The meeting didn’t come.
All Friday evening, Katsuki had waited to be tapped on the shoulder and sent upstairs, or for someone to knock on his apartment door and drag him down to the office, but after a long, sleepless night, Katsuki found himself in his usual spot, at his usual time, knocking on...

Katsuki sat himself down on the comfortable couch, glancing at his phone before he fully settled in. He’d given up his morning runs for the time being, but it was still an old habit to be up by five, giving him plenty of time to chill in the mornings before he met up with people at six. ...

It wasn’t often that Katsuki was sent anywhere other than the gym first thing in the morning – well, aside from his meetings with Deku – but there he was, not even seven a.m. yet, grimacing as he knocked on a plain office door down a quiet corridor. He was still kind of amazed by t...
2024-01-02 09:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you have a resolution for the new year?” Izuku asked, nudging Katsuki lightly with his shoulder.
“To spend more time with you.”
Izuku froze, eyes wide – he didn’t have a response loaded for that, had never expected anything remotely close to that sort of answer. He half-expected Katsuki to start laughing, to sneer at him for even considering that he might mean it, but when he glanced over, Katsuki’s face was as impassive as ever. Other than anger, or feigned ange...

“I never imagined you could have so many options just from a few ingredients!” Izuku mused, as he stirred up a pot of bubbling water, gently rolling the vegetables around the base. “They’re so good individually, but the combinations you all make are amazing.”
“You don’t do half badly yourself!” Mirio chuckled. “Those mashed potatoes the other night we...
SmashHit: Hey! Just got home from work, late night again :( How are you doing??
KillerKing: Alright. You eat something?
Katsuki set his phone down on the desk, sighing as he leaned back to stare at the dull, beige ceiling. It always made his stomach churn in a weird way when he got notifications from that app, even if he enjoyed himself on it most of the time. He didn’t interact much, preferred to just scroll through forums with interesting names and lurk in th...
2023-06-30 07:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostKatsuki grimaced as he dropped the shot glass back onto the sticky bar, the whole room blurring before his eyes, until he blinked it back into submission. His head felt fuzzy, like his brain had been replaced with cotton wool, and the voices around him had long since faded into dull drones.
“Are you alright?” a voice asked, so close to his ear that it actually managed to break through the haze, and he was sure he would have jumped if his reaction time had been a little sharper. “H...
2023-06-23 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIzuku had known for a long time that Katsuki was... different.
Well, Katsuki was unique in a lot of ways, of course! The single-mindedness when it came to being a hero and the drive to be the best, the determination, the self-confidence bordering on arrogance that most teenagers would kill for, and of course the talent and strength to back it up. But beyond all that, beyond all those things that everyone in the world could see, there was something... more.
He still reme...
“I’m so glad you called,” Ochako said, her words quick and light and filling Izuku with a knowing sense of dread. “There’s this club-”
“Ochako,” Izuku whined. “Please don’t do this to me again.”
“Hear me out!” Ochako insisted. “There’s this club, and I’ve been there before, it was super cool, great vibes, even better music, and it’s specifically for queer people.”
“I know what a gay bar is, Ochako.”
“You’ve never...
2023-05-31 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIzuku’s head filled with a familiar static, but this time he jumped up eagerly, looking around for the lights. He’d been waiting anxiously for another visit, in the few days since the last one – he had so many questions.
“Izuku?”
Izuku whipped around, finding the glowing lights waiting at his back, and grinned when he saw the much older, more attractive versio...

[Chapter 3]
Izuku groaned as he rolled over, a weird buzzing sound filling his brain. He cracked his eyes open, expecting to see Kiyomi lying awake playing games on his phone again, but both the kids were sound asleep on the mattress up above him, hands linked together atop the blankets. He sat up, then, bracing himself to hunt d...
Izuku couldn’t help but laugh when Masaru opened the front door, his eyes widening as he took in the tiny figures looking up at him. Kisaku seemed torn, unsure whether to hide behind his family or to leap into Masaru’s arms, instead left dithering with one hand on Katsuki’s leg and one hand reaching toward Masaru. Thankfully, Masaru recovered quickly, making the decision for him; he s...

