After the war with the Paranormal Liberation Front, UA High is a fractured sanctuary for heroes trying to piece their lives back together. Katsuki Bakugou is struggling to recover-not just from his injuries, but from the crushing guilt of the lives he couldn't save. His anger is louder than ever, but underneath it all, he's barely holding himself together.
Then there's Elizabeth Levine, the newest transfer to Class 1-A. With a devastating quirk called "Demon" and a past full of secrets, she's got walls no one seems able to break through. She's sharp-tongued, unpredictable, and hiding scars that go far deeper than what anyone can see.
Neither of them is looking for help, but when they're forced to face their own broken reflections in each other, it becomes harder to keep pretending they're fine. Bakugou and Elizabeth will have to decide if they can trust someone else with the parts of themselves they'd rather keep hidden.
Sometimes the hardest battle isn't with the enemy-it's with yourself.

You Drive Me Crazy ~Katsuki Bakugo x Reader~ [✔]
Energetic U.A. Student, Y/n L/n, makes her grand debut into the world of heroes with her friend, Katsuki Bakugo. As childhood friends, they've unconsciously grown close, despite them being almost polar opposites. They've worked together through most of their life, so it's only natural that they would as students. A team consisting of two best friends would obviously know each other well, what they like, what they don't like, and their deepest secrets. However, with Y/n hiding a family secret and Katsuki hiding his feelings, there's sure to be an explosion of some sorts. ~ 7.1 hour read Total of 69 chapters. (nice) Includes an Epilogue & Alternative Ending.Complete

Bakugou X Kirishima's sister (Reader)
*In process of editing* You're Kirishima's estranged twin sister. You've come back to Japan after pursuing a modeling career in America (Don't give me sass all of y'all are models to me). Much to your brothers surprise your parents have decided to send you to UA. You began studying a hero course in America so your knowledge and ability with your quirk isn't totally shit (You're actually kind of a badass). One student catches your eye, your brothers best friend. But after fixing your relationship, Kirishima makes a simple request, that you can be with whoever you want in class but do not pursue a relationship with Bakugou. But of course life can't be that simple. Will you follow what your brother asked or will you ruin the new relationship you two now have? A #5 ranking in Fanfiction is absolutely insane to me, thank you to everyone who's read or reading my story. I hope you all enjoy it 😊Complete
