Summary
Richie becoming a ghost rider is an accident. Though, if getting murdered by Henry Bowers in the junkyard means he’ll get superpowers from the clown spirit that apparated into his living room, he sure as hell doesn’t regret anything.
That’s a lie. Getting shot fucking hurts.

“How far would you go for Harley?”
"To the end of time.” Peter says firmly, gripping his mask in one hand, “to the end of the universe.”
"It’s no spaceship,” Tony warns him, “Getting to Thanos is not an easy path – not for the sensitive of souls”
He pauses. "So do you really wanna go?”
"With all my heart.”
Tony regards him. “Well, that’s a start.”

Summary
They say that Death is omniscient; a benevolent being clothed in spidery drapes with the souls of the unforgivable sewn into them, a cold void for a face and wielding its double-edged scythe like a man on a mission.
They say that Death is equality. It comes for all – there are no distinctions between who it takes. Throughout the whole of time Death takes. Relentless and unforgivable. There’s nothing to death. Not when you know that death is inevitable.
They say that Death is a hurricane – unpredictable, a ruthless, savage beast that shreds through the way of life and tears loved ones away from each other.
For Nora, Death comes in the form of a broken promise.

Summary
It starts with a blind date and a mistake but slowly becomes so much more.
—
Barry has been waiting for twenty-seven minutes now. The waiters have started giving him pitying looks as they serve him yet another glass of tap water – even the lady sitting in the corner of the café shoots him a sympathetic glance over the rim of her mug.
He’s just about to leave when his eyes flicker to the door and everything stops.
Oliver Queen walks through the door. Oliver-freaking-Queen.

Summary
“You hate us for making you better,” Dick continues against his will. He doesn’t want to be saying this, but really, how dare Bruce be so surprised to hear it? He should understand better than any of them how defective his relationship skills are. He has no right to pretend it isn’t true now that they can all hear it aloud. “But you hate yourself more for making us worse, which is—it’s fucked up, but we’re all fucked up, and it’s—it’s only partially your fault. You secretly wish you’d never met any of us, and you’d be right about it because now we hate ourselves, too.”
How can Bruce have the audacity to look heartbroken when he already knew all of this? Why is he pretending? Why does he keep lying?
(Dick is dosed with truth serum, and the effects will take at least a day to wear off. During that time, Dick is forced to reveal and confront truths about himself that he never wanted to acknowledge. )

Summary
Everybody had expected Monarch's defeat to be a moment of triumph. Nobody had expected Gabriel Agreste, unmasked and mind frayed from continual abuse of the miraculous, crying out to all who would listen and making Paris certain of one thing:
His son, Adrien Agreste, is one of his sentimonsters.
And now he's missing.
Nobody can find him— not even the superheroes, and not even his closest friends. But Marinette, Nino, and Alya aren't ones to give up so easily. They'll find him, no matter what it takes.
(But, geez, would it kill Chat Noir to lend a hand?)

Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)
