    Summary

    "It's just free money.

    That was his explanation. Now, Izuku Midoriya watched in shock as his name was read aloud on national television, declaring him part of the Selection. Next to him, his mother Inko burst into confused yelling.

    “IZUKU?! What did you DO?! You didn't actually APPLY for cash did you?! We talked about this!” she lectured, shaking Izuku by the shoulders."

    Izuku Midoriya (accidentally?) gets chosen for the Selection, a nation-wide competition for thirty contestants to have a chance at winning the heart of the heir to Illéa's throne, Prince Katsuki Bakugou.

    It's the adventure of a lifetime.

    Summary

    “You know what you are, don’t you?” Inko snapped. “You’re the leech that drained me dry. You shouldn’t’ve been born. You can’t be anything in this world without a quirk.”
    Izuku looked down at his shaking, bloody hands. 
    It wasn’t fair. 
    This wasn’t fair.
    NONE OF THIS WAS FAIR!

    Summary

    “I swear to God, Kacchan, if I trip over your boots one more time, I’m setting them on fire! Explain that to your agency’s support department!”
    “They were on the damn rack by the door, why the fuck are you tripping on them?!”
    “Because you left them hanging off the stupid rack, like always!” Izuku huffed, the bedroom door slamming behind him as he left.
    Katsuki pinched the bridge of his nose and growled to himself quietly.

    OR: Katsuki and Izuku are True Mates, but they've been mates since they bit each other as children, having no idea that it would do anything, forcing them to grow up almost joined at the hip. Their relationship has been rocky ever since, buuuut maybe on Katsuki’s 26th birthday, they can finally figure out how to change for the better.

    Summary

    No good news could come out of this many medical advisors being present…and eerily silent.
    “Tah, Tah.” Izuku waved his hand to get the physicians to move out of his way. “If all you have is bad news, you can leave. I know my father is dying. I don’t need to hear it agai-”
    “Your Majesty.”
    Izuku stopped dead in his tracks when one of the physicians cut him off. He should have stopped because it’s crass to cut him off, but instead, he stopped because the man had used the King’s title for Izuku. A title that would only be offered him if he were King himself - which happened automatically once-

    OR: Izuku is crowned King following his father's death. He must fulfill his duty and take a Queen, see to his kingdom's prosperity, and fight off constant threats on his and his family's lives, with the help of his loyal subjects. Oh, he also has a harem to appease in between.

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugo wasn't expecting his friends to send him a 'Cuddle Buddy' for his birthday, but quite despite himself, he suprisingly liked the service when the man who knocked on his door was cute, freckly, and good at his job.

    After he ended up calling this 'Deku' guy back for more cuddling services, he found himself hoping that at least some of Izuku's kind words and gestures were real.

    He also hoped that the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about the cute freckled man wouldn't become a problem.

     

    AKA

     

    Katsuki is a firefighter in desperate need of cuddling and Izuku is a grad student who works for a cuddling service for some extra cash. Feelings ensue.
