Summary
When he was born, the World was not happy. It screamed at him and raged against his existence.
It wasn’t that the World did not want him there. The World liked him, for all that mattered. The World simply was not meant for him, and he was not meant for it, and there was nothing to be done about it.
Or; A study in how beings not made for a World struggle to find a place within in it and in each other, told through colours and names.

Summary
Dazai might be an asshole, but Chuuya had known him for long enough to be aware of the fact that if Dazai didn’t want to do something, he wouldn’t. He’d have just cancelled, not offered for a reschedule. And when the next message came through, Chuuya’s reassurances weren’t in vain.
or; Dazai isn't good at managing friendships and a relationship, and Chuuya is getting real tired of it
or; traumatised teenagers attempt healthy relationships, task failed successfully

Summary
Peter was, all things considered, quite a smart individual. He did well in school, was capable of making big decisions (with a remarkable amount of anxiety, but still) and juggled hiding his illegal vigilante activities from most people in his life with being a teenager. And yet, if you asked anyone who knew him well, they’d say that Peter Parker made some of the stupidest decisions they’d ever heard of.
~
Or; the one where Peter gets dysphoria, forgets that he's wearing his binder, and Daredevil is Very Concerned About This Child.

Summary
The Sokovia Accords did more to affect vigilantes, the enhanced and mutants than the average person would think, but they're all stubborn people. When they're told to stop being who they are - quite literally, in some cases - they join arms and spit in the faces of their opposition.
(This is, of course, between meeting every new player on the scene and pulling stupid shit in their day to day life. It's not normal, but they wouldn't trade it for anything,)

Summary
A man named Cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things:
Supernatural creatures exist, and most of them will hurt innocent civilians if he doesn't stop them; he has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; he keeps running into another hunter named Dean Winchester, who must be as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help Cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is.
For his part, Dean's still (not) dealing with Sam's departure to Stanford, and figures distracting himself with a bit of mystery and intrigue is as harmless as it gets, right? Right.
-
A three part series (with some side stories) that goes from pre-series into the end of season 3 (and beyond?) This 'verse asks two very important questions: what if Dean Winchester got a boyfriend, and what if Cas listened to Fiona Apple.- Words:

Summary
SHIELD never find Captain America.
But one spring, the Valkyrie melts anyway, and Steve Rogers wakes up in the ice, alone.
———————————
He tried to move – and it burned. There was fire wrapping around his body, dragging cold tongues of pain across every inch of him. There was nothing but the screeching pain and the blackness and the silence -
He breathed, and choked, because his lungs were full of ice.
Water trickled delicately from his nose, dribbled over shrivelled lips. He jerked reflexively, throat cracking free from frost. He tried to gulp, tried to swallow, tried to snatch at air.
