from the sidelines by suffocatingspring - enemies to friends to lovers, highschool au https://archiveofourown.org/works/321639... it would be a crime to like bakudeku and have never read this story! bakugo and izuku, two ex bffs are paired up for a philosophy project, forcing them to spend an hour a day together & make katsuki a professional pole vaulter. it's one of the best slow-burns i've ever read—you really get immersed in the story. You feel so many emotions while reading it: anxiety, sadness, excitement, happiness, tenderness… It has some smut (Katsuki on top), and the ending is a chef’s kiss. I love this story, and it deserves all the love in the world (don’t read the second chapter if you want to stay happy).

to be alone with you by beotkkot - set in the mid 90s/early 2000s https://archiveofourown.org/works/552822... tae is a boy with autism who has no friends and is deeply devout (catholic), but he falls in love with jimin, a boy who’s a bit rude and mean to him—but it’s clear that he loves him back. the second chapter is a time skip, and i liked it even more than the first chapter! it’s like watching a movie. you really get immersed in taehyung’s character and feel his anguish and pain as if you were him. you can tell the author is very knowledgeable about religious topics. 10000/10 <3
