11!!This fanfiction contains examples of:
12* AccidentalMurder: The thief Bakugo and Future Midoriya were chasing accidentally sends a crate falling down on a paralyzed Deku, killing him. She's horrified by what she's done and hysterically rambles that she expected him to dodge since he's [[WorldsStrongestMan Deku]].
13* AdaptedOut: Shinso replaces Mineta in Class 1-A, removing the latter from the plot.
14* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In canon (and [[PeggySue Bakugo's first past]]), Bakugo's less moral actions were excused or complimented by his teachers and classmates in middle school since he was popular and had a powerful Quirk. This time around, Bakugo could not care less about his schooling and cares much more about his friendship with Deku. As a result, his relationship with other people at his middle school is much worse. He is bullied, many kids think he and Deku are dating and call them homophobic slurs, and the teachers are convinced Bakugo will become a villain because he is a "problem child". It's so bad that many are glad when "that villain" tests out and insult him for it, infuriating Midoriya.
15* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
16** Bakugo purposely trains with Midoriya in places Eraserhead frequents so they meet Aizawa when they are eight. He sees the potential in both of them and agrees to train them to become heroes.
17** Bakugo meets Shinso at a gym before he goes to UA. They become fast friends.
18** Uwambi appears a bit earlier in the internship arc [[spoiler:since she replaces Midnight as Class 1-A’s art history teacher]]
19* AdaptationalExpansion: The fic explores Bakugo and Deku's childhoods in detail. This includes their time in middle school and training by Aizawa. The story does not get to UA until chapter seventeen.
20* AdaptationalJerkass: Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugo's parenting can be questionable in the manga, but they are not outright neglectful as they are in the fic.
21* AdaptationalKarma: The heroes responsible for tying Katsuki up for the Sports Festival award ceremony will have their teaching/hero licenses evaluated and will be suspended from their classrooms for the time being. Only until they pass some recovery programs will they be able to teach again.
22* AdaptationalSexuality: It's a [=BakuKiri=] and [=IzuShoto=] fic. So Izuku, Bakugo, Kirishima, and Shoto are all gay. [[spoiler:Aizawa and Hizashi]] might become a couple as well.
23* AdultsAreUseless: Zig-zagged.
24** Played Straight. Katsuki's parents and the teachers at his middle school are absent or useless and the latter group do not see Katsuki is a good kid. Instead they see him as a troublemaker and guaranteed villain.
25** On the averted side, adults like Aizawa, Inko, All Might, and Hizashi are all helpful and invested in caring for Izuku and Katsuki. Izuku notes that Aizawa is the first adult since Inko to see Bakugo isn't a bad kid .
26* AffectionateNickname:
27** Due to hearing Izuku continuously calling Katsuki 'Kacchan’ before he found out his actual name Aizawa calls him that in his head. He tries, and fails, to remember to call him by his actual name out loud. Eventually, he just sticks with calling him Kacchan. Later Present Mic follows suit.
28** Katsuki calls Izuku ‘Deku’ here as well, but it’s because he’s used to calling him that in the original timeline as opposed to an insult
29** Katsuki calls Inko ‘Not-mom’
30** Present Mic sometimes calls Katsuki ‘Kittycat’ or ‘Kitty’
31** Katsuki takes to calling Present Mic ‘Papa Mic’

34** Katsuki calls Hitoshi ‘Shitstain’
35** Class 1-A view Katsuki’s unconventional names for them as this [[spoiler:some go as far as to make them their hero names]]
36** Some members of Class 1-A call Hitoshi ‘Zombie’
37** Katsuki and Hitoshi call Tenya ‘Glasses’
38** After Izuku stutters out Todoroki’s name and accidentally calls him ‘Tododo’ some members of Class 1-A, particularly Ochako and Denki, refer to him as such on occasion
39-->Katsuki: Whatsit this is Shitstain. Shitstain, Whatsit.
40-->Shinsou: Nice to know I’m not the only one he does that to.
41-->All Might: I believe his little nicknames are how he shows affection
42* AmbiguouslyGay: It's initially unclear if [[spoiler:Aizawa and Hizashi's]] relationship is meant to be platonic or romantic. Midnight thinks they should get together already but this is [[ShipperOnDeck Midnight]] talking. The updated tags spoil that their relationship is indeed going to be a romantic one.
43* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Mitsuki came to hate Aizawa and Present Mic since she felt as though they were stealing her child away from her and at one point wished one or both of them would die just to get them away from Katsuki. [[spoiler:When Present Mic was severely injured however she regretted that wish, seeing how inconsolable Katsuki became afterwards.]]
44* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:Aizawa, overcome with relief and warmth, kisses Yamada after seeing him for the first time since Yamada awakened from his coma.]]
45* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Due to blaming himself for how the USJ incident turned out Katsuki distances himself from Aizawa and his classmates even acting hostile to anyone who approaches him. Eventually, Katsuki reconciles with Aizawa and Class 1-A.
46-->Tsuyu: I know your Papa is proud of you, kero
47-->Katsuki: I killed him.
