Summary
In the days of the Great Depression, Jackie Taylor was beloved by millions of moviegoers across the country. She was a goddess of Old Hollywood, the all-American girl, queen of the silver screen. Like so many of the old-time starlets, her reality was not as rosy as the fantasy the studio sold. Her name is remembered today as much for the quiet tragedy of her private life as for her classic films.
Shauna Shipman is mostly forgotten. She was nevertheless once a star in her own right. One of the radical writers who flourished in the 1930s, her novels sketched the grim reality of slum life and the trenches of the Great War in vivid color. She reported from picket lines, from the dark heart of fascist Germany, and from the battlefields of war-ravaged Spain.
Little as they shared in common, Shipman and Taylor defined each other's lives. Decades after their deaths, enough documentation has surfaced to piece together the long-forgotten connection between these two women. It is presented here through yellowed newspaper, through musty transcripts, through the cloudy reminisces of those wished they knew them, and those who thought they did.

Summary
Fabian resisted the urge to roll his eyes. The Captain had raised him since toddler hood, yes, but that didn't mean he told Fabian anything. Most of the time Fabian was treated like just another crew member. Hells, it seemed the only thing he got special treatment for was personalized combat training which he was grateful for, of course, but never exactly gave way to idle chatter.
***
When Fabian was a toddler he was kidnapped by Captain James Whitclaw with the sole purpose of raising him into a man who could kill Bill Seacaster.
A dozen years later, Captain Whitclaw kidnaps a teenage oracle for bounty. Fabian and her become friends and Fabian starts to think maybe there could be a life from him away from Whitclaw and his crew.

Summary
Evernox Academy had stood for hundreds of years, originally built to train and protect those born with magical abilities. Within its halls, generations had come and gone, each learning to harness gifts that marked them different from the rest of the world.
Abilities were varied there where telepaths who could hear thoughts like whispers in the wind, teleporters who vanished with a blink, healers whose hands could seal wounds and stop pain in seconds. There were those who could manipulate fire, water, air, and even the ground itself, others who walked unseen through crowds with invisibility, and a few who changed their very forms, shifting into animals with a shiver of magic.
But there was one ability that was whispered about more than praised.
Telekinesis.
The rarest of them all.
Those born with it could move objects with the power of their mind alone, bend the world to their will with a thought. But that strength came at a cost. Telekinesis didn’t just challenge the body, it tested the mind. Power like that came with consequences.
There was only one telekinetic currently enrolled at evernox academy.
Lando.

Summary
The shimmering antlers sit delicately on the pedestal, and he’s tempted to reach out and touch them, but something keeps his hands by his sides, remaining impassive as he studies the intricate metalwork. It looks as though it’s been ripped straight from a storybook and - if the tale he just read on the lectern, and the one from his early childhood, is to be believed - it pretty much is.
--- --- ---
Or, Alinar's antlers have more of an effect on Scott than he anticipated.

Summary
Tony Stark may have been religious about using protection through the years. Unfortunately condoms do break, also failure rates go up when drunk or otherwise intoxicated. This means well, it was rather inevitable.
Daisy was not expecting three hits when she ran her DNA against the SHIELD database. Which complicated feelings on the whole issue or not, well her apparent baby brother just started stopping crime in his pajamas. So if she takes a month, she's on the run from SHIELD post Hive anyways, and helps the kid out it doesn't have to mean anything. Really, she's completely going to be able to leave without regrets. Totally. And if she ends up looping in their apparent older sister, it's for Peter.
