Worth Being Brave For by s_the_queen
tone: pretty fluffy but not pure cotton candy yknow | wordcount: 12,768
this one's real cute. quirk accident fic where bakugo vents his feelings to all his friends. its very wholesome and sweet. honestly the bakudeku is almost not the main appeal of this one to me (im a sucker for emotional honesty, sue me) but it's much appreciated nonetheless

tone: fluff and angst! best of both worlds | wordcount: 37,164
ive read this fic all the way through like 3 times i loved it that much. idk why but i found this author's prose like insanely gripping. its like a cute little no quirks roadtrip au with hard of hearing bakugo and im in love with it
Rules of Engagement by Fangirl_on_fire
tone: fluff!!! this one's super sweet and funny | wordcount: 4376
this is one of many engagement/proposal fics i hold very dear to my heart. i enjoy the prose and characterisation a lot (it's very bakudeku in a way that's hard to pin down) and it's a fic ive read through several times when i want a cute palate cleanser
these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to bnha fic recs and i wanted to fit more in here but this post is already taking so long to draft im gonna have to throw in the towel. i have so many other fics i love and it hurt my heart to limit myself just to my very favourite bakudeku fics when there are other ships and platonic pairings and character studies i love so dearly. there will probably be more posts like this in my future ill be real
