    Summary

    Izuku tries his best to hide how badly the aftermath of the war is affecting him.

    The nightmares, the lack of sleep, the skipped meals, the slipping grades —he buries all of it under forced smiles and tired excuses.

    Most importantly: Katsuki can’t find out. 

     

    What sweet Deku didn’t account for, however, "Kacchan Bakugo" has always been far too observant when it comes to him.

     
    He notices the dark circles, the flinching, the way Izuku’s hands shake after training. And once Katsuki realizes something is wrong, he refuses to let it go.
    Izuku does his best to deny everything and avoid him — though that becomes a lot harder when even his quirk decides to act up against his will.

    Eventually, Katsuki corners him after another uncontrolled outburst, demanding fucking answers.

     

    Sets after the War

    Summary

    Gold foil was all that stood between him and the limited edition Y’All Might Western card. The day the card was announced to be put into the packs, Izuku called off work so he could be there for its release. He plotted out the likelihood of finding what he sought by store and drove to the one with the largest stock, and therefore the highest chance of him getting the prized card. Unfortunately, it was the closest store to them, and it was still over an hour away . 

    --

    Izuku and Katsuki have a bond over their favorite card game: My Hero Academia The Card Game. It's how they met and they continue to keep the tradition going.

    Why not open their own card shop? Their lives are dedicated to the game already.

    Kacchan rolls his eyes. “You’re a whiney attention whore when you’re sick. Should’ve complained some more if you were trying to actually get away with the lie.”

    Izuku squints at Kacchan. “I am not whiney. Or an attention whore.”

    “Still lying?”

    Izuku fights the desire to roll his eyes. He takes back his earlier thought. Kacchan can leave whenever.

    Izuku hates the dark. He hates the rain. Most of all, he hates that he still remembers the cold of the war so vividly.

    In which the power goes out and the trauma kicks in. A story about post-war jitters, accidental floor cuddles, and the realization that sometimes, a stubborn heartbeat is the only distraction you really need.

    Summary

    Katsuki stares at him, taking in the sight of Izuku in his pajamas and shivering like crazy with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair. He frowns.

    He’s too smart not to immediately realize Izuku isn’t coming from his bedroom, and slowly, silently, takes in the horrible looks of him from head to toe. He’s not okay – but he didn’t come for me this time?

    Dark bags under his eyes, pale face, shuddering body. A wave of deep worry hits Katsuki like a truck, and he leaves the damn breakfast behind to approach and reach for Izuku, meaning to pull him into a warm embrace like he’s often taken to doing – he looks like he needs one.

    But Izuku immediately flinches away.

     

    Alternatively: Izuku has bad nightmares about the War and doesn't know how to cope. He relies on Katsuki for comfort for a while, until one nightmare about his death makes him decide to put his distance between the two of them. As it turns out, Katsuki doesn't know how to cope with that either, and trouble only increases when Izuku accidentally hurts Katsuki during a UA training.

    Summary

    Years after the war, Izuku Midoriya teaches at U.A., passing on lessons that nearly destroyed him. Katsuki Bakugou, still one of Japan’s top heroes, doesn’t know what to do with the quiet that’s followed.

    A simple errand brings him back to U.A., and suddenly he’s standing in the classroom where they grew up: where they fought, bled, and learned what it meant to save each other.

    What begins as a short visit turns into something more.

    Summary

    Kacchan hummed as he lightly scratched at Izuku’s scalp and massaged the soap through. 

    Izuku braced himself against the wall. “Why are you doing this?” He sounded wounded—he felt wounded. 

    “Doing what?”

    “Torturing me,” he croaked, resting his forehead against the cool shower tile and silently begging for his torment to end. 

    Kacchan was giving him glimpses of what he’d never have: careful touches, falling asleep in loving arms, being loved unconditionally, being seen for who he truly was, and being loved for who he was. And it was killing him. 

    ——

    Or, shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Izuku wakes Katsuki up with a bad migraine. Katsuki plays nurse as best he can with one functioning arm and a weak heart. As the days pass and Izuku fails to get better, Katsuki suspects there’s a deeper meaning behind his worsening condition.

