    Summary

    Bakugou Katsuki is a lot of things, but he always told himself that stupid wasn't one of them. As it turns out, he's in the running for biggest idiot on the face of the planet, and it's looking like he might win. He's a ballet dancer—and a damn good one, at that—who was flying high until his years of abusing his body finally caught up to him, leaving him unable to walk and angry as all hell.

    If he ever wants to dance again, he'll need weeks of physical therapy, and who better to provide that than the friend of a friend? Hopefully this Kirishima Eijirou guy is good at his job, otherwise Katsuki will have to kill him, and killing such an attractive man seems like a crime against humanity.

    Dear god, I saw this one ages ago and was really curious to read it but I always put off actually doing it because of its length because I’m lazy.
    It was so worth it. Beautiful story, beautiful character development and character introspection. The dynamics are so well done and hilarious when they have to be. I may have thought that it was long before actually reading it, but now that I’ve finished it I actually wished it was longer.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Katsuki knows he works hard. But Katsuki also knows now that there’s so many people that work hard for the things they want, and sometimes—sometimes, they get lucky while they’re at it. But luck, whether good or bad, doesn’t even come close to describing the realizations and trials and all the other bullshit that come with growing up.“
    There’s so many things that could be said after finishing reading this work and they are definitely too much to be written here, but I think this quote sums up pretty well what I was feeling by the end of it. Stories of personal growth and introspection are definitely my favorites, I love the initial confusion and frustration of a character as they realize there’s something they don’t get about themselves and how the pieces of the puzzle slowly find their natural place and everything starts to make sense. I love the clarity that comes from learning by past mistakes or new experience. I even love the emotional turmoil.
    Maybe this will be more simple if I say I loved everything about this story, because I did.

    Summary

    He can still feel Kirishima’s gaze on him when he finishes eating, so he shoots him a sideways glare and says, “Stop being fucking coy.”

    “Huh?” Kirishima asks, blinking and looking away like that’d convince Bakugou he hadn’t just been staring.

    “Man up,” Bakugou hisses at him. “If there’s something you want, then fucking say it.”

    Kirishima goes quiet, again, and Bakugou can practically hear the gears turning in his head. If he keeps this up, he’s going to burn out whatever brain he still has. Just as Bakugou’s about to scoff and tell him so, Kirishima leans in so that their faces are too close together.

    “What,” Bakugou says, every one of his muscles locking up as he fights conflicting urges to lean closer and edge away from Kirishima’s proximity.

    “You stopped me, last time,” Kirishima tells him, lips curled into a pout. “Are you going to let me say it, now?”

    Kirishima has always made things easy for Bakugou. But that doesn't mean that Bakugou's gotten any better at these things, even after all of these years.

    The beutiful journey of learning oneself, how and when to let go and feel freely and that some things might seem scary but are still totally worth it in the end. Really touching in all the right way.

    Summary

    Lance and his friends have been regulars at the Altea Dance Studio for years. Not just for classes, but to hang out, practice, and spend time with good people who love dancing. Every year, they audition to be one of the few representing Altea at the regional dance competition. Lance always auditions solo, but this year he misses out on auditions and blows his chance to participate. And so does his self-proclaimed rival, Keith.

    Luckily, Shiro comes up with a brilliant plan: convince Lance and Keith to audition as a duo.

    With a little convincing, and a lot of effort, these two might just be able to pull it off and go to regionals... or they might crash and burn.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This fic is the real deal. This is the very first Klance fan fiction I remember reading, the one that brought me in the fandom and made me stay for good. I don’t know if it’s really the first Klance fic I’ve ever read, but it’s the one that stuck the most. A dance school au, with just the right amount of pining and slow burn, and man, do these things affect me a lot. This author is pure gold, I’ve read more than a work from them and every time I finish one I’m always so overwhelmed and satisfied. So many feelings. There are more of their stories that I should catch up on, to be fair. But something tells me that even if I did this one would still be my favorite. I read so many beautiful Klance fic after this one that I wouldn’t have read if not for it, I feel kinda grateful.
