where i ramble on about ideas i want to write but don’t have time for (yet): https://kewltie.tumblr.com/tagged/not%21fic
thinky thoughts about my writing projects: https://kewltie.tumblr.com/tagged/on-writing
originally it started bc i wanted to a heat fic that build up over days till the eventual mating but sex itself isnt necessary the focus. i thought of heat like a period, the symptoms, mood swing, cramps, etc and how at our worst sometimes we have a partner that suffered w us :P
so an omega's heat can varies in exp like a period irl. for most it hit every few months like a regular cycle that they come to expect and plan their life around it, while for others it's irregular, and then some has it so rarely that when it does hit the symptoms hit HARD. mating is the goal for all heat/rut but w today's tech and moral standards that's not really the case anymore :P. theres heat/rut shelter, suppressant, toys, etc that help inhibit these needs so ppl dont need a partner or locked into these baser compulsion of their ancestors. BUT heat/rut still take a toll on ppl's mentally, emotionally, and physically. izuku gets weepy and clingy and that's just the preheat hormonal shifts settling in. it's messy. it's ugly and so, so awful to feel like you're tittering on the edge but you still move on w your day.
no one expect you to drop everything and take like 1-2 weeks off just for pre-heat/rut 'jitters'. there's this assumed standard where alphas/omegas are supposed to able to keep control of their instinct and behave properly until they couldn't anymore (i.e. full on heat/rut). so when izuku and katsuki goes through their rut/heat cycle, during their preheat they still go to work, go out, and do normal stuff and even if their hormones are out of wack, their body tired, and their instincts are rewired they still functional enough to be 'presentable'. if you cant handle that then that's a you problem, society setting the bar way fucking high out of their A/O. thats why both katsuki and izuku still working through it all... but they got e/o for support. you dont need a partner to get thru your cycle but it defs help A LOT.
as you can tell izuku going through an emotional mess and as he get through the peak of heat when his brain start shut down and all he can think about is katsuki and mating but katsuki still asked for his permission to be w him just bc theyre together doesnt mean it's expected.
i actually had no plan to do a rut version but i thought it was unfair not to explore katsuki's side and how his rut affected him. izuku is loud and messy but katsuki goes silent and growly. not everyone response the same as bkdk but thats just how their body and mental cope. izuku rarely let himself be greedy and so open about his needs so when he's in his 'heat' his inhibition is lower so it all come pouring out vs katsuki who turns inward and reserved his few words only of importance and is visibly affectionate and behave like an overgrown cat lol. bkdk response to e/o in diff ways for katsuki he's trying to meet izuku's childish whims and clingyness bc katsuki spoil him so AND KATSUKI WANTS TO SPOILED while izuku enjoys this overly affectionate beast clinging to him like he want to bury under izuku's skin and he LOVES IT.
in the finale of each of season for bkdk i had both of them asking for permission/seeking the other to join the last phase of their heat/rut bc i felt like even if all their struggles through the cycle of their partner they still have to ask; is this ok, can i be there w you etc
Katsuki buries his head against Izuku's nape, his teeth grazing the skin.
"That tickle." He squirms under the assault, but Katsuki holds him firm as he growls and nips at the skin.
Izuku turns around and smiles at the heated look in his eyes. "Oh, is it that time for you?"
02.
"Are those for me?" Izuku asks, eyes wide at the colorful display of all his favorite dishes laid out on the table.
Katsuki grunts in affirmation as he hands him his chopstick.
"Thank you," he says with a bright, infectious grin. "Kacchan always take such a good care of me."
03.
"Is Katsuki okay?"
"Pre-rut," Izuku explains to a concerned Kirishima over the phone, glancing at Katsuki as he wipes down the table with a singular obsession.
"Ah."
"He should be fine at work, just give him lots of space and don't mind the growl," Izuku says cheerfully.
04.
"You want to hold hands?" he asks, unable to keep the shock out of his voice. "In public?!" He squeaks in embarrassment.
Katsuki frowns, quickly withdrawing his hand, but Izuku catches it in time.
