Summary
The moon was bright tonight. Brighter than he thinks he's ever seen it. The moonlight shined a direct path across the yard, pointing towards the freight shed.
His priority was in there.
A fic in which Porter tried to solve Hydra's wackass medical problems, while also simultaneously dealing with Slick and his relationship problems.
Also know as the sequel to Priorities.

Summary
"At first Joule wasn’t sure if she was going to get on with Volta. When she’d first been brought in, all the others were much further along. But Joule, Joule was new, she was fresh meat, she was the last link in the chain. And if she didn’t fit? It would be quicker to dispose of her and find her replacement then try and have all of the other’s bend to accept her over time."
Or, Joule learns what it's like to be electric.

Summary
“I read in an article just now,” Sherlock drew himself up all-knowingly. “That bonds can be strengthened when giving compliments.”
“I like our bond well enough as it is, thank you very much,” John retorted snippishly, taking an indignant sip of tea.
“Not the point,” Sherlock dismissed him with an airy wave of a hand. “Just answer the question. Am I attractive?”

Summary
It wouldn't be the first time the inevitability of things hurt someone Sherlock cared about.
It wouldn't be the last time he wasn't able to stop it - to predict what would happen, let his mind piece together a crime scene before it turned more deadly than it already was.
If not every time, if only this one instance - he, at least, should have been able to stop Watson from opening that door.

Summary
During a case, Watson forcefully takes a long walk off a short balcony. Winds up with a concussion and a broken arm for his trouble. Ow. He mostly figures that Sherlock will show the minimum level of sympathy, more concerned that his investigative partner's off the table for the next little while. However, when Mariana gets a call from the hospital, she arrives to find a near catatonic Sherlock Holmes in his hospital room.

Summary
Spider-Man is a relatively new, controversial vigilante, and Johnny has a crush the size of the Empire Building. The Four - operating under the assumption that Spidey is an adult - do not approve.
“I just happen to think Spider-Man's cool,” Johnny says, matter-of-factly. “A hero can think another hero is cool without making it weird. I admire his aloofness. And his badass-ness.”
“His aloofness,” Ben repeats, chuckling into his mug of beer. It’s roughly the size of Johnny’s head. “Yeah, sure, I bet that’s all your admire, right?”

Summary
Pearl had become aware that Rusty had feelings for Hydra. For some trains, this would cause a major relationships problems, but not for them. Or at least, it's not entirely a problem. It's just that none of the three of them really know how to make it work.
Best to ask some experts.

Summary
And then she looks up. Red, but not a flashy, dramatic engine livery; instead, a more subtle paintjob, chipped and flaked from work. A freight uniform, if she had to guess, made for utility and ease rather than presentation, and as soon as she glances up, she looks back down again at rough, dirt-stained hands delicately helping clear up the remains of her lunch.
“They’re horrible, that lot,” the truck continues, faint smile on his youthful face as he happily picks through the dirt, “nothin’ they like to do more than makin’ newcomers feel pathetic - you were real brave standin’ up to them like that.”
~~
The four times Dinah was helped out by Porter, and the one time he finally let her help him.

Summary
A sea of familiar looking faces grinned up at Dinah. A much younger Momma stood at the far end, her brothers Rusty and Dustin close by. The hopper had his hand on Flat-top’s shoulder, who looked slightly reluctant to be included. Next was an older, proud-looking steamer with his arm wrapped around a sleeping car’s waist – that would be Poppa and Memphis Belle; Dinah recalled seeing a picture of them with a baby Lumber hanging in the freight shed’s living room. Then came the three Rockies and Ashley and Buffy, each of whom she had met once or twice in passing on previous visits. And then at the other far end was Di, bright and warm and lovely as ever, and just to her right, his arm wrapped around her shoulders, was a caboose.

Summary
Because maybe, in another world that she dreams about sometimes, she’s curled up in bed with Rusty right now, her books discarded in favour of the gentle rhythm of an engine lulling her to sleep. A warm, pitted hand is curled around her waist, gentle breath sonorous as Rusty holds her close, and that guilt flows away into contentment as she gets comfortable against his chest. Sometimes, Hydra’s there too, holding her hand across Rusty’s waist as they mutter in their sleep against Rusty’s shoulder, and in those dreams her core couldn’t feel fuller with love-
“Pearl? You alright over there?”
~~
In which Rusty loses the final, and Pearl is left to pick up the pieces.
