Summary
“Just one, Harry.”
Dumbledore says solemnly.
“You can only save one.”
Harry stares quietly at the portrait of the old professor. Not long after, Dumbledore avoids his gaze.
“Yet another burden for you.”
His voice is sad. So Harry swallows the question rising in his chest. Why then? Why does he have to do this? Why does he need to be the one to choose who stays dead and who comes back? Harry swallows it not because he knows the answer, but because he knows what Dumbledore must have sacrificed to give him this chance.
“The choice is entirely yours.”
“I’ve made my choice.”

Summary
Tony Stark is a lost cause.
People believed he changed. But he didn’t. He never did. Yes, he’d stopped the weapons business. Yes, he repented for his sins. That doesn’t mean he is good. He may be good, but not really good. Not the way the others are. Tony Stark is a selfish hero. He only saves people to lessen his own guilt.
No, he had not changed. He had simply snapped. Snapped. His life in exchange for millions of lives. It was a solid deal. Only he didn’t die, so he was left to simply continue existing in a ruined body and ruined mind until he slowly descended into a cesspit of trauma, nightmares, substances, and solitude.
But people always do believe what they want to believe.
And so Tony Stark is resigned. Resigned to all the gossip, all the struggle, all the tidings of the world. He quietly awaits death, all the fire in him long but gone.
Then he finds himself in charge of a kid.
Two kids, actually. Two kids that drag him back into the light kicking and screaming. Two kids that he has to co-parent with Steve Rogers of all people.
A story of a found family, sobriety and mistakes, pining and confessing, lots of crying, and a bit of cuddling.

Summary
No Season 2 spoilers!
"So," Crowley began, "Aziraphale is...tainted. Changed. A part of him is no longer what it used to be."
"That is right."
"And that made him come precariously close to Falling."
"That is also right."
"It's my fault."
Crowley muttered, his blood running cold. This is all my fault. I should not have stayed so close to Aziraphale. Angel was right to distance himself from me, to fend off my influence. And yet I insisted. Time after time I begged for a shared bottle of wine, a stroll in the park, a day together in the bookshop. I have tempted Aziraphale without intending to, and now he has to pay the price.

Summary
Tony Stark is dying.
This is not his first time, but this will certainly be his last. A person can only die once, after all. Upon hearing the news of his impending doom, Tony’s reaction wasn’t one of fear, of dread, or of sadness. It is a profound sense of peace that comes over him, instead. He is finally granted rest. To step away from a lifetime of guilt and pain. He will be freed.
But the world needs Iron Man. Not Tony Stark, never Tony Stark, but Iron Man.
So Tony makes a plan.

Summary
Often in his darkest hour, Peter wished for Iron Man to come make things right. When Iron Man is pronounced dead, killed by an explosion created by a mad scientist, a small candle of hope is snuffed out inside of Peter. Then, and only then, Peter realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands. That there is no hero coming to save him. That is the day he decides to be the hero he so desperately needed.
Peter becomes Spiderman.
Hero work isn’t easy. Especially for Peter, who has a decade of trauma to carry and has no money in his pockets. As always, though, Peter makes it work. When it gets hard, Peter runs away. He sleeps under the open sky and eats food offered by kind volunteers. Then Peter returns. He always does.
Then one day, Peter finds a man lying in a ditch in his own blood. When he wakes, he gives an obviously fake name and freaks out when told to go to the city shelter and doesn’t know what month of the year it is. Oh, and he’s a genius mechanic. Everything about him is shady, and Dan, a good friend on the streets, wants nothing to do with him.
Naturally, Peter helps the man.

Summary
“So I’m supposed to go back in time and save Tony’s life, far before the snap even happened, because I…already did it, for Tony to have been alive until then. And that’s called a time paradox.”
“Yes.”
“And what if I don’t?”
“No one knows for certain, but the time-space continuity will likely cease to exist and this universe will implode.”
“I’m not even Captain America anymore.”
“That you aren’t.”
“What if I make it work?”
“There’s one more outcome. One I wasn't able to see, because the time paradox obscured it. There’s an outcome where everyone lives.”
