dimplesum:if these walls could talk SYNOPSIS. “I pledge that I’ll be number one,” says sixteen-year-old Bakugou, his hands in his pockets as he brazenly regards the whole world on camera. Twenty-three-year-old Bakugou Katsuki stares at Kirishima’s phone with a haunted look on his face. His cheeks are hollowed, his lips quivering. There’s something vulnerable about his expression, the video affecting him much, much worse than previous scandals have. You’ve never heard much about his school days in detail, only knowing that he as a first-year student at Yuuei isn’t the Bakugou you’d recognize now. You and everyone in this room knows that he is far from that sixteen-year-old. The rest of the world doesn’t know how much he has changed. They only see this and nothing else. Or: what starts out as one little scandal and tumbles into one after the other until he can’t take it anymore. PAIRING. bakugou katsuki / gn! reader CONTENT + WARNINGS. aged up characters, pro hero! bakugou katsuki, uni student! reader, fluff, fluff, fluff with some angst, lots of allegories if you peek, happy ending, spoilers for bakugou’s hero name WORD COUNT. 11.7K AUTHOR’S NOTE. this was written over the course of one year—admittedly, the longest i’ve ever spent on a one-shot, because this fic is very close to me. i really, really hope that you enjoy this because i put my whole soul into this. it’s my gift from myself to you all. a HUGE thank you to @phasmwrites & @meliorist-midoriya & @cellotonin for looking @ this for me :’)) i love you all so much <33 Keep reading this was such a treat and honor to read over, and i adore how it all came to fruition. the look into how harmful the herd mentality of cancel culture is and how much can be taken out of context to supplement it. the effects on others because of these scandals, the reader and bakugou’s healthy and supportive dynamic, and overall the beautiful flow and storytelling that obviously went into this piece. the scene at the end, in particular, took me out. -- source link
