    Summary

    Pro Hero Bakugou Katsuki is on his way... to the bottom. His ratings suck, his reputation sucks, and even his agency has it out for him. Katsuki can see rock-bottom coming, but he can do nothing but brace for the inevitable, painful impact.

    Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku hit rock bottom months ago. He's pulling himself back to his feet, working shitty jobs with shitty pay and just doing his best to eat most days. At least he's not in debt anymore, though. At least he has a roof over his head.

    On Katsuki's way down and on Izuku's way up, they catch each other.

    X

    Or, after five years apart, Katsuki and Izuku meet again under equally humbling circumstances. Things improve from there.

    Summary

    “To... endings,” Endeavor said somberly.
    “To new beginnings!” Keigo added, more cheerfully. Endeavor almost smiled at him again.
    “Sure, Hawks,” he snorted.
    Keigo felt warmth unfurl like a blossom in his chest as he lifted the delicate cup to his lips. Fuck it. Fuck the pregnancy. He wasn’t fit to be a parent. He’d get an abortion and never speak of it again to anyone. He was good at keeping secrets. He was going to drink fancy sake with the man he--
    He took one whiff of the sweet, yeasty smell of the alcohol and his stomach turned.

    Or,

    After the war, Hawks finds himself Quirkless and pregnant by his former (dead) informant. With nowhere else to turn, he accepts help from the one man who's always been there to save him.

    Summary

    Darry and Paul have been dating for years. Off and on since highschool, and even through adulthood. But now, they wouldn't even call it dating. Just simple hook-ups when Paul needed some relief, or when Darry needed more of Paul.

    What happens when Paul finally gives up on Darry? He can't take anymore of hiding their relationship. Darry proposes an idea that Paul could follow up on.

    OR

    Paul and Darry argue in Paul's college dorm, which leads to Darry coming up with a genius idea that might just save their relationship. At a cost.

    Summary

    Tenko’s breaths shudder rhythmically over her throat. His tears have long since dried, cold and tacky on her skin. He’s warm even through his t-shirt, Nao’s hand splayed wide across the trembling expanse of his back, thumbing absently between the notches of his spine. His cheek burns red-hot at the juncture of her shoulder.

    Summary

    It's not that Katsuki didn't want kids. He figured he'd have them one day, probably. That he and Izuku would adopt or maybe figure something else out.

    This is NOT how it was supposed to go.
