Summary
Suffering from a genetic defect that slowly turned her deaf over the years and reliant on hearing implants, seventeen year old Eleonora Gilbert has been living in her twin sister's shadows all her life, never feeling like she can make anyone proud at all. All of that changes, however, when she gets kidnapped one day and thrown into the path of four men that are ready to lay the world to her feet. Suddenly, Eleonora finds herself getting entangled in a web of love, desire and supernatural secrets that turn her entire world upside down, but on the other hand, might finally give her what she's been longing for all her life.

Summary
When Apollo is banished, the Fates interfere. Instead of falling in a dumpster, they send him back in time, with no memories and no powers, back in the womb - the womb of Mary Grayson. Dick Grayson grows up, and eventually regains his memories. The fates had claimed he had a task to complete - but how can he complete it if he doesn't know what it is? And what was the point in sending him back just to remember?
Whatever it is, Dick knows one thing for sure: he's not going to give up his family. Any of his family. (Screw the laws. Dick is going to be the best dad ever.)

Summary
Hermione has her dream job as an Unspeakable in the Time Chamber. During a collaboration with the Death Chamber she is accidentally sent to the past.
A minor setback, if you must.
Of course, she will be back in her own time before anyone can notice. So far, she hasn’t taken a single day off work and plans to keep it that way.
There is only one tiny problem; she is trapped in another witch's body, and their past keeps getting in the way of Hermione’s path to the future.
Or
Sylvia Selwyn was known for being a meek and quiet witch that hid away in the shadows. Boring, some would call her, including her betrothal, or more correctly; ex-betrothal.
All the students at Hogwarts are shocked to see her back after summer with fire in her eyes and a renewed spirit.
Gone is the quiet girl, and no one is as shocked as her ex-betrothal, who thought he saved himself from a dull marriage with an even duller witch.

Summary
“I had scoliosis,” Peter whispered, not looking away from where they’d heard the metal snap. He had gone pale. Bucky was sure he was a few shades lighter, himself. “That’s… that’s what I was gonna say before."
“Yeah?” Bucky asked. He loosened his grip on Peter’s shoulder, but didn’t take his hand away.
“My back still hurts sometimes,” Peter explained quietly. “But that might be because of the swinging. Hard to find a strong enough chiropractor to crack it, you know? Maybe… maybe two thousand tons of concrete would do it, though.” Bucky leveled his gaze at the kid. Peter looked back at him, swallowing hard.
“Let’s call that Plan B, okay?” Bucky suggested.
“Yeah, okay,” Peter mumbled.
---
Or, Peter gets caught in the collapse of a parking garage with a (mildly) concussed Bucky Barnes, and has a nice get-to-know-you sesh with our favorite super soldier while waiting for Tony to find a safe way get them out. Super chill, right? Everything's fine. Oh- and he's been impaled by two rods of rebar and can't move without risking bleeding out. That... complicates things.

Summary
and, it’s - well -
trinity knows she can. she’s not just a medical student, she’s an ex-gymnast, one who one-upon-a-time had an olympic level future.
so she knows that she can. and right now, it’s looking like she should - because the patient is currently trying to beat the shit out of whittaker, security has been called but they’re not being quick about it, and if anyone else tried to interfere they’d probably get knocked flat on their ass and end up a patient, too.
trinity can reach him faster than security can, since they’d been called to the waiting room to deal with something not too long ago.
so she does.
aka LET TRINITY SANTOS DECK SOMEONE
(a patient enters the ER and starts causing problems. santos doesn’t take kindly to this 6’5 body-builder type trying to flatten her roommate) -

Summary
She didn’t catch it before, and she lost someone she loved. Santos would have to live with that guilt for the rest of her life. No way in hell would she let it happen twice.
Abbot glanced at her again, and this time Santos stared him down.
Good fucking luck with that, asshole.
He was trapped on this bitch of an earth just like the rest of them. Trinity was going to make damn sure of it.
...
When Santos becomes convinced that Abbot has moved from passively suicidal to active suicide risk, she takes matters into her own hands. She refuses to see another friend die.

Summary
Things have been good, lately.
Trinity has been good. She likes going to work—likes the thrill of particularly difficult cases, likes the easy back-and-forth she’s starting to build with her coworkers, even likes arguing with Langdon. She likes her little apartment and she likes that she gets to share it with Dennis. (It’s way cleaner, now, and she eats real food half the time. And she has something to do in the evenings other than think about everything she’s lost).
Things have been good.
She should’ve fucking known what would happen if she let her guard down.
~~~
Trinity is cornered on her way home from work. She gets out of it with a stab wound and a whole new wave of old trauma. (And of course, her least favorite coworker is the only one there to talk her down.)
