Here's our last contributing mod: @mephistophilies.bsky.social 🍓 A tattoo artist by day and shipper by night, Meph loves drawing KRBK with striking eyes and flushed cheeks. Oh, and he's also an angst enjoyer, as he proves in our zine! 👀🩸

An excerpt of Star's writing:

Bakugou lets out a soft murmur - low in his throat, barely a sound at all. Sleep clings to him, making his eyes heavy and hard to open. He gives up halfway through trying. But he doesn't have to say anything, because a hand presses firm to the back of his neck. The touch is warm. Familiar. It pulls away, only to return before Bakugou can protest - an arm wrapping around his back, the other underneath his knees. He is settled against... someone's chest, pulled close, his head lulling until he can hear the steady thump, thump, thump under his ear.

There's only one person that it could be.

"K'shima?"

my preview for the cutest ever krbk sleepover zine @pillowfortzine.bsky.social 🛌💤 💗 not much sleeping is happening though…………..

🍿 popcorn and pillowforts zine preview 🍿

He raises a brow. “What, you fuckin’ want me that bad? Desperate much?”

Eijirou grins impossibly wider, full of sharp teeth that he’s only dreamt of decimating his neck. “You say that like I’m not on my knees for you every chance I get.”

He ignores the way his pulse does a stuttering two-four staccato because he is absolutely not flustered by his own boyfriend in the slightest. He refuses to be one of those guys who gets weak-kneed after a one-liner, he won’t.

(His heart begs otherwise. His shaky legs do, too. But Katsuki has far too much pride to simply submit.)

“Flattery gets you everywhere,” Katsuki tells him instead, and Eijirou’s smile goes sly.

“Where is that exactly, with you?”

An excerpt from "all's well that ends well (to end up with you)":

"Sleep," Kirishima orders. "I'm not out of here until eleven."

"This is your bed," Katsuki says, yawning.

"Yeah," Kirishima says. The corner of his mouth kicks up. "But we're in love, remember? Means we get to share." He looks so happy to say it, finally, that Katsuki can't help but make him happy.

"Fine," he says, pretending it's a hardship to tug Kirishima down into the flat mattress and pull him close, close, closer.

all's well that ends well (to end up with you) by aloera

Summary:

There’s a man standing in the doorway. He’s tall and beautiful, with sweet eyes and red hair that falls soft against his shoulders. His t-shirt is tight on his shoulders but his sweatpants run long, dragging on the floor as he stumbles to the side of the bed.

“Oh my god,” he says again, eyes glassy. “I missed you, Katsuki, you have no idea how much.”

“I don’t know you,” Katsuki says, as calm as he can manage.

Who’s ready for a good old fashion Coffee Shop AU for the @pillowfortzine.bsky.social Lots of fluff and cozy vibes with my piece! I’m so excited to share it, but for now, here’s a small preview🥰

Zine preview:
“Dude! You should totally come! It would be like a million times more fun if you’re there!” Suddenly Bakugou is faced with, somehow, an even brighter smile with eyes that are practically bursting with stars. And fuck, does it make him weak in the knees. “Please, Bakugou! I promise you’ll have a blast!”
Just the way this pretty guy is staring at him, looking up at him like Bakugou’s someone to be adored and praised and treasured. Like he’s the key to some unsolved puzzle or locked box.
How could he not say yes?
“F-fine,” Bakugou grumbles, face turned down towards his chest, crossing his arms to hide his quickened breaths, “I better not regret it though, Shitty Hair.”