He blushes, not letting it go. "Yes, I would like that. I would like that a lot."
05.
"Deku-san?"
Izuku smiles. "I'm just here to drop him off."
The receptionist's gaze drops, pointedly staring at their clasped hands. Katsuki growls, chest rumbling menacingly that she recoils in shock.
"Don't worry, that's just his chest monster," he cheerily reassures her.
06.
"In case he gets a little tetchy, this shirt has my scent." Izuku holds out an old, ratty t-shirt.
Eijirou stares. "Is that really necessary?"
A hand shoots out and snatches the shirt from Izuku's grip. Katsuki's chest rumbles as he rubs it against his cheek.
"Ah, I see."
07.
"Oh," Eijirou stops in front of a magazine stand, "that's Midoriya's new cover for Under the Cape."
Katsuki stares at it then grabs an entire stack of the magazine. "Wait, save some for the other customers!" Katsuki continues to head toward the register as Eijirou sighs.
08.
"He almost bit off the head of a villain we had detained, but we got it under control," Eijirou informs over the phone.
"Oh, should I come by later?" Izuku asks worriedly.
"Nah, it's all good," he replies. "Katsuki been staring at your photo for the last 10 minutes to calm down."
09.
"How was your day, Kacchan?"
Katsuki drops his head on Izuku's shoulder, sighs, and nips playfully at his chin. Izuku laughs as he strokes Katsuki's hair. "That good, huh?"
He grunts in acknowledgment as Izuku's gaze passes him to wave in greeting at an incredulous Eijirou.
10.
The second they step foot into the store, Katsuki deposits Izuku by the frozen food aisle while he heads off to hunt down the items on his grocery list. He comes back 15 minutes later with a cart of food and a frown, eyes narrowing in contempt at the bag of chips in Izuku's arm.
11.
As their last item is scanned, the cashier makes another glance at Katsuki and blushes. "That would be ¥9,776."
Izuku swipes his card while Katsuki's face remains stony beside him. When they're done, he pulls out a Dynamight's photocard and gifts it to cashier with a knowing smile.
12.
"Should we go out?"
Katsuki glowers at him.
Unfazed, Izuku continues, "There's a new Thai place—"
Abruptly, Katsuki yanks him forward and right into his lap. He bites Izuku's cheek pointedly.
"I guess we can just stay in," Izuku huffs, cheek stinging but his smile is there.
13.
"Uh, are you going to let me in anytime soon, buddy?" Kirishima asks sheepishly.
Katsuki's scowl only deepens, his body continuing to block their apartment's entrance.
"Or I can just stay out here. That's cool too."
Izuku pushes Katsuki out of the way. "Sorry, please come in!"
14.
Izuku excuses himself from the dinner table, but Katsuki stands up alongside him.
"Bathroom," Izuku says quietly, but not quietly enough.
"Bro, he's just going to pee," Eijirou say. "You don't need to hold his hand for that too."
Katsuki shoots him a glare as Izuku laughs.
15.
Izuku finds him in the children section, starring at a baby pjs with a fixated expression on his face.
"Oh." He blushes. "You said we're still young now but maybe we can try in the future—"
"I was wrong." Katsuki grunts, grabbing his hand. "Let's go home and work on it now."
16.
"Thanks," Izuku says, unbuckling his seat belt.
Katsuki stares.
Bashfully, he bares his throat. Katsuki leans over and presses his nose against his skin, nuzzling into the warmth.
"I'll pick you up at 5," he murmurs, pulling away casually like he hasn't leave Izuku undone.
17.
As Izuku bends down to pick up the shattered glass on the floor Katsuki catches his waist and hauls him over his shoulder.
"Kacchan!" he yelps. "Put me down!"
Katsuki smacks his butt pointedly and that shuts him up completely. Izuku hides his face in his hands and surrenders.
18.
"We thought we wouldn't get to see you for another three days," Ochako teases. "Does Bakugou know you left the nest?"
