Summary
Flannel half-buttoned, hair sticking up like he’d just rolled out of bed, stood a kid. His face was flushed, his hands trembling from the sprint.
“Uh. Hi.” His voice cracked, mortifyingly, echoing off the Vault walls. “Name’s Wrett Robinson. Val sent me. Said I was supposed to capture you.”
Or: Valentina's reached a new low, and hired a child to work for O.X.E. When she sends her youngest (and most inexperienced) operative, a speedster name Wrett Robinson, into the Vault, what happens?
Current chapter: Wrett meets with his parents
(Hopeful) weekly updates

Summary
Peter Parker is a ghost in his own story...
Months after the spell that erased him from everyone’s memory, he’s living in the shadows; no ID, no support, no one left to save. He works three under-the-table jobs, patrols at night in a suit held together by desperation, and survives on barely edible food and sheer willpower. His healing factor is failing. His body is crashing. And he’s not sure how much longer he can keep going.
Then he runs into Bucky Barnes. THE Winter Soldier.
Peter slips. Says too much. Moves too fast. And Bucky, who shouldn’t remember him, starts asking questions. Questions that could unravel everything.
Now Peter’s spiraling, terrified that one moment of recognition could collapse the universe all over again. With nowhere left to turn, he makes a choice: break into Avengers Tower, patch up his suit, and maybe, just maybe, survive one more night.
Before he collapses. For good.
Inspired by: Empty Jr (TikTok), radnasty on YT (TikTok), Kaylee Jaye (TikTok), & Others. (The idea has been rotting in my head for too long. Sorry.)

Summary
After saving the city from the Void and being unexpectedly proclaimed "the New Avengers," the Thunderbolts team is sent back to Alexei's house to spend the night while arrangements are made for settling Earth's new mightiest heroes into the Avengers watch tower in New York City. This is the team's first glimpse into their future living together as a ragtag group of former assassins and washed-up loners, and while their histories and personalities make for an oddly unique family dynamic, they grow to realize just how important they are becoming in each others' lives. But, with the torment of their past traumas and the terrifying first experience with the Void still fresh on everyone's minds, settling into their role as heroes and teammates does not come easily. They know no sleep without nightmares, no safety without isolation or violence, and no peace of mind with the guilt they each bear. Around each other, however, the emptiness they all know so well begins to feel a little lighter.
