    Summary

    "A witch popped out of a rabbit hole in Central Park," Tony says. "Sorceress. Evil person. She was making inanimate objects come to life, there’s still trash cans running around Central Park, throwing beer cans at citizens, probably, Rhodey is wrangling them. Because with that suit of his, the hope is the trash cans might be persuaded to think of him as their supreme leader, or perhaps mother duck.”
    Her impatience is making a rapid comeback. “Stick to the medically relevant information, please.”
    “Kid says he was hit by a truth spell.”
    “Yes,” Peter says. “I was hit by a truth spell.”

    Summary

    On a perfectly average Tuesday night – as far as any night can be called perfectly average anymore nowadays – the sky goes pitch black above Manhattan, a violent storm rattles the roofs, vivid blue and purple lightning bolts illuminate the clouds.
    Once it is over, as suddenly as it began, news trickles in of difficult-to-explain phenomena occurring worldwide: The statue of liberty has changed color to a bright pink, an exact replica of the great wall of China has appeared across the Sahara desert, it rains feathers in Copenhagen for several hours, every single stapler on Sumba Island turns into a coat hanger, and Tony Stark wakes up from an impossible-to-wake-up-from coma.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins is not fond of company, and even less so of the company of children. Unfortunately, events conspire to force him into taking in two lost dwarf children with nowhere else to go. Eventually, their parents are bound to come for them, of that Bilbo is sure, and when they do, he'll be able to return to his quiet life.

    Little does he know...

    Summary

    In the course of her adventures, Bilbo finds herself pregnant. Without an offer of marriage from Thorin, she returns to the Shire to raise the child with the help of her family.

    The King Under the Mountain is heartbroken that Bilbo chooses to leave Erebor, but he cannot blame her. Not after he tried to kill her. There was a time when she would have proposed marriage, but that time is clearly past. If all he can have of her are her letters, then he will be grateful for the missives.

    Getting these two to talk just might take divine intervention. Or the intervention of a particularly interested child.
