    Summary

    George's bright smile vanishes, replaced by a frosty facade of politeness. "Well. I guess I'll see you on the top step Sunday, then?"

    His tone still rings sharp with sarcasm. It fills Max with absurd glee.

    "Will you be rooting for me in the stands?"

    George huffs and pulls a VIP paddock pass from his coat pocket, the lanyard tangled between his long fingers. "Definitely not."

    or—

    Max doesn't intend to spend his weekend riling up Lewis's model friend—it just sort of happens. That's how it all begins.

    Summary

    14 years have passed since Tony Stark's life was sent reeling over the disappearance of his daughter just before her first birthday; before he'd been sent an email to say his one night stand was pregnant, he'd been a man with nothing left to give except the selfish addiction to booze; the year after, rock bottom was the most humbling part. Ever since, he's spent his days clawing his way out of addiction.

    The universe was reminding him he couldn't have good in his life - punishing him for ever believing otherwise, but to take it out on a baby who probably never lived to see the light of day again was cruel.

     

    Peace is a foreign concept to Penny Parker. She doesn’t have that fire in her eyes anymore and everyone around her knows it; she’s grief and rage and not much else. She stopped being surprised a long time ago when it came to people leaving, because for all that she is, she knows she’s never been enough to make anyone stay, and there’s a nauseating ache in knowing that.

     

    Bucky Barnes is stuck trying to find the version of himself he lost somewhere along the way. He’ll never be who everyone expects him to be.

    He’s proved wrong when memories revisit him over the course of two months.

    Summary

    Tony looks at the webbing appraisingly once more and makes an extremely impulsive decision, one that could change the course of both their lives.

    “Would you like a job here, Penny?”

    Instead of jumping in joy or thanking him profusely like most people do when he offers them a job, Penny just looks confused.

    “I already work here,” she says.

    Tony stares at her blankly.

     

    Or, in which Tony gets an intern, Natasha gets a hobby, and Penny gets a new family (a real one this time.)

    Summary

    “Nanami,” says Tsumiki. “It’s Megumi. I can’t stop the bleeding.”

    ...

    Okkotsu Yuuta blows up a school with the power of love, meets Gojo's kids, launches his career in organized crime, and figures out how to want to be alive.

    More or less in that order.

    Summary

    “Petya,” Papa sighed, exasperated. He wiped his hand down his face, then dropped it and looked back at his son. “What’s wrong? Bad dream?”

    Peter wished he could say that it was. Let his dad keep thinking that he was the nice little boy who never did anything bad, except for the times he was forced to. But he was bad now, and that realization caused a lump to grow in his throat.

    “There’s something wrong with me,” Peter gasped.

    ***

    It had been years since they were rescued. Peter grew older, became thin, sad, and violent. But violence was good. Violence maintained order. Order prevented chaos. Chaos had no purpose, unlike Peter, whose purpose, like violence, maintained order. And some people have to die to preserve that order. Dying is just their purpose. Peter was choosing to fulfill his.

    (or: Peter’s struggling, Bucky’s overprotective, the worst video goes viral on twitter, John Walker is an empathetic asshole, Valentina tries to control the narrative, and Sam saves the day)