48-->Izuku: He isn’t dead, And I’d bet, if he were here right now, he’d…I want to say he’d be upset with you for acting this way… but… we both know he’d just give you a hug
49* {{Cliffhanger}}:
50** Chapter 25 ends with [[spoiler:Kurogiri and Shigaraki arriving at UA in front of Bakugo, Kirishima, and Shinso.]]
51** Chapter 31 ends with All Might arriving at the USJ to see [[spoiler:an injured and unconscious Yamada in the hands of the Nomu.]]
52* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Future Midoriya is paralyzed by a Quirk and crushed to death by a huge metal container, horrifying Bakugo and the [[AccidentalMurder killer]].
53* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Nezu rightfully thinks that if the teachers involved in tying Katsuki up at the Sports Festival had stopped to think about how stupid their plan was then U.A wouldn’t be facing lawsuits and general backlash from the public.
54* EntertaininglyWrong: Todoroki and half the internet are convinced [[spoiler:Midoriya and Bakugo are Aizawa and Hizashi's biological kids via unknown women.]] Theories vary between those that think they were the result of one-night stands and those who believe they were part of a surrogate program.
55* ExactWords: Katsuki uses vague but truthful phrasing about the source of his knowledge to get around Tsukauchi's Lie Detector Quirk while being questioned after [[spoiler:he faces Shigaraki and Kurogiri at UA]].
56* KidsAreCruel: Five year-old Midoriya's classmates bully him for being Quirkless and use their Quirks to hurt him because of said Quirklessness. Bakugo protects Midoriya from them when he can but as they grow older, the kids start mocking them for [[MistakenForRomance "being a gay couple"]] [[note]]They are gay but [[PlatonicLifePartners they aren't a couple]].[[/note]] and calling them homophobic slurs.
57* ImprobablyQuickComaRecovery: Present Mic suffered terrible injuries that under normal circumstances should have resulted in his death but due to All Might calling in renowned doctors put him in a coma. He still wakes up only two weeks later in time for the sports festival. Somewhat subverted as he struggles to walk and needs Tensei’s help to get to U.A and after a couple of hours he has to rest to recover his energy.
58-->Yamada: I need to be there.
59-->Tensei: You literally just woke up from a coma.
60-->Yamada: Tensei. Please. I’m not pretending I’m 100 percent… Just… Help me. I… I need to see them. I want to be there. I have to be there. Please?
61* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Present Mic first meets Katsuki and finds out Aizawa, who hates children, is training him for U.A he asks why Aizawa would do something like that for a random kid. Which leads to Katsuki running away wondering why Aizawa puts up with him.
62* InternalReveal: In Chapter 42 Todoroki reveals his parents quirk marriage and the abuse Endeavor put him through to Izuku and Midoriya
63* {{Irony}}:
64** Shinsou freaks out over the fact that Katsuki is being trained by not one but two heroes… while the third hero training Katsuki is standing right next to him in disguise.
65** Due to Katsuki sticking close to Eraserhead during the quirk assessment some members of class 1-A think that he’s trying to suck up to him, and that Eraserhead may get annoyed with him. Not knowing that father-son relationship that they share.
66** Izuku thinks to himself that someone as amazing as Kachan wouldn’t pine after someone… only for Katsuki to be pining after Eijirou.
67* LateArrivalSpoiler: The updated tags spoil future pairings such as [=IzuShoto=], [=BakuKiri=], and [=EraserMic=].
68* LighterAndSofter: Unlike the manga itself and many time travel fics, ''Time Again'' focuses more on slice-of-life aspects than a "save the world" plot. However, the series does have its darker moments such as [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Future Midoriya's death]].
69* LogFic: Some portions of the story are written in the format of Discord messages
70* LoveAtFirstSight: When Eijirou sees Katsuki at the entrance exam he can’t help but stop and admire him, and when they talk during the exam Eijirou thinks that he’s cute despite his manly appearance.
71* MeaningfulRename: Instead of going with the hero name he had in his previous life, ‘Overkill’, Katsuki makes his name ‘Ground Zero to symbolize that he’s starting over from zero.
72* MentalTimeTravel: Katsuki's mind goes back in time into his five year-old self's body.
73* MistakenForRomance: Happens to Izuku and Katsuki all the time
74** All Might thought that the two were dating due to how cuddly they were, when he brought it up to Midoriya the teen was disgusted by the insinuation.
75** When Shinsou tells Katsuki he thought him and Izuku are dating, Katsuki reacts with disgust and responds with [[NotHelpingYourCase “Deku? Deku’s my baby”]]
76** Kirishima, who has a crush on Katsuki, thinks that the two are dating when he sees them holding hands on the first day of class [[spoiler:he is beyond excited when he finds out that they are not together in Chapter 28]]
77** Most of Class 1-A thought that Izuku and Katsuki were boyfriends and were shocked to find out that they are actually brothers
78** Present Mic and Eraserhead get hit by this a lot too! Almost anytime anyone sees them interact with Katsuki they assume that the two are together and that Katsuki is their son, with there even being online communities dedicated to ‘Eraser Mic’ and their secret family. [[spoiler:They aren’t exactly wrong since Aizawa and Yamada do have romantic feeling for eachother and are now Katsuki’s secondary parents]]
79-->Kaminari to Katsuki: Bro, I thought he was your boo! He’s your brother?
