Title: What’s a Detroit?
Prompt: Day 5 (Apologizing for Bullying/Make Believe)
Warnings: Spoilers to Izuku vs Muscular
Pairings: BakuDeku/KatsuDeku
Summary: “Come on, Kacchan, we’re playing pretend. You can tell me, even if I don’t have a quirk, right?” (aka: All Might shouts random American locations with his attacks and Izuku doesn’t get it, but Kacchan is smart and has a quirk, so he’d know, right?)
Midoriya: Kids, let me tell you the story about how I became a hero
Bakugou: At least you’re not telling that dumbass story about how we met
*cue How I Met Your Mother jingle*
Title: The One to Save You
Prompt: Day 4 (Free Day, aka, write whatever you want)
Warnings: Spoilers to kid flashbacks in the series and the second episode
Pairings: BakuDeku/KatsuDeku
Summary: “You’re quirkless, Deku. You can’t do anything. But don’t worry, cuz I’ll be the one to save you.”
One thing I really adore about the BNHA fandom (from what I’ve seen, I’m new here) is that they remember that Deku is strong even if he’s small.
I remember being in fandoms where small characters were immediately wilted down (particularly in yaoi pairings) even if in their respective series, they were strong as hell.
Deku did a ton of strength training and continues to do so throughout the series. This was before getting One For All, too, so I really appreciate when fic writers remember that he’s strong. Like this is the kid who raced through a forest with two broken arms. Just because you write him as a bottom doesn’t mean he’s weak, it just means he’s on the bottom. He can still punch out a robot and bounce off of walls with ease. And from the fics I’ve read writers remember that, which is awesome.
Basically thank you for treating Izuku Midoriya like the strong person he is even if he’s small.
I haven’t written fic in FOREVER but that’s the power of BNHA I guess.
Title: Two Steps To Breaking
Warnings: Angst, spoilers up to the Hideout Raid Arc
Pairings: BakuDeku
Summary: It wasn’t just his eyes now. His voice was softer than normal. The word he should’ve been using was so obvious, but what was the point with a hero like Deku? If manufactured hatred didn’t push the boy away, what in the hell would love do?
BNHA summary: Once I learn how to throw a punch without destroying my entire body it’s over for you bitches
that’s it that’s the show
Finale confirmed.
you’ve seen Shy!Deku, now prepare for…
EvenShyer!Kacchan
It wasn’t exactly the most romantic setting. It was supposed to be, right? Maybe a grassy area overlooking the sunset, or whatever location came equipped with perfect lighting and atmosphere. But when you were training to be a hero, your time was spent at school, so there they were, in an empty stairwell, about to…
What, exactly?
Fortunately, they’d already worked out the awkward bits. Childhood friends turned rivals, or something like that, complete with aggressive declarations of each other’s names before someone beat the crap out of someone else. Regulated beat downs via training, what a dream scenario.
They were still just standing there, huh?
Someone was supposed to kiss someone. They’d discussed this, or rather, Bakugou did his gruff, “Come here, Deku,” thing, and Deku trotted after him. He’d never seen Kacchan look so flustered before, but mentioning that meant certain death. They’d ended up in the stairwell and Bakugou shifted from one foot to the other before brushing his fingers against a round, freckled cheek.
“Do I have something on my fac-”
“Shut up.”
Right. No talking.
Despite the bursts of fire that erupted from his hands, Bakugou’s fingers were surprisingly soft. When they whispered against Deku’s lips the other boy, working on pure instinct, as always, kissed them. He had his apology locked and loaded but Bakugou didn’t look angry. Instead, he pulled his hand back, closed his eyes, leaned in, and-
Time stood still. Literally. Because neither boy was taking that final step forward. Years from now, someone would ask them who made the first move, and both would have a different story to tell. Bakugou, of course, would say that stupid Deku could barely tie his own shoes let alone take the initiative and kiss a guy. Deku would be kinder about it, whisper about how surprisingly sweet the explosive young man had been. That was neither here nor there, because as their lips came together, one thought crossed their minds:
It’s finally happening.

This art is so cute so I wrote a ficlet thing because I’ve fallen into this ship pretty hard. Also I haven’t written any kind of fic thing in YEARS so THANK YOU BNHA for waking up the fic muses.