Izuku jumped when the door slammed open, holding a little tighter to Kisaku in his lap. They’d started watching videos on Izuku’s laptop, while Katsuki and Kiyomi played some old fighting game on Katsuki’s one together, and Izuku suspected he wasn’t the only one who had lost track of time.
“We went shopping!” Ashido announced, holding up her handfuls of bags. “Gather ‘round...
They’d started dating partway through second year, some time during their summer break. Izuku didn’t know the exact date though, and kind of hated himself for that, since neither of them had ever technically asked. At some point, as they hung out in the park under the hot sun, as they sprawled in Katsuki’s bedroom with the Bakugous’ powerful aircon running, as they traded lazy punches in the empty parking lot behind the Midoriyas’ apartment building, things had just… prog...
2023-05-02 10:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostKatsuki wasn’t sure why they even still had a landline phone in their house, considering they only ever got spam calls on it, but for some stupid reason Izuku was insistent that they keep it. He cursed his husband’s name every time the damn thing rang, but still he diligently hauled himself up off the couch to answer it, knowing the one time he didn’t pick up would no doubt be the one time Izuku was calling it because there was an emergency and he’d forgotte...

Katsuki had just been invited to sit down at their daily six o’clock meeting, and before Deku even handed over the timetable, he was frowning at Katsuki across the desk.
“I only work with people who earn my attention,” Deku said sternly. “Not the entitled brats. The entitled brats get se...

“Start over.”
Katsuki scowled, refusing to meet the stern eyes that he’d rarely seen so dark in the media – he hadn’t even handed over the essay yet, and he was already being told to do it again?! The asshole hadn’t even looked at it!
“Go to the door.”
“Haah?”
“Go to the door.”
Despite his scowl deep...
For the first time in his life, Katsuki felt a little intimidated, as he pushed the button on the intercom. The building was huge and looked brand-new despite being at least three years old, with only the latest state-of-the-art technology installed, and an impeccably groomed garden out the fr...

“Bakugou, come see me before you go to lunch.”
Katsuki sighed. It was never a good thing when Aizawa called him over personally; it was usually to lecture him about swearing in class (again) or insulting his classmates (again) or blowing up the training room (again). Considering their most recent class, he suspected this one was going to be about internships. As much as ...
It's time for our final WIP of the month! The last few days of Bakugatsu will present to you In Your Shadow, my current pet-project/what I consider my magnum opus for the moment. Don't forget there are spoilers in this post, so watch out!
In Your Shadow is a canon-divergent fic wherein Izuku, instead of growing up with Katsuki and being in his class etc, is a few years older. While they grew up in the same town, given the age difference between them they never really crossed paths, and ...

Izuku watched in awe as Mei fussed over her latest creation, babbling so quickly that he couldn’t even make out half of her words. He didn’t entirely understand what she was on about, until she attached a black box to the side of the pile of tubes and began stomping on it, forcing air through the system with her steps, and before his eyes a little tent began to rise and take shape. The tu...
[Chapter 2]
Katsuki didn’t wait around to hear the words, he could already see it in their faces. Their last set of experiments had been another failure; if they’d managed to grow anything at all, it was weak and small, nowhere near enough to feed the people of the town. If they were lucky, it might feed one of the reindeer who lived among them. There had been a lot of talk about those, too, but...
[Chapter 1]
Izuku woke up with an indent in his cheek, where the edge of a book pressed into it. His mother would lecture him if she found out he fell asleep with his nose in a book again, but he just couldn’t help it – especially in the dead of winter, when there was little else to do. The lantern Mei had built for him years ago still held plenty of charge from the sunlight they got during the day, ...
Katsuki’s fingers tugged at the zip on his coat, fidgeting, but when a burst of cold wind went straight through the small opening, he regretted it immediately. He shivered slightly, pulling it quickly back up to his chin and shoving his gloved hands back in his pockets, and waited for the whistle of the wind to calm down a little before he spoke again.
“I understand,” he forced out finally, jaw tight. “I do, really.”
“I know you do,” Denki nodded. “And I know you...
Starting today you'll be seeing the initial chapters of All Who Wander - another fic that will be very long by the time I finish it. This one is much more recently spawned than the others so far, and I've spent probably a hundred hours on planning it so far - the mindmap is wild on this one.
All Who Wander is an AU based on a Harvest Moon game I was obsessed with last year - I know how ridiculous that sounds, trust me. It's gonna be a very slow burn as Katsuki and Izuku won't e...
2023-04-12 03:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time Katsuki woke up, Izuku was already buzzing around the house like he couldn't contain his excitement any longer. Considering he was running on a three hour nap, Katsuki was less than enthusiastic about dealing with his energetic ass, but when Izuku dove onto the bed and planted a kiss on his lips, he couldn't resist a tiny smile.
“It's today, Kacchan!”

2023-04-11 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIzuku and Katsuki had walked the same patrol area for the better part of the past five years, and it had become a familiar routine. They had four different route maps, each one tracing different directions they could go to make their circuit of various landmarks in different orders, and each day they changed it up a little to keep villains on their toes. Everyone in the area knew them, ...

With that, Izuku proudly took two caretakers from the Home through their handiwork, pointing out all the things that...
