    Summary

    “Oi, Deku!” Katsuki calls after him.

    Izuku turns and Katsuki’s breath catches, his eyes meeting vibrant emerald ones, “After this race, no matter the outcome, meet me at Tony’s Diner.”

    Izuku’s blinding smile lights up his face. He nods his assent. “Okay Kacchan, but if I win you owe me a strawberry shake!” he calls, turning around to continue back to his garage.
     

    After the race, Katsuki waits at a booth in the quiet diner for hours. The condensation from Izuku's strawberry shake drips down the side of the glass. He keeps waiting, even though he knows Izuku won’t show.
    —-----------------
    Or, It’s been 6 years since Katsuki has last seen Izuku, but when Izuku is signed as his race engineer, they’re forced to find a way to work together. Along the way, goals become tangled, tensions rise, and feelings get involved.
    —----------------
    Or, Katsuki is trying to get picked up by an F1 team and Izuku is trying to stay in the sport he loves.

    Summary

    He leans in and envelops his old… something around the shoulders, hoping with every fiber of his being Izuku doesn’t do the smart thing and push him away. He never did before, but it has been eleven years; maybe he finally wizened up, grew a backbone. Katsuki wouldn’t blame him. Might be proud, even.

    But some things remain unaffected by the passage of time: The sun will always rise in the east. Flour, yeast, salt, and water will always make bread. And, evidently, Izuku Midoriya will always receive whatever Katsuki Bakugou is willing to give.

    -----

    Katsuki attends the first Hero Con! of his eight-year career. Fate seizes an opportunity eleven years in the making.

    Summary

    “Oh, you are up,” Todoroki said. “Good. Bakugou texted the group chat. Apparently-”

    “We have to pick up the cake,” Izuku said. “I know. Todoroki, I need you to listen to me. I’m going to sound insane when I say this, but I think I’m stuck in a time loop.”

    His eyes got wide. “Time loop?”

    “I’ve lived today, twice already. We’re supposed to go out and get the cake, and while we’re out, we're going to be attacked by a villain who can reflect attacks. I’ll use the last of the One for All embers fighting him.” He bit his lip. “I know I sound insane, but-”

    “That sounds serious,” Todoroki said. “What happened to get you into a time loop?” He stepped into Izuku’s room and closed the door behind him. “We probably don’t have a lot of time to spare. If you’re in a time loop, how do we get you out? Do you know who put you in one? You said you lost your quirk?”

    He couldn’t believe Todoroki believed him. He didn’t question it at all. It made Izuku feel full. “Yeah. Both days. We get the cake, a villain attacks, I lose my quirk, then the wedding goes well before I end up back in my room, and then I wake up on Kacchan’s wedding day again.”

    Summary

    Tony Stark hasn’t worked in years—Hollywood doesn’t like a drunk who makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. Steve Rogers, meanwhile, is trapped in his perfect action-hero box, unable to land a role that actually proves he can act.

    This movie is supposed to fix everything. Big budget, big director, big expectations. Only problem? They hate each other.

    With cameras rolling and tempers flaring, the lines between rivalry and something else start to blur. Because in Hollywood, the best performances aren’t always the ones on screen.
