    Summary

    One of the definitions of 'sciamachy' is to fight with shadows... and Q is about to go to the place where shadows are housed and used by the government.

    In today's world, the Sybil System is everyone's conscience: by looking at data (everything from Facebook posts to security cameras) this AI can determine what people are criminals before they can do wrong. Some criminals, though, are dangerous enough to outrun her for a time - those criminals, when caught, are put to use instead of put down. After all, what better way to hunt down monsters than with the better monsters?

    Enter Q. He's not dangerous - at least to the common eye - and he's perfect for the job of Quartermaster for all of these 'better monsters.' But he's got an agenda, and he's not the only one...

    Or: the dark!AU crossover fic that nobody asked for, in which the Sybil System has labeled everyone 'good' and 'bad,' and you don't know if you can trust anyone. And it might be the so-called 'good' ones that you have to watch the most...

    The bodyguard is incredibly well-respected in the superhero single parent community. He is also, Tony’s realizing, something of an asshole.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Thor's Chitauri army decimated the Earth. Now what's left of humanity lives in bases under the Earth's surface, safe from the toxic atmosphere. Tony likes to think that humanity's adapted pretty well. After all, they have movie nights and dances; they're doing better than could be expected. But when he learns that the little world of safety and stability they've carved out is about to be slowly but surely destroyed, the New York Underground is left with only two options--fight or flight. Tony knows which one he wants. If only Steve weren't on the exact opposite side. Meanwhile, Natasha wants whatever option will save Clint, Pepper wants whatever option will save the base, Maria Hill wants whatever option will save everybody, and nobody's exactly sure who Loki's trying to save, but everyone's hoping it's more than just himself.

    Summary

    Tony asks if there’s anything he missed while he was away - away, he says, because it’s easier than saying hey did anything interesting go down while I was kidnapped and getting tortured in a cave - and Rhodey hesitates before saying no.

    (Or, an Iron Man AU where Steve is defrosted while Tony is in Afghanistan.)

    Summary

    Less than a year ago Tony’s biggest problem with Steve was figuring out how they could coexist in the same team without throttling each other. Now Tony’s biggest problem with Steve is making sure that the guy doesn’t fall in love with him.
