[Chapter 12]
By the time Izuku made it over from the general store, Samidare was already waiting for him at the clearing. He couldn’t help but grin at the enthusiasm, and the little collection of townsfolk he had with him only made it all the better.
“Hey!” he said brightly, waving with the arm t...
[Chapter 11]
The sun was barely beginning to light up the sky when Izuku heard voices and footsteps approaching his tent, sitting up with a yawn to listen. One of them sounded familiar, so he rolled out of bed, finding his clean clothes and dressing by the time they got close enough to make out...
When the trees gave way into open space, all Izuku could do was gasp. He breathed in a rush of cool air that tasted strange on his tongue, and closed his eyes for a minute just to feel it all. The breeze rushing at his face, the soft ground that gave way under his feet eve...

He’d started out by Kouji’s house, planting neat rows of lettuce all around the areas the animals tended to visit, then he’d worked his way down through ...

Izuku woke up with a smile on his face, rolling over to silence his alarm before it started blaring. The sun was already rising, casting a pretty pink-and-orange glow across the ceiling, and Katsuki was still sound asleep beside him, clutching the blankets tight around himself in a toasty cocoon. Izuku rolled o...

The damn trains needed to go faster. A small part of him wondered if he could waltz up to the train driver and demand they skip ...
2024-07-09 10:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostIzuku grinned sheepishly as he pushed open the door to the dorms, finding all but a few of their classmates gathered together, dressed up all nice in pretty yukata. Most of the guys were in plain, dark colours, with maybe a few simple patterns thrown in for variety, but the girls were in an array of bright colours and patterns and flowers that delighted Izuku to see. He stopped for a minute, se...

Izuku reached the farm mid-afternoon, gasping when he emerged from the trees and found ten little kids running back and forth across the land. Some of them were carefully sprinkling water on the plants, some of them were raking dirt, and Eri, in all her infinite childhood wisdom, was lecturing one...
[Chapter 7]
Izuku groaned as he rolled over, grimacing at the sore spots in his back where rocks had been digging in all night. He’d spent weeks sleeping on a real bed at home, he’d kind of forgotten what it was like to sleep on the hard ground again. His only saving grace was that it was ge...
With the weather warming up, without the massive snowfalls blanketing their attempts at crops, Katsuki was finally seeing green. The crops were tiny, sure, not enough to feed anybody on their own, but they were green, they were growing, and if noth...
2024-07-03 15:06:15 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Izuku woke, there were warm rays of sun gently lighting his little inflatable tent. He’d managed to reach the bottom of the mountain in the lingering sunset, and had gotten his tent inflated and a fire started before the light completely vanished for the night. It had ...
2024-07-02 14:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe music was pounding as Katsuki headed for the kitchen, internally debating whether or not it was safe to take painkillers with a shot of tequila. He was going to have an awful headache in the morning, if not before – and he was fairly certain his ears were going to ring for at least three days. He wasn’t sure why he’d let his stupid friends talk him into making an appearance, ...

Tobio took slow, measured breaths as his feet pounded against the concrete. His pace had quickened going down the hill, but he couldn’t help but think about the return path – about how, soon, he was going to be running back up that endless slope. He hasn’t sure how Shouyou did it every day, though he supposed being on a bike might have made it slightly easier. Every...

But I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, it was so daunting!”
“Midoriya, please.” Denki said sagely, placing a hand on Izuku’s shoulder in some...
Katsuki hissed as he hit the ground, quickly throwing his leg out to get some leverage and rolling the pair of them over, pinning Izuku beneath him. Izuku had the advantage when it came to brute strength, but Katsuki’s reflexes were still miles better, even if Izuku tried to deny it; he just had to react quickly enough to catch Izuku off guard, to stop him from using his strength to prevent K...

Katsuki hovered at his desk as the class headed out, slowly packing his books into his bag, despite a concerned glance from Mina as she headed out – hesitating, but ultimately giving him his space.
“Bakugou,” Aizawa said, when the room was almost empty. “Don’t ...

Izuku’s face lit up when their call connected, and Katsuki felt himself smile back, his expression growing far too fond and sappy despite his best intentions. He missed seeing his boyfriend in person every day, but at least they had technology to let them see each other’s faces. Every evening, without fail, Izuku popped up on his laptop screen with that same cute face, the same bright e...
Everything about Izuku’s life felt absolutely perfect. Crime had been on a steady decline since he’d become a pro-hero, so the world felt like a safer place; it had been almost a year since Katsuki had proposed, and their wedding day was mere weeks away; his mother was safe and happy, and apparently dating All Might which was weird as hell but he’d decided he was okay wi...
