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

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. °°°
Unveiled Winds || Katsuki Bakugou x Reader
In the heart of Japan, where heroes and villains dance on the thin line between chaos and order, Katsuki Bakugou faces a daunting mission against a shadowy organization. A message from his childhood friend, Izuku Midoriya, leads to an unexpected revelation: Y/N, a hero with a unique Wind Quirk and a painful past, holds the key to victory. As Y/N returns to Japan, love blossoms between her and Bakugou, bringing warmth to a city gripped by darkness. Can their bond, forged in the crucible of heroism, stand strong against the threat of villains and the shadows of Y/N's past? (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!!
His Drumming Heartbeat
"Wouldn't it make your fans jealous?" Kirishima asked. "Tch. I already make them jealous of my existence. With you, it'll add fuel to the fire." Bakugo wears a devilish smirk as he interlocks his hands with Kirishima's. Katsuki Bakugo is well known for his time drumming for Jiro's band Deep Dope. After a short run of shows in Japan, their last show brings them back to their hometown of Tokyo and to a nearby bar after said show. After Kirishima left him for unknown reasons, he kept his emotions under wraps. After a sleep disturbance at around 1 AM, Bakugo gets a call indicating his friends were in trouble. He didn't expect to see his face again after so long, and soon enough, Bakugo will understand why his former flame made those choices. I got this idea from the Cultural Festival Arc! A Kiribaku fanfic is what we need! *NO QUIRK, AU* Reader Discretion Advised: the story will contain alcohol use, minor drug references, death discussion, suggestive themes, and other topics that may be sensitive to some readers. There might be a warning. I recommend using whatever kind of headphones/earbuds you use for listening to music. Some artists are personal favorites of mine or songs I enjoy outside of most genres (i. e., rock, metal) covered in this story.

Hot-headed Love (Katsuki Bakugou x OC) *UNDERGOING EDITING*
(Art is mine, poses of both lena and baku were referenced from Fairy Tail official art!) Read the adventure of Lena Ayana, a first year at UA High who is sassy and strong, but scared. Follow her as she meets new friends, fights old foes and falls for a hot-headed boy just like herself. You would never see it through her confident attitude, but Lena has been through a lot. She never decided to tell her U.A family until it was too late, until she had no other explanation to the tragedy that happened to her. It was one wrong choice that got her there. If her anger didn't get in the way, would she have been okay? Could she continue being a Hero without her friends knowing the terrible past, and the connection she has to the League of Villains? ***** Hot-Headed Love starts off by following the original plot line. Things will be changed around if needed be, and warning/mentions of that will be stated either before or after the chapter. To progress the story, the original plot line of Boku No Hero Academia will be abandoned and replaced with my own. I will make that clear when the chapters come up. I do not own BNHA or any characters from it.

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
Dense ( Kiribaku )
Katsuki knew most thing, he had always been intuitive and not the type of person to be left in the dark, at least not for very long. He liked to be on top, in control, he liked to know. yet when it came to his stupidly lovable friend, Katsuki was pretty fucking dense. so when it all suddenly became red locks of hair, bright smiles, and calloused hands; Katsuki felt as if he was drowning, drowning in his own inability to comprehend just what was happening and Katsuki hated every fucking minute of it. -- a fic in which katsuki is dumb mf & Eijiro is simply living his best life -- cover art credit! @SinfulHime on twitter :) this fic is also on AO3 my handle on there is @aojwadComplete
