    Summary

    In the booming Asian community of San Francisco in the early 00s, Denji and Power Hayakawa are twins failed by the child welfare system, and are now being raised by their world-weary cousin and his partner. Denji yearns for a girlfriend, but struggles to connect with girls his age and searches for love in older women, which gets him into trouble. Power doesn’t know anything but trouble, and can’t figure out why her brain compels her to act so impulsively all the time.

    Asa and Yoru Mitaka are identical twins living with their strict and overbearing mother. Asa was diagnosed as autistic when she was little, much to the embarrassment of her family. Asa received behavioural therapy as a child, but it made little difference and Asa finds herself withdrawn into her own world. Outgoing Yoru is fiercely protective of her twin and will do what she needs to do to assure her sister’s comfort.

    The two sets of twins have had wildly different upbringings, but maybe each pair is just what the other needs.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne was never meant to be part of Selina’s clean slate. Then again, neither were a circus boy, a street rat or a rich kid.

    For a girl who didn’t like strings, Selina found herself getting attached.

    An AU without superheroes, where Bruce and Selina finally get their heads out of their asses and learn how to form solid relationships (which they do by adopting a bunch of boys with dark hair and blue eyes together).

    Summary

    “We don’t talk about the Blaze of Sophomore Year,” Peter replies stoically, lowering his voice in pitch.

    “Yeah we do!” Ned calls from the front door. He makes his way over, shoes discarded by the door. “Cindy still thinks we should’ve died.”

    “Cindy would be correct, if my loser here didn’t have weird, heightened senses,” MJ replies, crossing her arms.

    “‘My loser’? Aw, babe,” Peter coos.

    MJ squints at him, trying not to laugh. “Married, Peter. Five years. Almost six.”

    Summary

    Tony's having a hard time remembering how he crossed the distance from the grassy knoll to Peter, and he can't really recollect how his hands ended up on either side of the kid's face. Before he knows it, he's gripping the kid's shoulders just as tightly as Rhodey had gripped his own, his hands trembling. "Pete, kid, c'mon. Say something. If you don't say something I'm gonna seriously lose it here. Don't fucking do this."

    A pair of headphones rattle around Pete's neck. Tony's shaking him.

    Maybe he'll come to, like a half-drowned puppy you pull out of the gutter.

    Then just as suddenly he's not shaking him, because Quill is prying his hands back from the kid protectively, and Strange's palm is pushing Tony's shoulder to put some distance between him and the boy. Everyone knows Peter is a special case, for him. A special mission set aside to complete. He promised May. He promised Peter. He held him while he disintegrated. He washed him down a sink and apologized in multitudes. Someone seethes, "What do you mean, he didn't come back? What do you mean?" and he recognizes it belatedly as his own voice.

    *******

    Everyone comes back, when the snap is undone. Or, well — almost everyone.
