Bakugou Katsuki, U.A.'s most volatile graduate, is feared and admired for his explosive victories-and infamous for burning every bridge around him. When Y/n, a foreign hero fresh to Japan, rises in popularity with her calm strength and sharp honesty, she clashes with Bakugou at every turn. But Y/n carries secrets. Forced together on missions and under the press's gaze, their rivalry twists into uneasy dependence, where trust is dangerous-and discovery could change everything.

You knew that all too well, as Ms. PartyPlanner, having spent your share of weekends helping your house of college friends host parties here and there. College friends, but also fellow hero students, on their way to capturing villains and saving lives. Over your shared years at UA, you've learned what it takes to be a pro, and along the way, accumulated a close-knit group, including the explosive Katsuki Bakugo and the charming Eijiro Kirishima.

Test Me. Bakguo x Fem!Reader
All Y/N wants is to survive sophomore year without setting her life on fire. Between early morning lectures, chaotic group chats, record store shifts, and weekly hangouts with Mina, Kyoka, Denki, Eijiro, and Hanta, she's content keeping things simple. Friendships. Good grades. No emotional complications. But simplicity doesn't last long. Hanta Sero's steady presence begins to feel different. Softer, safer and closer than she expected. And then there's Bakugo Katsuki, the sharp‑tongued soccer captain she first collided with at a party. Their banter crackles with tension, never quite friendly, never quite distant. Just... charged. Somewhere between late-night movie sessions, slow walks home, and almost-confessions, Y/N finds herself tangled in feelings she never meant to have. Forced to confront what she wants, who she trusts, and who she's willing to let close enough to hurt her. Because sophomore year isn't just about passing classes anymore. It's about learning the difference between comfort and connection. And deciding who she's brave enough to fall for. A No-Quirk My Hero Academia college AU featuring slow burn tension, found family, messy feelings, and love that takes its time. Slow burn · Love triangle · College AU · First-person POV
Saving You || Katsuki Bakugou x Reader
This is a Bakugou x fem reader story. This story is an angst romance story. this story is about Y/n's struggle and trauma, being born with a villainous quirk and what exactly happens when a child is born with such extreme power and no help whatsoever with taming it. Throughout this story Y/n's struggles with her rule on not getting close to anyone. She was doing amazing at it until a boy names Katsuki Bakugou came along. ❗️ Disclaimer ❗️ This is a mature story. There will be a lot of profanity considering this is a Bakugou story. There will be triggering things that happen in the story, it has a lot to do with Y/n's backstory. In this story Y/n is struggling with really bad anxiety and ptsd from her past. Later on in the story when Y/n and Katsuki get closer and get together there will be sexual stuff so if that triggers or makes you uncomfortable you can always skip that chapter. emoji meanings angst - 🖤 lemon - 🍋

Bakugou Katsuki x fem!reader After a decade of a hellish nightmare, (L/N) (Y/N) finds herself being chained up to another set of nightmare that she has no escape from again when all she wanted is to be free entirely. She was given the job to study at the most prestigious hero school, UA High, not to become hero, but as a traitor and a spy for the League of Villains. As she studies in UA, she kept two things in her mind. One: give all the information to the League; and two: do not get attached to her classmates no matter what. Little did she know that a spiky-haired ash-blond named Bakugou Katsuki would ruin her whole mission and will make her realize that her actions have consequences. 『••✎••』 WARNINGS: •Strong language •Graphic depictions of violence This fanfic will follow the original plot of the anime/manga but it will change along the way.

Speak his language - Kacchako FF
Understanding Katsuki Bakugou certainly was a challenge. But there still somehow had to be a way to learn how Ochakos classmate thinks just so she could understand his usual grumpy behaviour... OR Both are idiots in love, Katsuki tries his best to support Ochako without letting his guard down and Ochako on the other hand gradually becomes a master at speaking 'Katsuki Bakugou'. ♡•·················•·················•♡ "One month." She looked at him waiting for him to continue. "Give me one fucking month alright? I'll help you during that time to find a new goal again or make you realize that your original one still is worth staying. I'll make you realize that you're better than you god damn think you are. Yet if you decide after that month to leave" he cut off his sentence, looking away too and clenching his teeth due to the upcoming piercing pain in his chest. If she still wanted to leave after that month...he'd accept it. ♡•·················•·················•♡ TW! - Swearing, like lot of swearing bcs yeah it's Bakugou sorry people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Updating on Mondays and Fridays ^-^ Cover is made by my lovely and talented sister @LunaStories Thank you so much for that <3 IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't own any of the MHA characters.
