• notes : post-canon bkdk fics save... save me post-canon bkdk fics... okay but seriously. i really love these kinds of fics, especially now that bnha is officially over (what!!!). i will always adore katsuki's character development and reading about how he and izuku would be around each other post-war after they almost lost each other because well. i like there to be some happiness after all the pain and bkdk in this one is so soft

• notes : i'm always gonna need my dose of introspection/character study fics on katsuki because he's such an interesting character and if i think about him for too long i feel like my brain is gonna explode. so to avoid that i read these kinds of fics or i write! anyway this one revolves around katsuki and izuku during the latter's vigilante arc so you can imagine how it'll go

• notes : basically bkdk showing off how much they know about each other because, unsurprisingly, being childhood friends makes you very knowledgeable on virtually everything about the other person. this was so entertaining to read bkdk are so silly and dumb and gay

• notes : this is set after s6 ep23, otherwise notoriously known as the bkdk apology scene. it basically explores in depth how the following days go after izuku's return, and i really like how realistic it is. also—this is just a personal thing—i like the way the author writes in katsuki's pov. it's like. you know you're reading from his perspective, if that makes sense... idk it's just a small detail that i personally like because it's cute (lol). also the ending!! was so!!! ough

• notes : listened to "die with a smile" by lady gaga and bruno mars during bkdk's death scene and it was simultaneously the best and worst decision i could've made. don't follow in my footsteps (or do. i know you're a masochist)
