Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Bookmarker's Notes
He froze over in New York. He knows he did. And this, Sydney in his lap, hand on his face. This feels dangerously close to thawing out.
It’s like there’s some feeling deep in his chest, that was long ago beaten badly enough to crawl out the light completely, but is now, somehow, emboldened, and emerging from its hiding place.
———
“When I was twenty, and you used to come into that stupid diner, I burned so much food staring at you,” he says. “You, uh, you wore your hair natural back then, in those curls, I… I almost got fired, Syd. I was so fucking mesmerized. I could stare at you forever.”
“I was staring right back at you,” she says, with a small smile. “You knew that, didn’t you?”
“I thought you were annoyed the food was taking so long,” he says.

Summary
On a perfectly average Tuesday night – as far as any night can be called perfectly average anymore nowadays – the sky goes pitch black above Manhattan, a violent storm rattles the roofs, vivid blue and purple lightning bolts illuminate the clouds.
Once it is over, as suddenly as it began, news trickles in of difficult-to-explain phenomena occurring worldwide: The statue of liberty has changed color to a bright pink, an exact replica of the great wall of China has appeared across the Sahara desert, it rains feathers in Copenhagen for several hours, every single stapler on Sumba Island turns into a coat hanger, and Tony Stark wakes up from an impossible-to-wake-up-from coma.Bookmarked by probably_ren

Tony nods. “Meet Morgan’s pet sheep.”
“Goat!” Morgan says. She clambers over Pepper and presses her nose to the window, leaving a tiny foggy circle on the glass.
“It’s a llama,” Pepper corrects.
“That,” Peter says, “is an alpaca.”

Eddie gives that crooked, pretty grin. “See, I know this may come as a shock to you, kids, and it’s a lot to process, but your mom and I — we’re gonna give things another shot, for the sake of the family.”
“This is insane,” Lucas mumbles, and then looks up wide-eyed. “I mean– like, not insane in a– in a bad way, or anything, like, good insane? Or… neutral insane…”
“Don’t hurt yourself,” Max says.
Steve catches up. “Wait, why am I the mom?”
“You’re definitely the mom.”
“Isn’t that hetero– heteronominal? Heteronormal? Hetero–”
“Heteronormative,” Eddie finishes, rolling his eyes. “Don’t you hurt yourself either.”

“It’s Red Robin,” Tim corrected Batman, sounding a bit agitated. “But yes. I created several plans that focus around one of us getting sent to yet another dimension.” He turned and sent Kon a look.
“Hey,” Kon complained. “You were there too. And it was a different planet, not dimension.”
“You were the worst.” Tim said.
“Okay, like you were all sunshine and rainbows when you were running around in red, yellow, and green.” Kon rolled his eyes.
Or: Kon and Tim are sent to a different dimension, and yeah they kiss a bit and cause a little trouble, but they're engaged, who cares? Everyone. Everyone cares.

THE MOON LANDING IS REAL NOW: STEVE ROGERS IN SPACE, PROTECTING PLANET EARTH! And maybe finding love with a buxom space babe??
“Jesus Christ,” Sam mutters. “This Steve on the moon conspiracy is getting out of control.”
Except it turns out that it might not just be baseless conspiracy theory fodder for the tabloids. Not when Natasha has returned, alive and well, and certain that Steve, their Steve, will come back home too, if he hasn't become totally lost in the vastness of spacetime.

They meet Rocket, Thor, and the others in New Asgard, the better to avoid any awkward questions like “whose spaceship is this” and “wait, why are you going to the moon,” and “you need to clear that with like two dozen different agencies, you can’t just fly to the fucking moon.” Instead, they get reasonable but still difficult to answer questions like, “wait, why do you think Steve Rogers is on the moon?”

Summary
Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.
It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

“Seems like I’ve got a lot to thank the birds for, I guess,” murmurs Bucky.
“Hell yeah you do!” shouts a goose. “You better invite us to the wedding!”
And you know what, thinks Sam as he sits on the picnic blanket with Bucky, maybe he will.

