    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya has always been good.

    The good son. The good student. The good friend. In a house built on expectations and quiet control, he learned how to be exactly what people need him to be... and nothing else. When a bible studies project forces him back into the orbit of Katsuki Bakugo - the boy who was once his entire world and then became nothing at all - he's forced to ask a question he's spent years avoiding.

    If other people can choose who they become... can he?

    This is a story about quiet control, inherited expectations, friendship, first love, and the terrifying process of becoming a person when you’ve spent your whole life being what everyone else needed.

    Summary

    It's eight pm on a Friday and Katsuki is in Izuku's lap, which is where he ends up most Friday nights lately — a pattern neither of them has named out loud, but both of them have started to anticipate by Thursday afternoon.

    "Just the tip," Katsuki says, his voice thin and breathless. "We said just—"

    "I know," Izuku says, and his hands are trembling, his whole body tense with the effort of not pulling Katsuki down, not taking more than what was offered. "I know, just the tip, I'm not—"

    Katsuki grinds forward again and the head drags along his inner walls and his entrance contracts around it, pulling, trying to draw it deeper, and a sound leaves him that's closer to a whimper than anything he'd ever admit to.

    He can feel every detail of it now — the smoothness of the skin, the way it's slick with his own wetness, the way the ridge catches on his entrance with each backward grind before the crown settles back into place. His walls are clenching rhythmically around the intrusion, trying to pull it deeper even as he keeps his hips elevated enough to prevent it.

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugo’s freshman year started with being dragged to a stupid frat party against his will.

    It somehow ended with seven disastrous minutes in a dark closet with a hot stranger he never forgot.

    One year later, Katsuki is focused, disciplined, and finally back in control of his life.

    Then Mustafu University assigns him a tutoring job he can’t refuse.

    Unfortunately, the student he’s assigned to tutor is Midoriya Izuku.

    The same rich party boy who kissed him senseless during frosh week and vanished afterward.

    Katsuki already knows this is a horrible idea.

    Thus begins the tutor assignment from hell.

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugo thought becoming a therapist would be easy enough. Listen to the patient, study the symptoms, make a diagnosis. Simple.

    Then he met Izuku Midoriya.

    At first, Midoriya just seemed like a normal university student with a lot of issues and unresolved childhood trauma. Nervous habits, weird injuries, emotional breakdowns, nothing Bakugo thought he couldn't handle.

    But after a while, things stopped making sense.

    People started going missing around the city. Midoriya would show up to sessions hurt with excuses that never really added up. And sometimes, the things he said sounded a little too similar to details from nearby crime scenes.

    Bakugo should've noticed sooner.

    Instead, he got attached.

    And Midoriya was never going to let him leave.

    Summary

    California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep.

    Katsuki expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, he survives by keeping his hatred alive. And what he hates most are the men who use him, leaving he empty and dead inside.

    Then he meets Midoriya Izuku. A man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything, Midoriya obeys God’s call to marry Katsuki and to love him unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Katsuki’s every bitter expectation, until despite his resistance, his frozen heart begins to thaw.

    But with his unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Katsuki runs. Back to the darkness, away from his husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth he no longer can deny: His final healing must come from the One who loves him even more than Midoriya does … the One who will never let him go.
