Happy valentine’s dayyyy. On the docket for today is @habken’s Battle of the Blades au because I really really like it! They’re practicing, but they’re being goobers about it :)
I wrote a small drabble inspired by this fanart by @habken, who is one of my favorite artists here, because I love to see the different interpretations of the moment where people understand how heroic and capable Bakugou is and I live for Deku's "Kacchan sugoi" scenes. This is just my take on what happened later, because it's such a great comic and I love everything about it:
Izuku braced himself for an impact that never came. Instead, he was wrapped in the heat of explosions and a booming voice that rose above the roaring in his ears.
"GOTCHA, YOU BASTARD!"
When he dared to lower his arms, Izuku was taken back by the sight: a broad back shielded him, the spikes of pale hair a stark contrast to the explosions framing his head.
Bakugou Katsuki had saved him.
Izuku gaped as the pro put more distance between the man and him. He shot a precise explosion that sent the man down, and with a fluid motion, palms still smoking, the hero slapped a set of cuffs on the perp.
Bakugou placed a black boot on the man's chest, and snarled. "You better stay down, asshole."
Just when Izuku figured he had forgotten about him, Bakugou turned, rooting him in place with the weight of his gaze. He walked closer to Izuku, and carefully grabbed the crook of his elbow.
"Deku," he said, voice leveled. "Are you okay? Did he touch you?"
Izuku was familiar with Bakugou Katsuki: he was the agency hot head, sauntering everywhere he went, looking at people over his shoulder and shouting for no good reason through a perpetual sneer. He drove Izuku crazy, and forced him to fight off an unwanted fascination for the man whenever he happened to grace the IT Department with his presence, dropping his laptop unceremoniously on Izuku's desk, even when other people were available.
But this Bakugou Katsuki was different; his touch was gentle, while still firm. His red eyes were focused and attentive, quickly scanning Izuku for any injury. The tone of his voice was reassuring and confident. He hadn't hesitated to get between Izuku and danger. He exuded so much power and strength, making Izuku feel safe and protected.
This was hero Dynamite, and Izuku was star-struck in his presence.
"I'm... I'm o-okay," he stuttered.
After a stare that felt eternal, Dynamite stepped back, and grinned. Izuku had seen him smile on TV before, thinking he looked like a deranged jerk, but he was unprepared for the full shine of his grin. It was contagious. Full of confidence. One corner of his mouth quirked up higher than the other, and he tilted his head back as he spoke.
"Sure you are, loser."
It was like the Bakugou Katsuki that he knew had reached out from inside the hero, reconciling the two men into one single person.
The reality of the fact that if Izuku removed the black mask, he would see the same face he had seen at least once everyday for the past months crashed into him as his heart skipped a beat and his face turned beet red.
after seeing @habken’s hockey au over on twitter my brain would not let me rest until i scribbled an entire page of bakugou as a zamboni driver
heavily based on david ayres’ experience of stepping in as emergency goalie for the carolina hurricanes bc i couldn’t have come up with a better meet cute if i tried
I’ve been loving the hockey/figure skating au stuff coming from the battle of the blades stuff started by @habken and as a past figure skater I’d like to offer any artists or fic writers some knowledge if they are unfamiliar with figure skating.
Figure skates are specially made for the sport and are not like hockey skates at all. They often extend farther than you expect in the back, and the front usually has what’s called a toe pick, it is a jagged section of the blade that’s on an angle, and you use it to dig the front of the skate into the ice so you have a stable pushing off point for jumps. You can also drag it behind you to stop but be warned if it snags the ice and you are going fast it’s a fast way to a face full of ice.
Figure skaters never wear helmets one of the first parts of training is how to fall properly and safely so that you don’t hurt yourself and especially not your head. You can watch videos on how to fall when ice skating on YouTube. (Young kids often wear these foam donut style head pieces instead of helmets if parents are worried, I recommend googling these they are very silly looking)
Figure skates are horribly tight. They keep your ankle and foot held in place so you do not roll or break your ankle. Your ankle mobility while wearing them is very limited and it’s often painfully tight. As my trainer used to tell me “if it hurts it’s tight enough” think of them like corsets as shoes.
If you are learning a hard or complicated jump and there is concern of it being dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing you will often be hooked up to a sort of pulley system that your trainer will hold you with so if something goes wrong you will be safe.
I hope this helps anyone unfamiliar with figure skating who wants to make content for this amazing AU! I’ve been loving everything I’ve seen so far <3
