Summary
He should be dead by now, or at least succumbing to the mindless and endless urge for human flesh. However, Izuku Midoriya has to wonder as he touches his forearm's uneven and lacerated skin why he hasn't turned yet.
With the world order reset, a group of survivors have to adapt and survive against the constant threat of flesh-eating zombies and the living alike, while confronting a constantly mutating sense of morality and humanity.

Summary
After the war ends and All For One has been vanquished from the world and the dust settles, Katsuki and Izuku make many strides with both their dreams and each other. After a heated discussion turns into something much more, Katsuki and Izuku part ways—astray and heartbroken.

Summary
Katsuki isn't sure what's worse—the fact his drunken, asshole friends went behind his back and signed him up for a hero dating service. Or, the fact that it forced two people who unknowingly broke each other's hearts to face each other.

Summary
Katsuki Bakugou, lead singer and the star of an up-and-coming rock band, needs to write a set amount of love songs as per the contract with his label.
The bad news is: he sucks at it. The even worse news is: they need to hire a dorky-looking lyricist who always manages to get on Katsuki's nerves to help them out.
━━━━━━━━𝄞━━━━━━━━
Izuku Midoriya is elated to be the lyricist for one of the coolest new bands of the century, really he is!
But it would've been... a lot more enjoyable if the hotheaded lead singer didn't glare at him so harshly every time they work together! This is going to be a very difficult partnership indeed.

What The Fuck Did You Just Call Me? by reading_raindrop

Summary
“A-ah B-Bakugou! You dropped some pencils!”
Katsuki stiffened. Kirishima and Kaminari froze. Basically, everyone within earshot stopped what they were doing to look at Izuku like he sprouted a second head. What did he just call him? “What the fuck did you just say to me?”
Katsuki whipped his head towards Izuku with his signature death glare as he stood up from where he picked up the fallen supplies.
“U-um I said you dropped some pencils! I think this eraser might be yours to-”
“No. What the fuck did you just call me?”
Izuku starts calling him Bakugou and it pisses the explosive teen off a lot more than he thought it would

Summary
Dialing a wrong number was no unusual occurrence. Everyone did it once in a while, and Katsuki was well aware of that fact.
However, possessing this knowledge made it no less aggravating for him to discover — a full two minutes into his rant about his day — that he’d been venting his frustrations to a complete stranger. As if that wasn't enough, said stranger was also inexplicably determined to hear his story to its end.
