Summary
“How many dates is this?” Verity asks, idly. “At some point, don’t you have to start wondering if he’s the problem, not the dates.”
“Thank you for your input, Vee,” Mobius sighs. “Don’t you have some tables to check up on? Or...”
He loses his train of thought as the man at the table leans forward languidly like a cat, resting his elbows on the table and gifting his current date with a Cheshire smile. A finger decorated with two thin gold rings above the middle knuckle traces around the edge of the highball glass suggestively and a lock of raven’s wing black hair falls out of his stylishly messy top knot and across his face.
Mobius wonders why someone like that feels the need to work so hard for attention, but the guy in the polo shirt with the perfect teeth sitting across from him barely seems to appreciate it so maybe that’s why. Mobius sure as hell is having a hard time looking away. The slit in that skirt is probably going to kill him before the night is over.
OR
Mobius works at the bar that Loki brings all his first dates to. None of them go well. Maybe someone needs a shoulder to cry on?

Summary
The man doesn’t even have time to get his hands up to protect his face before Loki is on him, straddling his wide waist and landing a hard jab straight down into his nose. It crunches satisfyingly under Loki’s fist, blood spilling out wet and warm, and the red exploding through his brain finally engulfs the whole thing.
“Loki!”
Words pour out of him, some of them in English, some in Old Icelandic, some in the language he knew before he was ever brought to Asgard. He doesn’t know what he’s saying, not really, only that he’s trying to purge himself of everything. All of it. The years of doing it alone. Doing it again. Doing it to failure. Over and over and over.
“Loki!”
His knuckles burn and his teeth are bared and he wants to pour this ache out of himself and into this poor excuse for a human being until he’s empty and there’s nothing left.
“Loki!”
OR
Loki expresses some of his pent-up frustration. Using his fists.

Summary
“And you’ve been doing this the whole time? Every day?”
“Not this exact—”
“Answer me, Loki.”
Loki sighs. “It’s the same day, Mobius. How do you actually count th—?”
“Don’t be an ass. You know what I mean.”
“Not… every day.” Loki’s gaze slips off Mobius’s face to look over his shoulder, trying to hide whatever emotion is in his eyes. “Sometimes it’s… too much. And I… leave. For a day.”
There’s something cautious in Loki’s tone, as though he’s worried that Mobius will have something to say about the fact that Loki is simply leaving sometimes. But all Mobius can focus on is ‘for a day’. Only a day? A single day at a time amid the drudgery and loneliness of heroism?
OR
Mobius notices something off about Loki while they're trying to repair the Temporal Loom.

Summary
Arthur hadn’t gone back to Arkham.
He technically wasn’t Arthur Lester anymore, either. Maybe he'd expected that to sting, the last piece of himself being removed like a splinter, but it was the least of the things he’d lost recently.
The first time he’d seen the creeping black fog curling out of the shadows on the street, he’d been on his way home from repairing a piano.
Sometimes, he would approach the homes on the job and there would only be a slight shadow clinging around the edges of the windows. Sometimes, the houses were enveloped completely in the blackness, leaving only enough room for Arthur to pass through and knock on the front door. And sometimes, he’d approach an unknown house made darker by the writhing shadows and the hair on his neck would stand on end.
All of those things could have been a trick of the light or a trick of Arthur’s likely diseased mind, but then the pianos started playing without him.
OR
John is gone, and Arthur goes back about the business of living. Until he finds himself thrust back into the dark underbelly of the world and decides to find his best friend. Or die trying.

Summary
“Come on. I’m terrible with this.”
Mobius waves the dagger around wildly as if to prove his point.
“That’s why you need to practice.” Loki steps forward, ducking under the swinging arc of the dagger, to adjust Mobius’s grip on the hilt. “Stop holding it like a toddler.”
“You give knives to toddlers!?”
“It’s a dagger and I got my first one when I was two and a half.”
“Yeah, and your upbringing is the standard by which all should be measured.”
OR
Loki commits to teaching Mobius self-defense and gets a little more than he bargained for. (An alternate take on S2:E2 just for fun.)

Summary
Wade Wilson works as a mercenary for The Organization and it's absolutely as shady as it sounds. But who is he to complain when someone will pay him to do the thing that he'd be doing for free anyway? (Murder. He's talking about the murder.)
Unfortunately, Government Black Ops aren't too keen on letting Wade do what he does best without a little bit of... insurance. Every merc is assigned a handler; a comms person in their ear that feeds them intel and makes sure they don't go (too) rogue.
And Wade? Well, he was just assigned a new one.

Summary
“Since you’re here, I need another blood sample.”
Before the words finish leaving Peter’s mouth, Deadpool has pulled a hunting knife off his belt, flipped the hilt in his hand, and run the razor-sharp point of the blade down the inside of his forearm. From just below those scarred puncture wounds all the way down to his wrist.
Dark blood pours out of the wound, perfuming the air with a scent that makes Peter’s mouth water and his fangs ache.
“Help yourself, black widow.”
OR
Peter and Deadpool have managed to survive the apocalypse so far. Now, holed up at Killebrew Labs, Peter attempts to solve Deadpool’s “zombie problem”. But when Killebrew starts revealing its secrets, they might not survive each other.

