Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Todoroki Enji, Eijiro Kirishima

7. Wildest Dreams (Todoroki x Bakugou) - ???Tristan??? (Tristancosplays)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Todoroki Enji, Eijiro Kirishima
Tristan's 10-part Wildest Dreams isn't his first. He's a massive MHA fan and loves creating ships in this Manga, as seen in his other works, including The Sun Always Rises, Experiments and Life Is Not Fair.
The author takes readers through Todoroki's limbo after meeting Bakugou. His father, a perpetually cranky and abusive man, seemingly restricts their meetings. They only have three days left before his coronation and won't see each other again, which they use quite well for their romantic escapades. This story is one to never miss out on.
6. Drowning (Anorexic Todoroki x Bakugou) - Blitz *@BlitzyWolf)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki,
It seems like Blitz isn't going anywhere away soon. Writing him off this early is hard-he's published 36 works. It's not easy; he's a legend in our books. Drowning is among his rich fanfic collection that portrays Todoroki as anorexic.
Todoroki has been fighting an eating disorder, which led to him becoming emancipated. Luckily, Bakugou stays by his side, supporting him through his struggles and keeping them close enough to form a bond. But his condition worsens, making him increasingly withdrawn and leading to intense emotional confrontations. Blitz narrates a bumpy ride in vivid and evocative language to keep readers engaged all day.
5. You are Mine (Female Todoroki x Bakugou) - Duchess.dani (@AnimeComingQueen)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Female Shoto Todoroki, Momo Yaoyorozu, Izuku Midoriya (Deku)

This 12-part Todoroki x Bakugou fanart highlights Todoroki's desire to confess her feelings for Bakugou, only to be too late. Another girl grabs the bull by its horns ahead of her, leaving Todoroki heartbroken.

4. Just a Bite (V. Todoroki x W. Bakugou) - Nighthalo_Ezra
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Todoroki Enji, Kirishima Eijiro
Like most well-recognized MHA fanfic writers, Nighthalo_Ezra is quite a fan. He's published five works, two of which borrow Manga's storylines. Just A Bite is his comprehensive creation that narrates Bakugou and Todoroki's relationship.
Just A Bite is a tale of Todoroki and Bakugou getting romantically engaged. Although Todo initially acts distant, Bakugou's obsession crumbles his walls and gives in. Their relationship isn't smooth sailing because Todoroki's troubled past and his family's dark secrets get in the way. If you love intense, emotional and often angsty first-person narrations, this story is for you.
3. You'll Be Okay (Abused and Bullied! Todoroki x Bakugou) - Alex (@Alex_needs_username)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Todoroki Fuyumi, Aizawa
It's pretty thoughtful (and creative) of Alex to bring in the less often-talked-about theme, bullying. He vividly takes his readers through Todoroki's abusive past and constant bullying. He also has another MHA work, By My Side, where he narrates the torture Bakugou undergoes after the LOV captures him.
You'll Be Okay is a poignant and thought-provoking story of Todoroki's misery under his father and most of U.A. Between these events, he romantically engages his nemesis, Bakugou, in a romantic relationship. But heed this warning-don't read this story if you dread dark, intense emotional turmoil, as the story is pretty intense.
2. Wait for Your Affection (Bakutodo) - Hollycal75 (@hollycal75)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Shota Aizawa, Eijiro Kirishima
Wait For Your Affection is a 17-part Hollycal75 masterpiece that he themes around persuasion and romance. So, please breathe with relief for not encountering a dark or intense story for a break. This story is about good emotions and a quid-pro-quo situation you can't miss.

Todoroki offers to help but needs a favor done in return-that Bakugou agrees to hug, hold and cuddle him. He hates the idea but has no choice. Eventually, Bakugou realizes this deal's sweetness, hooking him to Todoroki forever. Read this story; you never know how it'll surprise you.
1. Hate (Todobaku) - Dearestcirrus (@Dearestcirrus)
Main Characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki, Izuku Midoriya (Deku), Uraraka Ochako
An epic love triangle is what we all crave, and Dearestcirrus feeds us right off the plate with Hate, a 15-part captivating story. He's already published another work, Quiet In The Library, although it's unrelated to MHA.
In Hate, Todoroki likes Izuku Midoriya, who, in turn, likes Bakugou. Bakugou doesn't reciprocate and doesn't like either of them. But with time, he realizes his feelings tell him otherwise, leading to an entanglement that results in a love triangle.
