OMG PLEASE HOGWARTS AU, PLEASE. Can you do it with tdbk and platonic bkdk? (it would be interesting to see where you put them, bc i personally can't decide whether bakugou is a ravenclaw, slytherin or gryffindor. like, he's just SO smart but also ambicious -in the good way- and also brave and loyal so WTF, he can be EVERYWHERE) (deku is definitely a gryffindor imo and todoroki idk... maybe a raven? or sly? hmm) (IF YOU ADD SOMETHING WITH QUIDDITCH I WILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I ALREADY DO)
ohhh yes!!! okay i was hoping for this one huhu, i have a million HP bnha headcanons ╰(✧∇✧╰) and wow um ily too uwu
tdbk: [18] Hogwarts AU
***
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’m doing?” Deku replies without looking up from his smoking mystery potion.
“Being an idiot, like you always fucking are,” Bakugou deadpans. “Are you trying to explode the common room?”
“He’s focusing,” Kaminari replies from his spot across the table. The words don’t mean much considering he’s wearing safety goggles. “Let him work, Bakugou.”
“First of all, shut up. Second of all, who the fuck let you in here, Hufflepuff bastard?”
“That’d be me!” Deku chimes happily, wincing a second later when his potion hisses. “Oh, it’s not supposed to do that.”
“What the hell is it supposed to do?” Bakugou grumbles, taking a seat a safe distance away from the inevitable disaster-in-progress. “Actually, don’t even tell me. I just came to relax before the match—which is what you should be doing instead of playing potions professor.”
“You should be thanking me,” Deku replies. “I’m making this just for you.”
“I don’t even know what it is!”
“Amortentia with a fun little twist. Oof!” Deku jerks his head back when the potion lets out a stream of black smoke. “It’s supposed to be a major improvement, but I guess I really messed it up.”
“And it’s for me?” Bakugou wrinkles his nose at the awful smell—like sugar and burning roses. “Ugh… When did I fucking ask you to make me a love potion, huh?”
Kaminari and Deku both snort, plus several other nearby Gryffindors. “Please,” Kaminari says, “you’re so in love, it’s like there’s a sign on your forehead. If a Flutterby bush was around this century, it’d lure you with the smell of Todoroki Sh—“
“Shut your fucking mouth,” Bakugou hisses, pulling out his wand threateningly. “I swear, Kaminari…”
“Okay, okay: calm down. You know it’s true.”
“Everyone calm down,” Deku says lightly, pushing his potion into the nearest trash bin—ignoring the little mushroom cloud that puffs up around it. “You said we should get ready for the match, right? Kaminari, please go.”
“Geez, you jerks. I’ll go hang out with Shinsou instead.” Kaminari gets up with a dramatic flick of his robes and flips them off on his way out. “Gryffindors are supposed to be nice!”
“Where does it say that, huh? Fucking nowhere!” Bakugou yells before taking the now vacant seat across from Deku with a murderous glare. “Did you fucking tell him?”
“You know I would never do that. Like he said, it’s just really… obvious?” Deku shifts nervously under Bakugou’s glare. “You were clearly pining for him at the Yule Ball, and you even set his date’s hair on fire. I’m pretty sure the only one who doesn’t know you like him is, well, him.”
“That’s bullshit,” Bakugou protests irritably. “I’m not obvious! I treat that bastard worse than anybody.”
“That’s its own type of obvious.” As always, Deku changes the subject before things can get too heated: “Are you ready for the match? It’s against Slytherin, and… you know…”
His attempt to diffuse the situation is pointless because they’ve circled right back to Todoroki. He’s the Seeker for Slytherin, which means Bakugou will be spending most of the rainy afternoon stuck in a quidditch pitch with him. Not that he hasn’t done that before, but the idea is growing more torturous as his stupid feelings persist. Maybe he could use that Amortentia, after all.
But no: ignoring it is the best solution. He’s done it before, and he’ll keep doing it. “Obviously I’m ready. Let’s fucking go.”
