    Summary

    What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?

    Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).

    Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.

    Summary

    Tony and Pepper snatched Peter up only a few weeks after the first Spider-Man video went viral. Real fucking coincidence, right? Suddenly, Tony Stark rocked right up at his group home, strewing business cards around like he was Oprah. If Oprah were an ugly white dude with a goatee.
    “Big fan,” he told Peter, fasting forward through a video of Spider-Man catching a bus before it crashed through a road block. “In and out of foster care your whole life, am I right? I believe my wife and I could provide a very fitting home for you.”
    “Pass,” Peter said.

    Summary

    Steve turns to leave. It’s easier to talk, somehow, when he’s not looking at him. “If you need anything,” he says, “I’m just a few floors down.”

    “Might regret that, Cap,” Tony says to his retreating back. “I’ve been told I’m needy.”

    Steve doesn’t know who the hell said that to Tony. It’s probably for the best that he doesn’t.

    “It’s an honor,” he says, a little helpless, out of his depth and out of his time. “It’s an honor to be trusted with something like that, Tony.”

    Summary

    A Camelot still reeling from Morgana’s betrayal plays host to the visiting king of the only nation militant enough to pose a viable threat. Only, a surprising twist is revealed when the heirless king of that nation announces that the dragon lord Balinor was actually his formerly lost and disinherited brother, therefore making Balinor’s son, Merlin, the sole blood heir to his throne.

    Summary

    After a bitter, messy break-up with his ex, Ty Stone, Tony's father cuts him off until he "gets his life in order". Desperate for a paycheck, any paycheck, while he finishes his degree, Tony takes a job at the one place he knows he'll never run into his toxic ex, The Howling Commando, a local biker bar renowned for attracting a rough crowd, and it's take no shit from anyone owner, Steve Rogers.

    The sexual tension between Tony and his new boss is obvious to everyone around them right from the start, but Steve isn't about to hit on one of his employees, especially not one as vulnerable as Tony seems to be. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny their feelings for one another. When Ty finally manages to track Tony down at the bar, sending Tony into a self-destructive spiral, Steve realizes it's time for him to admit his feelings and start taking care of the boy who has somehow managed to break through all of his carefully constructed defenses.

    Summary

    Following the Battle of New York, the Avengers Initiative kicks into high gear under the leadership of Steve Rogers, i.e. Captain America. Tony didn’t mean to become part of this initiative, but it makes sense to sign on due to his experience with SHIELD and Rhodey’s War Machine suits.

    The upside: Tony’s tech can be used in a widespread and meaningful way to help protect people. The downside: the last time Tony saw Steve, he’d rejected Steve’s proposal of marriage and broke his heart, leading to almost ten years of the two having no contact whatsoever. Until now.

    Summary

    Pepper Potts is getting married, and Tony is over the moon for her - he just wants her to be happy, after all. Her wedding will be the best, happiest day in history, because she deserves it... the only problem is, to keep her happy, he has to bring his boyfriend. The one he invented just over a year ago to keep her from worrying about him after their breakup. The one based on a guy who he's pretty sure doesn't even like him. At least Bucky agreed to go with him and pretend to be his boyfriend for the event.

    This is such a mistake.

    Peter Parker is incapable of having a normal day.

    Summary

    “I considered it for a long time,” Tony continues. “I thought I could be okay with it. I’d have myself convinced I could keep going on like this, but then I’d catch him looking at you. And I realized I couldn’t let him do it, staying with me when he loves you more.”

    “He doesn’t love me more, he just loves me differently,” Bucky says quietly. “C’mon, Tony. Like I said, I know him best. And I know he loves you just as much.”

    Tony’s jaw shifts. “I’ll try to believe that.”

    Bucky nods, a short thing. He keeps looking at Tony. “So, things have to end badly, huh?”

    “What?”

    “One of us ends up without him.”

    Summary

    In 2nd grade, Nicki Welch told Stiles Stilinski that his plaid shirt and Spiderman graphic tee looked stupid. He responded by looking pointedly at her stomach and saying that bloodsucking hookworms were inside about 700 million people.

    She cried for two hours, and Ms. Briar made him go to the quiet chair. “One day, your mouth is really going to get you into trouble!” she’d scolded with a wagging finger.

    Stiles contemplates those words as his dad’s new deputy hauls him into the station.

    He’s still totally going to blame Scott for the situation, though
