkles his nose. “‘Cause you’re the most beautiful-est man alive. Duh. You’re all… guwaah.”
“I’m not single,” he said.
Shouyou pouted. “I know. You don’t have to rub it in,” he slurred.
“I have a husband. He’s- Ah, he’s about your height, I’d say. He has hair like yours… He’s a bit smarter, though.” Tobio paused, thinking about something. “Only by a bit.” He chuckled to himself like it was an inside joke that only he knew.
OR
Hinata Shouyou gets his tonsils removed and doesn’t know who this beautiful stranger in his hospital room is.

This proves to be startlingly revelatory.'

Summary
The eye contact raises goosebumps on Rover’s skin, fear striking at his core as the man jumps down with one knee barely touching the ground, the action seeming both brutish and graceful. He rises to his feet, height clearly above Rover’s own. Everything about him screams danger with the way he kept an eerie grin and a bone-chilling stare towards him. Rover raises an arm over his chest defensively to stop him from getting any closer.
There is no doubt in his mind who this is now.
-
or, during their first meeting, Rover loses control of his Tacet Mark and the only one who can help him is the one person he wants to stay away from, Scar.
