    Summary

    “Deku.” He says the old nickname like a statement of fact.

    Izuku—who really should have seen this coming—looks around frantically, making sure that no one hears. He feels himself go bright red.

    “Don’t call me that.”

    Midoriya Izuku has a boring desk job pushing papers and filing claims at the Hero Public Safety Commission. Or at least, everyone thinks he does.
    Pro Hero Dynamight has incredible attention to detail. So why is he at the Commission office renewing his hero license a whole month late?

    or: a weird coincidence throws Izuku and Katsuki back together after ten years apart. Katsuki is being very brave about it.

    Summary

    “I was gonna ask you to date me!”

    “Huh?” Izuku whispers, hands gripping Katsuki’s so tight all he can feel is bone.

    “Not, like, actually date me - just, fake dating, something that’ll get that damn woman off my back long enough she can’t make me do shit.” When he remains silent Katsuki's eyes narrow to pinpricks of scarlet. “See? Fuckin’ told you you’d hate me -”

    “Wait,” Izuku blurts out, pulling at Katsuki’s hand until he's practically splayed across the booth, “me!?”

    Or:
    After a decade apart, best friends Katsuki (second in command of his mother’s fashion empire and unintentional Cupid) and Izuku (Torino’s most charismatic bartender and struggling romantic) stumble upon each other in what could be none other than a twist of fate on the most romantic day of the year.

    Who knew a week later they’d be embroiled in a 6-month fake dating scheme to save Katsuki from an unwanted arranged marriage and to keep Izuku’s most-recent ex off his back?

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku never became a hero. No quirk, no U.A., no cape. Instead, he became a surgeon. One of the youngest in Japan, saving lives with scalpels instead of superpowers. It isn’t the dream he once had, but it’s the one he’s built for himself.
    He’s content. Really. He swears he is.

    …Until a fatal accident drags his childhood bully into his operating room. Katsuki Bakugou—loud, reckless, number fifteen in the rankings, and bleeding out on Izuku’s table. Now Izuku has to save the life of the boy who made his own childhood miserable. And Katsuki has to figure out how to live with a debt he never wanted: owing his life to Deku.

    Slow burn. Hurt, comfort, and maybe something more—if they can stop screaming at each other long enough to figure it out.

    Summary

    Katsuki doesn’t make it out of the war alive, but, according to some fucked up stroke of fate, it turns out ghosts do exist; just not in the way we originally perceived them.

    Izuku, after acquiring a quirk under mysterious circumstances, finds that disturbing fact out rather quickly; In the form of discovering that his childhood bully, best friend, and rival never left his side after he died, that is.

    Now Katsuki just has to figure out how to justify doing that without seeming like a creep, while Izuku is left wondering why the blonde is suddenly being so goddamn nice to him.

    Summary

    In this world of Quirks and Heroes, most people also have a Soulmate. Hanahaki is what happens when a Bond is unrequited.

    Bakugou Katsuki fought a war. Now he is going to be a full-fledged hero like he always dreamed he would be. Nothing will get in the way of his dream. Not even the flowers growing in his lungs.

    Because, if he isn't Midoriya Izuku's Soulmate and he isn't a hero... what even is he?
