    Summary

    A series of unrelated one shots with one thing in common- Tony Stark is a Holmes. Or half a Holmes technically. Its also the world's best kept secret (until it isn't, that is).

    Summary

    "Honestly, there are a lot of days lately where I can’t help but think the world, and us, would be better off if Tony Stark had never been born.”

    In a world of gods and monsters, it is dangerous to speak wishes aloud, when anyone or anything could be listening. Some people do not appreciate the way the Avengers treat Tony Stark, and one careless wish spoken where they can hear abandons the Avengers in a world where Tony Stark doesn't exist, and all the good he's gone never was.

    It reveals a lot of truths.

    Some hurt more than others.

    Summary

    Three years after the media-coined Civil War, the US government has pushed through pardons for the Rogue Avengers. However, they're going to have to face the real world now, rather than living off the money and good grace of Tony Stark.

    A series of somewhat-connected snapshots from the Rogues' return to the Compound on, and their realizations that life won't be as easy as it was before. Slight canon divergence in that there's not yet any threat of Thanos.

    Summary

    Various unconnected post-CW scenarios in which the ex-Avengers get what’s coming to them, turn on each other, get slapped in the face with the truth that Tony’s doing fine without them, etc. Some fantastical and unbelievable, some more realistic. Basically fuel for my bitter, bitter post-Civil War heart. Mostly oneshots with a few multi-chapter ones thrown in. All will be Team Cap negative (particularly Steve and Wanda) but generally Bucky neutral/positive.

    Summary

    Eight years ago, Tony Stark lay dying on the Afghan sand, the shrapnel of his own bombs having pierced his very heart, betrayed by his beloved godfather and left to die. Now, he lay helpless in a Siberian bunker, weighed down by his own dead armor, utterly wrecked by the friend he'd so naively trusted.

    But despite the world’s best efforts to break him, he lives. He comes back with a vengeance, stronger than ever, refusing to be defeated. Ever the mechanic, he fixes things. He builds a brighter future, a safer planet, and a loving family from the ashes of what he has lost.

    … or, my self-indulgent long-ass fic filled with my trademark bitterness and bias that asks the question: what would happen leading up to and during IW if Tony completely turns his back on the Rogue Avengers post-Civil War?

    Summary

    A series of oneshot stories exploring reconciliation in the wake of the events of Captain America: Civil War, mostly centered around Tony and the Barton family, but featuring all of the Avengers at some point or another.

    A fix-it without changing the events of CACW.

    Even though I really want to.

    Summary

    “This job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved.”

    At the end of the day Steve did save everybody. He saved Bucky from Tony, his team from the government, the world from the Sokovia Accords. Some time would probably have to pass for things to blow over, and then everything would go back to normal. Couple of days. Tops. After all Team Cap saved everybody, showing the world how dangerous the accords were, how easily they could be abused. Even their supporters had to come to their senses now.

    Yet five days after Siberia nobody feels safe. Things don’t calm down and suddenly it’s again Steve against the rest of the world. Only now it’s not some international organisation or government but the people. The ones he had saved. Slowly Captain America must realize that they don’t feel saved but angry, hurt and scared.
    The people demand justice for those who were really trying to save them and paid the price for it.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    The MCU is terrible about showing realistic consequences for things that happen (especially for Steve Rogers). They just gloss over the (very serious) things that should/could have happened if the movies were to actually follow real world logic. So this is my attempt at bringing some realism to the MCU in the form of short unconnected snippets of AU scenarios.

    Prompts are always welcomed. If you have an idea of something you'd like to see, just tell me in the comments.

    It doesn’t sound so awful to Shane. There are worse people he could be spending all his hours with than Ryan Bergara.

    Summary

    “Alright,” Ryan said to the pitch black room. “We’re going to turn on something you can use to communicate with us. Could you say our names back to us? I’m Ryan.”

     

    “And I’m Shane,” groaned his counterpart. Shane fucking hated the spirit box. For more reasons than one. For one, it was ear-shatteringly loud, and two, it didn’t even work half the time. But the worst thing about it, the thing that Shane would rather die than ever tell Ryan, is that it was designed to pick up on anything supernatural in the area. Including him.

     

    OR: Shane is a demonic entity, forever cursing the spirit box for being able to pick up on his thoughts. Especially when said thoughts have to do with a certain ghost-hunting human.
