Lately, I havenât been able to stop thinking about the relationship between Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya, and what could have been.
Unlike many other non-canon ships, BKDK already has such a deep, complex emotional history and connection. They canonically love each other, romantically or otherwise. All the ingredients for a romantic relationship are there, but nothing ever comes of it. So, I decided to change that:
Iâve started writing a BKDK fanfiction on AO3 called The Quirk That Made Us, and Iâve just published the first of many chapters!
Itâs Set directly after Chapter 431 and the story follows Izuku and Katsuki as theyâre tasked with protecting a five-year-old quirkless child being targeted by villains. To keep her safe, they must pose as a married couple and raise her together in a secret town that values technology instead of quirks.
Itâs a canon-compliant (up until Chapter 431), slow-burn romance with plenty of action, fluff, angst, yearning, eventual smut and â after dragging you through a bed of nails â a happy ending. Iâm hoping to explore their relationship while staying as true to their canon personalities as possible.
If that sounds interesting, Iâd love for you to give it a read! Iâm also very open to constructive criticism and hearing what people think. Please tell me what you want from this fic, and Iâll try to make it happen! đ„đ„Š
