Too bad it's only for omegas.

Summary
lock. fill. wash. rinse. spin.
In his second year of college, Izuku moves out of the dorms and into an apartment. With the building's laundry room locked after 9pm, and barely functional when Izuku can make it on weekends, Izuku's taken to spending nights at the 24hr laundromat down the street. It's quiet, and clean, and a good place to do his assignments while his sheets tumble over themselves in the dryer.
2am also means the owner's on shift; equally quiet, equally clean. Scarred from an accident that took more than just his arm, Bakugou fills the hours with low croons to the music over the speakers and critiques of Izuku's folding techniques and a dozen other things that make Izuku fall in love.

This might take the (poorly planned) cake.

Summary
Is a twisted bond really so twisted when it once felt like everything? What is happiness, anyways? What kind of hero can Katsuki even be in this sort of society?
Or,
“I mean to say…well, do you see Izuku as a person?” Shouto Todoroki had asked him, "I think you see him as a symbol to strive towards. To chase."
…And promptly turned the next 4 years of Katsuki Bakugou's life upside down.
"What kind of hero are you without Izuku Midoriya?"
And just what is heroism, anyways?
OR—Izuku insists he has everything he wants. Katsuki can’t say the same about himself. So, he’s going to find his birds and make them sing, even if he has to force them, dammit!

Summary
“Congratulations on getting nine out of ten questions correct! Without further ado, let’s move on to the last question..” Hanazawa paused for dramatic effect as the lights dimmed and the spotlights overhead honed in on their podiums.
“What is … your hero partner’s type?”
A brief silence.
“‘Type?’” Izuku questioned at the same time as Kacchan.
“Yes, type,” the host laughed. “Like, who would they date? What are they into?”
The blood drained from Izuku’s face and he shot a panicked look at Kacchan. The blond didn’t seem to be faring any better, his gaze zeroed in on Hanazawa as if he could will her to change the question to something else.
Izuku... didn't know the answer to that.
--
In order to increase their popularity rankings as up and coming pro heroes, Izuku and Katsuki participate in the most popular late night talk show for hero duos - ‘Heroes Rising!’. They’re killing it, obviously, because they know each other from inside and out. Until one question stumps the two of them: “What is your hero partner’s type?”

Summary
In ancient times, the lands and humanity were protected by animal-human hybrids, Legends, that carry One For All’s spirit. Being a Legend taking the form of a ram, Midoriya Izuku travels town to town and uses his powers to weave his magical wool into healing cloth items for humans.
One day however, when hopelessly lost and injured in his ram form during a snowstorm, he's rescued by a hunter, Bakugou Katsuki. To repay his debt, Izuku shapeshifts himself as a human and presents himself at Katsuki’s door as a traveller seeking refuge from the storm.
Izuku’s plans to weave his gifts of gratitude for Katsuki and leave by morning goes awry when the storm, his sustained injuries, and the townspeople already struggling with sickness unexpectedly forces Izuku and Katsuki to cohabitate... indefinitely.
Loyal to his duties, Izuku dedicates himself to weaving for the village to help them combat the sickness. But now, by living with Katsuki and the townspeople, he’s forced to grapple with what it means to be a human, have a home, and maybe even fall in love.
Or: A loose adaptation of the Japanese folklore, 'The Crane Wife.' Made for the Ever After Bang.
