Summary
Arthur is gone.
It’s nothing the gang ain’t accustomed to. But a peace talk with Colm sounded like a prelude to catastrophe, despite all of Dutch’s placating and Micah’s cajoling.
And Hosea Matthews will have none of it.

Summary
"Got a tip," Sean said. "Good one. Some of O'Driscoll's boys are fixing a move on some sort of hidden treasure, old Plantation savings stashed in a manor, something like that. Something to do with those Lemoyne Raiders pissing all over Scarlett Meadows. Just the sort of Confederate gold we're out here looking for, isn't it?"
(John and Arthur go robbing O'Driscolls. It does not go well.)

Summary
Tony Stark was meant to follow a plan so that, despite being an omega, he'd lead Stark Industries.
Tony Stark didn't expect to be an omega who ends up in the early 40s and meeting a strong Bucky Barnes and a tiny Steve Rogers who doesn't take shit from anyone.
Tony Stark understands that he'll never get what he wants in the end. Each day he's pulled away and each night he comes back, leaving a constant loop of uncertainty.
Tony Stark was never meant to be happy. Until he was.

Summary
What if Tony decided in Siberia that he couldn't just go home? He was used to being the scapegoat, but this time the cost would be more than he could pay.
Ross would have the ammunition he needed to get Iron Man under his control, and what he'd do with the tech didn't bear thinking about.
Tony decided to use Protocol Pass The Torch. He'd be fine. A penniless fugitive's life would make a nice change of pace. Everything would be peachy keen.
(Tony miscalculated the pull the world had on him. He also miscalculated how many people would join him. Ultimately, Thanos underestimated him.)

Summary
Tony can't get himself back from Siberia, and it takes the night for him to be rescued. While waiting to see if he'll die of hypothermia, he realises something for the first time. It wasn't that he failed because he hadn't tried hard enough. He had failed because he had tried too hard. His so-called team-mates had formed the habit of blaming Tony for everything because he had let them. He had shouldered the blame, let them attack him without consequence, and cleaned up after their mess, all so they could continue to feel self-righteous in peace. But it wasn't just him they were attacking, and saving the world didn't give them a free pass to be the very bullies that Steve claimed to fight against.
Tony woke up in hospital, still sustained by the relief of his realisation. Things sucked, but they would get better. He was Tony Stark, and no challenge was too much for him. It was odd how much easier it was to plot when he actually did intend ways to manipulate the ex-Avengers into falling in line. And since that was what they seemed convinced he was doing all along, they didn't deserve a warning that it would now be true.

Summary
Aetherians are a technologically advanced race that live in floating cities above the clouds. They have always considered themselves better than the creatures that live in the dirt - including homo sapiens. As such, they have no problem housing a few in their zoos.
Castiel, a Sapien Sympathizer (a minority among Aetherians), doesn’t believe that homo sapiens should be in a zoo. They may be primitive, but they are far too sentient to be caged. This only becomes more clear to him the better he comes to know the Zoo’s newest, and youngest male, addition: Specimen Designation 1-M-7.
The longer he works with 1-M-7, the stronger Castiel’s convictions become. And, one day, he’s going to find a way to set him free.

What if, instead, he was kept in Vergesson under Ikithon's spell, only able to try to break himself from it once every thirty days? The Mighty Nein proceed as they had, followed by the cat familiar that had helped Nott escape from a prison cell and stuck with her ever since. Somehow, they still end up Heroes of the Dynasty and winding up before Emperor Dwendal for stopping Obann's attack on Rexxentrum.
And Ikithon still sets off their creep radars.

Summary
A figure from Lucien's past shows up to collect on an old arrangement. When Molly doesn't want to talk business, the stranger takes him and the Mighty Nein for himself instead.
Caleb is only just able to get Jester to safety in time. But when the rest of his friends fall victim to their captor's vampiric thrall, that leaves him trapped and alone against the twisted attentions and easy cruelty of a wizard more powerful than he's ever dreamed of being.
Jester struggles to understand her enemies and make a plan of attack. Her friends are counting on her to save them, even if some of them don't know it anymore, and so she is determined to be the light in the darkness for them and all the people of Tanner's Crossing.
With a little bit of magic and a little bit of research and a whole lot of determination as they fight their own battles, Caleb and Jester might just save their friends before they lose themselves in the bargain.

Summary
When Caleb gets very sick, the rest of the Nein take care of him. The fever draws some of Caleb's issues to the front, but if Beau can figure out how to use punching for medicinal purposes, she can figure out how to talk about feelings. Maybe. Caleb isn't used to being cared about, but sometimes if it's masked enough, he can navigate it anyway.

Summary
Whenever Caleb travels via familiar, he trusts the others to keep him safe. Mollymauk thinks the Mighty Nein take this responsibility too lightly. He’s right.
He knelt in front of the vulnerable wizard. It gave him satisfaction that the human fit neatly between his knees. If he’d wanted to make this short, he could have snapped the man's neck. Instead, he breathed. Something, the warmth or the smell, reached beyond the fey veil. The man stirred and gave a very slow blink, as one in the midst of a dream. His chin tipped up, gazing at the enemy looming over him with unseeing eyes, and in a soft, accented voice that Talisman remembered from the square, he asked, "Fjord?"
An actual sigh of pleasure slipped from his lips. It was too perfect. "No, my dear." He lifted two fingers, and in a voice of Power, he touched the man's temple. "Lock."

Summary
A fight with a reality bender and an overloaded Astral Pulse lands Robert and his Mechaman suit into a different universe altogether, one where his dad never died and Mechaman Astral was still in active duty.
It should be a kinder universe with one less tragedy, but it's not. Not when this universe's Robert had died young instead.

Summary
"There’s an after-school program that I think would do you some good. Like a club, sort of. You could meet some people like Nott.” Mr. Sol’s smile was wide and seemed genuine. “You seemed to get along well with him.”
“Oh.” Caleb wanted to protest, but he couldn’t. He didn’t need to meet people. He’d had people before, and it had done very little good. He was fine alone.
“I’ll give your parents a call and let them know, okay?”
“Ja. Okay.”
Mr. Sol called the people Caleb was staying with and told them about Zadash High’s “Behavioral Correction Program”. And Caleb left.It had only been a month since he’d left rehab and come to this school, and he was already being recommended for a troubled kid's group. So, overall, he was off to a shining start."
In which Caleb has a lot of trauma to work through, the Mighty Nein is A Lot To Handle (tm), and Caleb's parents are lowkey my favorite characters.
The first work in a shamelessly self indulgent, stupidly elaborate High School AU. Basically, the Mighty Nein are shoved into an after school program together. Slow burn bonding, angst, and probably cuddling to follow.

Summary
Robert struggled as much as he could as he gritted his feet, his wounds stretching and pulling. His entire body was screaming at him to stop, to take a break and stop moving just for a second. Still, he thrashed around the best he could and shouted words he didn’t even comprehend. Still, whatever fight Robert had left in eventually faded as his body ached and cried, his breathing becoming ragged as he was surrounded.
He was going to die.
This was it.
What was his father going to think of him now?
***
After the events of episodes five and six, instead of a housewarming party, the entire team stumble into Robert apartment...
