    Summary

    “Then why did you text me?” Katsuki frowns around a swallow of beer, it’s light, slightly bitter on the back of his tongue.

    “I, uh.” Izuku worries at his lower lip, eyes bouncing back and forth between Katsuki’s like he’s searching for something, a trap, an opening, an understanding.

    “Are you- Do you still have nightmares?” The question is so gentle when it leaves Izuku.

    or

    Katsuki wakes up from a nightmare to a few missed texts from Izuku.

    Summary

    "A great Hero will rise in these lands; it is told. You will guide the Once and Forever King to his glory and bring everlasting peace to the realm," said the dragon.

    Izuku was perplexed. "You must be talking about someone else. And the Once and Forever King?" Who...?

    It could only be...

    Izuku said, "Yagi."

    Kudo, at the same time, said, "Katsuki."

    Izuku’s eyes bulged. Suspended in disbelief, all he could do was laugh.

    In fact, Izuku couldn't help but think that this prophecy sounded like complete and utter bullshit.

    Or, when Izuku finds himself in the capital, his world is upended. His mission? Protect the brash, foul-mouthed prince from the shadows, for he is the Hero who will wake the realm from her slumber… eventually.

    But to succeed Izuku must hide that he has magic, unless he wants to end up on the pyre by morn.

    Summary

    "We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
    Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
    "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"

     

     

    During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.

    Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

    Summary

    Everyone knows about the cliche love stories with the school nerd and jock.
    He’s a cheeky asshole who can’t seem to keep it in his pants. She’s the straight-A bookworm whose only goal is to pass chemistry.

    He takes off her glasses to reveal her “true beauty.” She falls in love with his supposed sensitive side.

    But, this one in particular doesn’t quite follow the same boring formula.
    He’s the star hockey player forced to take an art course. He’s the stubborn art major who just wants one stress-free year.

    And it’s gonna take a lot more than the glasses move and some smooth talking for either of them in this story to budge.
