Return to Zero

"If you die, I'll never forgive you.
Do you hear me?
I... I can't lose you."
==============
When Y/n is taken in by an underground hero known only as Pale Ward, she's raised in secrecy-trained in silence, discipline, and control. Years later, she transfers into U.A. High School with a spotless past that feels almost too perfect... and a quirk she refuses to fully explain.

Her arrival is unexpected. Her strength is undeniable. And Katsuki Bakugou notices.

What begins as rivalry quickly turns into something sharper-trust, respect, and a connection neither of them knows how to name.

With every secret she keeps, the weight on her shoulders grows heavier. Because some quirks weren't meant to be used. They were meant to end everything. And when the time comes, Y/n may have to choose between the life she's starting to build... and the destiny she was trained for.

A slow-burn Bakugou x Reader story filled with action, mystery, angst, and romance.
