You've always loved to sing - just not for an audience.
At Aether University, your friends' band, Ground Zero, is known more for chaos than fame. So when Jirou asks you to fill in as their new vocalist, you almost say yes immediately.
Almost.
Because Katsuki Bakugou - the band's fire-tempered guitarist - says no before you can even open your mouth.
He says it's about "the sound." But everyone knows it's about you.
You're his friend. His problem. His maybe-something-more.
And now, no amount of magic or melody can keep the truth from coming to the surface.
🎶 A slow-burn fantasy AU where friendship turns into harmony - and harmony turns into something louder.
‼️I don't own any of the characters except for Y/N

A Ripple in Time - Bakugo X Reader (Pro Hero AU)
K.BAKUGO X READER (Cover art by me) In a life where I'd be safe in one moment and on the brink of death in another, I realized that he was the only force that could ground me. Of all the people in the world. My volatile co-worker. My menacing rival. My mission partner to save the world: Katsuki Bakugo. We're bound to a fluid existence, where ripples in the river of time can roll into unstoppable waves of decision. When the rise of a terrorist organization threatened to bring back Shigaraki's quirk from the dead, me and that blonde-idiot were tasked with travelling up to the Northern mountains, searching for a hidden laboratory in the snow, and stopping what could be the fate of hero society once again. I thought we were ready. If only I accepted sooner that time is fickle. And that the memories we make with others are more precious than we think. ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ Rated Mature for: - Graphic depictions of violence (blood, gore, death) - Implied sexual activity #1 - adultbakugo #1 - originalart #2 - proheroau Started Dec 2022 Posted Jan 14, 2023 Completed June 29, 2023Complete
Feel Better, Dynamite (Bakugou x OC)
Amari Kugisaki doesn't just want to succeed, she wants to be the best. Ambitious, skilled and relentless, she joins Ground Zero as a sidekick with one goal in mind: prove herself and become unforgettable. But nothing could have prepared her for Dynamite, the #5 hero known for his notorious temper, who is determined to keep her in check, testing her with every step. In a world that's constantly caving in with villain scheming, hero's under scrutiny, and internal conflicts, Amari learns quickly that survival isn't about strength. It's about wits. resilience, and knowing who to trust. Every mission pushing her to the edge, and every confrontation with Dynamite a battle of wit and ego. Yet, with every clash, she begins to see something deeper beneath the hero's bruised knuckles and hardened exterior. Rivalry slowly shifts into trust, and amidst a mission so crucial one slip-up means death, trust shifts into something neither of them can name. In a world determined to crush them, Amari and Bakugou discover the strongest bonds are forged not just through victory, but through trusting each other no matter what the world throws at them. And no matter how much they hate each other for it. --- A Pro-hero Bakugou x Spider OC fanfic! Cross-posted on AO3 under SuperrNovaa
Distortion | Bakugou X Reader | MUSIC AU
All I ever wanted was to make music that meant something... to leave the noise of everything else behind. Getting into the elite U.A. Conservatory of Music should've been the dream. Instead, I got Katsuki Bakugou. A walking attitude problem, guitar god, and royal pain in my ass. We don't get along. We don't even speak the same musical language. He plays like he's setting the world on fire. I play to keep from falling apart. Maybe we could learn a thing or two from each other.... pshhh yeah right. *Warnings* - Strong language - Slow Burn - Dark themes - Smut I do not own any of the BNHA characters, they are all property of Kōhei Horikoshi. Nor do I own any of the songs/ music used throughout the story.
Alexitheymia - (a Katsuki Bakugou fanfiction)
𓆣-Alexitheymia: (n.)the inability to express your feelings. ________________________________________ °°° "cowards,the both of us..." °°° ________________________________________ In the years following the Second Hero War, Japan's pro heroes are rebuilding their world-and themselves. When Mina Ashido hosts a quiet reunion with old friends, two unexpected guests cross paths for the first time: Katsuki Bakugou, the explosive #5 pro hero with a temper as sharp as his instincts, and Lola Miyori, the composed water manipulator from Hawks' agency, known for her calm strength and quiet reputation. Their first meeting is anything but smooth. A simple dinner turns tense, and pride burns brighter than reason. Yet beneath their sharp exchanges lies something neither can name-curiosity, recognition, and an undeniable pull. As fate keeps forcing them together-on missions, in crisis zones, and through moments of raw vulnerability-the line between rivals and allies begins to blur. Each encounter challenges their ideals, forcing Bakugou to confront his guarded arrogance and Lola to face her fear of being underestimated. Through tension, teamwork, and loss, their connection grows-slowly, painfully, beautifully. And when war rises again, explosions and waves will have to decide whether to fight alone-or burn and move together. °°°

Fuselage
After a traumatic coming-of-age summer adventure, once out going Katsuki Bakugou becomes riddled with anxiety and PTSD. He spends much of his childhood running off any friends, feverishly pursuing his goals of becoming the best small plane pilot Japan has ever seen. His adulthood is met stubbornly chasing his dreams of leaving the ground - and society - by moving to an isolated village far away from trains, people, and -worst of all- his overbearing parents. He certainly doesn't expect to find an idiot running the sorry excuse of a store in the small mountain village. Bakugou sure as shit doesn't expect to fall so hard for the half wit. ***COMPLETE***Complete

(Like my cringe little description) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors Note * Hi this is a slow burn story!! This fanfic is set a couple years after graduation. While I've tried to keep major spoilers at bay, please be aware that some references to recent events in the manga might be present in the story. If you're not up to date with the manga, consider this a heads-up! I like reading fics where they have an older Bakugou, but they ain't much out there so here I am writing one myself hehe Oh and for the record I am in no way what so ever an experience writer so this story is gonna far from perfect (this fic will definitely have grammar and spelling errors so just bare with me) I've also added my own creative twist within the story since the fic is set in the future so Bakugou may act a little more mature Enjoy!! Disclaimer * I do not own the characters or the main story line!! This fic will contain swearing and adultish themes including future smut chapters so u have been warned!!

enigma
enigma (n.) a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. -------------- Your families had decided this was for the best. A strategic alliance, they called it. Your quirk, Umbra Manipulation, allowed you to control and solidify shadows, an ability that paired well with Bakugou's explosive quirk. Together, they said, you'd have powerful children. You thought quirk marriages were old fashion, but your parents didn't care. Not that you had any desire to become a hero. You weren't like Bakugou-confident, brash, and full of fire. You preferred the quiet, the background, where you could avoid conflict and simply exist. But that wasn't an option anymore. -------------- bakugou katsuki x fem!reader (she/her) mostly reader pov but sometimes bakugou pov HEAVY inspiration to My Happy Marriage (on netflix) THIS WAS A ONESHOT IN MY ONESHOT BOOK THAT WAS REQUESTED and I ended up writing way more than I meant to TW: parental physical and mental abuse
