Summary
“No, I - oh, God.” He buries his face in his hands, and he’ll take muddling his words over looking at Momo’s face in a heartbeat. “I’m asking because - because I’m attracted to him. I’d like a relationship with him, and - and I don’t know if I’d be on a fool’s errand, pursuing someone who doesn’t want that.”
There’s silence. Izuku counts ten, then twenty beats before he lifts his head, and sees Momo staring at him with a stricken expression, all the colour drained from her face. “What?” he says at once, alarmed. “What’s so - did I say something wrong?”
He watches the movement of Momo’s throat as she swallows, gathers herself, and shakes her head. “No,” she manages, and Izuku is taken aback by just how sorrowful one single word is. “You didn’t. It’s just… Izuku, Shouto’s been in love with you since we were fifteen years old.”
Twenty-seven year old Midoriya Izuku is determined to make up for lost time when it comes to pursuing Todoroki Shouto, despite the universe's best attempts to put him through it.

Summary
Bakugou would take working in a funeral home over working in a sex shop any day of the week, but at least his roommate seems to be enjoying his new job - and even if he is a complete dumbass, Midoriya's manager just so happens to be the hottest person he's ever seen in his life.
Or, mortician Bakugou Katsuki falls for sex shop manager Kirishima Eijirou.

Summary
Izuku wasn't expecting to find a merman on the beach, or be forced to hide said merman in his bathtub, but life never did seem to make things easy for him.
(At least he's not the worst company in the world, even if he tried to bite Katsuki on their first meeting)

Summary
“You just had to flirt with a guy as weird as you. I mean, it’s not a bad thing: he must really like you after you tried to rearrange your face against the bar.” Shouto narrows his eyes at her, and Momo attempts to look sympathetic. “Sorry, darling. At least he’s cute. Did you see those muscles?"
Shouto Todoroki tries to deal with his estranged father, putting his fractured family back together, and dating the cute paramedic he met at a bar (to varying levels of success).