***
“Shinsou Hitoshi scores! Ten points for Slytherin!”
“Dammit,” Bakugou swears under his breath, righting his broom after Shinsou’s rough check. They’re already behind, and the game’s barely started. Not for long, if he has anything to say about it.
“Wonderful goal by team captain Bakugou Katsuki, quickly earning back those lost ten points for Gryffindor!”
“Nice one,” Deku praises when Bakugou passes him the quaffle. “I’ll get the next!”
He races off, tailed by two Slytherins, and Bakugou pauses to think of a strategy. He’s gone against the Slytherin team a thousand times and picked apart their weaknesses, but they just overcome them again and again. It’s impossible to—
A green blur shoots past. He’s quicker than a bolt of lightning, but Bakugou sees him as if he’s traveling in slow motion: Todoroki. He keeps his focus on the Snitch, but Bakugou is still shaken by his presence.
“Todoroki Shouto is hot on the Snitch’s tail, and Gryffindor’s Seeker is nowhere in sight! Will the game be won right here, folks?”
Damn that beautiful, shitty bastard… Bakugou can’t stop him from catching the Snitch; he probably can’t even try. All he can do is watch him. Well, actually, he can try to rack up points—he should be trying right now. Even if Todoroki is faster than lightning, Bakugou is more ruthless than thunder.
Fuck, okay, that sounds lame. He’s definitely never saying that out loud. He needs to keep his head in the game.
“Bakugou Katsuki scores another ten points for Gryffindor!”
“Got it!” Deku yells, putting his broom into a tailspin to catch the falling quaffle. “Just keep those guys off my back, Kacchan.”
“Don’t fucking tell me what to do,” Bakugou grumbles, rushing off to stop Slytherin’s Chasers anyway. Todoroki is somewhere far above him, fighting to grab the Snitch. It feels like a race between the two of them, even though they’re leagues apart.
Fuck, he’s supposed to be focusing. Maybe Deku and Kaminari were right when they said he’s too obvious about his feelings… Not that he’s trying to be, but still—
“Watch out!”
“What?” Bakugou mutters. He has just enough time to look up before the rogue Bludger hits him in the chest, The breath is knocked out of him, and he goes flying straight off his broomstick.
So much for keeping his head in the game.
***
“When he wakes up, you guys are so dead.”
“What? It wasn’t our fault the Bludger went rogue.”
“One of you could’ve hexed it. It wouldn’t surprise me.”
“You wanna say that again, you little—“
“You kids are being too rowdy! One of you can stay, but the rest have to go. Now.”
It suddenly becomes much quieter, and Bakugou carefully peels his eyes open. He expects to see a worried Deku or Kirishima, so for a second, he thinks his eyes must be going bad. Todoroki is sitting in the seat beside his bed, silently reading a transmutation textbook.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Bakugou mumbles, struggling to form the words. God, he better not have a fucking concussion.
“I came to see how you were doing.” Todoroki sets down his book, expression as annoyingly unreadable as usual. “…I didn’t catch the Snitch, in case you were wondering.”
“Good to know. You make it sound like it’s my fault, Half n’ Half asshole.”
“It is. Technically. I got distracted when you fell, and I couldn’t focus afterward.”
“Oh really?” Bakugou has to swallow back his surprise that Todoroki was worried about him enough to throw him off his game. He’s supposed to be pissed right now. “Still not my fault. The fucking Bludger went rogue on its own.”
Todoroki doesn’t say anything for a while, catching his lip between his teeth. Dammit, is he trying to give Bakugou a heart-attack? “I was worried,” he mumbles eventually, studiously avoiding eye contact. Another pause. “Sorry… You’re always watching me, so it’s… strange for our roles to be reversed.”
“I’m not always watching you, asshole. Who the fuck said I was?” He knows. He knows, and Bakugou isn’t even sure why he’s pretending anymore, but it’s probably for the sake of his pride. Todoroki definitely isn’t buying it, though.
