What Are The Best Bakudeku AU Fics On Wattpad?

Bakudeku AUs on Wattpad are my guilty pleasure, and I’ve binged enough to know which ones hit different. 'Static Hearts' is a superhero/villain AU where Izuku is a hero-in-training and Katsuki is a rogue with a grudge. Their fights are charged with so much tension it’s ridiculous. 'Bloom' is a hanahaki disease fic with a twist—Izuku’s flowers are explosions, and the symbolism kills me.

For something completely offbeat, 'Neon Lights' is a cyberpunk AU where they’re rival hackers. The banter is sharp, and the tech jargon feels authentic without being overwhelming. 'Whispers in the Dark' is a horror AU where they investigate paranormal activity, and the slow build of trust is *chef’s kiss*.

If you prefer slice-of-life, 'Apartment 404' is a roommate AU with hilarious miscommunication and eventual fluff. The author nails their voices, especially Katsuki’s gruff softness. These fics all bring something unique to the table, whether it’s genre twists or emotional depth.

Wattpad has some absolute gems when it comes to AUs. One of my all-time favorites is 'Quirkless Wonder,' where Izuku is a detective and Katsuki is a vigilante—their dynamic is explosive in the best way. Another standout is 'Royal Flush,' a royalty AU with Izuku as a hidden prince and Katsuki as his bodyguard. The tension is chef's kiss. 'In Another Life' is a soulmate AU with a twist—their marks appear when they’ve hurt each other, and the emotional depth is unreal. For something lighter, 'Coffee Shop Confessions' is a fluffy barista AU with just the right amount of pining. These fics nail the characters’ voices while giving fresh takes on their relationship.

I’ve curated a list of AUs that genuinely stand out. 'Blackout' is a dystopian AU where Katsuki is a rebel leader and Izuku is a scientist forced to work for the government. The world-building is intense, and their slow burn is worth every chapter. 'Frostbite' is a fantasy AU with Izuku as a frost mage and Katsuki as a fire warrior—their elemental rivalry is *chef’s kiss*.

For those who love angst, 'Scars We Share' explores a universe where they swap quirks, and the emotional fallout is heartbreakingly beautiful. On the fluffier side, 'Starlit Skies' is a camping AU where they reconnect as adults under the stars. The author’s prose is poetic, and the tenderness between them feels so real.

If you’re into historical AUs, 'Silk and Gunpowder' sets them in a samurai-era Japan with Katsuki as a warlord and Izuku as a tea merchant’s son. The cultural details are meticulously researched, and the romance unfolds like a classic epic. These fics aren’t just tropes—they’re transformative works that redefine the pairing.
