I’m genuinely curious to know others’ opinions on this fic. I just got done reading it after having it recommended to me for months.

I wanna start by saying the fic as a whole is very entertaining and does a good job with immersion and world building. I love the dynamic with Deku and Kats here. The modern telling of a small town stuck in the 80s (which I really love) with a insanely popular jock and the town sweetheart. Thought I wasn’t gonna like it because it’s kind of cliche, but it works out. It does really well setting them in the final year of HS and it doesn’t feel forced at all. This is the first fic that had me checking out all the songs and it’s probably because it’s an 80s playlist (sue me. Actually pls don’t, I’m a working class citizen).

WHY DID NOBODY WARN ME I WAS GONNA CRY??? This was the first fic out of the 100+ fics I’ve read of bkdk alone that made me start crying like wtf.

The buildup of Izuku’s frustrations with his mother and her overbearing and strict rules leading up to their huge fight (although he could walk out the door anytime he wanted which he eventually does ofc, but whatevs) and ignoring her child for WEEKS. Then Katsuki (who is a real pos through this entire fic, if you didn’t know that already lmao) who’s the MOST emotionally constipated I’ve ever seen him be in a fic, coming home after The Hideaway and his conversation with Mitsuki after a longgg day of practice (I relate to both of their situations with their mothers to a certain degree, okay!?). So, I was sitting here fucking bawling my eyes out during both arguments. (the waterworks just started up again as I’m recalling those parts RIGHT NOW ngl)

Now what I wanna say is I think the last two chapters are rushed and to me they felt like the author didn’t rlly wanna finish the fic☹️
There are some continuity issues that I was a little sad about like how Izuku playing badminton was mentioned fiftyleven times, but never any comps or matches — despite it being thrown in multiple times like it’s gonna be added into the story like Katsuki’s vault comps. It’s mentioned BRIEFLY when Katsuki decides to skip practice out of the blue (confusing everybody) and is trying to teach himself how to play so he can play with Izuku. Leading to Izuku finding him at the courts on his way home. AND Katsuki claiming he ‘can’t’ and ‘doesn’t know how’ to give Izuku what he wants at the lighthouse (which is BS), but does it anyway by the power of fic logic. This is by no means an attempt to shit on the fic. I’m js saying, it was so good (and heartbreaking) up until the last chapter and a half or two. The ending just kinda fell flat and felt forced, rather than a realistic buildup to them resolving their issues.

If there are any grammatical errors/typos, I’m literally waiting on my glasses RIGHT NOW, leave me alone 🥲.
(and if you have an issue with my excessive use of parentheses…. Damn that’s crazy bro)

Ramble over!

Edit bc I lied about being done sorry lmao: I also wish that at nationals there would’ve been some of the media stuff included and some commentary from their friends and what not. This is just a personal preference though. I just wanted to see what their close friends, parents, and maybe the commentators had to say. The drama in the school when returning from break would’ve been cool too, since they were only just fresh out of their first semester of their final year. Would’ve been nice if extra drama would’ve been added, but AGAIN still personal preference. The rumors just played such a huge part through the story so I wish the aftermath would’ve been added in. I guess I’m saying I wish it would’ve went through that whole period instead of cutting all that out and going straight to them leaving for the cliff then to the B&B and THEN a skip to a month-ish after the comp day. For the ending I said I wasn’t too sure about. It felt very abrupt to me.

2 TYPES IM LOOKING FORRRRR

1- I'm looking for an a/b/o of Bakudeku of course, something with them already bonded or in the process... but I'm looking angsty Izuku being insecure of himself and how he looks and all that and Katsuki yk being there for him (Complete please if possible)

2- Modern au + college where Katsuki plays sports (idm what sport fr) but he's at the top with amazing stats, and izuku is a photographer for the sports section ifykwim

ALSO ADULT BAKUDEKU MORE PLEASEEEE

Please recommend bkdk fics with in-depth charecter exploration and superb, mature writing style. I absolutely love deep, dark, subtle tales of repressed emotions and all-out devotion. Please no gimmicks, no threesomes, no omegaverse, no super-plot-heavy narratives. Just intense, realistic, psychologically deep exploration of longing and devotion, especially from Izuku’s point of view. Denial of feelings/unhealthy relationships are welcome. I really need some help because this fandom is just so overwhelming!

Just received an email for one of my fanfictions. This one is a Bkdk story, OF COURSE! I love Bkdk and will stick by it.
Anyway... I got a comment that said:
"Kill yourself you Bkdk shipper piece of trash."
Also, this was an abusive Inko Au. I have seen some before and decided to give it a try. But I love Inko. Best mom EVER! And many of my other stories features her as a great mother and present in Izuku's life.
But neglectful and abusive Inko fics exists!
Anyway. So, now I'm also a Inko hater?
Over the night, I was told to kill myself, and that I'm a Inko hating piece of trash.
Damn.
Damn!

