Summary
In the iron-fisted kingdom of Ironhold, where dreams were forged into tools and wonder was hammered flat into utility, there lived a boy named Katsuki. His soul was a locked room, and the key was a creature he had never seen.
And so, Katsuki dreamed. He dreamed not of escaping alone, but of a sky shared. He imagined the impossible: the two of them, perched on the back of that great white phantom, the albatross. He would feel the thunder of its wings, the world falling away below, and Izuku’s hand tight in his.
If dreaming of that freedom, of that shared ascent with the boy who made his world make sense, was a sin in Ironhold…
Then Katsuki would gladly be a sinner.

Summary
!!!CONTENT WARNING: Descriptions of injuries and physical trauma.
"You fool! You'll die!"
The pressure on his chest intensified, squeezing the air from his lungs. He gasped, a ragged, whistling sound. Each breath was a razor-sharp blade raking through his ribs. He felt wetness spreading across his back, soaking into his tattered hero suit. Not sweat. He knew that much. His eyes, struggling to focus, managed to discern a horrifying reality. The source of the pressure, the grotesque weight pinning him, was organic. Not concrete. Not steel.
Her.
What remained of her.
Her body, or what was left of it after the intimate, self-annihilating explosion, was a grotesque, unrecognizable mess. A tangle of viscera, bone, and flesh. She had not merely exploded outwards. She had ruptured. And he, in his attempt to contain her, had become the receptacle for the most horrifying parts of her. He was covered in her. Her blood, her tissue, her very being.

Things That I Miss by strugglin

Summary
April.
A month that used to mean something gentle to Midoriya Izuku—spring light, new missions, clearer skies after the chaos of the war. It should’ve been a season of rebuilding. A season of hope. Instead, it became the month everything slipped through his fingers.
It was the month Bakugou Katsuki finally found the courage to confess—only to be easily ruined. Izuku watched the life he built crumble quietly around him. His agency. His reputation. His identity. All gone with one breath, one fading spark.
So he vanished.
And the people who loved him—Katsuki especially—were left chasing shadows, wondering when everything had gone so wrong.
Or, I want BakuDeku to suffer. Let them burn.

Hah.
Funny how creative karma could be.

Summary
“I found their supply room,” he lets the comm lines know. More bullet spray forces him behind a hard brick wall.
“You got it handled?” Icyhot says, out of breath. “It’s messy out here, we’re a little short-handed, can’t send backup.”
“Yeah.” Another click. Another empty cartridge. “I got it.”
***
He does not have it. Or he does until the building decides to fucking collapse. While he’s inside. In a massive crash of concrete and steel and broken tile, the basement’s ceiling (and the first floor’s floor) gives and takes Katsuki with it.OR
The one where Katsuki neglects to mention just how bad he's hurt while on a mission. Set post series end and heavily inspired by "Fitting In (Tiny Spaces)" by aloneinthetrain
