How to Save A Hero by startledstarling

I'm a mental health therapist who has worked with teens and adults for 7 years. I always wanted to know what it was like for the MHA students to recover after the war with AFO. So I wrote it!

I just posted chapter 5 of my fic imagining what it would be like to give therapy sessions to the students of class 1-A after the war. I wanted to write the details of their treatment and also show them just getting to be kids again.

Each chapter (except ch 1) has a therapy session and then 2-3 slice of life scenes.

So far we've got (not in order):

Izuku

Bakugo

Iida

Mina

Future plans for (also not in order):

Uraraka

Kirishima

Jiro

Kaminari

Momo

Todoroki

Tsuyu

Tokoyami

Aoyama

Monoma

Mineta

Eri

Group therapy

There are some romance pairings, but it's not the focus of the story. You can't have teenagers without romance!

There are 2 OCs: Hina the therapist and Mochi the therapy cat

I wanted to create a story that feels cathartic and comforting to read, but also realistic.

If this sounds like your thing, please check it out and let me know what you think!

(Also please feel free to share your ideas for what you'd like to see!)

Fell in love with this fic after staying up until 3am last night reading it!

It's a post-ch431 fix-it fic involving Midoriya having temporary amnesia to forget the love of his life. Three guesses about who that is 💚🧡 It's based on a fan web-comic by polonium-snap but it expands the detail so much!

It's a pretty popular fic but I hadn't come across it before so I wanted to share it here. I actually found it under the Toga/Ochako tag.

I loved seeing Izuku get to know Katsuki again and learning about their relationship history. It's so nice to see them stop pretending they aren't in love with each other.

I was struck by inspiration last night and stayed up until 2am writing. I'm really proud of it. It's literally my first creative writing since I was a child.

It's a little slice of life domestic fluff, less than 1000 words. Please give it a read and let me know what you think!

Pillow Talk by startledstarling

I spend almost all my free time reading bkdk fanfiction and I'd love to support some writers in our community. I'm not a fic writer (yet!) but I have an English Lit minor and am pretty good at editing papers. I'm also a professional counselor, so I can give accurate feedback for any mental health themes or therapist OCs.

I'm startledstarling on AO3.
