Summary
Apo heaved a sigh, and Viking waited to hear the explanation of just precisely how stupid he was and how he was gonna get frostbite and lose all his fingers and wouldn't even be able to scroll TikTok anymore, but instead she used her teeth to yank off her left glove and shoved it into his chest without looking at him.
"Here," she grunted. "Now we'll both half freeze."
Viking thought he might cry, which would really suck with how cold and dehydrated he was. He didn't trust himself to say anything without bursting into tears, so for once he said nothing and just tugged on the glove and pressed his shoulder against hers as hard as he could. Her bare hand found his and he clung back with all the strength in his frozen fingers.
It could be worse, he thought, staring into the fire until his eyes stung for other reasons. At least we have each other.

Summary
On the other side was a precipitous drop into — nothing. For a moment Legundo wondered if he'd actually fallen, and was looking at the sky instead; but he was upright, and yet the sky was below them. He stamped a booted foot, hard, on the wooden planks under his feet, and his stomach dropped at the hollow sound.
"Where — " he began in a shaky voice. "Mig, where is the ground?"
-
When Legundo died, he hoped for oblivion, and expected torment; what he got was neither. Instead, he finds himself in a world where islands hang in the sky, and strangers wearing the faces of his dead friends treat him like someone they know. Finding his footing is a difficult task, and figuring out how to reverse what's been done even more so, and there's something wrong with the man who claims to be his partner...
He should have known better than to think he could rest.

Summary
When Elle was nine years old, she dared her best friend to follow her into the woods, and he died.
That's how she remembered it: the eyes in the dark, the moving shadows, the flash of fangs, and screaming, both of them screaming — and then clutching Avid to her chest, half-carrying, half-dragging, his blood soaking through both their clothes. And the whole way home, thinking, He's dead, he's dead, he's dead.
-
Elle and Avid, through her eyes, after one end and before the other.

Summary
"Well, what do we have here," Owen's voice pierced the silence, deceptively light with that ever-present undercurrent of menace, and sent a jolt of fear down Avid's spine. "A little bat, stuck in a cage."
He lowered himself with leonine grace onto his haunches, bringing himself down to Avid's eye level, and gazed at him through the bars. The white hair was still a shock, every time; so different from the nondescript dark-headed lumberjack who had teased him on his first day in Oakhurst. Red eyes narrowed at the corners, studying him like a particularly vexing puzzle. "Hello, Avid."
-
Avid locks himself in the vampire holding cell. Owen pays him a visit.

Summary
"It's not him I'm worried about missing out on things, dummy." Marm leaned over to flick him in the forehead, right between his eyes. "To be honest, I thought you'd change your mind about hiding. Aren't you lonely, Avid?"
The building they were standing in - plank for plank a replica of his Jungle Kingdom home - was an obvious enough answer as to make the very question ridiculous. Of course Avid was lonely; he missed his friends, desperately. He missed Doovid, his wayward partner; He missed Vintage and Ruby and Viking and Trog and he even missed Milkman. But there was no fishing his friends out of the void - and he certainly didn't miss himself.
-
Marm thinks Avid is silly for hiding from the other version of him; Avid is very bad at winning an argument with her.

Summary
Ben promised to help Kaine find a cure for his condition, and he has one idea for where to start: the lab where he and Seward Trainer worked and kept data on Ben himself. But the lab holds Ben something he wasn't prepared for - an apology and a goodbye from the man who saved and betrayed him.
-
The computer beeped. Identity confirmed: Reilly, Benjamin, it read out in a robotic voice.
Ben froze from grumpily inspecting his healed hand and looked back up at the screen. "Uh. What?"
Commencing playback.

Summary
The Life Series: the world's biggest smash hit reality competition show. Utilizing cutting edge respawn, augmented reality, and memory-altering technology, a group of ordinary people enter an arena to compete to see who will be the last man standing. Five seasons in, the cast has been catapulted into stardom, and having their lives and relationships temporarily ripped away from them has become routine - but returning to normal life is still an adjustment...
Skizz wrestles with what his actions in the games mean for his relationship with his brother; Gem is doing just fine after her first season, even though no one seems to expect her to; Grian, the showrunner, agonizes over his responsibilities to the cast.

Summary
"You all right, dude?" Skizz asked, after a beat of quiet in which Impulse did not immediately volunteer what was bothering him.
"Yeah, I'm cool," Impulse said automatically, and then added quickly, because he was feeling way too exposed up here, and highly aware of his precarious position up on the wall, and how easy it would be to be overheard by someone wandering by below them, "You wanna take a walk with me?"
It was almost dark, and their neighbors in every direction were enemies of the Red Banners; it was an inane request. But Skizz just said, "Sure," and held out a hand for Impulse to help him up.
-
Impulse just wants to stay alive. The time has come to leave Dogwarts for the Crastle, and the biggest obstacle standing in his way is his best friend, who would see through any lie he tells. It's a risk to ask for his help, but it's one he has to take.
Skizz is as loyal as they come; he would never dream of turning against his king or brothers in arms. But when Impulse asks him to be an accomplice to his betrayal, Skizz is forced to choose between loyalty to his friend and loyalty to his king... and the choice just might break him.

