Summary
in which i interrogate the question: How does Bakugou Katsuki’s redemption arc reframe ambition from a destructive force into a pathway towards authentic heroism, thereby complicating the Victorian standard that heroic ambition can only be judged by hindsight?
(a university assignment, which was enjoyable to write as long as i reminded myself it may be considered fanfiction too)

Summary
“Collaborate,” you say. “Not calibrate. You want to cooperate with foreign heroes, not fine-tune them.”
“Same thing, most of the time.”
You laugh. He huffs, but you (fortunately) don’t miss the boyish grin he makes (it disappears quicker than you’d like).
After he leaves that day, you find the word COLLABORATE written neatly ten times in his notes.
— in which you're Dynamight's English tutor!

Summary
Baker Bakugou is fiercely aware of the new patissier— a rivalrous consciousness, he particularised. Your patisserie is a town favourite, set up right across the street and it is everything his bakery isn’t: sweet, warm and effortlessly charming.
He begins to understand that it’s a reflection of you.

Summary
Being your fan isn’t some fantasy for him. He doesn’t pretend you’re secretly in love with everyone who cheers for you.
It’s just that you’re good. Genuinely good. And you look like you’re having the time of your life doing it.
You always wear pastel dresses. Sometimes sparkly barrettes in your hair. One time you had cat ears, and he was mortified by how cute he thought it was. Another time, you wore a crisp sailor collar with heart-shaped buttons, and he stared at the photos online for longer than he’d admit.
But it never felt fake. Not once.
And that’s what keeps him coming back.

Summary
If you can secure the proof you’re looking for, The Herald could become a nation-wide hit. You could write the articles you want to write instead of the ones that sell, things about actual problems with the country’s infrastructure and the challenges that citizens face instead of sex scandals and gossip columns. You have the beginnings of this earth-shattering story written down—you just need more details to fill in the blanks. Because this is unprecedented. Shocking. Frightening, even, to some.
Pro-Hero Dynamight has a secret girlfriend.
(You're a reporter for The Hero Herald, a tabloid dedicated to publishing articles that expose heroes as flawed human beings. When you get a lead on a story that could change your career, you do everything you can to find evidence that corroborates the existence of Dynamight's secret girlfriend. But things don't always go as planned, and surprisingly, his voice sounds really nice over the phone. Even when he's threatening you.)

Summary
Your quirk was meant to save lives, but with every revival, it slowly chipped away at your memories.
Ochako smiled brighter, Deku lingered longer, and Katsuki stayed—always stayed.
Even when you forgot.
Your quirk was meant to save people—to bring them back, even if only for five fleeting minutes. But with every life you revived, you lost pieces of yourself. Memories slipped away like sand through your fingers—faces you once cherished becoming strangers, favorite places turning unfamiliar.
Ochako covered her worry with bright smiles. Deku lingered with concerned glances. And Bakugo—Katsuki, your Katsuki stayed. Even as you forgot the café where you once spent lazy afternoons. Even when you no longer remembered the childhood memories you once shared.
Even when you forgot his name. Even when you forget him.
