Summary
After a chance encounter that leads to revelations in a muggy abandoned corner of Bayville park, Todd and Kurt hatch a half-assed plan to get their teammates to get along while playing with the queerphobic panic that lingers in the air of Bayville high's hallways. Todd wants to smudge out the polished bits in his reputation, Kurt wants to make life better for his friends, they both want to make homophobes choke. It's a match made in heaven, it's a fucking lie for maximum prank potential. Or is it?

Summary
What if some of the X-Kids decided the Brotherhood weren't enemies or a problem to be dealt with, but potential friends they could nag into doing shit like, brushing their teeth and believing in themselves? What if Kurt discovered who his mother was, saw the shit job Mystique was doing leading the brotherhood and said to themself "Fuck it, I'll do it myself?
This is a series of moments that plays havoc with the X-Men Evolution series' original timeline, with the stories beginning roughly in the second half of the kids' junior year of high school, and spanning into their late teens early 20s. The stories fill in the big gaps left by the series and take paths I wish had happened, like Freddy apologizing to Jean, like Kurt getting a circus family, like Todd and Forge having a secret lab together.
Some chapters are in response to the Kodd 2021 revival challenge, but many are me running in my own direction.

Summary
Dick's the last person Jason expects to find crouched, scarfing down takeout on his favorite stake-out roof in crime alley, but when the other hero offers free dinner as an olive branch, the Red Hood isn't one to spill free pho. His rejoining of the bats has been tentative at best, but Nightwing's proven a surprising ally whenever Hood stands his ground, and somehow, these late-night dinners are becoming a habit.

Summary
Kurt's been missing for months when an explosion forces Todd to take a leap even he can't handle. Instead of a hard landing and busted knees, he finds himself on a nearby roof with the smell of sulphur around him and thunder in his ears. That night he dreams of a garden that is not a garden, in a room that's not a room, and burning eyes and shadowy hands that don't let him rest.
Or, a little experimental thing based off all those "Nightcrawler gets sent to Hell" storylines, that may become a bigger experiment later.

Summary
Gyre and Sacre had been hanging around for months in an online kink forum, before one of them struck out and messaged the other. After months of back and forth, it turns out they'll be at the same kink conference, so would they like to make it a thing and meet up?
Perhaps they should have asked each others offline names before saying yes. Or maybe had a video call.
Todd and Kurt go to a BDSM convention and find out their kinky pen pal is not quite as much of a stranger as they thought.
"Plans fell apart the second Todd had turned around to a low, melodic voice purring, “Nice jacket,” as Sacre, his anonymous kinky penpal, swung onto the barstool beside him and he looked right into burning gold eyes he hadn’t seen in years. There’d been a brief moment Todd considered it was a coincidence–his studded emerald green leather jacket tended to draw a lot of compliments in places like this–but he caught sight of the rich red cropped vest and feather epaulets on Kurt’s shoulders and realized this was not a fluke. "

Summary
It happens like a fever dream.
The first time Steve gives Eddie a swift smack on the ass, it’s obviously just an old jock habit that’s stuck with him. It wasn’t meant to have Eddie’s knees going weak, or turn his blood hot under his skin, or give him a brand in the shape of Steve Harrington’s hand, or— Nope, because Eddie’s not even into that.
But then, it happens again.
Or, Steve keeps accidentally awakening Eddie’s new kinks.

Summary
Kurt Wagner HAS a family, thank you very much. And not even, continents, crazy world ending mutants, psychics, or finding his birth mother will keep Kurt from letting them know what's going on.
