《Bakugou Katsuki x reader one shots》Soulmate AU-Hear Them Sing
Advertisement
"All I know, all I know~ is loving you is a losing game~"
"The day~you~slipped away... was the day~I knew~ it won't be the same, yeah."
"My feet are dangling off the edge, bottom of the bottle is my only friend."
"I'm worthless~I'm worthless~I'm worthless~"
"-this petite girl short as can be, is gonna jump now and be free."
"Jesus Christ, Kiri. Why is my soulmate so fucking depressed? She only sings sad songs. And her voice...it's so heartbreaking. And annoying."
The redhead chuckles quietly at his friend's confession. "Maybe you're the light she's waiting for."
"How am I supposed to find her? And what if she's so fucking annoying I can't stand her? This whole "soulmate" thing is stupid. I don't need a soulmate. I'm trying to be the number one hero."
"And what about her? She's sad and waiting for love. Who knows what she's been through? Leaving her alone would be unmanly."
The blonde rolls his eyes and shoves his hands in his pocket.
"All you wanna do, all you wanna do baby~"
"And I know~ he will never be satisfied. I will never be satisfied~"
"Pull me out~of the train wreck. Pull me out, pull me out~"
"Would anyone care? Would anyone cry? If I finally stepped off...this ledge tonight?"
Bakugou finally had enough. He goes to his room and locks his door.
He thinks of a song to sing for her but he couldn't think of anything.
So the next best thing: sing the words he wants her to hear.
He takes a deep breath and calms down.
"I know~I know it hurts. But believe when I say~don't leave me, don't jump, don't give up! I'm here for you, even though you're feeling blue. Find me here, find you there. Across the world or in my arms~I will kiss your scars."

(Y/n) and Shinso are studying in his dorm.
They have been friends since their first year of middle school.
Although she doesn't have a quirk and she didn't get into UA he still finds her company pleasant.
They help each other study whenever they get a chance.
Usually she walks to the dorms since it's not far from her house.
She's gone through a lot and Shinso is there to help her through it. For the last year or so she began to think she didn't have a soulmate.
He never sings.
As the two sit in silence, writing different homework answers, her eyes widen upon hearing a soft voice in her mind.
Her body stiffens and she drops her pencil.
The purple haired boy looks up at his friend. "What's wrong?"
"He's singing." She whispers as tears stream her cheeks, listening to every word.
When Bakugou stops Shinso rubs her hand.
"Are you ok?"
She quickly writes down what he said and shows it to her friend.
The boy reads it and nods. "Nothing to say who he is unfortunately."
"But at least I have a soulmate." She smiles happily.
Shinso smiles softly, seeing hers.
When she gets back home she changes and gets into her bed.
The moonlight shines through her open shades.
"I will find you one day~ one day soon. Wait for me till then."
She sings softly and closes her eyes
As Bakugou lays down he smirks.
"One day soon~"
He whispers then falls asleep.
The next day is Saturday so when (Y/n) wakes up she gets dressed and makes her way toward UA to hangout with Shinso per usual.
On her way a certain lightning boy passes her.
"Hey don't you hangout with Shinso a lot?" He asks, turning toward her.

She blushes but nods. "Yeah. Why?"
"Can you tell me how to get close to him? I wanna hangout with him but he's so closed off."
(Y/n) giggles softly as she walks with Denki. "I um...I don't really know. I don't know you so I don't know why he avoids you. But uh...are you by any chance a loud blonde?"
He blushes and rubs the back of his neck. "Maybe..." he trails off.
The girl nods as they make it to the 1-A dorm building.
"Well this is my stop. Text me some pointers k?" He asks, handing her a piece of paper.
She takes it and nods. "I'll try."
The lightning boy turns around.
"Yo dunce face, hold the door!" Bakugou yells.
(Y/n) begins walking away, singing softly.
"One day soon~"
Bakugou's eyes widen as he stares at (Y/n).
"One day soon~"
He sings, causing her to stop in her tracks.
She turns and looks at the explosion boy.
"Whoa Bakugou! I've never heard you sing." Denki comments.
The two walk toward each other.
"You're..." he trails off.
"You're my..." she does the same.
Tears stream down her cheeks.
He pulls his sweater sleeve down and wipes her tears with the polyester. "Damn dumbass. Making me worry over you."
She looks down and sniffles.
He pulls her sleeves up and sighs at the scars.
(Y/n) quickly tries pulling away but his grip tightens.
"Across the world or in my arms...I'll kiss your scars."
He sings quietly then kisses each scar.
She cries softly and hugs him tightly.
Denki couldn't believe his eyes. He quickly snaps a picture and adds it to the class group chat.
(Y/n) takes a deep breath, inhaling his scent.
He pets her hair gently. "Let's go dumbass. I'm gonna show you the best damn time. So good that you'll forget all about your depression."
She giggles softly and nods. "Ok."
He pulls her away and holds her hand.
(Y/n) pulls out her phone and takes a selfie with Bakugou. Then she sends it to Shinso.
"I finally found my soulmate."
The purple haired boy opens the text and growls. "That can't be right. He's a total ass." He whispers.
Although upon seeing her, he couldn't help sighing.
He's never seen her so happy before.
Not to mention Bakugou looks calm and happy as well, not his usual cocky self.
Shinso made a mental note to definitely interrogate the blonde later.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!
