    Summary

    “Do you ever get tired of it?” Touya asked. “Eating shit food out of dumpsters and bathing in public bathrooms?”

    “I do,” Izuku answered, honestly. “But I’m free this way.”

    “What if you could be free and have a roof over your head too?”

    Izuku gave him an amused look. “I can’t. I’m eight years old and, technically, don’t exist. It’s not as if I could get a job to pay rent.”

    “I could though,” Touya said, voice oddly strained as he made the offer. “If you wanted. To live like that, instead.”

    Wherein Izuku has All for One, uses it to help whoever he can, and stumbles across a family along the way.

    Summary

    Izuku is in the Support Course, perfectly happy having given up his dream of being a Hero long ago. It’s just not possible for him with the nature of his quirk. As long as he continues to manage his quirk, life should be easy sailing. . . right? The teachers of UA think otherwise and become particularly concerned when he and Hatsume help in a training course. All his life, Izuku has kept moving foward. It's how he survived. But if he wants to keep moving forward, he will have to finally face his past.

    Summary

    Heavy, wet breathing, and a choked-off voice: “C-come in. Please. Someone, come in. This is Midoriya Izuku. Bakugou Katsuki and I are t-trapped—”

    He cuts himself off, just as Katsuki fuzzily realizes his head is pillowed on Izuku’s thigh. His thoughts come in slow like molasses.

    Izuku breathes hard. “—Under a building. We’re under the building.”

    //

    or:

    Izuku has had this thing about him that Katsuki has never been able to name, but he's been chasing it since he learned how to run. It takes a catastrophic building collapse during their third year and a severe concussion for him to realize what it is.

    Aizawa loses ten years off his life. When does he not.

    Summary

    Katsuki remembers it, vaguely; they’d gone out for patrol and immediately gotten mobbed by Uwabami’s rabid fans. Some guy asked for a hug. He had most of his face covered, and he wouldn’t let go even though Uwabami kept telling him to stop. Yaoyorozu had seen it and Katsuki had stepped in, yanking him off Uwabami but the guy grabbed him instead and-

     “Wait,” he says as his brain catches up with his ears. “What?”

    “He tried to attack Uwabami,” says Kestrel patiently. “But you and Bakugou got in the way and-”

    “Me and Bakugou?” says Katsuki, digging his ears. “I’m Bakugou.”

     

    (Katsuki and Momo get bodyswapped during their internship. It's terrible. Partly because of the weird new jiggly bits, but mostly because Momo now has to deal with Katsuki's giant, nauseating crush on Izuku Midoriya.

    And Katsuki, unfortunately, has to deal with fucking Todoroki.)

    Summary

    Katsuki frowns. “You think I’m in love with fucking Deku?”

    Deku flits to the forefront of his mind. Deku who he apologized to, who forgave him, who became his friend happily and without hesitation. Who told him about One For All, who is unflinchingly brave and stupidly reckless and thinks Katsuki is amazing.

    “Shit,” Katsuki says, “I’m in love with fucking Deku.”

    ----------

    Or, katsuki realizes he has hanahaki disease, figures out who it's for, and confesses, all within ten minutes. it's deku's problem, anyway.
