This is where the flames start lying to themselves. Nozumi (Zu) Misaki has made her choice. Todoroki is safe. Todoroki is gentle. With him, the fire doesn't burn out of control - it feels steady, warm, kind. They move like a perfect team, no explosions, no guessing what every sharp word really means. He never demands she prove she's not her father's daughter. For once, she can just breathe. But her stupid heart still stutters like an idiot every time Bakugo gets too close. And lately... he's been getting way too close. What started as a fragile, hard-won "friendship" - no more screaming matches, no more walls of rage - is quietly turning into something far more dangerous. Peace feels good between them. Too good. Shared silences that linger. Glances that last a second too long. The terrifying realization that being around each other doesn't feel like a battlefield anymore. It feels like home. Zu is dating Todoroki. Bakugo still refuses to admit he wants more than "friends." And everyone - including them - is lying through their teeth. Because some fires refuse to stay quiet. Some explosions don't know how to be gentle. And some hearts were never built for safe choices. Volume 3 of the long-ass series. The slowburn gets crueler. The tension gets unbearable. The guilt, the want, the what-ifs - all of it collides. No one walks away unscathed. No one gets what they think they want. Not yet. You've been warned. 🔥 MHA | OC × Katsuki Bakugo (with Todoroki entanglement) | Glacial slowburn | Love triangle angst | She fell first, he fell harder (but now she's trying not to) | Messy emotions, self-deception, zero easy outs | Kitsune quirk | Redemption & heartbreak

This is where the fire starts. Nozumi (Zu) Misaki walks into the Sports Festival already cracked open - haunted by failures she can't outrun, a kitsune quirk that burns hotter with every secret she hides, and the growing fear that she's exactly what the world expects her to become. Old scars rip wide. New threats circle closer. Bakugo keeps pushing, brutal and relentless. Kirishima tries to hold the pieces together. And when Hawks steps in, everything shifts. She's not fighting for strength anymore. She's chasing answers - about her father's shadow, her own monstrous power, and why the one boy who feels like the sun keeps burning her without even realizing it. She fell first, quietly and completely. He'll fall harder... but only after he shatters what little she had left. Because Bakugo Katsuki still hasn't learned how to hold something soft without exploding it. Volume 2 of the long-ass series. More heartbreak. Deeper scars. Slower realizations. No easy comfort, no quick forgiveness. If you survived Volume 1, buckle up tighter - the flames are only getting started. ⚠️ Angst-heavy slowburn | OC × Katsuki Bakugo | She fell first, he fell harder (after breaking her) | Kitsune quirk | Redemption arc | Messy emotions | Tangled baggage | Zero quick fixes

⚠️ HARD PASS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE PAIN OC × Katsuki Bakugo longfic. Very slowburn. Like, glacial. Dozens of chapters before he even realizes he's in too deep. Messy emotions, tangled baggage, zero quick fixes. If you need instant fluff or confessions by chapter 10, exit now-save us both the block. Nozumi (Zu) Misaki was born carrying fire-and a villain's shadow. Daughter of a kitsune leader who fell to darkness, she's marked by burning scars, a quirk that could save or destroy, and a world that already whispers she'll turn out just like him. U.A. isn't a dream; it's her battlefield to prove she's not doomed. Redemption isn't pretty-it's guilt, fear, power that hurts, secrets that could shatter everything, and a flame she has to learn to control before it consumes her. Somewhere in the chaos, Bakugo enters the picture. She falls first-quietly and devastatingly so. She sees the explosive guy the world runs away from as the sun itself. He falls harder... eventually. But first, he breaks her heart without even meaning to. Because this boy has no clue how to hold anything soft without crushing it. She's the one space where he doesn't have to prove he's the best-she already knows. Too bad he's too busy exploding everything to notice he's breaking the only person who never demanded proof. This is Volume 1 of a multi-volume series. Long ride ahead. Heartbreak, growth, scars that don't fade easy. No rushing. No apologies. No easy outs. You've been warned. 🔥 MHA | Original Female Character | Incredibly Frustrating Slowburn | OC × Bakugo | She fell first, he fell harder (after breaking her) | Angst-heavy | Redemption | Kitsune Quirk | Long-ass fic (buckle up)
