    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.”

    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."

    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.”)

    Summary

    The year is 1813, and Izuku is perfectly happy to roam the countryside and waste his days in carefree bliss. But life, as it happens, has other plans. Mr. Yagi is dying, and his considerable fortune? Completely out of reach. Why? Because Izuku and his siblings are omegas.

    The solution? Well… It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single alpha in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a mate.

    The prospect alone is trouble enough to make his head spin. And if that isn’t enough, he also must deal with the new leasers of the neighboring estate, and the obnoxious, rude, proud guest they bring.

    If nothing else, Mr. Bakugou is here to teach Izuku one infuriating lesson: a fortune may make a man, but it doesn’t make him tolerable.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan was apparently, an average disciple.

    According to Ning Yingying and some older Shimei’s, everyone had been baffled when Shizun had made him a personal disciple. He was good enough to be an inner disciple but not the best by a long shot, and Shizun only took The Best. He didn’t get into any of the infighting senior disciples normally did for their Shizun’s favor because according to Ning Yingying

    “Shizun thinks Shen-Shixiong is a lazy brat, and Shixiong doesn’t care what anyone thinks ‘cause he’s always trying to get off the mountain to go hunt monsters like he’s some Bai Zhan Brute.” She had then assured Luo Binghe that he’d love Shen Yuan.

    Luo Binghe has a sinking feeling in his chest that perhaps, this is the most accurate thing his Shijie has ever said to him.

    Summary

    “I want to open our relationship.”

    Izuku blinked. “What?”

    ”I want an open marriage,” Shindo repeated, dictating every syllable, enunciating slowly— as if Izuku somehow hadn't heard him the first time.

     

    -or-

     

    Izuku is withering in a one-sided, open marriage with his piece of shit husband, Shindo.

    Katsuki decides to sweep Izuku off his feet while he has the chance.

     

    *inspired by those reddit posts on tiktok with the minecraft parkour in the background that are like “my (24M) spouse (25M) asked to open our marriage and now they want to close it because i found someone else that treats me like royalty”

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

    Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

    Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

    Summary

    Katsuki turned towards him, one arm propped leisurely along the top of the sofa, and Izuku immediately felt the heat of the intensity of his gaze as it settled on him.

    “It’s really not that bad of an idea, y’know?”

    “...What is?” Izuku asked, feeling dumb and flustered under Katsuki’s ardent stare.

    “Sex.”

    He must’ve been dreaming. Or hallucinating. Or having some strange, out-of-body experience.

    The word fell from Katsuki’s lips nonchalantly, like it was the most normal thing to bring up in casual conversation. Izuku blushed furiously. He felt the burn in his cheeks and ears; his entire face had to be bright red. The word kept repeating in Izuku’s mind, the echo of it bouncing off the walls of his skull in his best friend’s alluring baritone.

    Sex, sex, sex….

     

    or workaholic izuku struggles to relax while balancing school life, hero life, and personal life. obviously, his only solution is a friends-with-benefits relationship with his best friend, which definitely won’t affect their secret undercover mission at all.

    Summary

    There's very few people that a daemon will seek touch from outside of their holder or other daemons. Best friends, even if Izuku wanted to believe that he'd ever sincerely been that for Kacchan, are rarely one of the exceptions.

    By when Izuku's life has come crashing down —by when he's left with the option of staying still until he turns to dust or walk walk walk on the shards until he bleeds—, he already knows his relationship with Kacchan has always been an anomaly.

    It's only later that he discovers that what's really extraordinary is Adara.

    Summary

    Izuku cannot die.

    Well. That's not exactly true.

    Izuku cannot stay dead.

    Katsuki's taunts push Izuku past a point of no return, only for Izuku to return, again and again and again. At first resistant to become close to Izuku, over time their bond pulls them inexorably closer together until they crash into each other and hurtle through their lives with enough force to change all those that surround them. Caught in the machinations of forces both seen and unseen, they twist and strain and contort themselves in an effort to stay joined, stay together. But the truth of their relationship is obvious by now; near or far, together or apart, they circle each other as two stars locked in each other's gravitational pull. Their lives and their futures plummet toward each other, unrelenting and unstoppable.

    But so long as they can trust each other, they just might survive the fall.

    Summary

    And don’t even get him started on Izuku.

    Because if there’s one alpha on this planet who seems hellbent on dragging Katsuki into the pheromonal fuckfest he wants nothing to do with, it’s that curly-haired, over-eager, green tea-scented menace.

     

    Or; Katsuki is a beta just trying to live his life in a world full of alphas and omegas. One alpha makes that hard. (And even harder when a mission's safe house happens).

    Summary

    Pro Hero Bakugou Katsuki is on his way... to the bottom. His ratings suck, his reputation sucks, and even his agency has it out for him. Katsuki can see rock-bottom coming, but he can do nothing but brace for the inevitable, painful impact.

    Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku hit rock bottom months ago. He's pulling himself back to his feet, working shitty jobs with shitty pay and just doing his best to eat most days. At least he's not in debt anymore, though. At least he has a roof over his head.

    On Katsuki's way down and on Izuku's way up, they catch each other.

    X

    Or, after five years apart, Katsuki and Izuku meet again under equally humbling circumstances. Things improve from there.
