AO3 Fanfic Recommendations
Note: If you read any of these stories and like them please let the author know with a kudos and/or comment!
@theyfuckinggay-goodforthem you asked and I delivered. One thing before I start: remember to check the ao3 tags! I'm going to give my opinion on a few fics, but I won't be talking explicitly about their content. So beware!
Hello, I’m soft for this problematic child and his feral lord-explodo-murder childhood friend.
It’s been a rough journey for both of them with even more rough patches on the way. But I like the development of their relationship and their new dynamics. All of these are SFW - or rated M + aged up at most - because they are BABIES and they deserve cute and soft things after all they’ve been through.
All of these are complete works because I don’t like getting cliffhanged and most are no more than 10 chapters because my attention span sucks.
Updated: 17/04/22 - a total of 13 fics!
Never Have I Ever by Merrywetherweather (canon AU)
An “Accidental Dating” trope fic where Izuku needs help navigating all the social outings he never experienced in middle school and Katsuki ends up accidentally taking him on a bunch of dates.
What The Fuck Did You Just Call Me? by reading_raindrop (canon AU)
Izuku starts calling him Bakugou and it pisses the explosive teen off a lot more than he thought it would.
There are words to say stay safe, I’ll miss you, I love you, but Kacchan has always preferred to leave things unspoken. Izuku isn’t much with languages, but he thinks he’s figured out this one.
First list on the new blog! 10 more complete nsfw fics–minors dni.

Ten more complete, nsfw (minors dni) fic recs. Just in time for the holidays! Feel free to hole up away from whatever you need to get away from and squee with me about our boys. Always a good option 😌

So I did it. I compiled a list of Explicit Fics for my fellow bkdks.
These are sorted by top/bottom conventions: DKBK, BKDK, switching, and ambiguous. Favs have a star⭐ in the title.
I read some of them ages ago so if there's a mistake in the descriptions, feel free to let me know. If you liked the fics, also let me know so we can bond over this shared perversion interest.
Another 10 sfw fics to rec! I’ve really fallen in love with sfw anew lately. My beloved. As always, if you read any of these fics and like them, please squee with me!

