Izuku Midoriya never expected to fall for the one person who made his life miserable.
Years of bullying, pain, and distance-all of it should've built a wall between them. But now, every glance from Bakugo sends Izuku's heart racing, and every shout feels more personal than ever. He can't shake these feelings... and it's killing him.
Katsuki Bakugo doesn't understand what's wrong with him.
Why does his chest tighten when Deku looks away? Why can't he focus during training? Why does he care so damn much about someone he's spent his whole life pushing away?
When one moment brings them face to face-closer than ever-it sparks something neither of them can ignore. With secrets slipping out, blushing confessions, and emotions they've both buried deep, one thing becomes clear:
Feelings suck. Especially when they're for your "stupid nerd."

"What was the point of talking if you weren't listening all these years?" Katsuki Bakugo, number two pro hero, was pronounced dead. He'd been missing for a little over a year when it was official, but Izuku couldn't bring himself to terms with it. Not completely, at least. Through the help of his friends and comrades, he'd finally managed to somewhat grow out of a shell of despair. He had to. For the sake of those whom Katsuki left behind, as well as the rest of humanity. All of these things considered, Izuku's 'new' life came to an abrupt halt, when he was informed of something concerning Katsuki and the other Pros and civilians who went missing... Something, he just wasn't about ready to believe. ⚠Trigger Warning⚠ -Character death -Depictions of violence -Depression/Suicidal thoughts (I'll put warnings before designated chapters) Cover art can be found at: 15e671021aa1d82954074479350Complete

Two Worlds, One Destiny: A Love That Defies Time
Izuku Midoriya never expected his quiet life at U.A. to shatter when a rift opened in the middle of campus-spitting out a battle-worn, older version of Katsuki Bakugo. This wasn't the loud, hotheaded classmate he knew, but a king from another world, a man haunted by grief, carrying a single truth that shook Izuku to his core: "In my world... you were my queen. My mate. The mother of my child." Pulled between two fiery Alphas-his brash, younger Katsuki and the hardened, desperate king from another timeline-Izuku finds himself entangled in a battle that crosses worlds. A war brews, dragons roar, and an unhinged prince from the fantasy realm vows to claim what was never his... even if it destroys everything in both realities. Through blood, heartbreak, and time itself, two souls separated by fate fight for a love strong enough to rewrite destiny. And when the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: Two worlds. One bond. A love no force-not war, not death, not even time-could ever break.

Ashes and Evergreen | DekuBaku
After the war, the dust doesn't settle - it clings. Class 1-A survived, but not without fractures. Not all scars are visible. Not all pieces find their way back. And two of its strongest - Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou - seem to be drifting further from the people they were... and from each other. Izuku is taller now. Stronger. His presence cuts through a room. But his smile doesn't reach his eyes, and his warmth is distant - like he left part of himself behind in the rubble. He carries everything. Always has. But no one can reach him anymore, not really. And Katsuki? He burned too bright for too long. His confidence is hollow now, more armor than belief. He hides behind quiet quips, late-night walks, and an ever-present ache in his chest. The once ferocious boy is flickering out - the guilt and grief have stolen his roar. But in the spaces between broken routines, heavy silences, and cautious glances... something remains. A thread. Fragile. Real. Maybe they can find each other again. Maybe they can become someone new. Together. Or maybe, this is the end.Complete
