Summary
Billy Hargrove knows how to survive. He knows how to take a hit. He’s been taught that lesson well. What he doesn’t know how to be gentle.
When Max came into his life, he had made a quiet promise he never named. For a long time keeping her safe meant slammed doors and sharp words.
But since moving to Hawkins, between school hallways, late-night movies, and bruised knuckles, a line is drawn: Max behind it, Billy in front. And Max learns the difference between anger meant to hurt and anger meant to keep her safe. And as Billy understands how to stand between Max and the world, Max learns how to trust the space he makes for her.
Billy learns how to care without becoming the thing he hates.

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Oww, Peter thought blandly as he shifted- no, scratch that, tried to shift- onto his back but quickly decided that wasn’t in his best interest. Voices, both his own and not, swam in his head like a wave beating against his forehead.
“They’re coming here because of me, right? Because I’m Peter Parker? So cast a new spell, make everyone forget who Peter Parker is. Make everyone forget me.”
“It wouldn’t be enough. Your very presence would destabilize this universe.”
Peter finally managed to roll himself over onto his back, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through his spine at the movement enough to sit up and look around. He was in an alley which thankfully held no occupants save himself and the trash littering the ground.
“But I can… I can send you away. To a place where there is no Peter Parker. No Spiderman.”
***
Also known as:
The probably- definitely- overdone 'Peter Parker goes to Gotham' trope, but I write what I want to read, so eh.
Just a warning, please read the tags as I’ve been told that this is one of the darker fics that people have come across in the fandom.
Completed 😊

Summary
Peter scrambled out of bed, his limbs stiff as he went along with his instincts. When he emerged from his bedroom, wild-eyed and half-awake, he could hear someone rapping their knuckles against the front door, calling for him; it was so weak that he barely heard it, and it was only thanks to his attuned senses that he picked up on the knocking at all.
Heart in his throat, Peter padded towards the door and yanked it open.
It was Jean. Her red hair was disheveled and her face covered in scrapes. Her complexion was pale, far paler than usual, and she was leaning against the doorway as she clutched at her midsection.
⬡⬢⬡
— OR: Peter took his late mentor's warnings for granted. Now that he had someone to care for the same way Mr. Stark had cared for him, he finally understood what Mr. Stark had been trying to tell him.