80* MistakenForSuicidal: One day, Bakugo rudely makes Midoriya walk home alone and turns off his phone. He does this as part of a plan to eventually get Midoriya to run into the Slime Villain and All Might in a month's time, but from Midoriya's point of view he's acting incredibly out of character. Midoriya calls Aizawa and Aizawa finds Bakugo on the edge of a building. Aizawa thinks he was about to jump, but in reality Bakugo went there to think and began crying when he realized he never got to marry Kirishima and would never get the chance.
81* MustMakeAmends: After The Sports Festival Midnight resigns from her position as a hero and a teacher and plans to retake the necessary exams since she feels as though she doesn’t deserve to be a hero in the state she is in now.
82-->Midnight: I’m resigning from my position. This isn’t the first time I’ve messed up as a teacher. This isn’t the first time I’ve messed up as a hero. And I don’t want it to seem like the only reason I’m facing consequences is that I’m being forced to. I’m resigning, as a teacher and as a hero. I’m going to retake the qualification exams and reexamine who Midnight should be going forward. Until then… I don’t deserve to be a hero. And I don’t deserve to be a teacher.
83* MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes: Subverted When Present Mic was in the clutches of the Nomu instead of his life flashing before his eyes he saw the faces and heard the voices of his loved ones
84* NotADate: This is what Kirishima tells himself when he and Katsuki go to an owl cafe together
85Ironically when Izuku and Hitoshi refer to this outing a date Katsuki doesn’t correct either of them

93-->Pika Pika Chuuuu (Kaminari): I feel like I somehow obsorbed the info through osmosis
94-->Pony Tail (Momo): to be perfectly honest, I can’t remember how I came to know.
95-->That Fucking Chicken (Tokoyami): It was a secret?
96* OnlyFriend: Midoriya and Bakugo are each other's only friends until they meet Shinso shortly before entering UA. In middle school they were outcasts, Midoriya because he is Quirkless and Bakugo because he's "a troublemaker and potential villain".
97* ParentalFavoritism: Even though Aizawa and Hisashi aren’t their actual parents [[spoiler:atleast until they legally become katsuki's secondary parents.]]
98 it’s clear to everyone that between Izuku and Katsuki the latter is the favorite, not that Izuku minds anyway.
99* ParentalNeglect: Mitsuki and Masaru Bakugo have little presence in their son's life and let him wander the streets without a care. Katsuki spends more time at Midoriya and Aizawa's house than his own. He calls Inko "Not-Mom", Aizawa "Dadzawa", and Present Mic "Papa Mic", implying he sees them as his parents more than his biological parents.

103* PuppyDogEyes: Eight year old Katsuki uses these to get Aizawa to tell him and Izuku his hero name
104* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Aizawa gives one to All Might over the phone on the way to see Yamada at the hospital
105-->Aizawa: You imbecilic selfish bastard! Are you really so full of yourself that you had to prioritize your own swollen ego over a mission that you were specifically told was of uttermost importance? You don’t deserve your titles and you don’t deserve your positions. You’re nothing but a child with blinders on, unable to see past your own ambitions, and now my – now Hizashi might…
106* RockPaperScissors: Hitoshi, Katsuki, and Shoto play this to decide who bunks with whom in a hotel room with two beds. This confuses Shoto as he has absolutely no idea what rock-paper-scissors even is and is just following the other two’s lead.
107* SecurityBlanket: Aizawa gives Katsuki a scarf after he interrupts his ‘suicide attempt’, and afterward Katsuki wears it as much as possible
108** Aizawa describes Izuku himself as a security blanket to Katsuki.

119* TheTimeTravellersDilemma: Bakugo has a breakdown when he realizes that since he's changed the future, his version of Kirishima may never exist.
120* ThrowingTheFight: Near the end of the obstacle race at the Sports Festival Todoroki opts to walk the rest of the way even though other students are surpassing him and barely makes it to round two, he comes in 41st place and the cutoff is 42.
121** After Izuku punches Katsuki once in the final round of the sports festival, he is horrified that he knocked out a tooth and could have potentially broken his neck Which causes him to stop fighting back against Katsuki and even tries to just run out of bounds
122* WhenSheSmiles: Being surrounded by all of his friends after they cheered him on during the obstacle race causes Todoroki to break out a small rare smile, making his friends do a double take
123* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: After Midnight uses her quirk to sedate Katsuki and ties him to the pole for the award ceremony of the Sports Festival the general public is split on whether this is the right choice of action. The people that are on Midnight’s side are also calling for Katsuki’s expulsion and placing the entirety of the blame on him. Which is something Midnight can’t get behind as even she knows she was at least partially in the wrong.
