There are several factors. Firstly, Harry's role as the hero makes him a prime target for exploring the pressures of being in that position. In the books, we see glimpses of his busy life but fanfic writers want to expand on it. Secondly, it allows for a lot of creativity. Writers can come up with different ways the overworked Harry might react or change. It also gives a chance to show a more human side of Harry, with all his exhaustion and struggles, which might not have been fully explored in the original series.
It depends. Sometimes Deku can manage to use 100 percent without getting hurt if he has mastered certain techniques or has received special training. But usually, it comes with a risk of injury.
At first, it could be extremely strained. Deku might be terrified of Bakugou and avoid him at all costs. But as the story progresses, if Bakugou realizes his mistake, he could start trying to make it up to Deku. Deku, on the other hand, might be hesitant to accept Bakugou's apologies at first, but over time, they could start to rebuild a more positive relationship based on mutual respect.
One possible theme could be bullying and its extreme consequences. Bakugou's statement is an extreme form of bullying, and the fanfic might explore how such words can deeply affect Deku's mental state. Another theme could be redemption. Maybe the story will show Bakugou realizing the gravity of his words and trying to make amends. It could also touch on the theme of friendship, as Deku might have to decide whether to forgive Bakugou and rebuild their relationship.
Another theme is self - sacrifice. Merlin often puts his own well - being aside because he's so overworked. He'll skip meals or sleep to ensure Arthur's safety or to deal with a magical emergency. In some fanfics, this leads to him getting sick or making mistakes that he has to fix later.
In overworked Merlin fanfiction, the theme of self - sacrifice is quite common. Merlin sacrifices his own time, energy, and sometimes even his safety for the sake of Arthur and Camelot. He is constantly working hard, whether it's using his magic to protect the kingdom or doing menial tasks for Arthur. Another theme is the hope for a break or a change. Merlin often wishes for a time when he can be less overworked, and this longing is a recurring element in these fanfictions. It shows his human side, as he gets tired of the constant grind just like any normal person would.
