#fic fave

Please please go read this fic. It's just so beautifully written and the author captures the aroace experience so perfectly that I just want to put it out here for anyone who might want to read aroace Raph. The character dynamics and dialogue are so well done, and the writing flows so naturally and organically that it's really worth your while.

This is a LONG overdue, but well-deserved fic rec. I’ve also come to realize that my favorite authors tend to be ones who can make me cry, so you know, warning! I’m such a sucker for a Bakugou and Uraraka rematch and fighting being the catalyst for FEELINGS, so I was hooked in right away. But GUYS! @karmahope has such a wonderfully vivid writing style. Conversation flows naturally, she weaves inner thoughts and dialogue together so well, I feel what the characters are feeling on an almost visceral level. There’s so much angst written so beautifully! I may be personally in love with the way she’s written Bakugou. He’s more mature and I enjoy the self-reflection he does all the time. He’s aware of what he’s feeling, but consciously makes the decision to push things aside if he’s not ready to process or think about them yet. He’s so in love and it hurts. I said in one of my comments that I’ve had the exact thought of “how can I even feel this much for one person?” and I feel like there’s a lot to relate to in this AMAZING fic, it’s become one of my favorites!

Summary:

Limerence (n): the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one’s feelings

Bakugou Katsuki has his life figured out. And then he doesn’t.

I’ve been raving about this one in the comments of every chapter, so I figured it was time I officially rec’ed this one! @megwritesfanfiction has given us a GEM of a Kacchako slow burn here. The beginning chapters are full of fun and sass and uncertain feelings. There’s a magical, late-night city adventure that is PERFECT and practically ripped straight out of my college days. I absolutely adore the characterizations of Bakugou and Uraraka, they both feel so spot on! Bakugou has like, a mental list of reasons he enjoys hanging out with Uraraka and I’m just sitting here like “YOU KNOW WHY YOU LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH HER BOIIIII!” And Uraraka so believably has little freak out, “what just happened?” moments that are too cute. We get wonderful snippets of their classmates’ AND TEACHERS’ reactions to what’s happening, and some side pairings that leave you wanting to know more (which she also has started giving us, bless her). Currently one of my fave Kacchako WIPs, hands down, and I want everyone to know!

Rating: Mature Relationships: Bakugou Katsuki/Uraraka Ochako, Midoriya Izuku/Todoroki Shouto, Ashido Mina/Kirishima Eijirou Series: Part 1 of Point of Balance Summary: At the start of his last year at U.A., Bakugo Katsuki slowly realizes he wants more than just the number one hero rank and isn't quite sure how to deal with that. 

“Being a hero,” All Might explained, staring at him seriously. “Will that be enough for you?”

The question had taken the air out of his lungs. “What else is there?”

“Life.” All Might folded his hands in front of him, giving a little shrug. “Family, friends, relatio-”