Izuku smiles sheepishly, picking up his cup and tries not to look behind them, where Katsuki is five tables down and tucked in a corner watching them from afar.
19.
Abruptly, Katsuki grips his chin and yanks it toward him. Red on green.
A tense silence passes between them then Izuku smiles in realization. He removes Katsuki's hand from his person and hold it in his lap, thumb tenderly stroking his knuckles. "Oh, was I ignoring you? Sorry."
20.
"I-I don't want to assume," Izuku rambles, "but if you want, uh, do that I don't mind. I already asked for the next 3 days off."
Katsuki stares at him, then adds three more boxes of condom from the shelf into the basket and walks away, leaving Izuku fluster with anticipation.
"I-I don't want to assume," Izuku rambles, "but if you want, uh, do that I don't mind. I already asked for the next 3 days off."
Katsuki stares at him, then adds three more boxes of condom from the shelf into the basket and walks away, leaving Izuku fluster with anticipation.
not all rut end w sex and izuku doesnt expect that either bc it's a v vulnerable time for alphas since they dont have a lot of control over themselves. izuku knows this and respect katsuki enough to give him a choice if he want to share his rut w izuku
Abruptly, Katsuki grips his chin and yanks it toward him. Red on green.
A tense silence passes between them then Izuku smiles in realization. He removes Katsuki's hand from his person and hold it in his lap, thumb tenderly stroking his knuckles. "Oh, was I ignoring you? Sorry."
katsuki hunger for izuku's attention but it heightens even more so during his rut that it almost anxiety inducing... luckily izuku's eyes are always on him anyway and he treats it like hes humoring an overgrown puppy in a way, giving katsuki extra care
"We thought we wouldn't get to see you for another three days," Ochako teases. "Does Bakugou know you left the nest?"
Izuku smiles sheepishly, picking up his cup and tries not to look behind them, where Katsuki is five tables down and tucked in a corner watching them from afar.
alphas during their rut can be clingy but katsuki isnt completely blinded by his instinct; he's not keeping izuku hostage at all :P but that doesnt mean he feels comfortable letting izuku out of his sight so izuku just let him hover from a distance lol
As Izuku bends down to pick up the shattered glass on the floor Katsuki catches his waist and hauls him over his shoulder.
"Kacchan!" he yelps. "Put me down!"
Katsuki smacks his butt pointedly and that shuts him up completely. Izuku hides his face in his hands and surrenders.
katsuki always been a lil crazy about izuku but rut period makes him even more crazy and protective of izuku and mind you izuku is a grown ass man and a part time hero, he can put a stop to katsuki IF he wants to... so hes exactly where he wants to be lol
"Thanks," Izuku says, unbuckling his seat belt.
Katsuki stares.
Bashfully, he bares his throat. Katsuki leans over and presses his nose against his skin, nuzzling into the warmth.
"I'll pick you up at 5," he murmurs, pulling away casually like he hasn't leave Izuku undone.
rut addled alpha are prone to territorial, the closer to their rut worst they get but how they respond to it varies. katsuki is v v touchy and wants to scentmark izuku till he is completely stink of him which is fine if izuku isnt really weak for it lol
'GEMG's Agency,' the sign announces in bold, broad strokes across the facade of an imposing building. This is Katsuki's legacy.
It should make Izuku happy to know Katsuki has grown and flourished without him. And he is happy, but the tightness in his chest sits uncomfortably.
izuku feels envious seeing katsuki's success bc while he was frozen in time he should have been sharing katsuki's triumphs, should have been there for him, but he didnt just lose time, he lost the chance to build a future w/ the boy, now a man, he loves
"Bakugou's office is close by," Ochako says casually. "Do you want to say hi?"
Izuku stops. "It's fine." He smiles, it feels awkwardly placed. "He's busy. I don't want to bother him at work." "
“Like he wouldn't make time for you." She gives him a look. "What are you afraid of?"
just like how katsuki and friends are getting used to a 19yrs old!izuku again, izuku is trying to adapt to a world that has long moved on w/o him. 10yrs is a long time to see how your friends and bf has grown up and thrived (his view!!) in your absence.
