Highly Recommended

  • Bandages and Bravado by Demyrie: All Might – Toshinori – fakes it. All the time, every time, because he has to. Aizawa thinks lying and liars are the most exhausting things in life, so of course he didn't expect to fall in love, but here they are. (Series, 168k, Incomplete, Explicit)
  • Lights Entirely Extinguished: In which Aizawa and Yagi disagree about a lot of things, and yet keep finding themselves together. Being a hero means different things for different people. Not being a hero anymore means nothing; it is unimaginable. It's also unavoidable, so at some point they're going to have to figure out how to talk about that. First, though, they have to figure out how to talk to each other. (Story starts pre-canon and continues through current manga chapters.) (77k, Incomplete, Mature)
  • Newsflash: All Might and Eraserhead Team Up! by Demyrie: Five times the #1 headliner All Might and underground scrub Eraserhead teamed up, and one time they didn't. Unfortunately, the first time they meet, both heroes are already high on weaponized ecstasy – or Dust, as it's known on the street. Let the good times roll. (64k, Incomplete, Explicit)
  • Behind Every Great Teacher: All Might and Eraserhead have very different backgrounds and philosophies when it comes to teaching the heroes of tomorrow. But can they learn from each other and become better teachers together? Here's a behind-the-scenes elaboration on how these peers grow to be fast friends and take care of each other in more ways than one, the better to take care of their students. (47k, Incomplete, Explicit)
  • Transformations: When Aizawa moves into a new apartment a few months before the start of his teaching career at U.A., he finds he's now neighbour to All Might's private secretary. Though he has little love lost for his boisterous boss, Aizawa is quite drawn to the meek man he lives next to. Of course, there are a few things he doesn't know about Toshinori Yagi. (32k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Sunflowers and Dandelions: “Could you move aside for a moment?” // Toshinori startles and almost jumps out of his skin as he whips around to look at the person addressing him. // The man standing behind him is not exactly the type of person Toshinori had expected to find working in a flower shop. His hair falls down to his shoulders in dark, unruly tangles and his chin is speckled with scruffy stubble of the same color. He’s wearing a dark green apron and is carrying a small, potted Japanese maple, though, so he’s probably a shop employee. (28k, Complete, Teen)
  • Twisting Fate: After his last act as a hero, All Might is forced into retirement. Unable to fight. Unable to protect anyone. How does one continue to carry certain burdens when they no longer have the strength to do so anymore? Can the man who's always had criticizing opinions about the No. 1 hero show him that it's okay to ask for help? (26k, Incomplete, Explicit)
  • Papercuts by Prodigal_Sunlight: After a particularly nasty villain attack, Aizawa finds that he has the misfortune of spending a week with All Might doing paperwork. Or maybe not. As much as he's dreading the meeting, he finds himself taken with the gentle secretary, Yagi Toshinori. It's clear Yagi is suffering under the weight of painful secrets, and Aizawa isn't used to opening himself up to others. Time to tell the truth is limited. But with heroes, isn't that always the case? Secret Identity. (20k, Incomplete, Teen)
  • Childish Tendencies by st_jimmy_987: When Shouta wakes up to find Toshinori four years old, he ends up being the best choice to watch over him until the Quirk runs its course. // Unfortunately, Mini Might doesn’t seem to like Shouta much. [12k, Incomplete, Gen)
  • Soft Petals; Sharp Thorns: Hanahaki: flowers that bloom in one's lungs when they suffer from unrequited love. Some say it emerged as a side effect of quirks; others, a curse for humanity striving for the power of gods. These are the stories of those who suffered and lived- and those who suffered, and lost. (Series, 10k, Complete, Teen)
  • I Sing The Body Electric (Especially When My Power’s Out): Body swapping isn't as uncommon as it used to be in this world of amazing Quirks. Doesn't make it any less of a hassle though. (10k, Complete, Gen)
