    Summary

    Last night had been the best night of Troy's life. He'd scored two goals. The whole team had wrapped rainbow tape on their sticks and he had kissed Harris in front of reporters. His mother had surprised him by showing up at the game, and he'd told his father to go to hell, all in the same night, then come back to his apartment and fucked his boyfriend twice.

    Now he was lying in bed while Harris made GIFs about all of it.

    It wasn't a complaint. It was just…weird. A weird morning. He was out. Out and proud.

    Troy had been so focused on coming out that he hadn't thought much about what the morning after looked like.

    Turned out, the morning after was pretty chill, except his fucking phone exploding.

    ******

    The morning after Pride Night, Troy Barrett is out, in love, and has absolutely no idea what comes next. Harris Drover has the best job in hockey and the worst comment sections. This is their first year: the press scrums and scandals and playoffs, the house in the country and the giant dog. The slow, steady work of two people building a life together.

    A post Role Model Troy/Harris story, February to February

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    What makes a family?

    Is it the blood you share? The name you carry? Or is it something less tangible—something felt rather than seen?

    For Sirius and Regulus Black, the answer has never been simple. Each of them has their own idea of what family means, though neither could explain it easily—not until much later. Because figuring it out… that took time. And pain. And lots of learning.

    The truth is, what makes a family looks different to everyone.

    For the Potters, it’s love.
    Love that is steadfast, freely given, and never earned. A kind of love that opens its doors to broken boys and whispers, You belong here.

    But love isn’t always easy—especially when the person you’re trying to love doesn’t know how to accept it. When trust has been shattered too many times, and hope feels dangerous.

    Still, through every argument, every silence, every small step forward, love remains.

    And somewhere along the way, Sirius and Regulus begin to ask themselves the question they never dared to before:
    When did I first feel loved?
    When did I finally believe I was?

    Summary

    for as long as bucky could remember, he’d wanted to be an architect. after 6 long (long) years and a masters degree to prove it, he’d gotten the dream job at a cushy firm that was paying him a lot of money to do the only thing he ever really loved.

    then, his sisters sudden death found him no longer the fun uncle but the sole guardian to a 6 month old he had no idea how to take care of.

    so, he quit his job and used a chunk of his savings to buy a garage shop with a little apartment over it in the middle of brooklyn and became every architects worst nightmare: a contractor. a for hire residential contractor.

    a year later, captain america and all his quiet anger came stumbling through the door and without bucky realizing, everything changed.

    Summary

    In the haze of the summer, Harry can hear the magpies chirping.

    Is it before or after it happens that they stop? He can't quite remember. It's a weird mixture of relief and horror, what he feels in the moment.

    He always told Dumbledore that something bad would happen if he went back to the Dursley's.

    And now something bad has happened.
    Like the magpies, like an omen of bad luck, he remains in violent prophecies once more.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes has a lot to contend with in the 21st century. One difficult task after another is laid out in front of him: managing his new found freedom, attending therapy and working through his trauma. It's a struggle, but recovery is not a straight line, as his therapist so often likes to remind him.

    He has to navigate this friendship / relationship / whatever it is with Sam all the while managing his guilt and shame for his years as the Winter Soldier, and his grief over Steve's death. Then of course there’s these new super soldiers that have appeared out of nowhere that have to be dealt with, along with the frustrating inclusion of new faces, like Walker, and the familiar, like Zemo.

    And then there is another task, one that sometimes seems to be the most difficult task of all: learning to be kind to his past self.

    Rewrite / fix it of TFATWS – you do not need to read the other parts of this series, this works as a standalone. Pre TFATWS to about three months after the series ends. Not just a rehash of the TV series, I like to bounce off canon and do my own thing. I generally update fortnightly.

    Summary

    Seven Years Ago when Tony Stark went missing in Afghanistan, his almost eight year old son, Peter James Edwin Stark, was placed in foster care. When Tony returned, it was to the news that his son had been killed when a fire had broken out in the foster home and only the neglectful caretakers survived the blaze.

    Now, one year after Ultron and Sokovia, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts have decided to act as foster parents in an attempt to keep what happened to Peter from happening to anyone else. Of course, the spider-themed vigilante in town may make this venture that much harder. Can’t Tony just get a break?

    Peter Parker has no memory of his life before he was 7. He’s spent the last seven years in foster care wishing nothing more than to find a forever family. He thought the Parkers were going to be that family, but an unfortunate accident two years ago left Peter and their three children once again at the mercy of the system.

    When Peter fights back against his foster father, Skip Westcott, he and his foster siblings end up at Avengers Tower, Peter has to figure out how to hide his nightly activities and Tony needs to figure out just why this teenager and his dead son have so much in common.