    Summary

    The war is over, and the city is rebuilding—but peace doesn’t come easily to those who survived it.

    Izuku Midoriya is learning how to live in the quiet aftermath of violence, carrying guilt, fear, and the constant dread of loss. Bakugou Katsuki is fighting a different battle: proving he can still stand on his own while terrified of what it would mean to fall again.

    When distance, injury, and unspoken fear threaten to pull them apart, they’re forced to confront the truth they’ve been avoiding—healing doesn’t happen alone.

    Sometimes love isn’t loud.
    Sometimes it’s staying.

    Summary

    In the low light, Katsuki could now tell they had some sort of mutation quirk that the room couldn’t get rid of. Horns and pointed ears adorned their head, and well as dragon-like wings that were clamped down by thick chains. Dark grey and green tincture sparsely covered their arms and torso. They reminded him of a demon. But, more than that, this person reminded him of…

    No. No fucking way.

    As soon as they locked eyes— as soon as Katsuki saw his emerald green eyes he knew he remembered this boy. His childhood friend. The one everyone forgot because he was a child without a quirk. Izuku Midoriya.

     

    Deku was taken years ago and experimented on with multiple quirks, the villains responsible threaten to add Katsuki's to the mix... unless they can escape together.

    The nerd blinked at Katsuki again, and why was that wide eyed face making his chest hurt. It was pissing him off. The other man finally broke the staring when he shivered again, shuffling to get comfortable before settling in to stare at the fire.

    “Thanks for worrying about me, Kacchan.”

    He scoffed. “One of us needs to make sure we make it back in one piece.”

    Izuku chuckled. “I guess.” His voice grew softer. “Still, I’m glad it was you.”

    Or;

    Katsuki and Izuku get stuck in a cave when a blizzard stops them from making it back to the village. While taking care of Izuku, Katsuki realizes some things.

    And so he finds himself tasked with making the choice of either saving his own life or Katsuki's.

    Summary

    After Shigaraki/AFO leveled the City, Izuku Midorya survives - barely.
    Repeadetly flat lining during surgery leaves him alive... but mentally regressed to his fourteen-year-old Aldera self with no memory of U.A., One For All, or the boy who once nearly died protecting him.

    To Aldera Izuku, Katsuki Bakugo is still his bully.
    To present-day Bakguo, Izuku is the person he would burn the world down to save.

    When fear finally drives Izuku to run, Bakugo follows - not to drag him back, but to make sure he never has to be alone again.

    A story about trauma, more-or-less second chances, and the quiet stubborn kind of love that waits even when memory doesn't.

    or: Izuku hits "factory reset", crashes out and Bakugo takes custody.

    Such a unique idea for a post war fic! I never heard anything like this so i cant resist the urger to click on this fic when i saw the summary!!
    Its rlly well written, i felt deku's fear and franticness and also felt kacchan's frustration too. I'm assuming aizawa's "house arrest" isnt rlly a punishment but just to let them heal and take their time.
    Dekus amazing tho, running so far with his injuries. I love Kacchan's deku-senses too!!!
    I love this fic!!!

    Summary

    There was something wrong with the nerd. Katsuki could see it despite the smile the idiot plastered on his face in front of the rest of the class. A dark shadow had taken up residence behind those viridian eyes. It wasn’t abnormal. All of them had some weight resting on their shoulders since the war ended. They would never be the same people they were a year ago. But the difference between Izuku and everyone else is that the freckled boy was trying to shoulder everyone else's burdens without processing his own. It’s like he’s running away from all the memories of the war, but it wouldn’t stop them from catching up with him in time. 

    Katsuki hated how clearly he could see it—how blind the others were to it. 

    Izuku was drowning right in front of them, sinking deeper and deeper into the rapid currents of grief and guilt, and no one could see it.

    ———

    the emotions that follow after the war. izuku is drowning in grief and guilt—katsuki reaches out a hand.

    takes place directly after the end of the war against afo and shigaraki
