Summary
What the overwhelming majority of people didn’t know about Katsuki Bakugou is that he also possessed a secondary quirk.
In fact, the only person to ever be let on this secret was his mother, and even she only came to know about it because one time during an argument, Katsuki lost his head and spat at her how utterly irrelevant she was to the narrative, and therefore should just shut the fuck up.
Maybe he was just going crazy.—
Or, an au where Bakugou's fourth wall jokes are no jokes because he's actually aware of himself as a fictional character.

Summary
In the years to come, the Mariner would watch the seas with heavy step, the fog rolling through the small town and permeating her lungs, shrouding her until she is as much a part of it as the sea itself, her borders blurring into the soft gray. No matter the chill, she would go out to face the icy blasts of wind, treating it all as the most salubrious of health spas; then again, if the rumors are to be believed, she has faced colder things. It would be easy to consign dark horrors to whispered tales on rainy nights and moon-shattered waves, but the town of Far Harbor knows what nightmares can walk the day, and can wear human shape before returning to the bottom of the sea to lip at long-ago civilizations.