“You thought I didn’t notice? It’s rather obvious, Bakugou.”
Again, those fucking words. These bastards are all sharing the same thesaurus or some shit. Bakugou really wants to lose it and snap at him, but he knows Todoroki isn’t trying to start something: he never is. “If it’s so damn obvious, shouldn’t you be staying away from me?”
“What? Why would I do that?”
“Well, you should hate me now, right? Aren’t you disgusted that I like you?”
“Who said I hate you?” Todoroki frowns in his stupid, idiotic, cute way. “I don’t hate you at all. I thought you hated me. You always pick fights, so when I started to notice that you like me, it was a shock.”
“Fuck… When did you notice?” Bakugou grumbles in defeat, wanting to sink into the covers until he suffocates. He clicks his tongue. “God… I was even being shitty to you on purpose, dumbass. I didn’t want you to know.”
“I was suspicious for a long time. When someone stole my herbology textbook, I saw you looking for it after class. That’s when it finally clicked.” Todoroki fidgets with the edge of his quidditch uniform: he must’ve come straight from the pitch. “I only came here to say that I… I can’t exactly say that I don’t have feelings for you. That’s all.”
“Fuck.” Bakugou closes his eyes. His head is spinning. “Shit. I must really have a concussion.”
“…Please don’t say that while I’m confessing to you.”
“Well say it fucking properly, then. Give me a reason to believe you.”
“I…” Todoroki hesitates. “…I like you.” His fingers brush against Bakugou’s arm gently, lighter than a feather. “I’m in love with you. Is that what you wanted to hear?”
“Honestly? For as long as I can remember,” Bakugou sighs, marveling at the simple action of holding Todoroki Shouto’s hand. His skin is soft as hell. “Fuck. Guess I don’t need that Amortentia, after all.”
God, he really hopes this isn’t a dream. Or, well, it can’t be a dream, can it? It would be much nicer and less confusing if he was dreaming, and Todoroki would definitely be kissing him right now. Instead, he scoffs. “Amortentia? You were going to use a love potion on me?”
“I was going to, but apparently I don’t need to anymore.”
“…I can’t believe I fell in love with you.”
“Trust me, pretty boy: the feeling’s mutual.”

Mileven post-S2 fanfiction recommendation list: PART V
Tumblr media
For past rec lists please see instalments I, II, III, and IV. If your fanfic isn’t featured, apologies. Message me and we’ll amend that grievance in the next rec list instalment. 
* marks the ongoing stories. 
canon: 
for laughs, for luck, for the unknown by ArtemisRae: “Mike goes away to college. El goes with him. Within a year she gains a new set of grandparents, a pet, a job, and enforces party rules.” 
+ its sequel the monkey in the wrench by ArtemisRae: “Mike ends up in the hospital, El has to face her insecurities, and they turn the corner with Mike’s parents.” [ArtemisRae’s works are so beautiful, I can’t breathe.] 
a wonderful awful idea by ArtemisRae: “Mike wants to recapture the Christmas magic of his childhood, but mostly he accidentally makes his girlfriend cry.” 
the last picture show by ArtemisRae: “Hopper catches Mike and El at the local drive in after being led to think that they were at the Hawk with their friends.” 
six weeks* by bananannabeth: “There are six weeks between the night El comes home and the night of the Snow Ball, which leaves not a lot of time to deal with a whole lot of shit. Somehow, she and Mike ride it out.” 
can’t argue with that by bananannabeth: “Karen is well aware of how stubborn her only son can be, but as much as he tries to pretend he has to do everything on his own, Mike isn’t alone anymore. So if he’s insisting on running to El’s rescue at the cabin in the middle of the woods at two in the morning, you can bet his mom is not letting him go alone.” 
