Summary
Katsuki struck. Half a ton of muscle and sinew launched itself down into the water, straight at the river dolphin waiting below. He had one half-second to see the shock on Deku’s face, before Katsuki’s claws sliced down into…nothing.
“Whoa!” Deku exclaimed, already twenty feet away. “That was close, Kacchan! You almost got me that time!”

Or, Katsuki is determined to catch a little river dolphin.

Summary
Finally, they were taken back outside. A series of very nice cars sat on the asphalt, facing what looked like a racetrack and obstacle course. A woman wearing a jumpsuit handed Izuku and Katsuki a set of keys each.
Izuku stared at the keys uncomprehendingly. He didn’t know much about cars. Sure, he could drive one—they all could after going through UA’s extensive vehicle training courses—but everything else he knew, he’d learned from researching…
Izuku whipped around.
“Are you freaking kidding me?!” he shrieked.
Katsuki burst out laughing.

Summary
The man sighed, stepping forward to close the curtains. “The locals are convinced that a mermaid has moved into the reef. Something about new coral structures."
“A mermaid…?” Izuku whispered, still staring. Once found in nearly every body of water, mermaids had grown increasingly rare since the industrial revolution. If a mermaid really had moved to this patch of coastline, then it was no wonder people were celebrating.
Izuku had always wanted to meet a mermaid. He wondered if he'd get to meet this one.

Brand New Rhythm by SamIsNotLegend

Summary
When Izuku had first been told that his newspaper was shipping him out to the countryside to write a fluff piece about a Taiko festival, he’d been rather... unimpressed. Not that the revitalization of a town’s ancient cultural practices wasn’t important, it just wasn’t the usual hard-hitting, front page news he was used to writing.
If Izuku had known that he would be meeting the most gorgeous man alive on this trip, however... He would have groveled at his boss’ feet in thanks for the chance to meet Bakugou Katsuki.

Summary
“...Dynamight,” Izuku breathed, his mouth going dry.
Dynamight sneered up at Izuku, his thick arms working quickly to secure the villain into place. Izuku’s breath hitched when his own cool green eyes met the smoldering red fury of Dynamight’s.
“Deku,” Dynamight returned, his voice rasping and edged—like a rattlesnake, but oh, so much sweeter. It made Izuku want to step closer and test his patience, just to hear the warning in his growl a little more.
It made him want to do things. To Dynamight, but also for him.

Summary
“Fuck!” Katsuki cursed. Izuku was right; they’d lost track of time.
Katsuki squeezed his legs together and braced his hand against his eyes. He could feel the ghost of Izuku’s hands all over his body, but the sensation was rapidly fading as reality set in. He’d been so close! Izuku had been, too, Katsuki was certain, and he cursed the missed opportunity.
God, what he wouldn’t give to be able to have his boyfriend under him again. Even just for a few more minutes.

Summary
The people glittered. From the rings on their fingers to the sheen of their garments, all the way to the crystal-studded masks hiding their faces. Every person in the room sparkled.
Ochako... did not.
Compared to the nobility gathered like bouquets in pretty circles throughout the room, she knew she stood out.
She could hide the calluses on her hands with satin gloves, but she couldn’t hide the way she gripped her glass as if she were ready to use it as a weapon. She could hide the scar that cut across her mouth with lipstick and concealer, but she couldn’t hide the calculating press of her lips. She could hide her broad shoulders and tough body under the pink ribbons on her dress, but she couldn’t hide the way she stood – knees bent and back to the wall.
-
Or, Ochako crashes a masquerade ball hoping to catch a vampire.

Summary
Sun cut across Katsuki’s face.
His body felt heavy, as if he’d swum too deep and the entire weight of the ocean was pushing against his limbs. His mind was sluggish, too. He stared up at the rock shelf above him, and blinked at the sun glinting through kelp leaves without understanding.
He was alone, he thought, and didn’t know why that surprised him. He’d been alone for as long as he could remember...
Katsuki gasped, and then sat upright so fast that his whole body seized in pain.
Izuku!

Summary
Pro Hero Bakugou Katsuki is on his way... to the bottom. His ratings suck, his reputation sucks, and even his agency has it out for him. Katsuki can see rock-bottom coming, but he can do nothing but brace for the inevitable, painful impact.
Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku hit rock bottom months ago. He's pulling himself back to his feet, working shitty jobs with shitty pay and just doing his best to eat most days. At least he's not in debt anymore, though. At least he has a roof over his head.
On Katsuki's way down and on Izuku's way up, they catch each other.
X
Or, after five years apart, Katsuki and Izuku meet again under equally humbling circumstances. Things improve from there.