  • Stay: Yagi Toshinori is stirred into wakefulness as he feels the bed shift ever so slightly. Carefully, he peels his eyes open to find that Aizawa has already dragged himself out of bed and is gathering his clothes up off the floor. For a moment, Toshinori considers asking Aizawa to stay for breakfast, but he cuts off that train of thought quickly, because Aizawa... Aizawa never wakes him or asks to stay. (4k, Complete, Explicit)

Recommended

  • Falling With Style: This is a wingfic!au, which is an AU in which most people have both Quirks and Wings. Toshinori Yagi, however, has neither. (Series, 29k, Incomplete, Explicit)
  • Mind the Gap: It’s impossible not to learn to tolerate All Might when you spend a few hours a day trapped in a metal tube with him. (24k, Complete, Teen)
  • No Limits: A blunder in an interview leaves the media under the assumption that All Might is dating fellow teacher Aizawa Shouta – an assumption Principal Nezu encourages them not to correct when it becomes clear how positive the public's reaction is. All they have to do is get through two or three months of pretending they're an item, and then they can break it off without causing as much damage as denying any relationship would. Simple, right? (23k, Incomplete, Teen)
  • Cat Got Your Tongue: When you go from “I don’t want you here” to “stay”, you need your time and silence to figure out what’s changed inside your head. But what if what Aizawa wants to do this time isn’t to keep quiet? (20k, Complete, Teen)
  • go farther and farther: Yagi Toshinori is a bigger romantic than he anticipated. Class 1-A enjoys meddling far too much for their own good. Aizawa Shouta is having Emotions. (20k, Complete, Teen)
  • Foundation: Even if it's not the best beginning to their working relationship, it's still a start. (20k, Complete, Teen)
  • A Game of Chance: In which Aizawa tries to grade essays with both his hands in casts, Yagi tries to be #husbandgoals and Midnight and Mic do something about Yagi's fashion choices. (18k, Complete, Teen)
  • Bathe Your Emotions: After the drama of Bakugou's kidnapping and All Might's retirement, class 1-A is off to an onsen for an all-expense paid trip from the school with their two teachers, Aizawa and Toshinori. Aizawa is... not exactly happy about it. How exactly is he supposed to relax, when he's stuck with the man he's been horribly and ridiculously lost on for half a year? (17k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Two Truths and a Lie: Aizawa Shōta has never really been a fan of class trips. (Or: in which Aizawa and All Might chaperone a UA camping trip and fall in love along the way.) (16k, Complete, Teen)
  • Pressed Flowers: Aizawa has just started teaching at UA, but his first year is going to be a rocky one. Luckily, there's a nice bookstore on his walk to school that sells some excellent coffee. (15k, Complete, Teen)
  • Seven Sided Dice: There are many facets to love, loving, falling in love. Here's seven of them. (15k, Complete, Gen)
  • If The World Should Knock Us Down: The media are like vultures with a fresh kill when they catch wind of a juicy story. -- Or when an unfounded article is written about the nature of Toshinori's relationship with Aizawa, he finds himself suddenly being asked to play the role he's been given: being head over heels in love with the other man. The only problem is that there's a lot more truth in the lie than he's willing to admit, and this game of pretend may or may not kill him. (12k, Complete, Mature)
  • Push and Pull: The man who carried the world on his shoulders, and the fool who fell for him. (8k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Cold and Care: Sick fic, then finally a get-together fic. (Series, 7k, Incomplete, Teen)
  • but not to pry: There is a shade of something in Aizawa’s eyes as he looks up, meeting Toshinori’s gaze. It takes him a moment to recognise it as the glint of a secret, indecipherable. (7k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Latching On To You: They've been dancing around each other for months now, one stepping closer only for the other to step back. But instead of stepping back like so many times before, this time Toshinori steps forward and meets Shōta halfway. (7k, Complete, Explicit)
  • The Heart Remembers: Aizawa Shouta isn’t sure how, he isn’t sure why, and he isn’t sure when, but as he wakes up in the hospital missing three years of his life and the most beautiful blond stranger, a stranger who Shouta is fairly certain he’s dating, standing over him Shouta is sure of one thing: This is all Hizashi’s fault. (7k, Complete, Gen)
