April 20th is Bakugou Katsuki’s birthday. Bakugou is a character from Boku no Hero Academia that I did not intend to love. A lot of people have a lot of negative things to say about him and his character, but I fell hard and fast for that characterization.
In this post: why I love him, and an art/writing Bingo challenge for his birthday.
Title: Interrobang
Author: Timothy Wren
Fandom: Boku No Hero Academia/BNHA/My Hero Academia
Relationships: Oh boy. Let me see. This is a big polyamory fic.
Established Romantic Relationships: DekuSquad (Midoriya Izuku, Uraraka Ochako, Todoroki Shouto, Asui Tsuyu, Iida Tenya), BakuSquad (Bakugou Katsuki/Kaminari Denki/Ashido Mina/Sero Hanta/Kirishima Eijirou)
Main Focus Pairings (Other Than the Squads): Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku, Bakugou Katsuki/Kirishima Eijirou, Ashido Mina/Midoriya Izuku, Shinsou Hitoshi/Todoroki Shouto, Asui Tsuyu/Uraraka Ochako
Background Established Relationships: Yaoyorozu Momo/Jirou Kyoka, Mezo Shoji/Tokoyami Fumikage, Hagakure Tooru/Ojiro Mashirao and a LOT of intersquad dating/hooking up. Specifically, this fic is about them hosting a really wholesome, sexy birthday party for Iida where 15/20 of the class is involved.
Genre: Anime, Romance
Notes/Warnings: Explicit sex, enthusiastic consent (as a kink), polyamory, quirk kink, pegging, everyone is of age. This fic is a fanfic of thephilosophah’s “Send Nudes, Winky Face” which is a hilariously wholesome polyamorous 80k slice of life fic that I would die for. I like to think this is entirely in-character, lovely, and equally as wholesome. It has them being responsible with consent and hydration and is just overall very sweet. I wrote this as a birthday present for my friend, Art. Mineta does NOT exist. Shinsou is here instead.

Summary:
“The students of 3-A dorm do formally have permission to utilize the second living room for team bonding on the night of Friday, 22nd of August, and to be excused from the night check-in so long as a representative of the class texts a confirmation of accountability to the teacher on duty between 12 and 1am. Signed, the 18+ Hero: Midnight. P.s. Have fun kiddos! And Happy Birthday!”
Or: It’s Tenya’s birthday.
Title: Destiny Cuts the Cake of Love (three slices to some; to others, a crumb)
Author: Timothy Wren
Fandom: Naruto
Relationship: Haruno Sakura/Uzumaki Naruto/Uchiha Sasuke (ot3 Team 7)
Genre: Anime, Time Travel, Romance
Warnings: Underage. They’re teenagers in this. I’m going to be very frank in saying that there are references to Sakura’s initial time travel, where they did some over-the-clothes frottage during Wave era. I headcanon them as a little older than they were in canon in this AU series, but it’s still teenagers fucking teenagers. References to "that one time" aside, they’re all around 16-17 at the time of this fic.

Summary: Sakura came back in time years ago and during those years– between saving the world and various missions– her teammates have been going just a little bit nuts. Naruto and Sasuke were not prepared for a Sakura who can literally move mountains. Luckily for them, "Team" means more than anything, and they find she’s entirely willing to get underneath the underneath of the sheets. In which Team Seven comes together, finally.

Summary: She spins to press her shoulders to his and grins, as bloodthirsty as she wants.
“Two trips in one year? I must really be special, huh?” He teases, and she’s surprised to find he hasn’t changed at all from her last visit.
“I’ve figured out how to do it on purpose,” She admits, fully expecting the distraction to cost him. It doesn’t. He jerks his head to look at her, but even that is planned in the split second it takes him; a fist goes sailing over his head by the scantest of margins.
He doesn’t look concerned at all.
His confidence is thrilling.
