He looks up at her and swallows before repeating, “You don’t have to.”
Except when Rhodey had said it he’d meant You don’t have to go and Tony is saying You don’t have to stay and doesn’t that just say everything about both of them?

Summary
Sam didn't expect to have the full college experience, going back to school after years in the Air Force. He's older than everyone else, still figuring out how to be a civilian again, and never really believed in the whole go to college and find yourself thing.
Yet somehow, Sam ends up with a group of kooky friends, a major he adores, an addiction to caffeine, and a fling with a beautiful boy, who is sure to break his heart when he goes back to Wakanda at the end of the school year.

Summary
In an alternate universe, Tony Stark never came out as Iron Man, even to his teammates. Sometime after CA:WS, Bucky comes to the tower, regains his memory, and rekindles his relationship with Steve.
A year later, Steve and Bucky realize neither of them have ever had sex with anyone else, and they probably won’t if they keep their relationship monogamous. When they decide they want to explore, Bucky decides to ask Tony for a one night stand, and Steve decides to ask Iron Man. Both of them bite off more than they can chew, as they both discover that they’re in love with their extracurricular lover - while still being madly in love with each other. Tony just hopes it’s all worth it, because if they ever find out it was him with both of them, he’s pretty sure they’ll never want to see him again.

Summary
“Well listen. Percy, ah…” Vax hesitated, biting down on his lower lip as he picked his words with care. He could swear he'd not broken the skin, but his mouth tasted of blood, hot and bitter, sharp enough to make him feel a little sick. “We are not playing a game-”
“No,” agreed Percy, voice uncharacteristically soft, restrained. His gaze never left Vax’s, unwavering in its emptiness – in its lack of remorse, lack of emotion, lack of human fucking decency. Vax grit his teeth.(When Vax corners Percy in his workshop, after Vex's death, he doesn't stop at one punch.)

Summary
During their travels in the Feywild, even Garmelie’s assistance can’t stop Vox Machina from wandering into trouble. It is, after all, what they do best. This time, however, they may have run into something more powerful than even they can face down – in the form of a Wild Hunt, eager for sport and thirsty for blood.
This does not go well for Vox Machina, generally. It goes even worse for Percy, specifically.
Alone, cut off from his party, and being hunted by creatures more dangerous even than the Chroma Conclave, it will take everything Percy has just to survive.

“What about you?” Keyleth asks, turning her attention Percy’s way. “What were you doing before all this?”
Something dark and deep whispers into his ear.
Creating. Planning. Killing them again and again, over and over in your mind.“Being tossed in jail,” he says into his mug.
Or, Percy’s trauma slips to the surface, and his friends just want to help.

Summary
There comes a day in every man's life when he has to look at the circumstances of his existence and decide whether he wants to keep fighting.
For Ed, that day comes when the frost giants attack Bryn Shander.
"We are getting the fuck out of Ten Towns," he tells Holga.
When frost giants attack the city of Bryn Shander in 1491, Ed and Holga make the decision to take Kira and make the perilous journey south to Mornbryn's Shield, where they hope to start a new life away from the unpredictable Ten Towns and the memory of Edgin's wife. Along the way they meet a paladin of Ilmater who agrees to escort them as far as Mirabar, setting off a chain of events that will have Ed questioning his beliefs, evaluating his relationship with his daughter, and perhaps even let him heal enough to finally find happiness again.

“No!” she said immediately.

“No, and also we’re not even having this conversation,” she said in desperation, while her treacherous brain went right on vividly imagining every single minute of banging that smirk off his face so hard—

Summary
For years, Tony had successfully kept his secret. Neither the world nor his team knew he was Iron Man and as far as he was concerned, everyone was better off that way. On his best days, Tony Stark was not someone people liked and trusted, so the last thing Tony wanted was to tarnish Iron Man’s good reputation by revealing the truth.
But then SHIELD falls, the Avengers face disarray, and a stray Hydra assassin forces Tony to go into hiding—and where better than the safe house he had just crafted for the Avengers and their own ex-assassin ready to come in from the cold?
Tony plans to hide away from everyone in his makeshift workshop until the coast is clear and he’s safe to go home. No one would care to spend any time with the reclusive, arrogant billionaire anyways, right? Iron Man is the one everyone wants around.
Bucky Barnes, on his own journey to reclaim his life and identity, seems to disagree with that sentiment.

“You were born in winter,” Wen Ning said, as they sat side by side on the slope of a hill, looking out over the ghost of a village. “Before the new year, not after. But you were so small, and Hanguang-Jun couldn’t have known. I—I think all the records are gone."

Summary
Tony Stark, recently raised to CEO of his late father's multinational corporation Stark Industries, has refused all contact with his business partner Obadiah Stane for more than three days. Replacing the personal assistant who quit only a few days prior, Stane sends someone from his own staff to take over - a no-nonsense, capable, bright young redhead by the name of Virginia Potts who is sure she knows everything she needs to about the company's resident problem child.
But what she finds on her arrival quickly disabuses her of anything she had ever known about Tony Stark, leaving only her job description to guide her. What's left after that? Doing her job - but with a little bit of magic from an unexpected source, something more is forged.

Summary
The best-laid plans of mercenaries and magicians...
In the aftermath of the rout at Ealdor, a mercenary leader tries to hold his small band of survivors together and extricate them from the mess he got them into. He thinks he’s come up with a simple plan to save them all, but things soon stop going according to the script. And then they meet with a group of knights, led by a knight who calls himself Sir Andrew of Dollop Head.
Arthur decides, for who-knows what reason, that he wants to spend his honeymoon chasing a gryphon all over Camelot. Merlin, as ever, is tagging along behind Arthur, but his usual plan of pretending to be a simple servant isn't working. Arthur has been behaving strangely ever since their return from Ealdor, and Merlin is worried. On the road, they meet with a small band of riders who insist that they are also Knights of Camelot, and Arthur comes up with a strange new plan all of his own...
Finally finished!

Summary
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
(For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

Summary
The pale beauty on the bed swallowed the bowl of medicine without complaint and handed it silently to the eunuch by the bed. Leaning dizzily against the wall, Zhou Zishu fought yet another bout of nausea, trying to keep down the thin congee that he’d forced down his throat in the morning.
“Wangye,” the eunuch, Qiu Bin, said, sounding uncomfortable.
“Leave.” Zhou Zishu closed his eyes.
“Just… your bride should be on the way. Since the Emperor has refused to postpone the wedding—”
