    Summary

    Jiyan falls defending Jinzhou to his last breath. To his astonishment, he opens his eyes to find himself a month after the Battle Beneath the Crescent…with Geshu Lin miraculously alive.

    This second chance, he resolves to live his life without regrets.

    “What the hell are you wearing?” Geshu Lin’s voice is a little too rough when he recovers.

    “My clothing meets regulations for non-standard uniforms. It’s more practical for wielding Qingloong.”

    “Which part of that,” Geshu Lin gestures emphatically to his half-off robe, “is practical?”

    “Should I remove the robe then?” Jiyan asks helpfully. Emboldened by Geshu Lin’s rare discomposure, he suits action to words, unbelting and shrugging off the hanfu, leaving him in his sleeveless top and gauntlets.

    Put your clothes back on,” Geshu Lin hisses in disbelief.

    Summary

    “You worry too much.”

    “Well. It’s you,” Peter said.

    Right. Like that explained everything.

    Johnny let himself lean in just a little. Head to Peter’s shoulder, eyes closed. Just a second. “I’m not your boyfriend anymore. You don’t have to take care of me.”

    Peter’s response was immediate, grumbled under his breath like a reflex. “See? Now you’re saying dumb things. You need to be checked out.”

    Johnny goes back home with Peter after the events of Uncanny Avengers #20

    Summary

    “Does this new man even like you?” Darren said. “Or is this just the latest in a long line of cries for attention? I’d have thought Johnny Storm, back from the dead, would’ve kept you going for a few more months.”

    “What?” Johnny said.

    “I mean,” Darren said, shrugging with that kind of deceptive casualness Johnny recognized so well but had never been able to replicate. “This new boyfriend rumor’s everywhere, you’ve been snapped a couple times, but he’s never around you, he hasn’t met any of your friends. No one’s seen hide nor hair of him, and now this? He can’t even be bothered to make it to your birthday party?”

    Months after his return from the Negative Zone, a surprise party awakens a host of old insecurities in Johnny.

    Summary

    “Miles, y’know, it’s sweet of you to keeping checking in on me, it really is,” he said, “but it’s really not necessary –”

    He stopped, halfway done rolling off the couch, his jaw hanging open. It wasn’t Miles framed in the window but a small child – a little boy of about seven or eight years old, with messy brown hair and a smattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks.

    “Who’s Miles?” the kid had the audacity to ask.

    Summary

    The test was positive.

    Felicia tilted it idly this way and that, sitting on the bathroom floor with her back against the cupboard. The floors and the counter tops were marble, and the shower door was glass. Every one of Felicia’s moves seemed to echo in the large room, even though she knew that she was making no sound.

    The test was positive. She didn’t bother to check the box to make sure she’d gotten the little symbols right. She’d known before she took it.

    “Well,” she breathed out, tilting her head back to inspect the ceiling. “Damn, Spider.”
