Summary
Vox squints his eyes. “Who?”
Val and Vel both stare at him, dumbfounded.
They share a look with each other, just as confused as him. Vel clears her throat. “The Radio Demon?” she tries, like he should recognize it.
He doesn’t.
“Radio?” Vox furrows his brow, thinking. “Kind of outdated, isn’t it? Aren’t we in the modern era of television right now?” He makes a wide sweeping gesture. “Out with the old, in with the new!”
***
or, an amnesiac box-head era Vox.
Featuring a very much meddling Alastor.

Summary
“Power shuts down, we lose connection, and I’m still stranded down here. So what’re you gonna do then? Sic him on me?” John asks. “He’s not a bloodhound, Jesus Christ.”
“Well,” Val hums in his earpiece. “The treatment made sure his senses would be far more enhanced than that of a regular super soldier. He’s got a damn good nose.”
“Yeah, sure, but he’ll also be in rut,” he reminds her.
“Then he’ll definitely find you. Besides, don’t all alphas like a good hunt? Chasing? Digging for a bone?” She laughs. “Think of it like that.”
***
John is on a solo mission. Val sends help.

Summary
Licking his lips, Bob brings the cupcake back to his mouth. “Why’d you choose this flavor, anyway?” he asks around another bite, a hand cupped underneath his chin to catch crumbs. “Is it your favorite or something?”
John looks up at the ceiling. “Don’t know, really,” he answers honestly, shrugging. “I’m just having a craving for something chocolate, I guess.”
or, John’s not good at baking. But he’s getting better.

Summary
“So hear me out. What if I set your shield on fire, right, and then you throw it? Like a sort of flaming frisbee. Think of the long range possibilities!”
***
The Watchtower isn’t exactly a five-star hotel, but out of all the places in New York for their alternate dimensional allies—because nothing brings people closer together than a common enemy, one big enough to apparently devour entire planets—to stay in, well.
It was a good temporary fix.
Some name tags might be needed, though.

Summary
John pants, supporting himself on the side of the tank. His clothes are sopping wet and clinging to his back, a heavy weight making it hard to keep afloat.
Sharp teeth retract back into pink gums, gold eyes returning to a placid blue and peeking over the water at him. Bob goes from predator to curious creature in the span of seconds, head tilting to the side and blinking.
Whatever the fuck that thing is, John thinks, pressing himself up against the glass, it’s not a mermaid, that’s for goddamn sure.
or, John is the new night guard and Bob is the local aquarium’s most recent attraction.

Summary
“I wasn’t going to jump, for fuck’s sake,” he repeats.
“You looked scared, John.”
“Well, duh!” He gestures all around them. “Any person with common sense would. We’re on, like, the hundred-something-ith floor, of course I’d be scared as shit to fall from this high up.”
Bob glances up at him, throat clicking. “You can be scared and still want to jump.”

Summary
“Describe what you feel,” John orders.
He squeezes his fingers one more time, not holding back and putting his all into feeling the muscle underneath, hard and solid as a rock. It does the trick, bringing the other man’s attention right back on him.
“Your hands. I can feel them on my knees, both of them,” Bob whispers.
“And what do you smell?”
“You,” he murmurs, “all I smell is you.”

Summary
“You know,” John says, breaking the silence between them. “I have another idea instead of playing cards. A better idea, in my opinion.”
Bob blinks, and then he’s leaning in, blanket slipping from his shoulders. “You do?” he asks, more than a little curious. “What is it?”
John brings an arm up, flexing it in the air. He pats at his bicep and feels a smug smile tilting up the side of his mouth. “You’re looking at the guy who punched your dad that one time. Wanna see me do it again?”
***
Usually, Yelena handles Bob when he’s in one of his moods. This time though, and on accident, John needs to pick up the slack. He just didn’t expect to come face-to-face with a little kid.

Summary
“Like I said, the kill switch was a failure. Got my team to do some digging and found out it was due to a chemical imbalance,” Valentina says. “Bob’s hormones are just… too intense, especially after repeated use of his abilities.”
“How exactly do I fit into this?”
She eyes him like he’s an idiot. “It’s biology, Walker. For a bootleg Captain America, you’re sure not as smart as him.”
***
John isn’t the ideal image of an omega. He’s rough and he’s crass and he’d rather choke on air than talk about feelings. And Bob is—well, he’s Bob. Somehow, they’re both exactly what each other needs.

Summary
“Don’t call me that,” Sentry demands, fingers digging in to the point of bruising. He lets go immediately, though, like a warning. “Don’t call me Bob, either. I’m—something else. Something greater.”
“Something greater?” John echoes, incredulous.
“Yes,” Sentry murmurs, hand skimming John’s beard before finding the edges of his jaw, tilting his chin up with ease. “Don’t you think so too? Because you could join me, if you’d like.”
***
Sentry offers John a deal during the penthouse fight.