Summary
The last thing he remembered was splitting up from Tango, and then being cornered by that Enderman and realizing he was about to die – that they were both about to die.
Instinctively, Jimmy flipped over his hand to check the heart etched onto the palm. Last he saw, it had been glowing red, an ever-present reminder of his (their) impending mortality. Now it was gray and faded, like whatever magic powered it had gone out.
That was… strange. He hadn't considered how it might change after he'd died his third death. To be fair, he hadn't thought there was anything after his third death.
Where was he?
-
Jimmy dies. And then he wakes up.
He finds himself in a strange world where his soulmate hates him, his friends are his enemies, his enemies want to be his friends - and nobody has any idea how they got there or why.
Now he has to navigate a tangled web of foreign grudges under the looming threat of the so-called 'Red King' while he makes new friends, tries to connect with this bitter, traumatized version of Tango, and do something he's never been very good at: survive.
-
AU where each season is its own universe, and one version of each lifer wakes up after their game...

Summary
A mug clunked firmly onto the island beside her head, and chair legs scraped against the floor as Domino took a seat beside her. With a Herculean effort, Sage dragged her head up and pulled the mug towards her, breathing in the bitter fumes. Loathe as she was to admit it, it did make her feel a little better.
The effect was ruined when she glanced at Domino out of the corner of her eye and saw the expectant look on her face. Sage tipped her head back with a groan, closing her eyes. "So everybody knows."
"Mutants are notorious gossips," Domino said, not unsympathetically. "And you picked a fight with Charley Xavier in the middle of the Green Lagoon."
"It wasn't the middle," Sage groused. "And it wasn't a fight."
--
As a child, Sage was made a spy instead of an X-Man and left to wonder why Xavier had rejected her. As an adult, a combination of alcohol, bad timing, and chance encounters forces her to confront the lasting impact her time in the Hellfire Club had on her, and finally make her peace with the past.

Summary
"Guess what I just did," Bobby said, ignoring him to reach around and get a finger on the side of the bowl. With a little concentration, frost spread out from the point of contact across the bowl and the ice cream inside refroze. Warren begrudgingly lowered his shoulder to give him another bite in exchange for services rendered.
"What," he said flatly, elbowing Bobby until he slid off of him and onto the stool beside.
"I got Scott to play a game," he said archly. "He's outside being, like, really intense about horseshoes."
--
Scott starts playing horseshoes, and he just doesn't think to stop. His friends don't notice, until they do.

Summary
There was something wrong with Ben. Again. There was always something wrong with Ben. And that meant people were getting hurt.
"I know you have a… complicated history," Peter said, and Kaine snapped back to attention. "But you also have, I dunno, a connection. If anyone can get through to him, it's you."
Ha. As if he'd ever had any kind of positive impact on the life of Ben Reilly.
"So will you come?" Peter asked with tender hope in his voice.
"No," Kaine said, and hung up the phone.
-
Peter, desperate for a way to get Ben back to his old self in the wake of the Chasm fiasco, calls in a reluctant Kaine - and less reluctant Aracely - to help. Luckily, they might be just the thing he needs.

Summary
She pursed her lips. "Teresa Parker," she said. "I'm his sister… sort of."
Kaine stared at her for a beat. Then he threw his head back and laughed, a short, barking laugh. Oh, now that was just about the most Peter Parker thing he'd ever heard.
Teresa furrowed her brow. "What's so funny?"
He snorted and shook his head, the corner of his mouth curling up into a wry smile. "Kaine Parker," he said. "I'm his brother. Sort of."
-
Kaine breaks into Peter's apartment looking for him, only to find someone else has had the same idea - and it turns out she has more in common with him than either of them know. Teresa doesn't trust him... but with Pete nowhere to be found and only hours until dangerous weapons hit the New York City underground, they have little choice but to work together to prevent it.

Summary
After Kaine brings him back, Ben spends a night at the Parker house.
(Sequel to Paradigm Shift, but easily stands alone.)
-
Ben huffed and leaned back on his hands, tilting his head up towards the night sky. His expression cracked open to reveal a raw, desperate longing. "Have you ever thought," he said, slowly, hesitantly, not looking at Peter, "about what it would've been like, if we'd grown up as brothers for real?"
