Summary
The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.
Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

My personal post-Endgame induced pit of denial. You'll find nothing but happiness and sunshine with the occasional touch of angsty movie spoilers and an obscene amount of cavity inducing fluff in here.

Tony offers to sacrifice his life in order to defeat Thanos. Nebula refuses.

Being kidnapped after snapping half the world back into existence is annoying on its own. Being kidnapped by accident? Well, that’s just rude.

Tony and Steve bond over their shared trauma with terrible jokes and even worse baking. -

Summary
AU Ragnarok ending, Bruce P.O.V.
Where Asgard is not destroyed and Bruce tries to navigate life on another planet immediately after Hela's rampage while Thor tries to be the warrior king he thinks his people need and deal with whatever mess his brother's undoubtedly terrible rule has left.
Except... Loki wasn't entirely terrible?
Bruce has only ever heard about Asgard and Loki from Thor, and has heard much about how his people love the Thunderer.
Now he meets someone who does NOT love Thor, and hears a very different take on events and Loki than he ever has before. Why DID Loki invade Midgard and steal the throne of Asgard anyway? Could it really be true there was more to it all than simple jealousy and a rotten nature as he has believed all this time? Does he even dare to ask?(The action mostly happens in the background, this is Bruce P.O.V. helping out the healers in the aftermath.)
XXX
Bruce doesn't know what to think about Thor's little brother.

Summary
She wishes she could go back and change things. If she had truly been focused on doing the right thing as Director of NCIS, then she should have focused on nurturing Tony.
Was that what she would do differently?
