    Summary

    Potter is utterly livid. He turns on himself, but stops at the door’s skirt. There’s a beat of silence and Draco doesn’t look, clamps his eyes shut, holds his breath. Potter says it on an exhale, so that it rings true and honest and crystal clear to Draco’s ears.

    “You’re not worth it, anyway.”

    It’s another blow to the head, a contravention with Draco’s name on it, a new poison to be served at breakfast. Draco doesn’t think he could shrink into himself any further if he tried. Potter walks away and he must be halfway gone already when Draco hears him say, low and resentful, in a manner that reminds him of his own father.

    “Your father said: forgive me.”

    Or: Draco does time in Azkaban. The aftermath is legendary.

    Summary

    “Captain America represents the values of our country. The recent allegations about his sexuality are specious and designed to smear an American icon. Captain Rogers regularly attends the Church of Saint Agnes and invites the citizens of New York to attend worship with him this Sunday, April 14th. God bless America.”


    Nobody was ever going to know. Steve would be a good husband, a good father, and he’d never give in to sin and touch another man.

    But Steve makes two mistakes, one after the other: he leaves two words out of the Pledge of Allegiance, and he doesn’t notice a camera flash among the strobe lights of a dark club, because he’s dancing with his clumsy hands on Tony’s hips.

    Summary

    It's an old game he and Stick used to play. Maybe not a game; something more like a test.

    "Tell me what you taste."

    Stick bought him an ice cream, the first time, but the game quickly expanded. From plain white rice (so much hiding in something so simple), to jerk chicken from Restaurant Row (Stick would make him pick out every last spice, in order of volume, then list their origins). Every wrong answer meant the swift crack of Stick’s cane across his shoulders or a jab behind the knee.

    If he omitted an ingredient, he'd have to keep eating until he got them all—even if he'd already identified after the tiniest bite, say, the soiled band-aid the short-order cook had dropped in the chili and left to stew all day.

    In which Matt Murdock dismantles a child trafficking ring while dealing with the ghosts of his past.

    Summary

    Grief presses deep into his shoulders, shadowed fingers cold about his throat.

    Tony Stark aches, aches in a way he hasn't since Jarvis passed, aches in way that batters away his ribs from inside his chest and curls painfully in his marrow.

    And from the back of the church, something bitter twists in his mouth as he studies Rogers.

    Or: Tony Stark attends Aunt Peggy's funeral, and the world spins in a direction radiating dissonance.

    Summary

    After the events of Without Irony, Tony wakes up with a freshly rebooted memory and nearly all of his memories from before the deletion and none after. Nearly all isn't nearly enough, and what's missing just might be the most important thing he's ever forgotten. Tony's not sure he wants to remember, but if he doesn't it's going to be the death of him.
