Summary
He hangs Will’s painting in Max’s room. It’s possibly for Lucas’ benefit than it is for Max’s but Lucas looks so painfully grateful for it that Mike can’t bring himself to take it back. Even if he spends the few nights he gets at home staring at the wall where he’d thought -for one brief bright moment when he’d dared to believe they’d win again- that he’d get to hang it.
“He’s getting too good.” Lucas says, apropos nothing. Mike follows his eyes to the painting, to them, hopeful and young and triumphant.
When Mike had seen it first, it had felt like he’d re-settled in his skin for the first time in years. He wonders what it means, when the most real he’s ever felt is in Will’s brushstrokes.
or
Mike is a fan of destiny, fate and literary symmetry. Will is rather attached to his own choices.

Rise, Sir Barnes by maukree for MassiveSpaceWren

Summary
When he looks up, there’s a man standing before him. A man with deep brown eyes, a sharp jaw covered in facial hair, and a crown perched atop dark, unruly hair.
“Rise, Sir Barnes.”
Bucky was barely sixteen when they took him from home, put steel in his hand, and told him he was a soldier. He’s twenty-nine now, and after over a decade of fighting someone else’s wars, he has no loyalty left to give this kingdom—left it in the snow along with his limb—until he’s knighted by the Merchant of Death.

Summary
He sleeps right through the apocalypse.
When he finally wakes up, the Earth's already gone to shit and finished its smoke break. There's more sand in the air than ash, static on every frequency that’s been drilled into him, and too much sun all around.
The first thing the Asset does after crawling out of the collapsed bunker is put a bullet through a rat the size of a toddler trying to chew his boot off. The first thing Bucky does, though that happens much later, is laugh. It’s real fucking ironic to be standing in a sea of burning sand after centuries in his deep-freeze deluxe and still be cold.
Hell of a welcome back.
It’s simple. The world ended. He didn’t.

Summary
The picture changed again, and Pepper gasped sharply.
Tony Stark lay flat on his back.
The billionaire subsequently breathed in and blinked awake in a half startled grunt. Pepper and Happy watched in frozen shock as Tony watched the ceiling a moment before turning his head to the side. Then his head went back again, and he closed his eyes with a groan. The camera trailed over to the source of Tony’s displeasure. There at his side, still unconscious, was Captain Steve Rogers.
Or rather:
Several months after Civil War, a new threat presents itself, in which Tony, Steve, Peter, Sam, Wanda, Clint, Natasha, Bruce and Bucky are captured and thrown together on an Island that had been manufactured by Hydra. Trapped, The Avengers have no other choice but to rely on both their wits and one another as they brave the elements, face off against new foes eager to make a name for themselves, and of course, try and make their way home alive.
(So far, the only thing they can agree on is keeping spider kid from dying, which is a pretty low bar, but it’s a start.)
Oh, and they have no idea that their every move is being filmed and broadcasted live on national television.

Summary
Still reeling from Tony and Natasha's deaths, Steve goes back to 2012, using his knowledge of the future to alter the timeline. This time, they'll stop Thanos without losing anyone. This time, he's going to do things right, whatever it takes.
What he failed to anticipate, however, was developing feelings for the one person who is strictly off-limits.
It should've been simple. All he had to do was keep the Avengers together, save the world, and not fall in love with Tony in the process. Instead, one change after another sends events spiraling off in a new and unpredictable direction. Now, the future he remembers is gone, and his meddling might just cost Tony the very thing he came back to protect.

Summary
“I see him,” He says, voice crackling like a fire struggling to stay lit. “Every night when I go to sleep. I see him die. It’s never the same. And then I see his ghost, and he never goes away.” He offers her a wry smile, finally looking away from Quentin to meet her eyes. “I’m literally being haunted by the ghost of my past and there’s no escape. Sleep only makes it worse. Being drunk makes it more vivid. Being high makes me nauseous. I can’t fucking escape it or him or how much it fucking hurts.” He waves a hand. “Is that what you wanted to hear?”
He half expects the world to burst into flames around him. But no fire singes his skin. Kady just narrows her eyes, lets go of his knee and stands up. “Don’t go anywhere.”
He’s too tired to move. “Couldn’t if I wanted to,” he says.
Too tired to breathe, sometimes.
--
Or, a little bit of accidental magic, a significant amount of angst, and one resurrection.

Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?

In a world where the first words you ever speak to your soulmate appear once both soulmates have turned seventeen, Harry receives a bit of bad news.

In which Harry fashions himself into a war bride.

Summary
Watching his parents' ex-friend attempt to resurrect a mass-murdering Dark Lord was not how Harry expected the Third Task to go.
He knows he has to think quickly and act quicker if he has any hope of surviving this year's confrontation, so Harry takes a risk. It's a potentially very dumb risk, but Peter is approaching him with a very sharp knife, and Harry knows he is running out of time.
Pro: He puts a stop to the Dark Lord's grand rebirth, and dies heroically as Peter kills him in a grief-fuelled rage.
Con: He doesn't put a stop to it, and dies slightly less heroically at the hand of an insane egomaniac. Said egomaniac goes on to rule the World. Or Britain.
The blade glints in the moonlight and Harry reckons if he's going to die either way; how much harm could a few words really do?

Summary
Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy. Samantha is clearly gifted, maybe the most powerful witch or wizard to ever come through Hogwarts, and yet she has no idea how to take the curse off. As they work to remove it—and also teach Samantha how to control a power that's becoming more dangerous by the day—will Harry's truths become too much to handle? And will whatever’s going on with Draco just make everything exponentially worse?

Harry Potter is a missing person. Draco Malfoy is a vampire. They are the last two people one would expect to bump into each other in a Creature Bar in Prague, yet to Draco’s absolute shock that is definitely Harry fucking Potter sitting across from him.
Even more surprising is that Potter may have a case for him.