i made this so i can keep track of them but also so i can spread the joy of some of these fics to those who have yet to read them. enjoy <3
(mature and explicit fics are marked as such)
- allow me the pleasure of loving you by pyrrhicwildfire (no matter how many todobaku fics i read, i always find myself drawn back to this fic. they’re so in love <3)
- Andromeda: Death by tankman (it’s one of the few fem!bakugou fics i genuinely love. they don’t just reduce her to ‘spunky tsundere’ but actually take the time to delve into the misogyny female heroes endure. i think this quote summarises it best: “Women were the best martyrs, weren’t they?”. also, lesbian bakujirou!!)
- A Study in Firsts by Oceanbreeze7 (if you need a reason to read this fic: a bomb squad is called in to dispose of bakugou’s sweaty socks and mitsuki tries to throw down with endeavor)
- Bro Trip by notoraeous (this is a midoriya-centric fic in which he, bakugou, kirishima and kaminari embark on a roadtrip to find midoriya’s dad (though they don’t know that). there’s a play list and it definitely looks like something kirishima would make)
- By love’s blind chance we’ve been bound by Hedgehog-kun (kirbaku witcher au that i think is just. so cute??? kirishima’s the witcher and bakugou’s a witch, featuring our darling bard kaminari. please read it it’s so good)
- charm potions for dumbasses in love by pyrrhicwildfire (dabibaku, in which bakugou is a witch and touya keeps buying love potions to use on him. he’s so stupid <3)
- control fraek by aloera (hagakure and hatsume truly deserve more appreciation than they receive, this fic is. out of this world.)
- Damned if You Shindon’t, Damned if You Shindo by MECHACHANSEY (a rebound fic with bakugou and shindo. it is. excellence.)
- EXEUNT by Heronfem (a todobaku fic from the perspective of midoriya (plus some kirideku). absolute perfection tbh)
- Fire Lily by EtherealBeing (i don’t really read bakudeku fics but this one?? this one??? where do i even fucking start this is GORGEOUS. it uses angels and demons to explore themes of fascism, discrimination, indoctrination, oppression, and there’s this specific leitmotiv of eve’s apple that is just!!! i love it. nothing compares to fire lily’s world building.)
- found myself a cheerleader by wonhaebunny (bakugou… in a cheerleader costume!! it also centres on the remedial course squad which is superior, i love my girl camie)
- Hanafunki by PurplePersnickety (i Do Not like hanahaki fics on principle but this might be the only exception to that rule. it’s so funny and absurd. kiribaku.)
- Lazarus by drifting_manatee (a thriller in which bakugou gets buried alive and his friends have four hours to get him out before he suffocates. it’s very stressful but also very fun.)
- Men With Facial Hair Are More Attractive Than Men Without It by curovogel (a todobaku fic where todoroki gets a fucking moustache, and the sheer cursed-ness of the idea has me reeling)
- Nitro White Widow by Oceanbreeze7 (bakugou starts detaching from his class after kirishima and midoriya start dating and lemme tell u, this is fan-fucking-tastic)
- NyQuil™ by useless_donut (the pinnacle of rebound fics, in my opinion. kirishima rejects bakugou after he confesses, and shinsou is there to pick up the pieces)
- One Step Closer by tusslee (this fic focuses on the friendship between bakugou and uraraka, and his developing relationship with kirishima as bakugou learns to walk again. it’s one of the first fics i ever bookmarked)
- Slope by sunfleurmoon (this fic. this FUCKING FIC. i love it with all my heart, it’s like bakugou whump central)
- starbound by munchmuffins (todobaku 1980s roadtrip fic. todoroki is so completely and utterly in love with bakugou it isn’t even funny)
- stillness and sanctuary by wonhaebunny (this is the fic that started it all, it’s the reason i ship bakuiida. just read the author’s bibliography, actually, i can’t rec everything.)
- The Kids Will Be Alright, Eventually by NotWithThatAttitude (listen if you’re looking for a masterclass in how to write rape recovery, just read this fic. it’s handled with so much care and attention, and none of it ever felt forced)
- the most frustrating part by pyrrhicwildfire (karibaku in which class 1A (specifically denki) are a bunch of nosy nellies. they have 98 works but i suggest you read them all)
- through different eyes by pyrrhicwildfire (it’s an unhealthy, one-sided bakudeku series that i 100% recommend)
- to have and to hold by aloera (the bakusquad are so fucking stupid in this fic i adore it. plus camie is featured, which always elevates a fic)
- Untouchable by groundz3r0 (kiribaku bodyguard au!! it hasn’t updated for a hot minute but it’s still a really good read)
- Weightless by drifting_manatee (when i feel like i need to cry, i simply read this fic)
- we’re just killin’ time by cenli (this todobaku fic perfectly captures the monotonous atmosphere of purgatory, the fic FEELS muted and grey. it’s also really funny)
- What Meets the Eye by stereonightss (there’s something so funny about bakugou and midoriya reconciling and using their combined abilities for nefarious purposes)
Archeologist 20,000 years after horses go extinct: *cries* I don’t
20,000 years in the future: a horse may have been a slang term for a medical employee.
i was worried my cat is dehydrated because i never see him drink water so i’ve started leaving a cup of water that’s “mine” (aka he sees me drink out of it once before he does) in my room so he thinks he is being a rebellious naughty by drinking out of it but rlly he is just following my plan & being hydrated .

I lived and worked in a lighthouse at a previous job. There was a thick line painted in a circle around the shack where the fog signal was kept. The line represented how close you could get to the fog signal without experiencing physical harm in the form of eardrums shattering or worse.
Even in the house it was LOUD. Probably the loudest thing I have ever experienced but at a normal, predictable interval. You would begin to time your sentences with little pauses with the rest of the lighthouse crew so you would talk like this while making your………..HORN…………. tea and then carry on talking because you knew when it would go off. It rattled the walls and the dishes in our cabinet.
At least one girl had died there. They kept photos of her everywhere “in honor of her sacrifice” because she had decided to take the winter watch alone and died in a storm where bounders the size of mini vans had been lifted out of the ocean and left scattered across the island, to say nothing of the ice chunks. People weren’t allowed to be alone on the watch after that.
One day a dead moose washed up on shore and it took my entire crew all day but we managed to rig up a line to hang it up to dry because we thought having a moose skeleton in the house would really spice the living room up a bit. It did. Weird shit happens when six of you are left alone, like ALONE ALONE, no cell reception, no wifi, just a radio to contact the real world and not a lot of reason to do that. People don’t go on lighthouse jobs if they want to stay connected, I’ve found.
That said Id do it all again, I really do treasure those days
you know you could’ve just said “no they don’t have wifi” and that would’ve answered the question
But then you wouldnt have known about the moose
interviewer: Mr. Wayne, have you heard of the popular internet jokes about you dating Batman?
bruce wayne: Yes I have heard of them, but if I were going to date any superhero it'd be Superman and not an overdramatic furry
His interviewer, Clark Kent, turns suspiciously pink
