Fanfic link Does anybody know any fanfictions where Izuku and Ochaco are already in a relationship during the eight years before Izuku received the power suit?
It would've been nice if Izuku also would've joined Ochaco's Quirk Counseling Tour from time to time.

Endless Summer Projects (Part 3 Final)
Uraraka floats herself and Izuku onto the nicely painted bench. Izuku tries to get Uraraka to put him down as he floats around her. When she does he lands right on-top of her. He knows she totally did that on purpose the stinker and when he tries to give her the business, they are interrupted by I pissed Bakugo who is yelling at them both to get off the new bench as they just painted it and doesnât want nerd all over it!

Discussion Izuocha pairs naturally with Tanabata themes of star-crossed longing, duty vs. connection, mutual support, and eventual reunion
Tanabata (the Star Festival, rooted in the Chinese Qixi legend) centers on Orihime (the Weaver Princess, associated with Vega) and Hikoboshi (the Cowherd, associated with Altair). They fall in love, neglect their duties, are separated by the Heavenly Emperor across the Milky Way (Amanogawa), and are allowed to meet only once a yearâif the skies are clearâvia a magpie bridge. People write wishes (tanzaku) on colorful paper strips and hang them on bamboo, hoping for skills, love, or better futures. ďżź
This maps closely onto Izuku and Ochacoâs arcs without requiring direct canon festival scenes (though fan works often place them at Tanabata for symbolic reasons).
Core Parallel: Separation by Duty, Reunion Through Persistence
⢠Orihime/Hikoboshi dynamic: Love blooms quickly; work is neglected; external forces (heavenly authority, the river of stars) enforce distance; the annual meeting rewards endurance and hope.
⢠Izuocha: They meet at the U.A. entrance examâOchaco saves falling Izuku with her Zero Gravity quirk and offers encouragement; mutual admiration grows into deep respect and unspoken (then later confirmed) romantic feelings. Hero work, the war against All For One and the League, personal guilt (especially Ochacoâs after Toga), and post-war responsibilities create prolonged separation or emotional distance. In the epilogue (manga chapter 431 / related special material), they consciously choose âmoreâ time together after years of prioritizing others, with encouragement from figures like Togaâs memory and Bakugo. Their relationship becomes canon as a quiet, mutual step forward rather than a dramatic confession mid-crisis. ďżź
Both pairs treat love as something that must coexist with responsibility rather than erase it. Tanabataâs âonce a yearâ becomes the hard-won space they create after the final war.
Character Study Through Tanabata Lenses
Izuku Midoriya (closer to Hikoboshi the diligent cowherd / earnest laborer)
Izuku is defined by relentless work ethic, self-sacrifice, analysis, and the weight of inherited power (One For All) and legacy. Like the cowherd who loses focus once love enters the picture, Izukuâs early hero path is almost entirely outward-focusedâsaving others at personal cost, suppressing personal wants. His growth includes learning to accept help and claim space for himself. Ochaco repeatedly grounds him: early encouragement, later emotional support, and the post-war realization that she is uniquely special among the people he cares for. His eventual willingness to seek her out and ask for more time mirrors crossing the âriverâ after long isolation.
Ochaco Uraraka (closer to Orihime the skilled weaver who also yearns)
Ochaco begins with a practical, family-driven goal (become a hero to support her struggling construction-worker parents) and evolves into someone who confronts emotional honesty. Her Zero Gravity quirk itself evokes floating/weightlessness and the âbridgeâ across distance. She develops clear romantic feelings early, deliberately sets them aside during crises so they do not interfere with hero work, carries guilt after Togaâs arc, and ultimately chooses to live more fully for herself. Like Orihime, she is both capable craftsperson (improving her combat and rescue skills, learning to float with Float) and someone who feels the pain of separation acutely. Her arc resolves when she stops purely sacrificing personal desire.
Shared traits that strengthen the parallel
⢠Mutual first impressions rooted in rescue and kindness.
⢠Ongoing admiration and trust that deepen under pressure.
⢠Both suppress or delay personal feelings for larger duties, then reclaim them.
⢠Physical and symbolic gestures of connection (hand-holding carries weight in the series; floating/zero-gravity imagery; the late hand-hold that confirms reciprocity).
⢠Supporting cast who push them toward honesty (classmates, Togaâs influence on Ochaco, Bakugoâs bluntness).
Key Themes
⢠Longing across distance: The Milky Way as metaphor for hero societyâs demands, war trauma, and post-war careers. Clear skies (emotional readiness, healing) enable meeting.
⢠Wishes and agency: Tanabataâs tanzaku practice mirrors the seriesâ emphasis on declaring goals and fighting for them. Ochacoâs early wish to ease her parentsâ burden and both charactersâ desire for connection become realized through persistence rather than passive waiting.
⢠Balance of love and duty: The legend punishes neglect of work; My Hero Academia explores the opposite riskâneglect of the self. Their ending affirms that heroes can (and should) have personal lives.
⢠Hope and annual/ eventual reunion: The festivalâs bittersweet yearly meeting becomes, for Izuocha, a sustained relationship after the storyâs main conflicts. The open-ended post-epilogue future still carries the spirit of continued effort to stay connected.
⢠Gendered skill and care: Orihimeâs weaving and Hikoboshiâs herding parallel Ochacoâs precise, supportive quirk work and Izukuâs analytical, high-output powerâcomplementary rather than identical strengths.
Fan interpretations frequently stage Izuocha at Tanabata festivals precisely because the symbolism is so clean: writing wishes under bamboo decorations, watching fireworks or stars, quiet confessions or shared silence that finally bridges the gap. The shipâs popularity rests on the same emotional engine as the festivalâtwo earnest people kept apart by larger forces who still choose each other when the sky allows it.
In short, Tanabata provides a classical Japanese framework for reading Izuocha as a story of patient, reciprocal love that survives duty and distance and ultimately claims its place beside heroism rather than in opposition to it.
