OMG!!!

Red's Fic Recs | 7/20/25

This made me so happy to read - Soulmate Trope is def one of my fave fics and has inspired me a lot as I've been writing the Shoto's First Kiss series! I love the narrative voice, the concept, the intensity and the general silliness that ensues! My fave chapters - Aizawa + Shinsou + Izuku (w/ Dabi as the honorable mention!).

I made a list of my faves last year, and it's mostly stayed the same! Some are AUs, some are smutty - I've marked them up below:

Here’s what I’ve regularly been reading and re-reading!

Time’s Arrow by @m0stlygoodvibes - Time Travel AU. Hawks goes on a mission back in time and attempts to set himself + the Todoroki family a better future. This fic is so sweet and healing - watching Hawks grow up without the trauma of the Commission is wonderful, and his x Touya’s friendship/hinted relationship is explored fantastically. I’m constantly checking to see if there have been any updates because it’s THAT good!!! I discovered the story after seeing beachbeibi’s adorable art!

Lost & Found Comic by @beachbeibi - Quirkless Todosib AU. Oh my goodness this comic is AMAZING! The art is so lovely and sweet! The character designs are spot on (Shoto’s little strawberry sweater in later chapters makes my heart squeeze!)! The relationship building between characters is authentic and fun to read/view! I love the way Touya is drawn and how we learn more about his growth journey with every passing comic. And Keigo. Oh my goodness Keigo!! The way the artist draws him is just SO cute! I believe this was recently completed!!

A Cozy Cloud by @gaecactae- Another wonderful comic! An AU where Oboro Shirakumo/Loud Cloud lives to adulthood, has a wonderful partner, is still BFFs with Shota + Hizashi, and adopts Tenko before AFO can get to him. The art is so gentle and thoughtful, and the color palate is just wonderful. Seeing baby Tenko and Hitoshi so well loved makes me so happy - this story is another great tale filled with healing and fabulous visuals. I’m so excited to see more!

Inevitable Things (We Try To Avoid) by @mintmatcha - Shota Aizawa x Reader. 🔞 SMUT alert! 🔞The story is so good and the characters are SO complex! I have re-read all of the published chapters several times at this point because the author winds so many fun, complex details together and it’s fun to go back and see how they plant the seeds for major plot points in the earlier chapters. This is def a bit angsty but SO good. Aizawa is HOT and his character is so brilliantly fleshed out. Plus the tension between the reader and Aizawa is palpable. I’m excited to read more!

Mission Accomplished by glynfrans - Hitoshi Shinsou x Katsuki Bakugo. 🔞SMUT alert!🔞 Holy Woah are these sex scenes HOT!!! Like I’ve always been a Hitoshi fic girlie and I personally have never shipped him with Bakugo but WOWOWOW whenever these two are together in a scene sparks are literally flying! Hitoshi is shady af in the beginning of this fic, but he seeks redemption and I like how the author really builds out the character around these feelings. Also a heavy amount of Monoma x Shinsou which I love. I won’t say anymore because I don’t wanna spoil anything but worth reading!! Edit: Pls pls pls be kind to yourself and read the trigger warnings and author's notes at the beginning of each chapter!! The love scenes (and the Pro Hero work scenes with Hitoshi) are intense and should be approached with caution by certain readers why may find the situations challenging to read.

I’ll Have The Fish by ShipSeekingShippers - Hitoshi x Denki. This is the only completed fic on the list and I have come back to it so many times because it’s cute as all heck! No quriks/college/fry cook AU (!?). This was the first Hitoshi x Denki fic I ever read and it CHANGED ME. Each chapter is more hilarious than the last, and watching the main characters bond and grow is so sweet and wholesome.

Soulmate Trope by dashielldeveron - 🔞 SMUT alert 🔞 This fic literally rewired my brain chemistry!!! Class A is hit by a villain quirk that randomly assigns everyone a soulmate. The class + the reader scramble to figure out their soulmates and chaos ensues as every romance trope you can think of unfolds. The reader is assigned a new (hot) soulmate in each chapter, and it's a fun choose your own adventure type fic with an absolutely breathtaking conclusion. It's so tightly written and funny and as I said above, my fave chapters are Aizawa, Shinsou, Izuku (and a Dabi honorable mention). The author is so kind in the way they handle each characters wants, dreams, faults and pain. I was on the edge of my seat the first time I read this (and every time I re-read it, let's be honest). This is a gold standard fic that heavily influences my work atm!

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice by m0stlygoodvibes - 🔞 SMUT alert 🔞EraserMic AU where Aizawa + Mic have adopted Hitoshi Shinsou + Eri. It's Halloween and the couple finally have a night to themselves as Class A has taken Eri out trick-or-treating. Shota + Hizashi have a romantic night in and try to make a baby. I love Trans Aizawa.

I hope y'all enjoy these as much as I do! And feel free to send me recs or comment on this thread! I'm curious if there are similar fics peeps are reading!

XOXO,
