One aspect of Deku x Bakugou fanfiction is the exploration of their complex relationship. In the original series, they have a history of rivalry and conflict. Fanfiction often delves into how they might overcome these issues and develop a deeper bond. It could be through shared experiences in battles or personal growth moments. Writers might show Bakugou learning to respect Deku's growth and Deku seeing Bakugou in a new light.
One common theme is rivalry. Their long - standing competitive relationship is often explored further in fanfiction. Writers like to show how they constantly try to outdo each other in different ways. Another theme is friendship. Despite their rough start, many fanfictions focus on how they gradually become friends or at least learn to respect each other more.
In some fanfictions, Deku and Bakugou might be in a situation where they are the only ones who can save their classmates from a powerful villain. This would put a lot of pressure on them but also force them to put aside their differences. They could also be in a time - travel scenario where they go back to their childhood and try to change certain events that led to their rocky relationship in the present.
To develop their relationship realistically, start with their existing dynamic. Bakugou is often aggressive towards Deku, so a slow change is needed. Maybe have them be forced to team up. As they face challenges together, Bakugou could start to respect Deku's abilities bit by bit. For example, if they are in a battle against a powerful villain and Deku comes up with a clever strategy, Bakugou might grudgingly admit Deku's smarts.
The popularity also lies in the potential for character growth within these fanfictions. Deku and Bakugou both have a lot of room for development, especially in their relationship with each other. Fanfiction allows for the exploration of their feelings, like Bakugou coming to terms with his jealousy of Deku's progress and Deku learning to stand up to Bakugou in a different way. These deep dives into their characters' psyches make the fanfiction appealing to many.
One popular plot idea is them working together on a difficult mission. They have to put aside their differences and combine their powers. Another is a story where Bakugou realizes his true feelings for Deku and struggles with how to express them. A third could be a fanfic where they are transported to an alternate universe and have to rely on each other to get back home.
Villain Deku would likely be very manipulative towards Fem Bakugou. He might try to use her anger and pride against her. For example, he could taunt her about how the hero system has failed her in some ways, making her question her loyalty. Bakugou, on the other hand, would probably respond with aggression at first. She would not take kindly to Deku's villainous ways and would try to attack him. But as she realizes Deku has some valid points about the hero system, she might start to listen more and their interactions could become more of a debate rather than just physical combat.
The plot might involve a love - hate relationship. Villain Deku has his own motives and plans, and Fem Bakugou is in his way. But at the same time, there could be a past connection between them that resurfaces. For example, they could have been childhood friends before Deku's turn to villainy. This connection could make their encounters more complex and emotional. Bakugou could be torn between her duty as a hero - in - training and her feelings for Deku. And Deku, despite being a villain, might still have some soft spot for Bakugou which could lead to some internal conflict within him as he tries to carry out his villainous plans.
One interesting fanfiction could be where Deku and Bakugou have to team up for a special mission outside of UA. They start off arguing as usual but gradually learn to trust each other more deeply. Another might be a story set in an alternate universe where they're not rivals but instead friends from the start and face different villains together.
One idea could be that Deku, turned villain, challenges Bakugou's view of heroism. He could expose the flaws in the hero society that Bakugou blindly believes in. For example, Deku might target the way heroes are ranked and how it creates a cut - throat environment. This would force Bakugou to re - evaluate his own pursuit of being the top hero.