Summary
He holds up a pair of fancy looking handcuffs, broken in half with the wires inside ripped apart and still firing off sparks. He dangles them in front of him like a small kid, looking guilty of all things.
“I kind of broke this on accident. Well, it was on purpose, actually. But it also looks kind of expensive, so I’m real sorry about that…” He pauses, blinking. “Uh, what’s going on in here?”
“I’m getting sucked dry,” John deadpans.
***
The team is split up, John is about to get his guts rearranged (not in a good way), and Bob is being held hostage. Well… that last part’s debatable.

Summary
“Whatever you put me in, Mr. Riddle, I want to stand out. Make me like a warning. I’ve heard about those, once. Frogs as bright as lightning bugs. Is that—can you do that for me? For us?”
Tom feels a stir in his stomach, flames he’d put out long ago smoldering like an ember landing in a dense pile of dry underbrush.
“Of course, Harry. What else am I here for?”
***
Tom is a simple Capitol stylist, not a revolutionary by any means. But he doesn’t mind dressing the part on someone else. Rebellion is, after all, couture.

Summary
The diadem burns to ashes, but that doesn’t mean the Horcrux inside is gone. Because like how drops of water tend to clump together, it merges with the closest soul fragment available. Harry Potter. After all, Horcruxes are awfully territorial things.
or, Harry defeats Voldemort with a little help.

Summary
“… what are you doing here, Mr. Potter?”
“You invited me for a cuppa a while ago. I wanted to take you up on the offer. But I see you’re busy harassing one of my students.”
Dumbledore opens his mouth to argue, the tense line of his shoulders hinting at the professor about to stand up, and Tom stumbles back into a firm chest.
***
It’s the start of fourth year and Tom Riddle finds a goose in his bed. There’s also a new Defense professor. Somehow, these two things are more related than it would seem.
(a spin on the goose of enforcement au.)

Summary
He lets out a sigh and keeps quiet, burrowing deeper into the soft part of Nasha’s stomach and letting her warmth envelop him.
Because how do you tell someone that you miss someone else, when that same someone else is also you? Miss them to the point of tearing your throat up, scarring your insides forever and ever?
(No one said self-love was supposed to hurt.)

Summary
“You know, when I told you to start fighting for yourself, this wasn’t what I meant,” Nasha starts, settling down with her tray next to his and pointing at where Eighteen’s grabbing someone’s collar over on the other side of the cafeteria.
Mickey lets out a bone deep sigh, stuffing his face with a square of protein that tastes like slop.
God, he misses macaroons.
“Yeah,” he mumbles around the food in his mouth. “I didn’t think so too.”

Summary
“I killed him,” Eighteen just repeats, sounding proud of himself and more than a little manic. Then he pulls back the tiniest amount, and this time actually does bite at the back of Mickey’s neck, quick and hard like an animal.
***
Mickey and Eighteen continue arguing about the dinner incident, and Kenneth Marshall dies earlier in the story than he would have. Somehow, they still make it out alive.

Summary
“There! That! Stop it!” Riddle demands.
“I’m trying!” he mumble-shouts, coming out garbled from behind his gross, sweaty palms. But there’s no denying the distinct cockney accent tailing the end of his words, softening his T’s.
And it’s funny how much more red Riddle’s face is getting, but also, Ginny’s still kind of almost dead and there’s a giant basilisk on the loose.
***
Parseltongue isn’t the only thing Harry inherits from Tom Riddle.

Summary
“I can speak to snakes too!”
He doesn’t drop his wand but it’s a near thing.
The transfer smiles at him, brighter than the lumos still hanging overhead, relief and happiness so clear in his gray eyes that for a second, Tom doesn’t know what to do.
***
Cedric Diggory does not die by the Dark Lord’s hand, but by a man who kills at his command. Unfortunately, mother magic still takes this as sacrifice enough.
(Because casting spells in a graveyard full of ghosts was bound to have consequences.)

Boq and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Time Loop Dilemma by marsh5000

Summary
“Um, it says there might be some memory loss.”
“What!” Boq shouts.
“Messing with time isn’t something I do on a daily basis.”
***
In a desperate bid to change their future, Elphaba sends Boq of all people hurtling into the past. Armed with a pocket watch and not nearly enough information, his mission is simple: befriend Elphaba Thropp and figure out how she becomes public enemy number one.
or, the time loop fic where Boq stumbles through history, dies a few times, and keeps running into a prince who’s not as callow, not as shallow, as he pretends to be.