  • Cocky About Nothing: “Yagi Toshinori is a man stuffed with his own importance,” Shouta went on. “He is a disease of cocksureness, and everyone in Japan seems to have caught him.” // “Aizawa, are you talking about my cock again?” A deep voice boomed from the office doorway and rattled Shouta’s bones. // Shouta turned to glare at the intruder. // Yagi beamed down at him from his unforgivable height. He folded impossibly muscled arms across a barrel chest. “What will the students think?” Shouta could swear light sparkled off his white teeth. (6k, Complete, Teen)
  • like the candle singes the moth: They fuck, and it is excellent. Of course it is, Shouta thinks bitterly in the dark of night, when he's jerking off for the second time, unable to rid himself of the image of All Might coming above him - of course it's great, it's fucking All Might. He's fucking All Might. Or; he has fucked All Might. It's not going to happen again. (6k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Calculated Risk: For all that he’s the public’s most beloved celebrity, All Might is an intensely private person. Although it’s not unusual for pro heroes to keep their real names a secret from the public, no matter how many people have tried to discern All Might’s true identity, it’s never been publicly released. So it’s reasonable that Shōta wouldn’t know that All Might is his soulmate, that All Might’s true name is written on his wrist, but All Might – Yagi Toshinori – has no such excuse. (5k, Complete, Teen)
  • No Pain, No Gain: Shouta loves quiet mornings in the gym. Although less than amused when Yagi joins him one day, he becomes more and more attracted to him ... (5k, Complete, Teen)
  • Death of a Bachelor: Five proposals that go hilariously wrong plus one that goes wonderfully right. (5k, Complete, Gen)
  • Barrel: Yagi hates this deflated body. Aizawa adores it. (5k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Side-By-Side: Aizawa’s POV of Together. Shouta wants to offer Yagi comfort and companionship, but the other man doesn't let people in easily. (5k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Together: Toshinori POV of Side-by-Side. After so long alone, Toshinori doesn't expect an offer of comfort and companionship. (4k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Old and Worn (Simple and Honest): The first time Toshinori came home late and found Aizawa in one of his old button-down shirts and little else, he nearly dropped his messenger bag in the doorway. (In which Toshinori doesn’t know how relationships work, and Aizawa is a poor one to explain it to him, but they manage with a little honesty and a lot of heart and maybe some bitemarks) (4k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Home: Toshinori is up. Aizawa can see the distorted outline of his long legs and the particular honeyed glow of his favorite reading light, warm and orange and catching the raindrops on the glass like little seeds of color. The retired hero really should draw the curtains this late at night, but Aizawa doesn't mind the beacon, either. Especially not with how the night had gone (wet, cold and entirely too long) and what he was coming back to. (4k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Perfect As You Are: Everyone needs a little confidence boost, even, and perhaps especially, the former #1 Hero. After some liquid courage, Aizawa just might be able to provide it. (4k, Complete, Explicit)
  • one step at a time: The change is rather gradual—he doesn’t notice it until it hits him like a bus. Sitting together on subway rides home back from work, fleeting glances, the occasional shared lunches, small talks in the break room. Aizawa has never been a hopeless romantic, but he will say his crush is rather hopeless, and annoyingly distracting at that. (4k, Complete, Teen)
  • Necessary Distraction: Aizawa has his own method of distracting Toshinori from his loneliness and worry, and yes, the staff lounge on a late Friday afternoon is as good a place as any. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Helping Hands: Aizawa turns up at Toshinori's doorstep one morning, in need of shelter and a helping hand. Toshinori gladly gives it to him. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • a physical fatality: let you leave." // "You can't stop me," All Might says, and turns to leave. // Watch me, Aizawa thinks, and flicks his wrist toward him. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • spring into summer: The year soldiers on, and as the nights out become nights in, Toshinori unravels as his bandages do, raw and unhurried.(3k, Complete, Teen)
