Summary
Listen, Shen Yuan knows she should leave her apartment more, okay? She gets it. Luckily, there's a pretty obscure, bougie cafe open until 3am just a block and a half from her apartment. She could be one of those cool college students who post up in a coffee shop to study, right? Actually, don't answer that.
She was not expecting her study routine to line up with this snarky barista's work schedule though! How's she supposed to get any work done when someone this attractive is so blatantly judging her??

The Shape of Rain by Justpiyoko

Summary
Hit by a quirk, Bakugou Katsuki wakes up twelve years in the past — in a house he recognizes, with a version of himself he barely remembers and a version of Izuku he never deserved.
What follows is not really a second chance, but something much harder than that.
A story about guilt, proximity, and the distance between who you were and who you're trying to become.
For the boy who tried to fix the past and the one who waited for him in the present.
"Nii-chan." Izuku's voice was soft with awe. "You saved me."
Katsuki's pulse roared in his ears and he held on a beat too long, because Katsuki knew, standing here with this child solid and warm against his chest, that those words were not true.
He hadn't saved him. Not really. Not in any way that counted.
This bright, reckless, stubborn kid was going to fall in ways that mattered, and Katsuki was going to be the one who let him. He had stood close enough to catch Izuku his whole life and chosen, again and again, to step back instead.

Summary
He needed this? Need was a big fucking word.
Truth was, Katsuki didn’t have time for any of this shit.
He didn’t have time for awkward flirting in bars or getting dragged through dating apps by his friends or pretending he knew how normal people met each other anymore. One-night stands required effort, relationships required time, and Katsuki had neither of those things, which is the real reason why he had agreed to this insane idea.
You’ll blow off some steam. Plus, the boys are really cute. Is what Mina had said.
So, did Katsuki need this?
Yeah. Probably.Some people fall in love slowly. They do it over months, over years, over shared mornings and ordinary days.
Katsuki and Izuku only have one night. It was supposed to be a transaction, just a fantasy, an orchestrated illusion to seek the intimacy none of them ever had. At least, that was the deal."I’m gonna love you like this is my last fuckin’ night on earth." Katsuki shivered for just a second before whispering against his temple. "And I wanna spend my last fuckin’ night with nobody but you.”

Aphelion by Justpiyoko

Summary
Aphelion (n.) – the point in the orbit of a planet or a comet at which it is farthest from the sun.
Izuku kept a straight face even as his stomach turned, trying to choke him from the inside.
"Kacchan is back?"
Todoroki blinked in silence, reassessing what he had probably assumed was shared information between the two of them.
"Yes." He said. "There was a welcome back thing, I was actually surprised you weren't there."
It was pretty clear why he had not been there.
They had drifted. That was the right word for it: Drifted.***
When a UA student goes missing, GEMGD Agency gets assigned to his rescue, with Katsuki leading the operation and Izuku appointed as faculty expert. Now forced to work together, the feelings Katsuki thought he had buried resurface in the most unhealthy way possible.
"Are you sleeping with him?"
"So I'm sleeping with him, Mina. Why the fuck do you care?"
"Tell me how this is different, Katsuki. Tell me how drinking until you pass out, training past your limit, taking every patrol shift available is different from three years ago, because from where I'm standing it looks exactly the same. Except now there's also this."Bookmarked by soft_boiled

How To Date Your Husband? by ReinaaSmol

Summary
“Let’s get married.”
The bite mark hidden beneath Izuku’s hoodie throbbed in response. A painful reminder of that day back in Aldera Junior High—a scuffle gone too far, Katsuki’s mouth pressed over his mating gland.
Katsuki had just graduated from U.A. He was about to become an official sidekick under Best Jeanist.
The spotlight was coming for him.
A scandal—especially one involving bonding during adolescence—could derail everything. Japan still held very traditional views on alpha and omega dynamics. If the public believed a rising pro hero had recklessly bitten an omega classmate—had promptly ditched that omega and never taken responsibility—the backlash could be severe.
“Yes, Kacchan.”

Summary
This is the way the world works: the sun rises in the east. The strong come out on top. Bakugou Katsuki rockets through life like a comet and Midoriya Izuku stumbles after. If he believed in such things Katsuki would say it was written in the stars. That some god of war had looked at him and said this one. That he’d been passed along a line to get his blessings – genius, willpower, fearless ambition – and dropped off on earth.
Then, of course, there is the question of Deku. The spitfire runt. Deku, no matter what the world does to him, never stops hoping.
Until, of course, he eventually does.
(Katsuki broke him. Snapped him in half like a twig and now has to scramble to put Deku back together. “We can do this, Deku," he says slowly. "There are so many mysteries that never got put to bed. Criminals roaming around looking to hurt people and you and me, we can fix that.”
There’s a long pause. The comforter slips a little off Deku’s skinny shoulders and drowns him. “You mean like a team?”
In that split second, Katsuki makes a decision he’s never even considered. He swallows his pride. “Yeah, Deku. We’d be a team.”)
