Summary
Spider-Man laughed so hard he fell off the Statue of Liberty. Johnny craned his neck to look for him, only to nearly get webbed in the face.
“Watch it!” he said, scrambling back.
“Sorry,” Spider-Man gasped out, swinging back up. “Kind of hard to aim through tears of mirth. Seriously? Seriously, seriously?”
“Seriously, what?” Johnny said, rolling his eyes.
“They want to make a musical about me,” Spider-Man said, drawing the words out very slowly like he was talking to a small child. Johnny flicked a spark at his gesturing hands. “They want this musical to star you. They want you to play me.”

Summary
“Does this new man even like you?” Darren said. “Or is this just the latest in a long line of cries for attention? I’d have thought Johnny Storm, back from the dead, would’ve kept you going for a few more months.”
“What?” Johnny said.
“I mean,” Darren said, shrugging with that kind of deceptive casualness Johnny recognized so well but had never been able to replicate. “This new boyfriend rumor’s everywhere, you’ve been snapped a couple times, but he’s never around you, he hasn’t met any of your friends. No one’s seen hide nor hair of him, and now this? He can’t even be bothered to make it to your birthday party?”
--
Months after his return from the Negative Zone, a surprise party awakens a host of old insecurities in Johnny.

Summary
Clint looks around at the team again. He sees the pain in their eyes, the way Natasha is rolling his arrow between her fingers, the general sense of depression over the room, and suddenly his question from earlier is a lot more morbid.
Who died?
“Crap,” he says, watching Tony silently drink his whiskey. “I think I did.”

Summary
“What in the hell did you do, Stevie?” Bucky hisses when they’re out of earshot of the agent at the door.
“I solved the problem, Buck!” Steve says, with a shit-eating grin that strikes fear into Bucky’s heart. “See, I was Googling, and —”
“No,” Bucky whimpers, dread welling up in his chest. “Whatever it is, no.”
They are in the small staff kitchen now, and Sam looks up inquiringly. “Don’t tell me he actually went for it,” he says, his voice gleeful.
“Of course he went for it,” Steve says, trying to keep the snicker out of his voice. “They love him in that part of town,” he repeats in a crooning falsetto.
Bucky feels like he’s about to burst a blood vessel. “What the fuck did you two do?!?”
Steve bites his lip, looking a little repentant. He unlocks his phone and hands it to Bucky, open to Google Maps.
“Four Seasons…Total Landscaping?!?” Bucky reads. “What the fu —” He hits street view, and his legs grow weak.

Summary
The locker room chatter started up almost at once, providing a screen of background noise. Zhenya sat down beside the ghost. “I’m captain. Evgeni Malkin.”
“Sidney Crosby,” the ghost said. He didn’t offer his hand, which made Zhenya think he had been dead for a while, long enough to shed the ingrained habits of the living. “I’m, uh. Is it really 2018?”

Summary
They found him when he was still small, washed up on a rocky beach on the far end of Vancouver Island. Jenny had been the one to stumble across him, unconscious and still bleeding sluggishly from a gash in his leg; Jordie had found his pelt tangled up in a log a handful of metres away.
They were island folk. They knew what that meant.
