    Summary

    “You're late,” Agatha manages to quip, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

    “A lady is never late,” Rio retorts, kneeling beside the fallen witch. Her eyes rake over Agatha's form, taking in the severity of the wound. “Looks like you've had quite the night, sweetheart.”

    Agatha tries to laugh, but it comes out as a pained cough. “What can I say? I like to live dangerously.”

    “Clearly,” Rio murmurs, her cool fingers brushing against Agatha's cheek. Agatha jolts quickly before listing back and slightly leaning into Rio’s hand. Goddamn, she was woozy.


    Rio can sense when Agatha is anywhere near death (the physical kind). Featuring Agatha flirting with both her mortality and Death.

    Summary

    “Fascinating,” Lilia mused. “A truth spell that seeks out hidden truths, regardless of magical ability. The Road always did have a wicked sense of humor.”

    Rio's eyes gleamed with a mix of concern and mischief. “Oh, this is delightful.” She giggled. Fucking lunatic. “I mean, terrible. Absolutely terrible.” She pouted very earnestly.

    “Shut up,” Agatha snapped, then immediately clapped a hand over her mouth as more words threatened to spill out.

    “Oh no,” Alice says. “What if they... you know... on the Road?”

    Teen grows beet-red. “Um. I think they probably already—”

    “Don’t,” Jen interrupts, holding up a hand. “Just… don’t.”

    Summary

    “Phil Coulson. Thought you might like to know before we begin. I promise I won’t twist your arm… too hard,” he says with a smile, one which widens as she returns it.

    “Melinda May,” she responds, accepting his handshake. Her hand is small, her fingers slim, and her grip is unsurprisingly firm. “You wouldn’t dare. I’d whip your ass.”

    Phil Coulson and Melinda May. Their story, from the very first day.

    Sam's eyebrows go up, impressed, and he reaches over to squeeze Torres' shoulder, "This is amazing, kid. Thanks, really."

    Bucky sits and watches in utter horror as the pink darkens on Torres' cheeks.

    Oh, he realizes.

    Oh.

    Summary

    Natasha and Steve go to couple’s therapy. There are a few complications. Their counseling clinic is a front for a Hydra cell that’s seized northern Manhattan. More importantly, they’re definitely not dating.

    Also, Steve may or may not be in love with Natasha.

    OR:

    “I resent being compared to Peggy Carter,” Nat tells their therapist. “Yes, Steve— I assassinated a few people and committed every war crime in the book. That doesn’t make me a bad person.”

    Steve knows this is all scripted, but he finds himself getting angry for no logical reason.

    “I don’t think you’re a bad person.” His voice rises. “If I did, I wouldn’t be dating you. This isn’t about Peggy."

    “It’s always about Peggy.” Nat flips her gaze to the therapist. “He says her name in bed sometimes."

    Steve’s hands clench into fists. She’s going off script, damn it, and now he has to go off script, too.

    “Nat cheated on me with Tony and Thor,” he improvises. “That’s what she was doing while I was checking my pal Bucky into a rehabilitation clinic. She's emotionally distant.”

    “Once again, Mr. Rogers.” The therapist sounds tired. “Let's try our best to keep this constructive.”

    Summary

    This one's going out to everyone who ever complained that they could only kudo a fic once.

    The blockbuster movie version of What Happened in Budapest.
    --
    “Got to be two or three blocks on fire.”

    They watched as another building caught, a little closer to them. Sirens were coming from everywhere. “Phil knows we're in Budapest, right?” Natasha asked.

    “Yeah. Told him we were taking a long weekend.” Phil liked to know where the hell they were. Since he had to answer to governments for them and they got up to major shit, Clint thought it sounded kind of reasonable. Nat didn't.

    “We won't have to call, then.” She gestured. “He knows we're in Budapest, and three blocks go up in flames? After what they'll call a terrorist attack at the Opera? He'll be here by morning to rescue us, so he doesn't have to fill out the paperwork. All we really have to do is stay alive until he gets here and finds us.”

    Summary

    The Cavalry once killed twenty men with a single pistol, they say.

    Or maybe it was fifty.

    The Cavalry once killed a hundred men, they say, on other days, around other campfires, these future agents of SHIELD, these gossipy children. On horseback, they tell the freshmen, and snicker. A hundred men.

    The number trips off the tongue. The methods vary, the numbers, and they all trip off the tongue easily—what is twenty dead villains? A hundred? A good day's work. We're the heroes, after all.

    Fifty, twenty, a hundred—they're all just syllables. All just sizes of victories, not a careful count of gasping faces.

    The Cavalry killed twenty—fifty—a hundred men, and Melinda May saw the light go out of each of them.
    --
    As a child, Melinda would steal the plastic lid off the kitchen trash can, mount it on one arm, and charge out into the backyard to save the world with her plastic shield.

    (a Melinda May character study)

    Nick Fury, Melinda May, and Phil Coulson are among a very small number of people who know that S.H.I.E.L.D. Personnel Action Report 7B-90 is not an agency myth.

    Fury and May are among an even smaller number who wish it were. Especially when their husband starts drawing on his.

    “You know,” Clint says, clinging to his conversational tone with everything he has, “I’m the one who was supposed to rescue you, here. Not the other way around.” He pauses, his gaze flicking to the dead man on the floor. “Not that I’m complaining, to be clear. I’m very grateful.”
