Summary
“Wait, your name is Link?” The newly proclaimed Hero of Legend demands. Link, Hero of the Four Sword, frowns at him.
“Yes?” It isn’t that confusing of a declaration, is it? They did just go over this—they’re all named Link.
“You were a hero? Of the Four Sword?”
Four’s eyes narrow.
“I am a hero, yes. The Hero of the Four Sword. Is there something wrong with that?”
Legend blinks. “What? No, I just—” He stops abruptly. Shakes his head. “Sorry, never mind.”
Or: a chronicling of all the times Legend is weird around Four, and how the Chain finds out why.

Summary
Heavy, wet breathing, and a choked-off voice: “C-come in. Please. Someone, come in. This is Midoriya Izuku. Bakugou Katsuki and I are t-trapped—”
He cuts himself off, just as Katsuki fuzzily realizes his head is pillowed on Izuku’s thigh. His thoughts come in slow like molasses.
Izuku breathes hard. “—Under a building. We’re under the building.”
//
or:
Izuku has had this thing about him that Katsuki has never been able to name, but he's been chasing it since he learned how to run. It takes a catastrophic building collapse during their third year and a severe concussion for him to realize what it is.
Aizawa loses ten years off his life. When does he not.

Summary
Katsuki remembers it, vaguely; they’d gone out for patrol and immediately gotten mobbed by Uwabami’s rabid fans. Some guy asked for a hug. He had most of his face covered, and he wouldn’t let go even though Uwabami kept telling him to stop. Yaoyorozu had seen it and Katsuki had stepped in, yanking him off Uwabami but the guy grabbed him instead and-
“Wait,” he says as his brain catches up with his ears. “What?”
“He tried to attack Uwabami,” says Kestrel patiently. “But you and Bakugou got in the way and-”
“Me and Bakugou?” says Katsuki, digging his ears. “I’m Bakugou.”
(Katsuki and Momo get bodyswapped during their internship. It's terrible. Partly because of the weird new jiggly bits, but mostly because Momo now has to deal with Katsuki's giant, nauseating crush on Izuku Midoriya.
And Katsuki, unfortunately, has to deal with fucking Todoroki.)

Summary
Katsuki frowns. “You think I’m in love with fucking Deku?”
Deku flits to the forefront of his mind. Deku who he apologized to, who forgave him, who became his friend happily and without hesitation. Who told him about One For All, who is unflinchingly brave and stupidly reckless and thinks Katsuki is amazing.
“Shit,” Katsuki says, “I’m in love with fucking Deku.”
----------
Or, katsuki realizes he has hanahaki disease, figures out who it's for, and confesses, all within ten minutes. it's deku's problem, anyway.

Summary
"Fuck you," he hissed. "You're my friend, jackass. I just suck at shit like affection. I'm shit at showing it but I appreciate you."
Both of their eyes widened and they stared at each other with their mouths hanging open. Katsuki had expressed affection and appreciation.
This time it was official. Something was wrong.
-or-
Katsuki gets hit with a quirk that eliminates his brain-to-mouth filter. He sees...an opportunity.

Summary
The apparition of Katsuki's likeness tilts its head at him. There's a hard frown on his face, a fixed stare; his eyes track the motion of Izuku's tears, rolling down his cheeks. It looks like it takes him a moment to realise the person he's looking at is looking back. His gaze swerves, refocuses; his eyes widen.
“You seein’ me?” Katsuki whispers, almost urgently. Excited.
Izuku can't bring himself to speak.
post-war au about grief, trauma, and the haunting presence of a childhood friend
