Summary
If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last.
[UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]

Summary
He looks down at her and it's kind of too much, the wine and the emotions of the day coming down on her all at once, and there's something there in the depths of his eyes that's knocking on a door she keeps shut inside. So she buries her face against his upper chest and rests her cheek against him. She can feel his breath against her hair and she can smell his clean, masculine scent and feel the texture of his clean-shaven jawline if she moves her head just so.
His arms tighten around her and she feels like this is the physical manifestation of how they make each other feel safe, the way they'd talked about the night after she'd stitched him up. The way they fit perfectly together, balancing each other as they lean into one another and just hold on through the song.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

The Devil Couldn't Reach Me So He Sent Me Kacchan. by YourHonorTheyNeededToSuffer

Summary
"I have spent my whole life chasing after Katsuki Bakugo."
When I was four, I followed him like a shadow. When I was ten, I reached for him even as he pushed me away. When I was sixteen, I realized—I never really stopped.
It should’ve been different. We should have stayed rivals, or maybe just friends. But I never knew how to love him in halves. Even when we weren’t speaking, even when he hated me, even when I tried to let go—I loved him. Quietly. Desperately. Like breathing.
And then, one day, I stopped being the only one reaching.
Because somewhere along the way, Katsuki Bakugo started reaching back.
It starts with little things. Tea waiting for me after a hard mission. The way he watches me when he thinks I won’t notice. The way he sees me—the real me, the one the world has forgotten in the wake of the hero they want me to be.
And when he snaps—when all the unspoken things between us finally ignite—there is no stopping it.
Because this was never a rivalry.
This was never just friendship.
This was never something we could have avoided.This was a love story.
And it was always going to be us.Bookmarked by VeggieOptimist
