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.
