Fighting Chance - bakudeku

bakudeku mermaid au

in which bakugou katsuki falls overboard a cruise ship, breaking both legs. another day, his story would have ended there. but izuku midoriya saw him fall, and didn't think twice before keeping the human boy's head above water. as long as katsuki clings to his bubbly green-haired companion, he might be able to find a way home.
humans aren't built to survive the tumbling seas. but in what could have been katsuki's last moments, fate decided to give him a fighting chance - a chance named izuku, with a powerful tail, and a blinding smile. and abs. not that he was looking, of course.

a work in progress!
