Best Bakugou-centric with plot focus (that|deserve|attention)
Bakugou-centric fics here are majorly more plot-focused. Most would be platonic or there would ship but they are not the focus.
(Haha the thing I have here is my opinion of many fics that is the best Bakugou-centric with the plot. Feel free to look at it or something.)
(Edit: They are my favorites fics too)

Summary
As he rocketed through the air, Shigaraki’s scream of fury at his back and blood roaring in his ears, Bakugo has only eyes for the mismatched mass of bodies held together by fear and determination reaching for him, calling him amongst crackle of green lighting, a shark-toothed grin and a desperate cry. As he reaches his classmates in the sky, he’s too busy joining hands with a redhead to look back at his captors watching his ascension.
Because of that, he does not see.
He does not see All for One’s face, impassive and unmoving behind the black mask as he watched Bakugo get away. He does not see the villain roll his shoulders, he does not hear the low, satisfied hum coming from the man’s lips, as if happy with a task well done. He does not see All for One turn away to face All Might, ignoring his League of Villains scrambling all around him to try and get the blond back in their grasp.
He does not see, and everyone pays the price for it.
(In which All for One lets Bakugo get away for a reason.)

Summary
Be careful of where you leave your reading material, you might give the wrong idea.
UA has a traitor, and there's no idea who it could be, even after all this time. But one misplaced notebook from a certain quirkless student suddenly makes everything make sense. After all, how could a someone without power make it to a position to become the best, unless he had help from somewhere else? Somewhere that could make him look like a hero, while causing havoc and mayhem with his help?
Midoriya Izuku is a traitor, and he must be stopped. At least that's what they think.

Summary
“I’m not a hero. Or a good person,” Katsuki says, giving Aizawa a pointed look, “So leave me alone. I don’t care about the League or UA, or you—” The two years he’s been away have been fine, more than fine, fucking fantastic actually if you ignore the bi-monthly near-death experiences. He doesn’t need this place. He doesn’t miss this place.
And yet, longing, a childish desire to tear up, or maybe blow something to bits, they all twist in his chest like a band of traitors regardless. “—I just want to go home.”
Or: the one where Katsuki and Izuku fail the first term exam, Aizawa discovers their pasts, and Katsuki is booted from UA. Featuring questionable descriptions of villain organizations, a slightly illegal moving shop, and your favorite emotionally constipated badass in distress with a newly discovered penchant for collecting strays.