+ its prequel with background Mileven: alone by bananannabeth: “Karen left Joyce alone when she so obviously needed support, and now she’s trying to make amends. Casserole and coffee seems as good a place as any to start.” God, I love bananannabeth’s You Can Talk To Me (aka. Karen Wheeler is a Good Mom™) series so, so much. 
just another sleepy sunday by suchastart: “Game night, a few years into the future.” 
promises by blacktreeswhitesky: “For Jane Ives, it’s always been like this. She was always searching for something, for someone.” [I’M NOT CRYING. YOU ARE CRYING.] 
how we sleep by zombiecupcake: “The gate is closed, and the gang finds themselves getting the much deserved rest they all needed.” 
love you like that* by ohanae: “Snippets out of Mike and El’s life after she closed the gate to the Upside Down. They learn things together, go to school together, grow up together.” 
operation christmas for el* by Booklover1217: “When the party discovers that El has never experienced a Christmas before they are horrified. That is until Mike comes up with the plan to give El the most amazing first Christmas imaginable and so Operation Christmas for El is born. The next days that follow are filled with gingerbread, mistletoe, snow, and the magic of Christmas which just may change El’s life forever.” 
home by lesbeatlesbunch: “Mike gets his license.” 
pretty by hma1313: “Sometimes he thinks he sees her standing at the end of the street in that ratty dress of his sister’s, the fabric torn and stained, but he’ll blink and then she’s gone and he’s half convinced he imagined it all.” 
scrap my knees, whatever; i’m gonna let them bleed by ceruleanstorm: “How many compliments can Mike and El yell at each other over a card game?” 
close the door by g00denough: “Because we are just waiting for when someone walks in on El and Mike kissing.” 
things you said* by Brown Eyes Parker: “a collection of one-shots revolving around Mike & Eleven and things they say to each other.” 
+ its sort of sequel, sort of outtakes things you said, alternate stories* by Brown Eyes Parker: “Original and alternate or continuations of stories in my “things you said” series.” 
heartbeats in the quiet by screamingintosilence: “It was usually just a cold, but this felt like the flu.” 
perfect summer day by AR357: “It was a sunny summer day in 1984. Mike had been looking forward to this day for a while. With each breath of crisp summer air, he felt more and more invigorated. With each hill he crested, he felt his heart thumping away. But then again, maybe he was just thinking about what the day’s events would hold.” 
flutterby, butterfly* by foreverinthe_eighties: “What would happen if, years after the events that took place in 1984, Kali seeks Eleven out herself. And gives her the opportunity to change her mind.” 
the name game by Strange_Archivist: “El and Mike have their first real fight, and it’s a doozy.” 
eleven things* by Socalledfriend: “Eleven returns, but things don’t just go back to the way they were. It’s not clear how she managed to get home, and meanwhile Will’s sickness is only getting worse. Some things never change though, and while she’s back, Mike manages to teach her at least eleven things about the outside world.”
raspberry breeze by urdearestmom: “Sometimes she stays up with him, and she calls him ridiculous. How don't you fall over when you get up in the morning? She asks. Pfft, I don’t need sleep! Who do you think I am? He says, but then he smiles and her heart melts, she's never been able to be angry at this boy for more than a few minutes.”
promises* by Vontar: “Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that matter. Scenes of life from Eleven and Mike, as they face the future together.”
stranger things holiday extravaganza* by Commernator: “Mike, Hopper, and the rest of the party help Eleven experience holidays for the first time.” 
alternative universe: 
the boy with freckles like constellations in the night sky* by got credits (Poly_Grumps): “It had been a quiet night in the town of Hawkins Indiana when Will Byers disappeared seemingly out of thin air. Jane Ellie Ives could still recall her last moments with him, the last words she had spoken with him before she watched him bike off into the night. It had started like any other day in fact, with the curly-haired girl and her gang of friends all sitting around in her basement gathered around a rather intense game of dungeons and dragons!” Reverse AU. [guys, guys, guys. I’m screaming. It’s so good.] 