Izuku finds him in the children section, starring at a baby pjs with a fixated expression on his face.
"Oh." He blushes. "You said we're still young now but maybe we can try in the future—"
"I was wrong." Katsuki grunts, grabbing his hand. "Let's go home and work on it now."
bkdk wants kids but they're frankly aware that neither of them are ready for it so during their rut/heat both of them get baby obsessed and tho they take precaution to prevent any pregnancy but for a moment they can dream that katsuki knock izuku up fr
The impact knocks him breathless, but Izuku feels nothing at all even with the pressure of 4 ton truck pressing down on him.
As his vision dims he thinks of his mom and 1k star stones that he'd saved for his fav game character's anniversary banner.
Sorry Lord Bakugou Katsuki.
isekai au; izuku is reborn into a game and meets his ult bias, the hardest capture game, who will lead the world into ruin unless the heroine save him; izuku wants to keep katsuki away from the death flags but katsuki just thinks theres something v wrong in the head w izuku.

Katsuki drags Izuku into the Bakugou's treasure room. He gestures to the many magical artifacts in there. "Take one." Pauses. "Take as much as you want with you and leave."
Izuku shakes his head. "I don't want anything." He clings to Katsuki's arm. "Please don't make me chose."
even tho katsuki's generous gesture of giving izuku, A HUMAN, free rein to his family's most valuable treasures but izuku sees that as an act of total betrayal and abandonment bc katsuki is kicking him out of the only home he has ever known
bkdk au where katsuki is a burnt out superstar spiraling out of control and izuku his v good at managing disaster & when ppl are the worst, he's at his BEST so he's tasked to help katsuki regain his crown except an hour within meeting each other katsuki already fired him THREE TIMES.
izuku is soft spoken, detail orientated, and weirdly clumsy but sincere. he's the opposite of a corporate shill trying to squeeze whatever money is left out of katsuki's fame and fortune. he actually cares and wants the best for katsuki and KATSUKI CANT EVEN BULLY HIM TO QUIT. katsuki grew up in the limelight. both his parents are famous designers so he used to be a child model, then a child star, and then A SUPERSTAR and his face was plastered everywhere. he been in the spotlight all his life and it’s searing.
katsuki's vice isn't drinking or smoking etc bc he's not fucking stupid enough to touch that shit but it's his volatile temper and his inability to work under and with ppl. he's his worst critic bc he holds himself to ridiculous high standards and expect everyone to be the same. he would set filming back for hours, DAYS even, just for retakes but he's unhappy with his performance or his partner. he'll fight with the director and coworkers bc their vision doesnt align so ppl start accusing him of making it a toxic work environment, his violent tantrums, and how he's impossible to WORK with and how he mistreats his coworkers and the other staff members. someone even leaked to the gossip rags that katsuki threw an equipment at a staff once in anger.
which led to a floodgate of BAKUGOU KATSUKI'S STORIES how he is so difficult to work with, how toxic he is, and how nobody want to work with him even after the story about him throwing stuff at a staff was proven false but damaged to his reputation was done. he was ostracized.
katsuki just brushed it off that he doesnt care even though acting is all he ever wanted and even though many the stories were lies, HE WAS AN ASSHOLE and difficult and hold ppl to ridiculous high standards and loses his temper so easily so yea he fell in to a rut until izuku who is v v v good at being his best when ppl are at the worst which means he's great at cleaning up messes and somehow amidst the thunderous and violent storm of that katsuki rages, izuku always find his peace and can juggle katsuki's anger and his anal perfectionism with ease.
katsuki has anger issues and even though he's going to therapy for it, he has a hard time controlling his outburst and that's scary for most ppl bc they think he's capable of much violence from what they heard even though there's never been a proven story that he ever HIT anyone. izuku is mild-manner and v sweet. he's polite to everyone he interacts with and is very kind to the employees but he's also reckless to the point of stupid sometimes that he has no qualm snapping back at katsuki bc he knows in his heart that katsuki's bark is worse than his bite.
