    Summary

    Mistreated and malnourished, little Hiccup doesn’t understand why most everyone on Berk hates him. Gobber notices the abuse and steps in, but things quickly spiral out of control and the only way to keep Hiccup safe is to smuggle him off of Berk and into the hands of their allies. Hiccup is soon adopted into another tribe and grows up discovering what having a true family is like, but the past never stays in the past, as he soon discovers when Berk reaches out to the famed Dragon Master for help. Will he help the tribe who wronged him or leave them to suffer? Only time will tell.

    Summary

    It's 1927 and Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers don't know it yet, but they've just found a friend for the ages.

    As years go by, and the three musketeers grow from plucky children to mischievous teens and, finally, to young men and women--will the small crush you harbour for Bucky Barnes ever blossom into something more? Or will the war that threatens to tear the three of you apart succeed before you even get the chance?

    An autobiography of sorts--and a winding road. The ways in which you loved Bucky Barnes span years, decades, lifetimes. It ends in Russia, or the Arctic, or Times Square--depending on who you ask.

    But it starts in Brooklyn.

    Summary

    ─── By the time you’re aware enough to process your surroundings, you are already inside a cell. The sterile white of the lab was gone, replaced by dull concrete walls, dim artificial lighting, and a suffocating absence of anything remotely human. No windows. No clocks. No way to know if it was day or night.

    But you are not alone.

    Your muscles tense as soon as you notice him—a man sitting on a cot on the opposite side of the cell, silent and still. He exudes something oppressive, something dangerous. His expression is unreadable, his presence heavy, but what catches your attention most is his arm.

    Metal.

    Summary

    "Your age." Sam asked, who seemed far more worried than Natasha at the moment.

    Peter knew that no matter how he answered, he'd be asked to stop being Spider-Man. He knew, but he wouldn't lie. No one could tell him to stop, not even Aunt May or Mr. Stark. They'd already tried and failed.

    "I'm sixteen."

    Or: The Avengers finally meet Peter Parker, but not in the way he'd hoped.
