    Summary

    If this were anything like the comics, Izuku Midoriya being quirkless would be the norm while heroes would be treated as a rarity. As it stands, everyone’s got a super power, except for Izuku, of course. No worries, though, because he’s over it (nope) and has moved on to bigger and better things (again, nope) like working at a tiny comic book shop and indulging in stories where being able to lift a bus with your bare hands was deemed impossible until proven otherwise.

    Oh, and running into your heroic ex-boyfriend? Also unlikely. But Izuku’s life isn’t like a comic book (maybe?) and Katsuki Bakugou is standing right in front of him: still perfect, still handsome, and still putting his combat booted foot in his mouth.

    [Or: AU where Izuku works at a comic book shop because that’s as close to a hero as he’s gonna get, and Katsuki plays the part of heroic ex-boyfriend who is good at everything except winning Izuku back... maybe]

    Summary

    Katsuki waits for him, always, no matter what. In life, and as a hero.

    Izuku cannot cope with the idea of dragging Katsuki down, so he pushes him away.

    He isn't prepared for the way Katsuki fights back - god, does he fight.

    ——

    “We tried, and it didn’t work. Please don’t be upset.” Izuku cringes as he says it. It’s so mean. Hypocritical of him, really, when he can feel the muscles of his heart tearing.

    “Whatever.” Katsuki snaps, looking away. He won’t meet his eyes. “Fuck off, then.”

    Izuku feels his lip twitch, and swallows. He won’t rise to it. Katsuki doesn’t know how to deal with emotions that aren’t anger; he needs to be angry, he needs a fight, to understand.

    The room tilts on its axis as Katsuki ducks his head.

    The world stops; because Katsuki starts to cry.

    Summary

    “Honestly Deku, I really couldn’t care less that you have a girlfriend.”

    Silence fell upon the room as Izuku gave him a look he couldn’t quite decipher. “...What are you trying to say?” Izuku finally questioned after several moments, carefully.

    Shit.

    Katsuki has been pining for years after Izuku. He's softened up a bit, bankrolled a hero suit for the nerd, and gives lectures at UA whenever Izuku requests it. So when what he thought was a dream they shared doesn't pan out like he'd planned, life goes in a direction Katsuki never would've expected.

    A story told over five acts which leans heavily into the pain of three characters, with Katsuki's anguish being the focal-point. The happy ending and eventual comfort to the hurt exists for everyone, no matter how bleak things may seem at times, but this story will be gut-wrenching to read most of the chapters. If you aren't at least a bit of a masochist, this fic is probably not for you. You have been warned.

    Oh, and the title of the fic is in part inspired by the song Scorpio Rising by Soccer Mommy, and also in part by, well, astrology.

    xoxo, enjoy :)

    Summary

    Since losing One For All, Izuku's life has slowed to an aching pace. Adrenaline lies dormant in his veins, his days morph into one with a repetitive schedule.
    A singular variable makes these days less torturous: Kacchan.
    His care, his attention, their bond has been strengthened with tungsten, unable to be shattered.

    Izuku has given up on being a hero, yet Katsuki refuses to let Izuku's dream die.

    So, when granted with the opportunity to bring back One For All, Katsuki takes it.

     

    WARNING: This fic will contain graphic depictions of mental illness, possession, obsession, codependency, and toxic dynamics. Katsuki and Izuku's relationship is severely unhealthy. Proceed with caution.

    NOTICE: ON INDEFINITE HIATUS!!!
