Summary
"That's not why I'm here." Geralt growled, "An assassin was sent for me when I was in Flotsam, I don't know who by" he pulled down his collar to show the mostly-healed wound on his shoulder, "but they were good. I was unprepared, and they stabbed with this dagger," he gestured to the weapon in front of him, "before they ran. They could have killed me, but they didn't."
"You think it was on purpose?" Yennefer's brow furrowed
"I think it was a message."
Geralt is attacked by an assassin, who leaves him with Jaskier's dagger in his shoulder and a lock of his bard's hair. Geralt works to save his friend, but there is something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.Bookmarked by SoldierOfShadow

Summary
He hadn’t meant to lie. Not really. It hadn’t been a proper lie, one of omission, and it wasn’t like Geralt was the only person he’d been lying to at the time. He’d just wanted to be someone else for a bit. A Witcher was always a Witcher. Except when that Witcher was Julian Alfred Pankratz.
-
Jaskier has a past that he'd been hiding for a long time. Too long. When Geralt gets hurt he has a choice to make. Continue living a lie, or save the man he's come to love and risk exposing it all.

Summary
Steve has reigned as king for ten years, and in a few days peace will finally come to his kingdom. Representatives of the Kree Empire are soon to arrive for the negotiations that will end the war between them once and for all. Steve is looking forward to settling down, with his hand-picked Avengers at his side -- led, of course, by the masked knight Iron Man -- and also his trusted advisors, the most beloved of whom is Tony, his court magician, the most powerful mage in all the land.
But when Steve's life is endangered, Tony makes the greatest sacrifice of all to protect his king, a sacrifice far greater than his life. And when Tony disappears under mysterious circumstances, Steve learns that even his closest friends keep secrets that he could never have suspected.

Summary
“You let him get away, didn’t you?” Tony looks away but keeps his silence, jaw clenching. Ross grabs his jaw and makes him look him in the eyes. “Tell me where he is, Tony.”
Tony spits to the side, not breaking eye contact. “Go to hell,” he says.
Or: Tony, even after everything, would still protect Steve with every bone in his body.

Summary
“[...] From a time when there was no earth, no land. Only air and birds everywhere. And one of these birds was a lark and one day her father died. There was no place to put the body because there was no earth.
And finally the lark had a solution.
She decided to bury her father in the back of her own head.
And this was the beginning of memory. [...]”The Beginning of Memory - Laurie Anderson

Summary
An angel's wings wouldn't do it. Demons still had those, if a bit better groomed.
It would have to be an angel's halo.
But angels were fiercely protective of their halos, with good reason. An angel deprived of their halo would never be truly human, but they couldn't do miracles, and their connection with Heaven, their aura, and their overall strength all heavily suffered. Crowley had heard it wasn't painful, just a sense of weakness and vulnerability that was terrifying for an immortal being. For it to ever happen was rare. Angels who took off their own halos always Fell, humans didn't have what was needed to touch them, and demons would never steal a halo. It was whispered that touching a halo- stealing it from an angel- was the worst death a demon could suffer. Worse than holy water.

“Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I've had but couldn't keep.”There’s a reason that Crowley is here and Aziraphale is there. He tells himself that he cant have hope, and yet he hangs onto the idea that maybe someday they would have that picnic. Or that a table for two would miraculously open for them at the Ritz.

Summary
It was all pretty simple. Steve saw things. He saw things in a way that most people would think that he was crazy. In fact, he had seen a psychiatrist when he was a child, when people told him that he shouldn't be seeing colorful spirit animals. He shouldn't see the pale green rabbit he'd nicknamed Emerald that always comforted him as a child. He shouldn't see the huge, dark blue wolf that always followed at his side. Cobalt didn't exist. He shouldn't see the silver fluffy cat that twined around Bucky's ankles, either. He shouldn't be able to feel it when Silver curled up on Cobalt's back.
OR
Steve sees colorful spirit animals. He sees it when souls bond. And apparently, he isn't the only one.Series

Summary
See, only soulmates were able to see each other’s names on their partner’s wrist. To Tony, his own wrist was blank, but somewhere out there, there was a person whose wrist had his name written on it in invisible ink, visible only to his eyes. His soulmate would see their own name on his wrist, though to him it was frustratingly blank.
That’s why 'soulmates' was such a tricky matter. You could only see your own name on your soulmate’s wrist, and they could only see their name on your wrist. But that was okay, because eventually soulmates found each other.
Usually.
Tony had been waiting pretty damn long for his ‘perfect other half.’

Summary
Ridiculous. That's what this was. Ridiculous.
In his life Tony had been called by many names. Wonder Boy. The Futurist. The Merchant of Death. Iron Man. Some had claimed he was a one man army.
Right now though, all he felt like was an old man. A very fragile, achy old man.
A post-Endgame fic where Tony is kidnapped and the whole thing is simultaneously highly embarrassing and terrifying. No Endgame spoilers.Bookmarked by SoldierOfShadow