Summary
“A little help?”
He holds his beer up in front of himself just a little, hoping the innocuous task will coax Venom back out. The two of them can definitely talk when Venom is just a voice in Eddie’s head but, for conversations like this, where it’s serious even if Eddie isn’t sure why, face-to-face seems to work best.
A thin black tendril rolls out of the front of his shoulder and stretches toward the bottle cap, it’s almost there when Eddie reaches his other hand up and twirls his finger around the tendril. He tugs it gently away from his body as the tendril slips and twists around his finger.
“Love? Come out here, please.” The writhing ball python in Eddie’s rib cage stops its incessant slithering and the tendril coiling and curling around his finger goes still, too. “Did I do something wrong?”
OR
Venom is having some Feelings™️ after a conversation with one of Eddie's colleagues but, for the life of him, Eddie can’t figure out what those feelings are. Their conversation seems to be going nowhere, but the two of them have always communicated better in other ways...

Summary
“Gonna get real cold, real fast.” Glee sharp enough to cut slides off the words and Peter just manages to bite back an irate growl. “Might have to share body heat.”
Peter shoves his notebook into a pocket and turns toward the soldier with a scowl. He feels his fingers curl into hooks, ready to claw into something, ready to draw blood, ready to—
Fuck.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.
No.
“I’d rather die,” Peter grits out after a few measured breaths.
It occurs to him that, before the compound, he never would have spoken to Deadpool like this. But Peter doesn’t care now. The soldier is a psychopath, Peter has seen it firsthand. Except, he hasn’t killed Peter. And now he needs Peter. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to keep Peter from cowering.
OR
Peter and Deadpool keep an uneasy truce as they head to Killebrew Labs. The place the soldier has been trying to get to this whole time. Peter just wishes he knew why.

“Annie,” Eddie says forcefully. “Don’t you dare hang up right now.”
Even through the phone line, Eddie can feel the force of Anne’s eye roll.
“As if I would hang up; I’m still waiting for you to get to the point.”
“The job is the point,” Eddie insists.
“Is it?”
Eddie runs a hand down his face and sighs again.
“What are you doing?” he asks.
“I’m trying to figure out what you’re doing. For someone that makes a living off their words, you’re a terrible communicator.”
OR
Eddie finally apologizes to Anne.

Normal Frenemy Shit by zerospoons_onlyknives (oprime)

Summary
“Pass me the wontons,” Peter says before taking a long slurping drink through the straw in his soda.
“Nice manners, spider boy.”
“Pass me the wontons… dipshit.”
“Do I get to eat any of this food?”
Peter swivels his torso toward Wade and narrows his eyes again, a look that makes it feel like an elevator is free-falling in Wade’s chest. People are screaming, and lights are flickering, and everyone inside is going to die.
“Pass. Me. The. Wontons. Fucker.”
Wade rolls his eyes in response but hands the grease-spotted bag of wontons over. It’s not like he didn’t buy them with Peter in mind anyway. Wade has been doing shit like that a lot recently. He’s even considering, right now, at this very moment, letting Peter have the last word.
OR
Peter and Wade eat together (strange). Peter and Wade snipe at each other (normal). Deadpool gets hurt (of course). Spider-man offers an unusual method of pain management (it mostly works).

Summary
This time, Harley’s aware enough to jerk away from the punch and the fist glances off her cheekbone, catching her nose. It doesn’t send her into the stars like the last one, but she feels blood rolling thick and hot out of one nostril, trickling slowly toward her mouth.
“Ya missed,” she grins up at him widely before licking at her upper lip and tasting blood.
The goon’s face flushes red and he scowls.
“I won’t miss again, you freak bitch.”
“Technically, ya didn’t miss the first time.” She jerks her head toward the pool of vomit on the floor next to her and keeps smiling. The smiling always freaks them out. And she has a reason to smile, they just don’t know it yet.
“Stop talking,” he growls, cocking his arm back again, his hand fisted so tightly that his knuckles blanch white. “I hope this next one breaks your fucking jaw.”
OR
The one where Harley's night takes a (semi) unexpected turn, and she rolls with the punches (literally).

Summary
“Wade,” Spider-man grouses as he gets a good look at the cuffs and chains, “you can get out of these on your own.”
“That doesn’t mean I wasn’t kidnapped.” Spider-man cocks his head at Wade’s insistence like a disbelieving little bird. “C’mon, Spides. How many times a day should one have to dislocate one’s shoulder?”
“One wouldn’t even need to dislocate one’s shoulder, would one?” Spider-man drops his hand, fixing Wade with a Look, their faces less than a foot apart. “Where are the keys, Wade?”
“Would you believe down my pants?”
“I mean, yeah. Kinda.”
“Damn. Really? I guess that missed opportunity is on me then.”
A snorting laugh escapes through Spider-man’s mask as he rocks back on his heels, doing his little gargoyle perch thing. Wade likes having Spidey’s face close to his, but he likes this view, too. All broad shoulders and narrow hips, and spread thighs Wade wouldn’t mind—
OR
Peter has a shitty day as Spider-man so Wade tries to make him feel better in the most Deadpool way possible.

Summary
“Listen.” Eddie leans forward to snag his half-drunk, lukewarm beer out of the cupholder attached to his armrest. “You’re always begging to know more about human customs and shit.” He slouches back in his chair and kicks his feet up on the back of the seat in front of him. The stadium is dead, Venom was right about that, so he doesn’t feel like as much of a dick for spreading out. “And now I’ve brought you to the most human of all human things and you’re complaining.”
A tendril slips out of the side of Eddie’s neck and snakes up to tug on a piece of his hair.
You can’t lie to us, Eddie. We’re in your brain.
“Well, get out then,” Eddie suggests, tipping his head back to drain his beer.
OR
Eddie tries to hide from his problems at a Giants game and Venom passes judgement on America's Pastime.