Draco Malfoy is not a girl. In fact, no one in this fic is gender-swapped. Harry’s just really bad at picking up gender cues in the wizarding world.

“Anyway, that’s my son’s little girlfriend,” Lucy added in an afterthought.
Who was Lucy talking about? Harry was having trouble keeping up. Did Draco have an older brother?
“I thought Harry Potter was a boy,” said a large, squarely built Death Eater who Harry thought was probably McNair, the ministry executioner. “Isn’t Harry a boy’s name?”
“There’s no call for that,” Lucy said sharply. “Just because she’s a tomboy and wears her hair short. Some girls feel more comfortable wearing boys’ bathing outfits; there’s nothing wrong with that. Harry’s short for Harriet. Or something. I think it suits her.”

Summary
"You tell me my story to flatter me," The Darkling chuckled, amused. To Alina he said, "My sun, dearest, I could have just called you a muse."
But Inej, she continued, trying to keep the tremors at bay. "The flowers were geraniums, purple and sweet. Inherited from her mother, who she scarce got to see. And a knife he did offer, because human were they. Loss had left him jaded away. He had not much to give but a half of his soul, but with the knife he gave, she carved out a hole. For herself, in his heart, she began to reside, and when he saw her he felt again like a boy."
The Darkling leaned forward, in his seat. The curiosity behind his eyes an impossible feat. For a human to grab the attention, of the lord of the dead, was quite unheard of unless to the Fold you were sent.
Or, AU in which Inej is Orpheus, travelling to the Underworld and trying to convince the Darkling to return Kaz to her, gently assisted by her Sankta Alina, who is the only person the Darkling is willing to listen to.

So many times, she almost turned, and Kaz had to hold back a fear so grim. He always knew how to find her, but he had never taught her how to find him.
But Inej was nothing if not with faith, so indeed she shouldered on. Til her legs ached and her heart hurt, battered on and on.

Summary
It’s 2022, and James Potter is both single and depressed. But after a strange encounter with a psychic (?) involving psychedelics and discussions about the multiverse, James begins to have crazy dreams about a magic world. In one of these dreams, his desperate attempt to save a drowning boy somehow sends him careening into a dangerous and magical universe (circa 1979), stuck with none other than a skeptical Regulus Black as his guide. Chaos inevitably ensues.
Back in 2022, a different Regulus Black is once again estranged from his brother and therefore his brothers’ stupid friends, including James Potter. But after a ridiculous and infuriating run in with what Regulus believes to be the James Potter he knows (or used to know), Regulus is forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about the way the world works. Chaos once again inevitably ensues.
Or:
A Very Non-Magical James Potter from 2022 and a Very Magical James Potter from 1979 accidentally swap universes, and now must figure out how to get back to their own worlds. Oh, and Regulus Black is inextricably involved in both universes, which is obviously just a coincidence.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

“Yeah, you’ve never heard of that one?” Buck is failing miserably at the bit, little tufts of laughter slipping out through every word he tries to deadpan seriously.
“Can’t say I have, no.”
“I gotta teach you everything,” Buck’s barely there smile cracks open, “It’s obviously, Best Fire Fighter Friends Forever And Ever No Take Backs No Matter What.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“You would be so lucky to get to know him again, to have gotten to know him at all. He’s the most selfless, kind person I know, who’d do anything for me or my son. I don’t care whatever you’re holding over his head, because frankly you being out of his life means he gets to be more in mine, and if that makes me a terrible, selfish person then so be it. You didn’t deserve to know him. So if anything, I don’t feel bad for you. I just pity you.”
Taylor has gone very quiet, just watching him wide-eyed.
“You were also wrong about your diary being interesting enough to publish,” Eddie says. “It’s not, and you’re a bad writer.”
