Character Driven My Hero Academia
Non-shipping-focused stories that provide more than just what's on the surface. Yes, there are some wonderful character-driven romantic relationship stories, but this collection is for those others that so easily get buried or lost in the avalanche of BNHA fandom.

Summary
"Besides, it was well known in various circles that Ground Zero liked to revisit sites and look around. Though, Todoroki would not describe it as a ‘like’ of Bakugou’s. More of an obligation. Todoroki’s heard some friends call it compulsive. Perhaps they were right."
Reposted twitter thread I wrote at someone's request to be destroyed emotionally. Now with a chapter 2!

Summary
Toshinori Yagi gives One for All to Izuku Midoriya on a bright morning in the spring, with fog rolling in over the beach, burning off in sunlight that was nearly cold in its whiteness.
He plucks a hair from his head and watches this still tiny green-haired boy swallow it, and thinks, Well, that's it then.
It's not.

Summary
When Bakugou is six, his quirk catches the wrong kind of attention, and he's kidnapped by villains and raised to be a foul-mouthed, violent, angry bully, tough as nails and obsessed with being the strongest. So, he's the same, really.
What changes is his relationship with everyone else.
Or: how Bakugou blows shit up, meets a cute boy, fights everyone (including himself), accidentally gains a cult following, and maybe, eventually, haltingly, finds his way home.

Summary
How does an angry teenager change from taunting a classmate to kill himself to helping his rival become a better hero? A canon compliant retelling of the first three seasons of the anime from Bakugou Katsuki‘s PoV.
When you look into a kaleidoscope, you see a pattern. When the kaleidoscope turns, the pattern changes, and what you see is completely different.
As a teenager, Bakugou Katsuki has a very clear picture of the world and his place at the center of it. However, too many pieces don’t fit where he thinks they should go, no matter how hard he shoves them.
Maybe his life needs to turn completely upside down for him to see things in a new way.

Summary
It was a quiet night like this one when Shinsou had held his hand, stopping Katsuki from pushing his chair back and leaving with the empty dishes in hand. He still remembers the contrast—smooth white against his scarred tan, the brush of fingers on the back of his palm—and he remembers sitting down, something not quite a sneer but not quite a smile on his face.
Then talk, he’d said, all impatience and abrasive vitriol, and Shinsou…

Summary
“Shouto, right? You need-“
Shouto sent a wave of ice up his own arm and Deku released him with a curse. Todoroki rolled to brace his back against the wall, aiming his right hand at the vigilante.
“Stop it!”
The previously light-hearted vigilante scowled at him as he brushed frost roughly off his arm.
“Look, I get it. I really do, but with all of the big guns away we need you fighting-fit and you’re not helping anyone reducing yourself to this.”
Shouto bristled at the hand that waved at him, keenly aware of his shivering and the ice flaking off of his own skin. "What do you care?"
--------
Six years ago the Heroics Course Survivors defeated the League of Villains. In the present, an attempt on All Might's life causes Todoroki to cross paths with a nosy vigilante known as Deku. As the two strike up a tentative partnership they'll have to contend with villains, monsters and their own natures to uncover who is behind the newest string of attacks.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
Although it's tagged Midoriya/Todoroki, it's not typical "sex and romance" shipping, but instead about trust and choices and how to live in a complicated world. Densely plotted and deeply nuanced.

Inspired by headcanon: Number One hero Deku is still a fanboy and regularly freaks out rookie heroes by going up to them and asking for their autographs like they don't all have posters of him hanging up in their rooms.
