    Summary

    “This job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved.”

    At the end of the day Steve did save everybody. He saved Bucky from Tony, his team from the government, the world from the Sokovia Accords. Some time would probably have to pass for things to blow over, and then everything would go back to normal. Couple of days. Tops. After all Team Cap saved everybody, showing the world how dangerous the accords were, how easily they could be abused. Even their supporters had to come to their senses now.

    Yet five days after Siberia nobody feels safe. Things don’t calm down and suddenly it’s again Steve against the rest of the world. Only now it’s not some international organisation or government but the people. The ones he had saved. Slowly Captain America must realize that they don’t feel saved but angry, hurt and scared.
    The people demand justice for those who were really trying to save them and paid the price for it.

    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

    Summary

    Toni sees the Chitauri mothership high above her, sees the hundreds and thousands of warships that circle the Earth, and she knows, she knows.

    She thinks, oh, I understand.

    A beat.

    Her hand burns.

    Wow, we are so fucked. 

    She lets the bomb slide out of her hands, watches as it floats towards the mothership, and fire rains down on her, even in the dark, pale, cold hollow of space.

    She laughs, breathlessly, thinks of all the ones who’d loved her the most, and dies.

    Summary

    In 2018, on Earth-199999, Thanos gathered all the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers. Half of the Universe was promptly dusted, and a third was further killed as a direct consequence of the dusting. Weeks later, Thanos used the Infinity Stones once more and destroyed them - thus destroying the Universe itself.

    Stephen Strange saw this, but there was no way to save them or the Universe, no time.

    And then the Infinity Stones themselves gave him time. Gave him a second chance to save another Universe, their sister Earth: Earth-200207.

    A quest that takes place across space and time, within souls and minds, with power and reality. A bet that could save trillions of people or could condemn them to a future worse than he one of Earth-199999. A game of chess against the butterfly effect, with one single starting player:

    Earth's Best Defender.

    Summary

    It had been a slash across her chest from a White Walker’s sword that finally ended her life. Sansa’d landed in a puddle of her own blood, and she’d died quickly, quietly.

    And then she’d awoken with a gasp, trembling, in a bed that had burned under Theon’s betrayal.

    Summary

    The solemn girl he met the day before their wedding didn't match up with the stories he'd heard of the she-wolf of Winterfell. His little wife's wild looks seemed somewhat strange when paired with her subdued personality. She spoke clearly but quietly, and though she repeated her courtesies, if a little coldly, she did not smile, nor did those words sound natural from her mouth. She was her brother Ned in every respect, solemn, serious and reserved. And it didn't suit her one bit.

    "Just count yourself lucky I won't put up the same fight for you I did for him," She tossed her hair slightly, dark curls dancing in the warm candlelight, an old, proud defiance that was clearly familiar to her returning. It suited her better than the dead shell she had been up until this point. Jaime said nothing. He didn't doubt for a moment that this woman had put up a hell of a fight.

    If Lyanna Stark survived but was married off to Jaime Lannister.

    Summary

    It wasn't often Arya Stark admitted that Sansa had a way of always getting under her skin specifically because it seemed as though anything Sansa tried was something she was good at.

    Arya had never had a traditional lesson of any sort of sword craft or archery, yet she managed to hit the bullseye easily after just listening to the lesson Robb and Jon were working with Bran on.

    Yet it was Sansa who got all the compliments of completing something perfectly on her first try, never Arya. Sansa who was perfect, perfect, perfect and would marry the pounce of a prince and be queen and probably out law all of her sisters dreaded mannerisms and habits.

    Arya always imagined a perfectly horrible execution for her own ending with Sansa eating lemon cakes and yelling at the men to take her wretched sister's head for uneven stitches.

    Thus, just weeks before the King was to be at Winterfell with his court, Arya’s sister lost her mind.

    OR the one where Sansa time travels and the changes are observed through her little sister.

    Summary

    The Red Keep is said to be far grander than Winterfell or any of the castles in the North but Lyanna finds that the splendor is empty and dull. The streets of King’s Landing are cramped and smelly, the air is humid and the people smile queerly, the expression not reaching their eyes.

    Whenever she asks how long they’ll stay, her mother clicks her tongue and looks somewhere to the side, shying from giving a straight answer.
    “As long as Her Majesty has a need of me.”

    or: the rhaelya childhood friends AU that nobody asked for.

    Summary

    Ned stopped just inside the doors, looking down into Sansa's face again. He touched the pale lavender of her eyelid, heart aching for this perfect creature and all that would be denied her if the maesters were right.

    "She is our daughter," Ned said firmly after a moment, looking up to meet Catelyn's worried gaze. "And her being able to see or not does not change that."
