After the war, Izuku embarks on a journey to come to terms with losing One For All. He spent three years studying in America, graduating ahead of schedule. Returning home, he senses something different in Bakugo, though he can't quite pinpoint what. As Izuku readjusts to life in Tokyo as a young adult and new teacher at U.A. High School, the two grow closer in ways neither expected. PLEASE NOTE: This is just fan fiction that I am writing for fun. NONE of the characters are my own. The cover art is a photoshopped version of some original MHA artwork and is also NOT my own. It's just a silly BKMI ship that I need to get out of my head. I'll be adding and updating the story as I go. Also, please be kind in the comments. I'm just doing this for fun.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲" "𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩.. 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤" ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ At twenty-seven, (Y/N) is done. Done with doubles. Done with understaffed night shifts. Done with scrubbing questionable substances off hospital walls. Her quirk-Chiropractor, the ability to relieve pain and tension with a touch-might make her a miracle worker, but it can't save her from burnout. She's exhausted, sarcastic, and one cracked vertebra away from quitting healthcare entirely. Then life throws her the world's most explosive curveball: She moves into the house right next door to Bakugo Katsuki-now the No. 5 Pro Hero, fully grown, annoyingly gorgeous, and carrying a secret guilt he's tried to bury for years. They haven't seen each other since their early twenties. Since that night. Their reckless, drunken, unforgettable one-night stand. To her? It was hot, wild, and not worth a shred of regret. To him? It was a mistake-not because of her, but because he thinks he didn't treat her right. Didn't ask her out. Didn't make it special. Didn't deserve it. And now that she's back in his life, his guilt turns into something unexpected: Homemade bentos. Left on her doorstep. Every morning. Like an apology he can't stop giving. But as her terrible shifts pile up, her quirk starts easing his old injuries, and their tense doorstep conversations turn into something dangerously warm, one thing becomes clear: This isn't about regret anymore. It's about healing-his body, her burnout, their past. And maybe, if the universe doesn't interfere first... something worth fighting for.

"𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡?" ---- When Pro Hero Katsuki Bakugo ends his relationship to "protect" the woman he loves, he thinks distance will make things easier-for both of them. But distance only amplifies the silence... and the silence becomes deafening. (Y/N) refuses to crumble. She rebuilds her life with new friends, late-night shifts at a quiet bar, and the unexpected comfort of a charming magician who seems to know exactly when she needs to laugh. But healing isn't linear and heartbreak leaves shadows that don't fade easily. Half a world away, Bakugo unravels. He tells himself he made the right choice. He tells himself he doesn't care she's moving on. He tells himself he can breathe without her. He's wrong. When a single rumor shatters his fragile denial, Bakugo finds himself fighting a new kind of battle-one he can't win with explosions or brute force. It's messy. Human. Terrifying. And it forces him to confront the one truth he's been running from: you don't stop loving someone just because you think you should.

The first person I truly loved left." You looked down at the floor. He then grabbed your chin, making you look into his eyes, "The love I have for you never left.

You had always been just another background character in his eyes- weak, forgettable, an 'extra.' But when everything shifts, you're determined to change that. This isn't just about him, it's to make him regret ever underestimating you. This story won't follow the anime/manga exactly, so don't expect the war arc or other canon events to happen the same way. Think of it as an alternate timeline where things play out differently. If you don't agree with how I write it, that's totally fine but pls don't hate just don't read, tysm. #slowburn :p

She was a spark that refused to fade. Born with a powerful, elemental Quirk and a fire in her chest that never dimmed, she was destined to stand out. But when tragedy struck and her parents were taken from her far too young, that spark turned into a wildfire, untamed, angry, and burning for something more. UA High was supposed to be the start of her journey to become the hero she always dreamed of being. She didn't expect it to be the place where she'd confront her grief, fight for her future, and find the missing part of her heart in the most unlikely person. He's fierce, explosive, and driven by a need to prove himself. The blonde with a temper as short as his fuse. But underneath all the fire and fury, she sees the same pain, the same hunger to be more. Together, they're chaos and chemistry. Rivals, partners, something deeper neither of them dares to name. This is the story of how she rose from the ashes, and how he helped her remember that even the strongest flames can still be warm.
