Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
Katsuki is captivated by the sight of Izuku, watching as throws his head back and laughs.
That smile feels a bit too much like light. Like warmth. Like true, actual healing.
Inside his own chest, everything burns as his heart pounds so hard, it feels like it’s trying to escape his ribcage. He places his hand over where it beats.
Take it easy, Katsuki tries to tell himself, just like the doctors did. Even though he knows this has been a losing battle for some time now.

“Do you ever get tired of it?” Touya asked. “Eating shit food out of dumpsters and bathing in public bathrooms?”
“I do,” Izuku answered, honestly. “But I’m free this way.”
“What if you could be free and have a roof over your head too?”
Izuku gave him an amused look. “I can’t. I’m eight years old and, technically, don’t exist. It’s not as if I could get a job to pay rent.”
“I could though,” Touya said, voice oddly strained as he made the offer. “If you wanted. To live like that, instead.”

Summary
Heavy, wet breathing, and a choked-off voice: “C-come in. Please. Someone, come in. This is Midoriya Izuku. Bakugou Katsuki and I are t-trapped—”
He cuts himself off, just as Katsuki fuzzily realizes his head is pillowed on Izuku’s thigh. His thoughts come in slow like molasses.
Izuku breathes hard. “—Under a building. We’re under the building.”
//
or:
Izuku has had this thing about him that Katsuki has never been able to name, but he's been chasing it since he learned how to run. It takes a catastrophic building collapse during their third year and a severe concussion for him to realize what it is.
Aizawa loses ten years off his life. When does he not.

Summary
Katsuki remembers it, vaguely; they’d gone out for patrol and immediately gotten mobbed by Uwabami’s rabid fans. Some guy asked for a hug. He had most of his face covered, and he wouldn’t let go even though Uwabami kept telling him to stop. Yaoyorozu had seen it and Katsuki had stepped in, yanking him off Uwabami but the guy grabbed him instead and-
“Wait,” he says as his brain catches up with his ears. “What?”
“He tried to attack Uwabami,” says Kestrel patiently. “But you and Bakugou got in the way and-”
“Me and Bakugou?” says Katsuki, digging his ears. “I’m Bakugou.”
(Katsuki and Momo get bodyswapped during their internship. It's terrible. Partly because of the weird new jiggly bits, but mostly because Momo now has to deal with Katsuki's giant, nauseating crush on Izuku Midoriya.
And Katsuki, unfortunately, has to deal with fucking Todoroki.)

Deku flits to the forefront of his mind. Deku who he apologized to, who forgave him, who became his friend happily and without hesitation. Who told him about One For All, who is unflinchingly brave and stupidly reckless and thinks Katsuki is amazing.
“Shit,” Katsuki says, “I’m in love with fucking Deku.”
----------
Or, katsuki realizes he has hanahaki disease, figures out who it's for, and confesses, all within ten minutes. it's deku's problem, anyway.

"Fuck you," he hissed. "You're my friend, jackass. I just suck at shit like affection. I'm shit at showing it but I appreciate you."
Both of their eyes widened and they stared at each other with their mouths hanging open. Katsuki had expressed affection and appreciation.
This time it was official. Something was wrong.

Summary
The apparition of Katsuki's likeness tilts its head at him. There's a hard frown on his face, a fixed stare; his eyes track the motion of Izuku's tears, rolling down his cheeks. It looks like it takes him a moment to realise the person he's looking at is looking back. His gaze swerves, refocuses; his eyes widen.
“You seein’ me?” Katsuki whispers, almost urgently. Excited.
Izuku can't bring himself to speak.

Summary
**THIS WORK CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA, IT FOLLOWS DIRECTLY AFTER THE END OF CHAPTER 315**
A pained groan distracted him from his thoughts as his attention was brought to Deku, who was blinking a few times.
There was a far away, unfocused look in his eyes, the green haired boy smiled softly as his eyes fell shut again, panic rising in Katsuki’s chest.
“Izuku!” His voice came out almost desperate as he moved back to look right at him, relief flooded his system as the green eyed beauty opened his eyes again.
Now where the hell did using his given name come from.
OR
Following the fight against Lady Nagant, Midoriya Izuku, battered and bruised follows his feet to somewhere that he can get the treatment he desperately needs. Never once in his life did he think he'd end up in Bakugou Katsuki's bed in the middle of the night.