(all i wanna be is) somebody to you* by sinclairsmax: “Elle Hopper never thought that she’d win American Idol. Then again, she also never thought Mike Wheeler would fall in love with her. Behind the cameras, everything is turned upside down.” YouTube AU. [this is everything I didn’t know I wanted.] 
we could be heroes* by ValBirch: “A series of connected vignettes about our favourite characters—but with superpowers.” Superhuman AU. I repeat, SUPERHUMAN AU. [Plus, the author has a whole set of moodboards/aesthetics for characters and I’m dying.] 
the artist & the dancer* by JavaCat26: “Her warm honey-brown eyes were fixated on him. Emotion washed over him like warm bath water. He wouldn’t let her down. Ever. He took a deep breath, steadied his hand, and pressed his pencil to the canvas. “I can do this…”” College AU. 
upside down and back again* by Crataeis: “When a new threat begins to emerge from the ashes of the Upside Down, an unlikely group of four of our six main protagonists band together to try and stop it.” Alternative Reality? Time Travel AU? I can’t quite tell, but although this fic is in its early stages, it’s really good and worth a look. 
a rose by any other name by serendipitous_rambles: “The Montague and Capulet high schools never got along. There was bitter rivalry between the two schools, nothing good could come from associating with each other. But what happens when two fall in love?” Romeo & Juliet-style High-School AU. 
+ bonus: wherein The Party is featured prominently…again: 
in a dream where the air is soft by a simple space nerd: “El has hair slicked back behind her ears, darkly ringed eyes, and somewhat bedraggled clothes, and Max would normally steer clear of people looking like her, but she’s heard so much about El, and God, why is this group of friends so unlike everyone else Max has ever met? Max never used to care about what random people thought of her. “Curse you, stalker,” she mutters half-heartedly.” [I love Mike and Max in this one. This has to be my favourite interpretation of both characters, hands down. This fic is so in tune with characterisation, it can be considered canon.] 
more than one best friend by topangamatthews: “El’s first best friend is Mike, but he’s not her last.” 
after the gate closed* by insomniacwriter17: “Just one shots about all the little head canons I have.” 
el’s word book* by Noth_lit_9: “El is frustrated that her vocabulary lags behind those of her friends, so Hopper wants to provide her with a way to see her growth.” 
it’s okay to not be okay by talesfromthesnogbox: “Jim Hopper knew it was a real emergency when he was woken in the night by a phone call from his son-in-law Mike from the hospital. All was not well, but Jim reminds Mike that sometimes it’s okay to not be okay.” 
teenage girls by EvieSmallwood: “El & Max hang out at the arcade. They talk about the present and the future.” 
a is for alphabet* by urdearestmom: “Each chapter is a letter of the alphabet, lots of fluff and laughs ensue.” 
so i could kill them for you by valancysnaith: “Max deserves so much better. The party is there for her.” 
.
.
okay, so I had a lot more, but my Cloud messed the fuck up and deleted half of the bookmarks I made. now, I gotta go and track down the fics I lost…
UPDATE: part VI is out.

I'm so tired of fighting, the only thing keeping me alive is not wanting to hurt those that love me. But it's getting harder and harder every day. I don't know what to do anymore. -FlutterBy
Hey,
I am really sorry to hear that you are going through such hard times, this is awful.
I’m glad to read that there is one thing that keeps you alive, this is important, please hold on tight to that reason. However, you should tell someone about how you feel. Talk to your friends, your parents and in the best case talk to a therapist or even consider going into hospital for a while until you feel a little bit better. You do not have to deal with this on your own, you shouldn’t deal with this on your own. Open up about it, talk about it. There are people out there willing to listen to, willing to help you and able to help you, you just have to look for them and reach out to them.
I know fighting can be hard sometimes, but you made it so far and you can be proud of yourself for that, give yourself some credit, you really deserve it. No matter how hard it might be to fight, always remember that you are so much stronger than you think you are, you are capable of so much. It may not be easy to fight, but it is not impossible to fight. Human beings are fighters, we survived so much in all those years we exist.
Let me give you a few more reasons why you would want to keep fighting, maybe you can find a second reason that will give you the willpower to stay alive and fight.
