Moditimed: Know Time
Fics in which secrets/information come(s) to light, either deliberately, or (somewhat) unwillingly, & the changes that brings.
A mix of events coming to light earlier than in canon, or during/after the fact, thus changing the (longterm) outcome; (occasionally involves brief time travel).Also fics where a particular (canon) line/conversation is a catalyst for communication &/or change.
Mostly short-ish/er, minimal to moderate impact on the long-term timeline (though possibly major impact on relationships)

Two Nickels: Buck’s parent dies
-----
"I think Buck romanticizes his sister’s involvement in his early life. I know she loved Evan, but she wasn’t as attentive to him as he thinks. It’s perhaps just in comparison to how absent Margaret and I were.” Philip sighed. “I suppose anything can seem like an oasis when you’re dying of thirst." -

Summary
Someone has unleashed a horde of good (er-possibly OVER) communication fairies on the MCU. Pepper’s convinced that someone’s dosing Tony’s shot glass with a revolutionary new truth serum (because Sodium Pentothal would only make him babble more than he already does). And Steve doesn’t know what happened but even before the serum people were suddenly talking to him (not that he likes what they’re saying but it’s better than being summarily dismissed).
However the Powers that Be are NOT going to stand for this. If they have to drop an asteroid on Nick Fury’s dog to keep the plot on track THEY WILL DO IT (They’re not sure how the asteroid will help, but gosh-darn, they’re willing)! Whatever it takes, no matter what. Communication will NOT be allowed to get in the way of explosions and action scenes!!!
To keep things vaguely orderly I’m restructuring as a series with each movie being its own story and each chapter is a scene, possibly (if necessary) followed by a TPTB induced course correction.

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.
[Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang
kidnapsadopts Zuko in book one after discovering just how awful his father is.] -

Summary
“Excuse me, are you Buck?” A tentative voice calls out from his left, cutting off whatever it is that Bobby had just been about to say. He turns to see a woman walking over, smiling at him like she’s greeting an old friend.
“I’m.. uh, yes?” He replies, ears still ringing with the words exhausting and suck it up and bail me out of jail.
Her answering grin is delighted and Buck can’t remember the last time someone was so happy to see him.
-
In which Buck is recognised by someone he saved during the tsunami and it’s the catalyst that knocks some much needed sense into everyone.
Lena “in my defence no one here emotes in a healthy way” Bosko also hammers home some truths into Bobby’s skull.
