Hello I hope I'm not bothering you, but I was wondering which bakushima/kiribaku fanfics your favorite are on AO3 ? You're an amazing writer so I'm curious as to what you would recommend to read and what you think of the fics! :)
anon, you are totally not a bother! i honestly don’t have as many kiribaku fics bookmarked as i thought, but here is a quick list of some of the ones i’ve really enjoyed–
by this point i hope everyone just reads eggstasy’s stuff by default; a heart swelled to bursting is my definitive kiribaku recommendation, but i’ll also put in a plug for like ribbons, which is one of my favorite aus and exactly my kind of emotional fic, and all of their canon verse fic (marketable and downhill, especially) because the class dynamic in those is perfect and they are great pick-me-up fics for a rainy day. but i also recommend everything on their ao3 in general– it’s all good stuff and their characterization is hands down my favorite.
shizuumi151 is another favorite of mine– you looked at me is a no-Quirks college au that i enjoy a lot! the kirishima voice in that fic is amazing and the energy of the story is really great.
crunchwrapsupreme is, again, awesome. one to ten is a great getting together fic and a really sweet depiction of kirishima and bakugou’s evolving relationship. i want you to show me is my exact favorite sort of sex scene that has a lot of good emotions and characterization backing it up.
ragtag by sportsanimeruinedmylife is a great fic to read when you’ve got a lot of time to dive in– it’s an action adventure story that reads like the best superhero comics, with a well thought-out plot and lots of screentime for various characters.
found your fingerprints (all on me) by starsupernova is another au i really enjoy– no-Quirks, future fic with a lot of subtle emotions and good characterization. plus i’m always interested in the scenario of kirishima and bakugou falling away from each other but then finding their way back together, and this fic does an amazing job of depicting that.
oh, and theroyalsavage’s stuff!! particularly detonate and not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. the latter is a great no-Quirks au based on ten things i hate about you (with an awesome kirishima pov), and the former is just, really poetic and poignant and i love it.
and those are the ones that i can think of off the top of my head! i’m sure there’s lots of other great ones out there (and you can feel free to drop me recs at any time), but this would be my starter set for the ship.