The four seasons and everything they can offer you like seeing the first flowers when spring comes, the smell of flowers watching the nature turn green again, realising it's slowly getting warmer and lighter outside, the warming sunshine when it's summer, being able to go swimming outside, eating a lot of ice cream, having great summer nights with friends, summer rain, petrichor, all the beautiful colors when autumn comes, Halloween time, sweater weather, the warming air of a fireplace, watching a fireplace, all the snow in the winter time, having snowball fights, having a warm drink and watch movies while you're hiding under cosy blankets.
Fireworks, no matter what the occasion is. They can be so beautiful and colourful and they bring people together by enjoying this together.
A good cup of tea or coffee in the morning to wake you up, to make you feel better and to have a good start into the day.
Food, food is amazing. There are so many yummy things you can eat like pizza, nutella, ice cream, chocolate, pasta, cupcakes, fruits, vegetables, cookies, donuts, waffles and so many more things.
Having a hobby like singing, dancing, reading, drawing, writing, playing instruments, doing sports, baking or taking pictures or videos and being able to get lost in a different world for a while and being able to really enjoy whatever you're doing.
Nature, it can offer you so many beautiful, colourful and breathtaking landscapes. Just think about all these beautiful places, all the waterfalls, foggy forests, rainy places, thunderstorms, sunsets, sunrises, jungles, oceans, mountains, tropical islands, flowers and fields, they can make you feel at peace.
Being able to travel this world. You can visit all these beautiful places and really enjoy them, not just through pictures but by actually being there. And if you like cities as well you can visit them. Travel to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, take the chance, explore this world.
You will meet so many new people when you're travelling, you can make so many new friends, you can get to know their cultures, you can spend time with them, their friends and family and I think this is pretty awesome.
It's a really great feeling to help someone, to give someone a compliment or to make someone smile and laugh. Other way around it's really great when someone is willing to help you, when you receive a compliment or when someone makes you laugh.
I am not going to lie, social media can be toxic, but if you know how to use it correctly it can actually be quite cool sometimes. You can conect and share things with people from the other side of the world, you can watch videos, you can share your talents and interests with other people, you can blog about the things you like, you can video call someone from the otherside of the world and I think it's very impressive that we are able to do all these things.
Animals, there are so many cute animals on this planet. Just think about all the dogs, cats, pandas, tigers, elephants, dolphins, rabbits, koalas, blue fishes, telling you to keep swimming, they are so amazing. It's so incredible to get a pet and be able to play with them, it's so much fun to watch videos of animals on the internet and it feels so good to see cute pictures of them all over the internet.
Nights, I don't know about you, but I'm a night owl and in case you are too you can find so much beauty in the night. Nights are like a whole different world, everything is so quiet and peaceful. You can sit by your window or even outside and when you look up you can watch the nightsky. So many stars it's too beautiful to be true and the longer you watch, the more stars you can see and maybe you'll even see a shooting star. The sound of the rain when you're slowly falling asleep or watching the rain fall to the ground under the street lantern across the street, it can be so calming.
Being awake at night is cool, yes, but sleeping is pretty cool as well. How awesome is it to finally get some sleep after a really long day, or remembering an awesome dream, or knowing that you are dreaming and being able to control your dreams or waking up and being able to fall back asleep and continue the dream. And if you can't fall asleep, or it's daytime, just daydream because we all do it and it's fun. And it's so cool when you wake up in the morning and you realise that you can still sleep a little bit or even better when you wake up at like 6AM and you realise that you don't have to go to school or work today.
Music, do I have to say more?
And so many other reasons. But the most important reason, live for yourself. You are reason enough to fight for and to live for and to breath for. You are amazing, you are beautiful, you are important, you are worth it and you are strong enough to keep going!
If you would like some more inspiration on why it is worth it to fight, if you need some things to make you smile, if you need some ways to distract yourself from these negative thoughts for a while, please check out the links down below.
