Summary
It’s quiet, in the aftermath.
In the darkest and deepest recesses of space, there’s the sound of rubble shifting, settling— an audible signal of the end. The sky is red and full of smoke, particles of metal and rock floating aimlessly through the air as if they’re afraid to land.
On the ground, there is ash.
All Tony can think is seventeen.

Summary
She doesn’t remember learning the steps, doesn’t remember learning when to leap, run, pirouette. The movements are buried in her bones, sunk into her blood, and it hurts, the way her toes strike the floor. There’s an ache that builds beneath her sternum every time she finds herself enjoying the dance, (because in the Red Room it was torture. It was a front, it wasn’t supposed to—) but it’s familiar and kind, forgiving in all the ways that matter.
It overwhelms her, sometimes, knowing that she can dance simply for the pleasure of dancing, and every time she catches a glimpse of Tony, hunched over ivory with his eyes shut tight, well.
She guesses it must be the same for him.

Summary
Because, of course, complete heterochromia iridis is a common abnormality found in point-six-seven percent of the population and Tony Stark just had to be one of the unlucky bastards to be included in that statistic.

Summary
Anthony Edward Stark is born as an explosion— destructive and wild eyed, hair soot dark, his round cheeks ruddy with exertion.
Maria screams through his entire birth, loud and inconsolable while Howard sits at a desk half a city away, unknowing and uncaring.
The world keeps spinning even as the stars sing.
Anthony takes his first breath and the universe hums.

Summary
What if everything in the MLH Awards rooftop scene had.gone completely differently?
"I feel like I'm home. I don't know what that means. I have never felt at home anywhere in a long time. But right now. With you inside me. Your hands on me. I am home."
A canon divergence from Heated Rivalry Episode 1 "Rookies." The MLH awards rooftop scene, rewritten - what Shane and Ilya truly feel about each other, and about the award, when nobody walks away. A character study on how Ilya's scars impact him, on how deeply and freely Shane loves him, and the start of something beautiful. Two boys. One trophy. Zero words big enough for what they feel for each other.

Summary
“Come on,” Comeau says. “Are we all just supposed to pretend it's normal that you’re still playing house with Ilya Rozanov?”
“Gil—” J.J. says, but Shane doesn’t want him to finish that sentence, to pull Comeau gently off the ledge he’s steering himself toward. Shane wants to push him, kicking and screaming, to make them say it to his fucking face. That after all this time, they still hate him for the heinous crime of falling in love.
“We’ve been married for two years,” Shane says. “I’m not sure that qualifies as playing house. I mean, it’s longer than you were with your first wife, isn’t it?”
Or: Shane reunites with his former teammates at J.J.'s bachelor party. He's finally ready to say (and maybe punch) his piece.

Summary
Today is the ten-year anniversary of Shane Hollander accepting that he is gay.
The fact that this day coincides with getting on his knees in front of a foreign exchange student to suck dick for the first time at age eighteen is irrelevant.

Also known as Professor Shane Hollander’s (unintentional) ten-year plan to finally lock down Dr. Ilya Rozanov.
