Summary
“Now that you’ve met everyone in my class, who’s your favorite?”
Eri stares at him. “You.”
Deku laughs a little, even though he looks happy to hear it. “That’s very sweet,” he says, “but I meant out of everyone else.”
Oh. Eri considers this, but after what happened today she doesn’t really have to think about it. “Kacchan,” she tells him. She likes Kacchan because he’s nice and because he doesn’t treat her like she’s fragile and because he made her cookies. And she knows Deku likes him a lot, too, so she knows it’s a good answer.
“Do you want to know a secret, Eri?” Deku smiles again. “Kacchan is my favorite, too.”
Or Katsuki makes it his business to befriend Eri, and realizes he has a lot in common with this traumatized kid.

stellar characterization all around and an absolute treat to read. Loved Eri’s and Katsuki’s interactions, as well as Aizawa’s protectiveness and fondness of all of his children.

The Big Birthday Do-Over by willowsick

Summary
"I'm in a time loop."
A beat. Kirishima just keeps looking at him.
"Like Groundhog Day?"
Katsuki brings the hand around to his face, dropping his forehead into his palm. "Of fucking course you— Yes," Katsuki confirms, annoyed, "like Groundhog Day."
Kirishima nods, sagely. "Okay. That's… That's not the worst thing, I guess."
"Yeah, well, that's not all."
Kirishima eyes him warily. "There's more to it than just a time loop?"
"I'm also technically from the future."
or, Katsuki's 26th birthday is off to a rough start when he runs into a villain. The worst part? He gets quirked to relive the worst night of his life: the night of Shoto's dinner party and the night Izuku rejected him. Oh yeah, and it's a time loop. So he gets to relive it over, and over, and over.
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
Or is it?
or, OR, Katsuki is offered the opportunity to do-over the biggest regrets of his life. Will he succeed? Or will he be stuck reliving those regrets over and over.

My goodness, this is a real gem. Katsuki’s characterisation is perfect: his doubts, his regrets, his analytical thinking, his quiet longing for Izuku; it all comes through so well. The post-canon fix we all need.

Summary
He wants everyone staring at him in the corridors to get a fucking grip, because Katsuki is doing just fine. The world’s still turning and he’s still at U.A, he’s doing his calculus equations when asked and he's still training to become the number one hero.
He also happens to just... not have a mom anymore. Something that apparently has contaminated him in the eyes of every single person in the school.
(Bakugou Katsuki loses his mother in a freak and tragic accident. All he can do is watch as everyone else in his life treats him like glass and wonders why he hasn't fallen apart yet.
Maybe he won't. Maybe he's fine.
He just can't let Kirishima talk to him).

All the feels. Tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat. I love the journey Katsuki is going through with letting himself grief and accepting help from his classmates and friends.

Summary
“Why,” Katsuki says slowly. It sounds threatening, which is great, even if the real reason is that he’s struggling to modulate his voice. “Are. You. Here?”
“Is it too late to change my mind?” Deku asks, fists grabbing his jacket in what Katsuki knows is an attempt at hiding his nerves.
or
If pining for another person was a competition, Bakugo and Midoriya would be joint world-record holders.

Great rewrite of canon events after the unhappily received epilogue. Katsuki’s unrequited yearning hurts.

Bookmarker's Notes
“The maelstrom of emotions in this is unreal. Izuku’s breakdown, Katsuki’s ceaseless devotion, the breaking of the news of Project Deku to the class and Katsuki’s confession. It was all so emotionally entwined and so so satisfying to read.”