izuku has watched katsuki's grow up on screen & news. he seen all his movies & dramas. bought all his magazine covers. he knows a star when he sees one. katsuki was made for the screen, to be up the among the stars, shinning brighter than everyone but he got to fix himself first. even though katsuki has all the talent and skill but it doesnt mean he can get away with treating ppl like shit and his loner only-i-can-do-it is not helping him gaining any friends and allies in the industry. being talented is no excuse for being a piece of shit to others.
izuku admires katsuki deeply and sees so much potential in him but katsuki has to turn his attitude around first and out of katsuki's own volition. izuku can encourage him but he cant force him to change for the better. this is something katsuki has to realize on his own. izuku didn't single-handedly make katsuki a better person, he's the initial kickstart that made it possible but all the effort is on katsuki he wants to do better, to be better. to fixed all his broken relationships and repair his mistakes bc he wants to prove everyone wrong. but more importantly he wants to go be good to prove it to himself that he's worthy to stand at the top and be the person who is worthy of izuku's love and admiration all the while the world hyper scrutinizing his every move and ready to tear him him apart if he make one slip up.
like katsuki doesnt being an ASSHOLE lol he's still brisk and blunt with ppl but when he feels like he's going to lose it, he takes a step back, breathes and immediately look for izuku. izuku will smile encouragingly at him and suddenly all the loud noises in his head quiet down.
izuku becomes his emotional crutch. he always there on every set of every commercials shoots, TV, and films. it becomes known that you cant hire katsuki w/o izuku there watching over him. they call izuku his tamer/wrangler as thought katsuki is a wild animal and izuku hates it. bc he knows katsuki is trying his best & he has his mood and temper but he making a lot of effort to not fall back into the horrible person he was once so yea, izuku isn't TAMING katsuki one bit but ppl like that narrative better then the thought of katsuki being a change person.
it's not like katsuki less of an asshole tho. he still fight w ppl and say asshole things like firing izuku five times this month bc they couldnt agree on his schedule and bc izuku refused to give katsuki a key to his apartment even though izuku has his phone AND key to his house. izuku can freely go in/out of katsuki's house and izuku has access his phone bc they have nothing to hide. izuku go wherever katsuki go and when they answer someone request it's always "we do this" or "we'll think about it" bc they're one unit and are married w/o marriage part.
it's kinda codependent how much their life are intertwined with each other that katsuki cant work w/o izuku there and izuku spend literally every part of his day with katsuki no day off; no vacation; no life outside of katsuki. their name and life are so bound, it's... unhealthy. even when katsuki is one his way to the pinnacle of his career again and he's the new comeback king, izuku feels uneasy bc he feels like he's holding katsuki back bc bc ppl are like YOU CHANGED HIM, YOU MADE HIM BETTER, YOU DID THIS, oh what would bakugou be w/o you there to help, completely dismissing katsuki's efforts bc izuku can schedule all the appts he want w katsuki's therapist and try to get him there but it's katsuki who has to actually SHOW UP and actually work with the therapist to improve his temper and behavior and try to be the better person.
he also realizes that katsuki relies on him too much that as his emotional crutch and that izuku felt good to be needed like that, that izuku has issues to work on that his sense of self worth is tied up in how much he can do for katsuki and how much katsuki needs him. this is why izuku likes this kind of manager job bc in the midst of all this chaos, izuku can find his calm and feels a sense of value to himself when he can solve and fix things for others. that he's only good when he can do something FOR THEM not bc he himself is worthy.
so when during at the height of katsuki's career, izuku packed up and completely disapepar one day, while leaving katsuki with a new manager, new and very good jobs opportunities with the best director and scripts, and planed out literally a year of schedule ahead for katsuki. izuku go on his long waited vacation that he rightfully deserved after working for katsuki W NO DAY OFF for literally almost 3yrs. he traveled the world, sight sees, learn about new cultures and himself and rediscover the person he can and is without the attachment of Katsuki. while katsuki ages bc izuku is gone and it was fucking rough for him that first month w/o katsuki and it's like he fell back to dark time where his emotions cant be contain and he lashes out but with the help of his friends and family, katsuki slowly gets a grip of himself. w pure spite like he's trying to prove something to the world that he CAN LIVE W/O IZUKU, he can be this better version of himself w/o izuku handholding him and HE CAN!!! his career shoots off and he's improving and doing so much better and ppl stop bringing izuku up around him.
