A bit late to this!

I have come across a few evil!All Might fics but didn't know they were an entire subgenre in and of themselves, interesting. I've also seen a whole lot of villain fics for Izuku. It's not my thing but I do quite like the villain interpretation for him. It's like, yeah, he's been through some shit, he could totally turn evil at anytime! (On that note there's a canon arc where Bakugo gets kidnapped by the League since they think he is the kid most likely to turn evil, and he is incredibly offended by that. It's played angstily but I think it is actually very funny in hindsight).

I am a basic bitch who loves BakuDeku so the Bakugo fics I've read are in that romantic context. But what I like about the best of those fics is that Bakugo has to go through a minimum amount of character growth and repentence for them to make sense as a couple, which is very much my jam in romance. But it's definitely a balancing act - he still needs to be a cocky asshole too, otherwise it feels OOC, and just isn't fun.

I can understand you not wanting to know his canon backstory for the reasons you've said though. I used to read a lot of HP fic and quite liked grown up Draco stuff - but sometimes I found it hard to get into those stories because I would be like 'wait a minute, he was actually a racist bully as a kid, does he really not have to deal any consequences for that?', which would take me out of an otherwise fun story.

But at the same time I do like seeing how people envision Bakugo using his strengths and weaknesses to become an actually functional hero (plus, he gets plenty of character growth in canon too).

I really like Hawks as a character and I've read a few Hawks/Endeavour fic (do I maybe have a good boy/bad boy thing? Maybe lol). I said I don't think it's a leap for him to be playboy because he is canonically charming - he is able to get the hero students to hero worship him a bit even though they're surrounded by powerful heroes, and he's also convince grumpy mean Endeavour to help him. And that's all while simultaneously being the youngest ever Number 2 Hero and also a deep undercover spy in the Paraliberation Army. Considering he grew up in poverty and was rescued as a child by the Commission and raised to be a hero, it's actually kind of nuts what he has achieved. So I say it's not a stretch for him to be a playboy because it is entirely consistent with his character to be able to charm anyone into doing what he wants - so why wouldn't that stretch to sleeping with him? Plus, you know, the whole playboy spy cliche.

Though I'm probably more into angsty depressed Hawks, lol.

I like Endeavour on the road to redemption myself, but I also like him because I see his worst vices as Bakugo's competitiveness and desire to be the best at all costs taken to its extreme. (On that note, I really like the parallels between the kid characters and the adult characters). I don't know if it comes up in fic as much, but in canon it's said his desire to build the perfect child is because if he can't, he wants one of his children to one day beat All Might and become the Number One Hero. Such a petty bitch. But onviously as you say there must be a bit more to it that isn't explained, because that is a completely nuts thing to do.

Good All Might is also my love. Fics where he and Izuko's mother get together in the background and she loves his boney broken self very much my jam.

Are you into Aizawa at all? He is probably my favourite adult in the series even though I don't read that much fic of him.

OP

So I'm super tired and will gush later about the other comments, but I have read some Aizawa here & there! He's super chill and I like seeing him in a kind of accidental father role. I feel like a fair amount of the fic I've read about him has been OOC, though, so it can vary. But there's some decent fic for him as well. He's paired often with the loud speaker dude.

Full disclosure, I tend to read OC/MC pairings, but I don't mind when it's MC1xOCxMC2 and it's really just an OT3 where everyone is together.

Endeavor and All Might
Hawks and Dabi

You probably won't see this, but just wanted to reply in case you do!

Aizawa is such a fave. At first I thought he and Present Mic were a random pairing - but they actually have a backsliding together where they were best friends in school, which is wild.

OC/MC isn't usually my cup of tea, but I respect it. I also think it's great when a fandom is big enough that there is enough OC content for people who are into it. And I get some of the appeal - recently I've read some OC/MC longfic that I've really enjoyed.
