    ☆The feeling he long had abandoned suddenly came back by finding a random baby, in a box, in a random alleyway during his mission. What will he do? Will he take the baby in and take care of it? If yes, how will the journey be like? Will the baby be important to him? Will he succesfully play the role as a big brother besides his Harbringer career?☆ ------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: ● This is obviously not a ship book ● The baby will be using she/her pronouns (change it if you want <3) ● slight curse language ● NO SMUT (whoever sexualizes him or any character pls kys <3) ●Credits to the artist (couldn't find the artist) ●These Characters do not belong to me!

How he would feel taking care of a little human being even tho he despises them so much. ● Hope this book isn't weird or some ● I am writing this to improve my english so if there are any mistakes please feel free to tell them <3 ● Idk how often I will update since I rarely have time for anything ●I'd be happy if you could vote this book and maybe give a follow♡

    Y/n Gouda, the twin sister of Takeo Gouda. Despite their striking differences in appearance, a shared golden-hearted nature unites them, a truth echoed by those who know them. Y/n strives to emulate Takeo's kindness and selflessness, yearning to truly belong within their family. Their mother's strength and selflessness, their father's warmth, and Takeo's unique blend of both endear him to others. While Takeo garners admiration for being himself, Y/n aspires to earn respect for their efforts. The longing to be authentic, unburdened by familial expectations, persists. Perhaps an unexpected ally will unveil the acceptance they've craved, close at hand all along... Author's note : Yes I know it's the same plot as my other story, but I've reread the old one and I was cringing my way through the story. I do think the premise was interesting but my writing was pretty awful and some creative decision in my writing was bad, in my opinion. So I hope this story is better, it does have similarities with the old one but all in all a fun and maybe a much better read for you all. Love ya~ ⚠︎ Manga spoilers ⚠︎ ***I do not own Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story!!)***

    "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣?" "..𝐌𝐡𝐦.." "𝙏𝙘𝙝.. 𝙐𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧." ---- In their third year at U.A., everything is supposed to be loud-explosions, training, expectations, futures rushing toward them at full speed. But for Bakugo Katsuki and you, love settles in quietly. Your quirk, Sonic Blast, burns through body heat as fuel-leaving you exhausted, buzzing, or cold when you push too far. Bakugo doesn't like being touched. He never has. But somehow, somewhere between late-night training sessions, accidental hand-holding, and slow, careful trust, he becomes your safest source of warmth. You don't kiss right away. You don't rush. You learn each other instead. What starts as a practical solution becomes a routine. What becomes a routine turns into something neither of you is willing to give up. And when graduation looms, when dorm doors close and futures split open wide, Bakugo makes a choice-quiet, impulsive, terrifying in its honesty. He doesn't know what comes next. But he knows he wants you there. 🥇 Bakugo 04/01/26 🥇 Bakugou 05/01/26 🥇 Bnha 07/01/26

    "𝙌𝙐𝙄𝙏 𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙆𝙄𝙉' 𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍 𝙈𝙔 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿𝙀𝙍!" ---- At U.A. High, secrets don't last long. So when Katsuki Bakugo's phone lights up with a message from a contact named "Homebody &lt;3," the class explodes with questions. Who is she? How long has this been going on? And how did Bakugo-loud, volatile, impossible Bakugo-manage to hide a girlfriend from everyone? As rumors spiral and an unofficial investigation takes over the dorms, the truth remains quietly out of reach. Because Bakugo and (Y/N) aren't hiding anything. They're just... private. They've been together since middle school, loving each other through quiet gestures instead of grand displays-shared snacks, exchanged notes, a hand resting over clenched fists. While the class searches for drama, they miss the steady, unshakable bond right in front of them.

    Avatar various x reader; Before Pandora had a name, before the forest learned to breathe through veins of light, you existed. Not as flesh. Not as bone. Not as Na'vi, nor Sky Person. You were between. A presence held within the endless hum of the Tree of Souls-where memories did not sleep, but listened. Where countless essences drifted like embers, waiting, watching, knowing. They called you souls, though none of you were ever born. Some shimmered with curiosity. Some trembled with fear. All of you understood Pandora. You knew the balance Eywa protected. You knew the violence that threatened it. You knew the cost of choosing a body, a will, a fate. And so, when Eywa's voice moved through the great network-vast, patient, eternal- 'Who will walk for me?' ❗️Reader can be oc-ish ❗️Heavily follows Avatar movie series storyline ❗️Begins from Avatar: The Way of Water

    "It's unfortunate both of our kills happened so close together. It's becoming a slight nuisance." The words don't register at first. Then they do. My hand stills on the edge of the desk. My breath catches. Not sharply, or obviously, but enough that I feel it. I turn to look at him. "What did you say?" I ask, keeping my voice even. Vincent finally looks at me. Really looks. There's no confusion in his expression. No accusation. Just quiet certainty. "You heard me," he says lightly. My stomach drops. "You think I-" I start, then stop myself. The room feels too small now. Too exposed. He smiles, just barely. "You handed her the coffee." He says. "You watched her drink it. And you didn't look away." Silence stretches between us. "I wondered if you'd realized yet." He continues, adjusting his cufflinks. "That we're the same kind of ambitious." He continues, "You removed an obstacle. I removed mine." A pause. "The only issue is proximity. Two anchors dying so close together draws attention." He steps closer, lowering his voice. "We'll just have to be more careful from now on." From now on. The implication settles heavy in my chest. ─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ─── Started: 12/25/2025 Ended: ??? ─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ─── Rankings: #1 - xreader (01/17/2026) #1 - voxhazbinhotel (01/17/2026) #2 - humanvox (01/17/2026) #3 - partnersincrime (01/18/2026) ─── ☾ ⋆*・゚:⋆*・゚ ───

    (New chapter every Friday!) Y/n a single mother in a world that doesn't care if kids survive. He's a hunter with nothing left but instincts and scars. She's trying to build something soft in a world gone sharp. He's not sure he remembers how to hold anything without breaking it. A slow slow-burn starting in Season 2. Featuring found family, emotional healing, and a young girl who doesn't stop asking questions. Note: This fic contains violence, gore, and themes consistent with The Walking Dead. I'll do my best to include specific warnings at the start of chapters that contain more sensitive material. I do not own The Walking Dead or its characters. This story, including Ivy, Meg, and this interpretation of Y/n, are my original creations.

    UA's Support Department has seen all kinds of eccentric inventors, but none quite like the masked, welding-gear-wearing student who becomes Bakugo Katsuki's personal go-to technician. She works fast, doesn't ask questions, and never wastes his time-already making her rarer than most of Class 1-A combined. Bakugo doesn't know her name, doesn't know her face, and honestly doesn't care. They talk shop, exchange gear, and go their separate ways.
