    Summary

    Thirteen months.

    Over a year since Valentina de Fontaine decided the Avengers name was worth resurrecting—and almost as long since Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson started arguing about how to deal with it. But the argument wasn’t an easy one, and progress was… slow.

    Slower, in fact, than their tour of New York's cafés, confusing patrons with what looked like an epic, deeply uncomfortable staring contest.

    They'd figure it out eventually. And it didn't matter how long it took, because it was nobody's problem but their own.

    Until it isn't.

    Because who better to criticise than the guy who practically broke the multiverse?

    Summary

    Peter flaps a hand in the air, grasping for words. All he’s left with is the thought that’s been running through his head all night: “There was this dilapidated building out near Hell’s Kitchen, rotted all the way through, and I kept staring at it and thinking, This thing could go down at the smallest breeze.” Peter gestures at the roof over their head. “Even this apartment could go down easily enough.”

    May rubs his hand. “Buildings don’t just collapse, Peter. Did something happen to make you worried about that?”

    Peter shakes his head. He doesn’t ever give her details. He doesn’t tell her about the intimate, gnawing kind of horror that came with being trapped beneath a collapsed building and knowing no one was coming to save you; the way it felt like his bones were being ground into the damp cement; how he’d felt small and very soft, and how his thoughts keep going over the components of a building—rusted metals, long nails strong enough to jut through cement—and how that might’ve pierced him if he’d moved wrong, like a fork pulled through slow cooked meats.

    Summary

    In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.

    Their best isn't perfect.

    ~

    “Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”

    Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –

    Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

    Summary

    Billy distracts himself by massaging his legs, wanting to make sure everything is warmed up. Someone will likely get taken out by a muscle cramp. Billy won’t be that person. He digs his fingers into his calves with a measured intensity, rubbing his thumb from the back of his heel all the way up to the back of his knee. He focuses on getting his body ready and mind in the right headspace. There’s just one issue.

    He can feel the heavy weight of someone staring at him.

    He lifts his gaze up back towards that group of people from before, the one with the guy eating the clementines and the other man with the cross necklace. They all seem invested in a conversation with the exception of the blond man to the far right.

    He has haunted eyes.
    * * * * * * *
    OR Billy Stebbins is prepared to win the Long Walk. He just wasn't expecting there to be a man with haunted eyes that would cause such a distraction. Inspired by the Day 2 prompt for The Long Walk Rare Pairs Week: Devotion.