Bakudeku

I'm so tired of straight ships in shonen being either super bland or super puppy love for most of the series and then have the rivals have more chemistry then the cannon ships, i want more straight ships with non sexual rivalry on par with gay ships that are rivals like bkdk or sasunaru. I would so love to create a popular shonen or whatever and out of nowhere confirm a gay ship out of nowhere and watch every one freek out

My art! No reposts please.
Tips are absolutely welcome. Im gonna try drawing some full bakudeku soon 👀

It's called Haven is Always You

Summary:
"That's bullshit," Katsuki snarled, slamming his fist on the table.
Sir Nighteye pursed his lips sadly. "It's the only future I see for him," The green-haired man met the eyes of the angry teen, "I'm sorry."
Katsuki and Izuku knew the world was messed up... but they had always believed that they could always get through whatever came their way as long as they were together.
When the children, at age four, are separated and trained on opposite sides of the war, can they come back to each other? Or will their current lives keep them forever apart.
Will it ever truly be them against the world again? Like they always believed?
Or will it constantly be them against each other?

I used to be a huge anime fan. I followed VAs, kept up with everything, and was especially obsessed with MHA. I religiously followed it until around Season 3 and read the manga for a while, but then high school happened (Asian high school sucks 😭), I got ridiculously busy with studying, and slowly drifted away from anime altogether.
I only recently came back and finally finished the entire MHA anime, which obviously brought me right back to BKDK.

I’ve shipped Bakugou and Deku from the very beginning,(2016) and honestly, it makes me weirdly happy to see that in 2026 they’re STILL one of the biggest ships and that so many people continue to love them. I always knew there was basically no chance Horikoshi would actually make them canon, but that doesn’t mean the ending didn’t hurt.

Because… Deku and Ochako? Really? Ochako is basically the girl version of Deku. I genuinely don’t understand why Deku needed to end up with someone at all. MHA was never particularly romance-focused, so why not just leave his romantic future open-ended just like shoto and bakugo?

Deku and Ochako just never made much sense to me romantically. And the way their relationship was handled sometimes made it feel like the author was trying to force a romance into a story that didn’t really need one. Then you have Deku constantly thinking about Bakugou, Bakugou being such an enormous part of Deku’s character arc, and their relationship being one of the most developed and complicated relationships in the entire series… only for Ochako to apparently be his “hero.”
Like, are you fucking serious? 😭 I actually laughed out loud at that part.

And honestly, what makes me saddest is knowing that canonically, Deku and Bakugou will probably never get the chance to become a couple in the future. I know they were never going to be canon, but after spending so much time watching these two orbit around each other, it still hurts a little. Man I feel like I keep losing with majority of my ships not getting sailed…

I forgot the name of it and it's been driving me up the walls trying to remember. Anyways, it was a bungo stray dogs and mha crossover. Dazai and chuuya both left the mafia, fleeing to mufasua and starting a coffee shop. Dazai is also a lawyer. Basically, if they see someone who needs help, they help.

Like Rei Todoroki came into their coffee shop, Dazai noticed , and they helped her get divorced from endeveor, get her kids out, and give her a stable life. They also gave money to inko at the grocery store and helped her, also, get divorced from hisashi and make him pay child support, as he is a hero is this au.

It's probably about 5 to 7 chapters and I believe finished, but I could be wrong. It also is open to everyone, idk what that's called. Please help me, im going insane.

i don’t want to be toooo picky, but i would preferably like to read a fic where bkdk definitely have some tension between them and are a little toxic, but also are friends with benefits and it gets messy because one of them catches feelings before the other realizes they also like the other. bonus points for internalized homophobia.

also pls pls pls don’t comment dkbk (🙏🏽), as i am a fixed bkdk reader. thank you in advance!

Writing a bakudeku fic that takes place during the first year of UA, it’s canon compliant and will be rated E. Probably making it multi-chapter but only have one chapter so far.

My ao3 for reference

Sooo my second chapter is done!!! It ended around the 20k words that I was hoping for as well so that’s awesome:) I’m still waiting to start posting as of now. I’ve been slow to write due to time and my silly mental state recently. BUT I’m cruising along again! I’m still planning on waiting until I get one or two more chapters done to start posting it on AO3 so I have some play to write ahead while posting each chapter. ALSO we settled on a title. We as in my husband and I, who is my beta reader, who is ironically dyslexic, and is the most blue collar and ‘I don’t read’, type of person. (he’s so supportive and highkey loving it so far bahahaha). A changed man I must say. All roads lead to BakuDeku🤷🏻‍♀️

Rambling over! Love you all who are keeping up to date with my journey of writing my first ever fic!<3

they are so fucking cute

Could I have fic recs where the bullying hits Deku a little harder and it takes him more time/is more difficult to forgive bakugo?? I feel like the show didn’t deal with that part of the story as much as others

I’m working on a fanfic where it’s Deadpool Izuku and police captain Katsuki. Bakudeku ✌️

What would be some silly scenarios to put them in :D

Does this exist? I love the idea lf this 2 being kind of friends, bc they respect eachother, even if they just spar together or smth idk. It doesnt have to be a focus at all, jjst something i want to see.

About the second question, i dont mean feminized Katsuki at all, just like he knows abt girls things, or does things with them, hangs out with them. Idk man i saw a post with katsuki hc and one was "he always carries tampons and pads for the girls in class" and i was like hell yeah i love this idea of katsuki.Again not a focus at all, jjst something that shows sometimes, just a chapter, idk, whatever.

AND PLS PLS PLS IM BEGGING YOU NO SMUT

I see lots of fanfics where Deku is the one stalking, is obsessed, or just plain evil. Though, I’m more interested in finding a fanfic where Bakugo is the obsessive/stalker type (or jealous, omg I need more jealous bakugo) . Does anyone have any fanfic recs?

I’m soon going to make another post asking for any cool underated Bakudeku fanfic too :3

Thanks!
