    Summary

    One year after graduating from UA, Izuku Midoriya has found his calling—splitting his time between pro hero work and teaching the next generation at his alma mater. His life is structured, fulfilling, and exactly what he'd always dreamed of.
    Then Katsuki Bakugo starts showing up.
    What begins as occasional guest lectures turns into regular classroom interruptions, chance encounters in the hallways, and late-night dinners that feel less like obligation and more like coming home. They've been in each other's orbit their entire lives—childhood friends, bitter rivals, war-time allies—but this feels different. Softer. Like something's shifting between them that neither quite knows how to name.
    As the school year progresses and their lives become increasingly intertwined, Izuku and Katsuki must navigate the space between friendship and something more. Between the people they've always been and the people they're becoming. Between explosive classroom debates and quiet moments that make Izuku's heart race.
    Some things are worth taking slowly. Some burns are worth the wait.

    Summary

    Katsuki and Izuku have settled into a comfortable rhythm following graduation, Dynamight rising in the Pro Hero ranks at Best Jeanist's agency and Izuku thriving as a teacher at UA -- but something is missing, and they both know it.

    The immediate aftermath of Deku being offered the suit, the eventual confession long overdue on both sides, and some angst in between. And, of course, fluff and smut because this is entirely an indulgent pet project to get me through the turmoil that is the end of the show (and 431)

    ***NOTE: They get together in chapter 6, and then beyond that is purely cutesie/angsty/fluffy/smutty/prohero BKDK life because why not lol. I'll keep adding because I can, so feel free to keep reading!!***

    Summary

    When the love of your life dies, what else do you have to live for?

    In the wake of Izuku Midoriya's passing, the two people closest to him struggle to face the life they are left to live in his absence. Grief presses down on them like an endless storm, each day colored by memories that linger in the quiet spaces Izuku used to fill. Yet, as they navigate the emptiness, learning to coexist with loss, they discover that even shattered hearts can hold hope, and that the love they shared with Izuku can guide them through the darkness toward a future unwritten.

    Summary

    Ignorant, we are, to what truly happened within those eight years aside from the tinted windows of unfulfillment. The misery and conflicting ecstasy that is realization and growth.

    It is only through Katsuki’s perspective that we learn just what all happened, and how much he made it his endeavour to bring Izuku back exactly where he belongs.

    (Based on the song My Endeavour by Ruby Roberts)

    Summary

    Bakugo writhed under her hold in what looked like denial. She didn’t know it was deep-seated satisfaction.

    He’d found someone worthy of him. Someone who would make him stronger; who didn’t cower away when he yelled, but laughed back even louder. A fire as bright as him, even if she shone a different colour.

    He had the answer he wanted.
    She didn’t know the question yet.
    Neither had any idea where it would take them.

     

    Or: What starts as a spar in their first year at UA turns into an agreement that changes the trajectory of both of their lives, always pulling them out of their darkest places.

     

    *M rating for violence toward the end, no smut. Updated notes so you know what you’re getting into
