    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

    At some point, Izuku had to stop. Unable to help himself, his fingers loosened around the washcloth and his palm came to rest flat over Katsuki’s chest, right over his heart.

    Thump Thump Thump, Katsuki's heart fluttered miraculously beneath his touch. It was a second chance Izuku didn’t deserve. His thumb hovered at the edge of his scar, where his pale, smooth, perfect skin gave way where evil had mercilessly shredded through. Before and after, separated by such an easy line.

    He swallowed hard, his throat tightening around a cry, trying to ground himself in the fact that Katsuki was here, alive, that none of those scars had taken his Kacchan away from him. They only created new patterns on the beautiful body that Izuku would wash clean.

    -

    Literally almost 20K of Izuku taking care of Katsuki after the war and them just talking.

    Summary

    The apartment always smelled faintly of burnt rice and stale air. Not the sharp, acrid smell of something actively burning, but the ghost of it. A smell that had soaked into the walls years ago and never quite left.

    ...

    They were never meant for each other. They always were just 2 strangers living in the same house. They could not be happy, not with each other, maybe not ever.

    Summary

    “Katsuki wishes helping Izuku was as easy as Izuku made it seem for others. The teen would fight it tooth and nail, and Katsuki would just let his guilt consume him, because even after all these years, he couldn’t do anything but watch and wallow in self-pity.

    He wonders if Izuku will be able to plaster on that smile forever.”

    Or

    Hisashi is back in Japan, Izuku is not ok, and Katsuki just wants to help him feel whole again.

    Summary

    After a failed suicide attempt, years of bullying, and his mother's death, Izuku Midoriya doesn't think he has any option besides joining the League of Villains. After all, foster care is no place for a quirkless kid like him. Plus, working as a hacker and analyst for the League doesn't sound like it would be too bad. But, after meeting a hurt little girl in Overhaul's headquarters, Toga and Izuku can't just sit back and take orders from Shigaraki anymore. With some careful consideration, Izuku figures a villain reformation program at UA doesn't sound horrible, even if it means having to put up with Bakugou.
