    Summary

    He couldn’t be Spiderman if he had epilepsy. Mr. Stark and Aunt May barely let him patrol as it is. They’d never let him go out if he could have a seizure at any moment.

    So Peter just tells himself that nothing is wrong. Which ends very, very poorly.

    Summary

    Peter had never known a day unmarked.

    He'd been the keeper of his soulmate's private thoughts since before he could remember, before he could even conceptualize the words constantly splayed across his wrist.

    The script had been as much a part of him as his own thoughts were, orbiting around his consciousness as long as he could remember. 

    He had been Peter Parker, the guardian of private musings for his entire life. 

    *****

    Companion to These Words Written On My Wrist, the story as seen by Peter.

    Summary

    “Right, well, we were able to track him down via your birth certificate...” She shifts through the papers on her clipboard. Peter feels lightheaded. “And he agreed to take you in, so you don’t have to go into foster-care, as long as we provide a positive paternity test.”

    “I- I don’t... who?”

    “Tony Stark.”

     

    Or: Peter runs away after Ben dies. After six months of homelessness, he's found and placed with his biological father, who also happens to be his childhood hero, Tony Stark. Add hiding Spider-Man, a dangerous new villain that he's determined to take care of on his own, trying to bond with his father, all while keeping the dark secrets of his past on the streets hidden; Peter has found himself in a very complicated situation.

    Summary

    A story about coffee, carjackers, and co-dad management.
    Spider-Man is unpredictable and chaotic, never says no to free food and seems to spend most his time directing traffic. This rookie is in desperate need of a chaperone. And Tony doesn’t want to do it, but he’ll bear the burden as gracefully as he always does.
    Local teen Peter Parker never wears warm enough clothes, and can’t always sleep at home for reasons he refuses to go into. So if the Avengers really expect Sam to join their hippie-commune-cult, someone is going to have to look after this kid for him.

    Summary

    Danny unbuckled the second strap, stepping back as Ember floated above the table. “Will you be ok? I mean…” He gestured towards the pieces of ectoplasm on the table, small gasps of air puffing from his chest. He was on the verge of having a panic attack. That could’ve been him. Ember didn’t know that, of course; according to the ghosts, Danny was just a human, and Phantom was just a ghost.

    The ghosts trust Danny Fenton, the ghost hunters’ son who helps them escape from his parents. But they hate Danny Phantom, the traitorous ghost who protects humans from them. If only they knew they were one in the same.

    Summary

    Sokka prided himself on knowing almost everyone at school. To be fair though, it was a pretty small school, not many people wanting to live way out in Washington state.

    Which was why Sokka was so caught off guard as he entered his AP lit class and saw an unfamiliar face sitting in the back of the classroom next to his seat.

     

     

    or: sokka agrees to be zuko's tutor but also unknowingly agrees to help the other teen heal from his past (and possibly heal from his own at the same time)

    Summary

    Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.

    A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

    Summary

    Sokka isn’t expecting much when his friend and co-worker Suki drags him out to a concert at a bar, featuring the rising star group Forever Embers. Much less having a drunken one-night-stand with the drummer, Zuko Liu, that turns into Definitely Not A One Night Stand. But as the two of them become closer, it becomes clear that things in Forever Embers are not what they seem.

    Summary

    When the tithe collector comes, they pay taxes as if they are all married to each other. It's easier than saying that Caleb is taking advantage of their kindness and that when Veth found him in a river and he almost melted her face off.

    (AU where Caleb meets the Brenattos soon after leaving the asylum and hides with them in plain sight)

    Summary

    “Hey, can we get this?” Caleb froze at the sight of Jester waving around a bound spell scroll. The sensation of a cane landing on his back and shameful pleasure filled his mind for a moment before he managed to blink it away.
    “Aw, yeah! It’d be handy to have a charm spell on hand when shit hits the fan.” Beau added.
    “Cayleb, can you spare any gold right now?” Jester had pleaded. The wizard choked over his words for a moment.
    “I’d… Rather not support… Makers of those kinds of scrolls.” He managed.
    “Really, why?” Beau, ever inquisitive.
    “They’re… Made kind of… Unethically, you know?”

    ~ O ~

    In which Trent Ikkythong taught his students that charm spell scrolls require certain ritual preparation, Caleb Widogast goes a good thirty-plus years without realising he was sexually abused, and I ask myself why the hell I want to hurt my comfort characters so bad.
    Serious hurt, with endgame positive ending.
    Seriously y’all, read them tags and take care of yourselves.

    How one Earth Kingdom Noble adopted a starved Fire Nation Prince, gave him a couple of accidental therapy sessions, promised to insult Ozai to death, and much more...

    How the same Earth Kingdom Noble many years before befriended Fire Nation Swordmaster, terrorized a town together, and lived their lives being walking nightmares for everyone around. Xaalo continued even when their ways parted (Pi too, but more discreetly).

    Summary

    Zuko - or rather Lee - became a scribe in the Beifong's estate. It's a fresh start, with a solid cover story, no disgrace, and failure attached to his name. Yet, he still tries to find a way to make things right, to regain all that he's lost. He hasn't given up on being himself.

    His plans get interrupted by a blind girl, definitely too enthusiastic about illegal fighting rings.

    Zuko being a scribe, slow-burn bond with the greatest earthbender, and whooops! No one called the Gaang but they finally arrived (Zuko is not pleased).

    Summary

    Zuko was burnt far worse during the Agni Kai, now he’s blind and searching for meaning.

    Was he meant to give the Avatar to the Fire Lord and make his father proud?

    Or does Agni have something much greater in store for him?

    Summary

    Sam is basically a Saint. Steve ... what kind of man loves like this? Bucky is ... not broken, just bent? Or, who are we kidding here, he's broken here and there as well. Natasha is scary and spectacular like a bloody dawn. But she'll give Bucky anything he asks for.

    *
    “Cap? Coke? Your man there looks a little shocky, sugar’d do him good.”
    Yes. Steve thinks. Sugar. Must go get Bucky a Coke. He walks to the other wall on rubbery legs, digs out two cans. Walks back. Bucky’s eyes are closed, head bent back at an odd angle. He looks like someone snapped him in half. Steve. Steve did.
    *
    They have never kissed like this. And Steve remembers every kiss: the secret stolen ones; the rushed and laughing ones; the crying, biting ones. He has both hands in Bucky’s hair now, pulling him in, trying to softly steer him. But Bucky is unwieldy.
    *
    “Let’s practice,” she murmurs.
    A blink. A silence. He’s drifting.
    She helps him along: “ask me for something you want,”
    Another blink, different blues swirling together as he wants, then shies away from asking, tries to power through and find the words. It’s delicious. She wants to roll in it, rub it into her skin until she too is sweet.
