    Summary

    Faint crackling electricity, like the fabric of a windbreaker rubbing against itself, covering the sound of shifting rubble and settling dust. It’s a sound Katsuki’s heard a thousand times before, usually preceded with a shout from Deku saying One For All-

    “Full Cowling,” Katsuki whispers, staring and grasping for words. “What the fuck.”

    Deku is standing near Katsuki’s feet, back bowed forward like Atlas and body lit up with a green so bright it’s incandescent. Blackwhip escapes from his arms in countless tendrils, lightning arcs off his body every second, and there’s a faint tremble running through his legs.

    He’s terrifying. He’s beautiful.

    He’s holding the fucking building on his shoulders.

    -

    Bakugou and Midoriya get trapped under a building together.

    As Midoriya struggles to keep them both alive, refusing to give even an inch, Bakugou realizes some crucial things and refuses to leave without Midoriya by his side.

    Summary

    When a villain sends Izuku and Katsuki hundreds of years into the past, their only mode of escape relies on solving an impossible riddle: what is the beauty of all life?

    Alone, quirkless, and separated from everything they know, Izuku and Katsuki have to work together and embrace their unspoken love and devotion towards one another if they ever hope to return home.

    ***

    "What if it takes us like… ten years to get back? D'you ever worry about that?"

     

    What if we never get back?

     

    "'Course I do, nerd." Kacchan says it with more fondness in his voice than Izuku knew him capable. "And if we're gonna be stuck here a while, maybe we should start living our lives… here."

    Summary

    Izuku had always been fascinated by the sea. When he was still a child his mother told him that her mother had been a mermaid who had fallen in love with a human. Because of that the sea favored their family. Izuku had never understood what his mother meant by that, not until he had grown up and discovered his gift.

    Whenever he sang, the sea listened.
