A Bakudeku College AU | 29 Chapters | Slow Burn | Hurt/Comfort | Enemies to Lovers
Izuku Midoriya didn't come to Shizuoka University to tutor the football team's golden boy.
He came to survive-on scholarships, caffeine, and sheer willpower. Between late-night study sessions, phone calls from a struggling mom, and the weight of a past he can't outrun, Izuku's barely holding it together.
But when Katsuki Bakugou-loud, cruel, and aggressively gifted-starts failing his classes, the university makes one thing clear: if Izuku doesn't tutor him, Katsuki's off the team. And if Izuku refuses? He loses his scholarship.
Neither of them want this.
Katsuki remembers Izuku all too well-small, soft-spoken, the same kid he bullied in middle school. Izuku remembers even more.
What starts as mutual hatred becomes a slow, reluctant partnership. Tension builds. Tempers flare. Old wounds resurface. And somewhere between textbook pages and long, aching glances, something else sparks to life: understanding. Maybe even something close to love.
But nothing is simple when you've both been raised in the wreckage of broken homes and broken expectations.
This is a story about anger, guilt, healing, and the kind of love that grows in the dark-quiet, bruised, and burning.

{ Sparks that never died } A bakudeku story
⸻ {Sparks That Never Died} Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya were supposed to grow up together-best friends, side by side, saving the world. Instead, Katsuki burned every bridge he could touch, terrified of the one person who saw him completely. Izuku never stopped reaching for him. Now at U.A., they orbit each other like stars destined to collide-too close to ignore, too broken to pull apart. Katsuki's pride refuses to bend, but every time he looks at Izuku, something inside him cracks. And Izuku... he still smiles like nothing was ever broken, even when it hurts. When a new villain known only as Eclipse sets his sights on Izuku, the world gets darker. Old wounds reopen. Katsuki finds himself fighting a new kind of battle-one that can't be won with strength alone. Because this time, the thing he's afraid of losing... is the person he never stopped loving. Training sessions turn into late-night whispers. Shouted insults blur into shaky apologies. Hands meant to push away begin to hold on. Their relationship becomes a storm-slow-burn, explosive, and heartbreakingly gentle. As U.A. is thrown into chaos and Eclipse closes in, Katsuki has to decide: keep pretending he doesn't care, or tear down the walls he built and admit the truth- He never hated Izuku. He hated how much he needed him. Sparks That Never Died is a messy, emotional enemies-to-lovers journey filled with lingering touches, buried trauma, quiet healing, and a love that refuses to die-no matter how many times it's been thrown into the fire. Because some souls don't just meet... They collide. --- I do not own any of these characters, they belong to the writer/creator of my hero academia.

In the Small Moments
At 25 years old, Izuku Midoriya has built a quiet, fulfilling life for himself as a kindergarten teacher. He spends his days surrounded by laughter, sticky fingers, and endless questions from curious little minds. It's a far cry from high school, where he was just another quiet kid trying to get through the day-especially with Katsuki Bakugo making his life a little harder than necessary. But that was years ago. He's long since moved past it. Katsuki Bakugo, now a rising-star chef, doesn't spend much time thinking about the past. He's got a restaurant to run, a reputation to build, and no patience for distractions. But when Kirishima and Mina ask him to pick up their five-year-old son from school one afternoon, the last person he expects to see waiting at the classroom door is Midoriya. They weren't friends in high school. They barely spoke outside of the occasional insult or glare. But suddenly, they're seeing each other every day, brought together by a kid who won't stop talking about how cool his teacher is. At first, Bakugo's irritated. Then, he's intrigued. Because the Midoriya standing in front of him now-the one who doesn't flinch at his gruff attitude, who holds his own in conversation, who smiles without hesitation-is nothing like the kid he used to know. And Izuku? He doesn't know what to make of this older, calmer-but still frustratingly blunt-version of Katsuki Bakugo. What starts as awkward small talk at school pickup soon turns into reluctant familiarity, then quiet respect, and maybe-just maybe-something more. After all, neither of them expected to cross paths again. But life has a funny way of throwing people back together when they least expect it.Complete
When Sparks Reverse ||• Izuku × Katsuki
They say opposites attract-but what if the "opposites" are yourself, flipped inside out? When Izuku Midoriya stops being the sweet, mumbling hero-in-training and instead turns sharp, cruel, and reckless, Katsuki Bakugo finds himself spiraling. The insults sting. The cold glares burn. And the worst part? Every jab leaves Bakugo's chest aching in ways he can't explain. But Bakugo isn't one to back down-if Deku wants a fight, he'll give him one. Except... the more they clash, the more tangled their fates become. And maybe, just maybe, that ache in Bakugo's chest isn't hate at all. A slow-burn, 100-chapter story of rage, regret, friendship turned rivalry turned something more. Expect angst, late-night confrontations, broken glass, yearning, and a happy ending worth bleeding for.
Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time (BakuDeku)
•Rankings• #1 in bakudeku #16 in tododeku #21 in game #86 in slow burn 🧡BakuDeku💚 Class 1-A thinks it'd be a good idea to play a big game of truth or dare. Most of them are very competitive by nature, so you can only guess how extreme it gets. When Izuku pushes a little to far with his childhood friend, Bakugou, their classmates call it quits and they all head to bed. As Izuku makes his way to his dorm, Bakugou stops him. He says he'll do it, because he's not a 'fucking chicken', but only if Izuku agrees to continue the game... As the game gets more heated, so do their everyday lives. Between the seemingly constant fighting and someone with dangerous feelings towards Izuku, will the two be able to get past all of that and finally be friends... or maybe more? ************************* I let out a defeated sigh. "Fine, but you still have to compliment me ya know. That's not going to be an easy task for you." I said with a big smile. There's no way he could do. "Oi, shut up! I can totally do the dare, even if there isn't a whole lot of good stuff about you." He mumbled the last part. I gasped at him. "Rude!" I exclaimed. "Just shut up so I can think!" He growled at me. I sighed, but complied. He thought in silence for a minute or two, just looking into my eyes. I was actually afraid he'd zoned out or maybe fallen asleep with his eyes open or something. Until he finally spoke. "Your eyes... why are they so goddamn pretty?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete
