Bakugou Wins Everything (Including Kirishima’s Heart) by AbbyStaffyIsGeek ･ One Shot ･ T ･ 11k
Bakusquad, soft Bakugou, arcades, idiots in love
Despite Katsuki never being in an arcade before, he wins literally every game the Bakusquad introduces him to, along with Eijiro’s heart in the process. There’s certain parts in this one that just warm my heart so much.

College AU, slow burn, roommates, attempted rape/non-con

Mitsuki’s POV, sleepovers
Mitsuki slowly comes to a realization, as she watches the Bakusquad and her son hang out in the living room, that Katsuki finally has friends instead of followers. She comes to another realization when she realizes Eijiro seems to be closer to Katsuki than anyone else.

coming out, light angst, happy ending, crying Bakugou

Bakusquad, 5 + 1, such good friends, hurt/comfort
Five times Bakugou is there for his friends, and one time they’re there for him. I’ve reread this one a couple of times and even though I’ve gone through the heartwarming scenes several times, it always just… gets me. A very sweet fic.

hurt/comfort, touch-starved, emotional baggage, hugs!!
After Kamino, Katsuki can’t stop thinking about the hug that Eijiro had given him. This one is a fuckin doozy. Honestly? Probably one of my favorite fics I’ve ever read. Even months after reading it, it’s still fresh in my mind and still has one of the most memorable scenes I’ve ever read. The dialog lines just leave such a prominent pang in your heart, y’know?
Three Taps by freshpi ･ One Shot ･ G ･ 1k
fluff, the classic Bakugo-is-bad-at-feelings tag, such sweet boys
Katsuki keeps tapping Eijiro’s skin with his fingers, pointer, middle, ring, and Eijiro is confused. Such a sweet fic and such good characterization, especially for Katsuki?? *chef’s kiss*
A Dragon’s Hoard by chezka ･ One Shot ･ T ･ 10k
friends to lovers, Dragon!Kirishima, mutual pining
Eijiro gets hit by a quirk that turns him into a dragon and Katsuki finds himself actually missing the real Eijiro and wanting him to revert back faster. A very cute fic that’s heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time.

Mitsuki’s POV, fluff, angst
Mitsuki Bakugou watches her son fall in love with sweet little fashion clown. This one is so cute and the way the author writes our favorite boys is so telling and descriptive.
What You Helped Me Realize by uncaringrose ･ One Shot ･ T ･ 15k
angst with a happy ending, abusive/homophobic parents, friends to lovers
A fic about Katsuki learning to realize his self-worth and slowly falling in love in the process. Absolutely beautiful fic that holds a special place in my heart, and there’s more than a couple of scenes that’ll probably be forever engraved in my mind.
Reshaped by Shadow_sensei ･ One Shot ･ T ･ 6k
friends to lovers, self-conscious Bakugo, gay panic, first kiss, 5 + 1
Five times Bakugou Katsuki made a change in his appearance, and the one time Kirishima Eijirou did something about it. Eijiro is very relatable in this, honestly. A funny fic with some chaotic and sweet parts sprinkled in!

Izuku’s POV, mutual pining, fluff, getting together
Izuku watches, in a disbelieving and horrified sort of fascination, as Kirishima and Bakugou fall in love. This is an absolutely hilarious fic that had me laughing pretty much the whole way through and it’s got such funny but meaningful scenes. The fact that it’s all in Izuku’s POV just makes it so much better.

bakusquad, friendship!!!, soft Bakugo
(I just realized this one doesn’t actually have official Kiribaku in it but it’s still too good to not put it in here and this is my list I do what I want) Katsuki learns about love languages and tries to express his appreciation for his friends. SUCH a sweet, heartwarming fic and it made me tear up! The Bakusquad is very sweet in this one and Katsuki is even sweeter- my heART-
These boys are incomplete!!! But they belong here regardless because they’re good dammit-
Supernova by CitrusVeins ･ Multi-chapter ･ T ･ 39k+ (WIP)
Space AU, angst, hurt/comfort, slow burn
A space AU (!!!) full of mystery and bro bonding and some very intriguing, foggy bits of Katsuki’s past! The characterization in this is so good my dude Citrus writes these boys just right and I’m really loving the mystery aspects of this one.
ganymede dreams by Esherymack ･ Multi-chapter ･ T ･ 26k+ (WIP)
Space AU, everyone’s a scientist, blood, sea monsters
A very sciencey fic with sea monsters and awesome sea creatures and alien diseases and planet exploration and this bitch has an entire reference list in the notes on the plethora of sciencey shit in this thing and even though romance isn’t a huge part of the plot it’s so good man
The Power of Friendship by deviance ･ Multi-chapter ･ T ･ 22k+ (WIP)
light angst, fluff, friendship!!!,
A fic about Katsuki slowly but surely growing and making some new friends. This fic is soooo fuckin sweet and it gives a lot of attention to the lesser-talked-about characters like Hagakure, Koda, Tokoyami, Shouji, all them. There’s a lot of really sweet scenes and watching Katsuki stumble through this… what do you call… f-friendship? is so cute- honestly a little sad but mostly cute.

angst, homophobic parents, fluff, hurt/comfort, soft bakugou
Eijiro is told he isn’t allowed back home for the holidays and Katsuki invites him on a hike and back to his place for Christmas. Katsuki is very sweet in his own way in this one and all he wants is for Eijiro to be happy and it’s just a very sweet fic and I love my boys-
