    Summary

    Charles, a young painter on the run from a hard life and bad memories, takes a job as caretaker of a centuries-old mansion in Scotland. It's beautiful country and comes with lodging included - a gig too good to pass up, and exactly the fresh start he's been looking for.

    Nobody's lived in the big house for almost a hundred years, he soon finds out, and new staff doesn't tend to last long, either. The locals say the place is haunted, whispering stories about the mysterious young heir who died tragically there nearly a century ago. His portrait hangs in the manor's front hall, extravagant and imposing and eerily untouched by time.

    But Charles has no intention of being run off his lucky find by spooky stories or drifting shadows - all he wants is peace and stability, and a little time to paint.

    The question is, what does the ghost want?

    Summary

    The thing about touch telepathy is this: technically, or at least as far as both Google and SHIELD databases are concerned, touch telepathy doesn’t exist anymore. Key word, anymore. It can’t, not when there hasn’t been a single record of a touch telepath existing in the last two-hundred-and-nineteen years.

    Not that Tony has been paying attention, or anything.

    Before there was a word for it, people called them “witches” or “psychics” or just plain, “monsters.” By the time the terminology was created to name them as they are, their existence had become taboo. Undesirable, criminal, dangerous.

    Historians call them as they are: touch telepaths. People call them legends. Tony just curses his own existence and calls it a day.

    - or -

    The story of how Tony, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and also a touch telepathic monster, becomes the self-elected outcast of the Avengers, and then something more.

    Summary

    It was as he sat drinking his morning coffee that the slow grinding of those pieces falling into place sent a course of comprehension through his body: the tightening of his chest, the heat in the tips of his fingers, a simple message splayed behind his eyes as he looked across the table.

    Connor was in love with him.

    Summary

    Spock has made a grievous error. He has rebuffed and rebuked Jim’s friendship—worse, his very nature—at every turn since Jim’s ascendancy to captain of the Enterprise. And now that Jim has withdrawn, now that Jim has given up, Spock has finally realized the value of what was being offered.