    Summary

    Peter blames himself for Uncle Ben's death and isn't even sure he wants to continue being Spiderman. Donning the mask again, he decides he'll go out for one more mission- to find who killed his uncle.

    Tony wants desperately to reconnect with Peter. His son seems so distant these days. Can he balance out the needs of his family versus those of the Avengers, the Accords, and the world?

    (Will make a lot more sense if you read the Girl from Yesterday first, but then, I can't force anyone to do anything)

    Summary

    “This is a lot to process right now. Would you like them to step outside? Maybe take a break?”

    Thank God someone said it. Jesus.

    “Yes. Good idea. Yeah, yep, yes, please.”

    The Stark’s are rushed out of the room and Peter jumps far away from the door in order to not have to touch them right now. He needs to be far away. The only person that doesn’t leave is the social worker lady, and that's fine. She’s not a liar. She’s the only one giving him any choices today.

    “Can we open that window, please?” He requests, finally giving in and sitting down.

    The woman rushes to the window, pushing it up.

    “Do you want to talk? Or just sit here?”

    He has no idea what to say, but also, if he sits here in silence he’ll probably explode. When he doesn’t respond right away, still breathing unevenly, she makes a comment on a bird she sees outside. It’s a red cardinal, apparently when you see one it means someone who passed away is watching over you.

    He likes this woman.

    -

    Or, Peter has been homeless since the blip, and then the Stark’s eventually find out and adopt him.

    Summary

    Draco’s eyes went wide at Harry’s words before his eyes snapped to where he could see the men in question suddenly appear from under the play structure. His breaths quickened even though he knew logically, they weren’t going to hurt him.

    “Hey little cousin,” Sirius said cheerfully, only to frown when Moony grabbed his arm when he went to go over to the boys. “What?”

    “He’s terrified,” Remus said quietly, he could smell it. The air was thick with the child’s sudden fear.

    Summary

    8 year-old Morgan is struggling after the death of her mom. Her dad is working non-stop and her extended family of emotionally constipated superheroes are just as uncomfortable with her grief as their own. To top it off, she can't stop dreaming about a brother she's never had and all the trouble he might be in. When she convinces Tony to take her with him on a work trip to Caltech, she meets a student who looks a lot like the boy in her dreams. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem very interested in her. Good thing her dad always knows what to do.

    A sort of No Way Home, Everyone Lives (Except May and Pepper) Fix It story, where Morgan channels major Pepper Potts vibes, Tony channels major concerned Dad vibes, and Peter channels major college age-Tony Stark vibes. Served with a splash of angst, a heap of trauma, and a sprig of making adults take proper care of one depressed spider child.

    Summary

    Peter Parker was an orphan from Queens, with a hefty record and a history of substance abuse. He was a stray, a freeloading fleabag, a loser. Whatever you want to call it. A real bad kid.

    When he gets picked up by the police, his biggest worry is weather he's going to juvie or getting sent back with Skip. But instead, he finds out his entire life was a lie.

    Summary

    Peter couldn’t remember the last time he could just… breathe.

    Instead, he sits on the edge of an apartment building’s roof and rolls up the bottom of his mask, gulps in burning lungfuls of the unforgiving night air, and tugs his mask back on. Crime stops for no one, not even Spiderman.

    Or: May dies, and Peter devolves into homelessness and isolation. Past demons reappear, old wars are waged, and it feels like Peter has no one to turn to, not even Mr. Stark. Like always, Peter’s life gets better before it gets worse, and it gets worse before it gets better.

    Summary

    “Potter,” Minerva stated, blinking rapidly. She looked behind him, checking for more guests. “How can I help you?”

    Help. Harry’s shoulders sagged. Minerva had been one of the few to ask him that question, and have Harry believe she actually wanted the full answer.

    “Professor,” he said. He cleared his throat, wilting under Minerva’s hawkish stare. “Sorry, I know you’re Headmistress now. I can’t shake the habit. I, uh...” Harry rocked on his toes, back and forth. “I’ve been seeing therapists from the Ministry. But none of them are clicking. And you... You sent me a letter, recently, saying you’ve noticed your students seeing Thestrals.”

    --

    Sequel to "Your Answer". Harry is at his wit's end, trying to find a therapist that suits him. With some help from Minerva, he settles on the unassuming, hard-hitting Dr. Ashford--the same therapist, interestingly enough, Draco Malfoy visits.

    Brought together once more, Harry finds an unlikely companion in Draco, in between sessions. Draco, whose glare has softened. Draco, who no longer relies on his name to get by.

    Draco, who might know Harry's struggles a little better than Harry gives him credit for.
