    Summary

    Seabright Bay is too small to breathe in, and Izuku Midoriya swore he’d never come back. But his mother is sick, so he does. The town, the ocean, the painful memories and the boy who made it hell all waiting where he left them. Katsuki Bakugou isn’t the golden prodigy anymore, he’s a sun-bleached apology in a surf shop, a storm he never learned to name.

    What started at thirteen with salt, a kiss and a cruelty... never stopped pulling. Years of silence calcified into hate, regret, self-loathing and a want neither of them knows how to survive. Now they keep colliding in doorways and bars, on sandbars and sidewalks, caught between who they were and who they’re terrified to be. Izuku is done drowning. Bakugou is done pretending the tide isn’t his fault.

    This is about the love you survive, the apologies that come too late, and the kind of forgiveness that feels like standing in the break and choosing to stay.

     
    “Because the truth was, loving Bakugou had never been the problem. It was surviving it.”

    “You don’t get to call this unfinished, you hear me? You ended it the second you made me wish I was someone else.”

    Summary

    “Honestly Deku, I really couldn’t care less that you have a girlfriend.”

    Silence fell upon the room as Izuku gave him a look he couldn’t quite decipher, “...What are you trying to say?” Izuku finally questioned after several moments, carefully.

    Shit.

    Katsuki has been pining for years after Izuku. He's softened up a bit, bankrolled a hero suit for the nerd, and gives lectures at UA whenever Izuku requests it. So when what he thought was a dream they shared doesn't pan out like he'd planned, life goes in a direction Katsuki never would've expected.

    A story told over five acts which leans heavily into the pain of three characters, with Katsuki's anguish being the focal-point. The happy ending and eventual comfort to the hurt exists for everyone, no matter how bleak things may seem at times, but this story will be gut-wrenching to read most of the chapters. If you aren't at least a bit of a masochist, this fic is probably not for you. You have been warned.

    Oh, and the title of the fic is in part inspired by the song Scorpio Rising by Soccer Mommy, and also in part by, well, astrology.

    xoxo, enjoy :)

    Summary

    They did it. They managed to defeat All For One. All it took was for Katsuki Bakugo to die and come back to life and for Izuku Midoriya to give up the greatest gift he had ever received.

    They saved the world but how does one move on after everything they have experienced?

    This story explores the everchanging relationship between Katsuki and Izuku as they both learn to heal from their wounds, both physical and mental. It is a story about the ways in which both boys grow by leaning on each other and pushing themselves to be better. And perhaps they find something more than just friendship along the way.

     

    OR: Katsuki and Izuku try to cope with the aftermath of the war and grow closer than they have ever been before. Katsuki makes a conscious effort to better himself and reach out his hand to Izuku. Will Izuku take his hand? And will Katsuki let himself acknowledge his growing feelings for his green-haired childhood friend?

    Summary

    His mom is the first person to know about it. She finds out when Izuku asks ( in a very cute three-year-old way) why can’t he see the red line that connected him to Kacchan in the last picture they've taken. The one where they were about to enter Kindergarten on their first day.

    "Red line?"

     
    "Yeah, Mamma. This," Little Izuku says, raising his pinky finger to show her the thing tied to it.

     

    Izuku has been able to see the red strings of fate since birth. It's no surprise that his is connected to Katsuki.