katsuki is thriving and living his life w/o izuku there. his career is doing amazing and his reputation is nearly salvagable now but even when he's doing perfectly w/o izuku and prove to everyone and himself that DOESN'T NEED IZUKU, he realizes that he WANTS IZUKU rather. he doesn't need izuku to fix him, to make him better, but he want izuku as a part of his life bc he loves izuku and wants him there in every space that he occupied. he wants izuku deeply and profoundly in a way that all the fame, trophies, awards, and money can't ever give him.
so instead of searching for izuku and force him to come back to him, he make izuku COME TO HIM out of his own free will by making a movie w izuku's favorite director and picking izuku's favorite script and making a fucking film dedicated TO IZUKU that only izuku can see. he finds a way to get the movie premier ticket to izuku's hand and izuku stares at the invitation and doesnt know if he should or how to answer it. like all these past months w/o him there, he saw katsuki's career took off and how he able to stand on his own two feet w/o izuku. he doesnt need izuku anymore. maybe he never needed izuku in the first place and it's heartbreaking bc it like katsuki is moving on w/o him but here is this invitation and it's calling him to come back. he doesnt know if he should but izuku always put his job first, others first.
so maybe it's time to be a little selfish and get what he wants because through traveling the world, izuku finds there's so much to see and experience but everytime he turn around and want to point out something amazing, he calls out katsuki name and realizes he's not there. izuku is content with himself but he NOT HAPPY bc katsuki isn't there with him bc being with katsuki makes him stupidly and ridiculously happy even though when it wasnt healthy that time, he misses katsuki so deeply it hurts. he wants katsuki to be there with him to exp life. so even when he knows katsuki is better off w/o him, izuku decides to be selfish once in his life and takes that invitation and go see katsuki in his new movie except when he arrives at the theater; there's nobody else but him. it's like this place is rented out just for him.
he watches the movie; it a short film that he and katsuki had seen a hundred times bc it's by their favorite actor turned director toshinori yagi. katsuki is monologuing izuku's favorite scene from the movie and it always make him teary and katuski made fun of him for it lol. but now katsuki is acting out his favorite scene and izuku IS CRYING AGAIN but nobody is there to tease him. he's WEEPING EVEN HARDER bc katsuki on screen is so, so fucking good delivering the lines like a fucking punch in the heart and-and he cant believe he stupidly walk AWAY.
"i-i miss you so much, kacchan," izuku mumbles to the screen and suddenly a familiar voice enters his ear.
"say that to my fucking face, stupid," katsuki says, appearing out of the darkness and nearly scaring izuku to shit but omfg izuku being honest with himself FOR ONCE.
katsuki is like be selfish with me, tell me what you want and izuku weeps and chokes up as he confess i want you. KATSUKI breathes a sigh of relieve bc fuck he wants this more badly than he wants anything else in the world and now they're FINALLY agreeing on something.
"i want you to work for me," katsuki says because he's an asshole and just as izuku about to shoot him a glare bc he's NOT WORKING for katsuki. they're not going down that road again. "as my boyfriend, dumbass," he scolds him bc he's also a dumbass who is bad w/ words lmao
izuku hiccups and smiles through tears. "what would you pay me with then?"
"my body," he grumbles and izuku goes red bc they're dumb and in love and now izuku can be katsuki's bf w/o worrying about unhealthy work dynamic that comes with their deep attachment to each other.
it started with izuku being katsuki's emotional crutch and his sense of self worth being tied to how much katsuki's need him, and them realizing it's FUCKING unhealthy so they separate, grow independent and realizing they're ok w/o each other but are more HAPPY TOGETHER.