  • Tender Hearts: Toshinori has desires like anybody else; Shouta wants to provide for him. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Too Little, Too Late: What happens between All Might and him is only stress relief, Aizawa tells himself again and again. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Green Light: It’s not the first time Toshinori has been tied up. Or, Aizawa has Toshinori at his mercy and takes him entirely apart. (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Crumbling: His heart starts beating in the burning staccato that tells him he’s spoiling for a fight or a good fuck; that he’s going to get it too and damn the consequences. All of a sudden, Aizawa wants to see those summer sky eyes turn glacial. He wants the man with his back to him to consume him alive. He catches the set of Yagi’s shoulders as they level and almost misses his voice, a harsh glint of sun on wire pulled taut. “Is this- are we- just a game to you?” (3k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Waking: It's a simple fact: Toshinori always rouses whenever Shouta comes to bed. No matter how lightly he steps, no matter the effort in minimizing his movements, Toshinori wakes. It's less that the older hero is a light sleeper and more that something in him simply activates and reaches out whenever Shouta is near – which finds him mumbling and blinking and trying to find him if the mattress so much as dips, which always seems to slightly aggravate his bedmate of several months. (2k, Complete, Explicit)
  • Melting: (In which Yagi Toshinori doesn't show up to class one day and a very grumpy teacher is sent to make sure he's still alive. Feelings ensue.) (2k, Complete, Gen)
  • Shelter: “Maybe so,” he agreed. “But I like being taller than you. It makes me feel like rather heroic.”// Flatly, Aizawa said, “So you believe heroes only come in the traditional archetypes of visibly muscled and extremely tall.” // “No, no,” Toshinori said, because that wasn’t what he meant at all. “It’s just…” // Aizawa didn’t say immediately say anything. His silence was simultaneously encouraging and intimidating. (2k, Complete, Teen)
  • Operation: Get Toshinori a Life: Toshinori isn't handling the loss of All Might well. Aizawa watches and seethes. If he can't maintain his usual disinterest, then he'll do what heroes do best: meddle. Toshinori was going to start living, or Aizawa was going to kill him. (2k, Complete, Gen)
  • ghosts at the door: Toshinori finds places where he can be useful and do what he wants, which in this case is checking up on friends after battles and being painfully nice to Aizawa Shouta. Aizawa has backup plans for most things, but not what he doesn't expect and isn't used to-- so people being gentle with him causes something of a short circuit. (2k, Complete, Gen)
  • Reassurance: Everyone needs to feel loved. (2k, Complete, Mature)
  • What We Deserve: Shouta doesn't leave Toshinori alone with his thoughts. (1k, Complete, Teen)
  • honest body, honest night: Toshinori wants to be All Might. Shouta wants Yagi Toshinori. (1k, Complete, Explicit)
  • You Deserve Better: Toshinori knows he’s not good enough for Shouta. (1k, Complete, Teen)
  • Soft: Being that underweight has some unfortunate side effects. (1k, Complete, Mature)
  • What Scars Remember: They told him: you're lucky you survived, be proud of your scars. But he can't look at them and not remember the bitter feeling of regret, of the knowledge that he failed his own destiny, the same way Nana had before him. Shōta sees something different when he sees those scars. (1k, Complete, Teen)
  • A Proposal: A misunderstanding and a few careless words lead to Toshinori admitting to an old dream of his. (1k, Complete, Gen)
  • breaking ice: Something bitter twists and tangles in Aizawa's throat, and he blames the panicked urge to get it out for the fact that the next thing he says is, "I had your poster on my wall." (1k, Complete, Gen)
  • understanding: “I’m quirkless.” // “Okay.” (1k, Complete, Gen)
