    Summary

    “What is a ‘field trip’?”   

    The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time. 

    Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years. 

    And maybe he’s not wrong. 

    Don’t ever tell him I said that.

    ********

    There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    “Tell me, Knave.”

    Arlecchino felt as though she was drawing her first proper breath in minutes. Cold sweat drenched her from head to toe. Her sleeveless top clung uncomfortably to her skin, soaked through, while the harsh sound of her own breathing echoed throughout the otherwise quiet room. After the extraction, her thoughts felt sluggish, as though the machine had taken more than just her fire.

    “When you said you would ‘kill Dottore with your own hands’, did you only mean a specific segment?”

    The 8-year-old kid looked straight at Arlecchino’s eyes.

    “—Or did you mean all of us?”

    - - - - - - - -

    Arlecchino found herself confronted by a question she had never considered before.

    Summary

    “Strip.”

    The request-slash-command went through Childe’s head.

    They locked in a very long, very awkward stare-down.

    Eventually, Dottore released a slow, exhausted sigh, completed with a long-suffering expression of a man reconsidering every life choice that had led him to this room. He looked like someone who wished he were literally anywhere else. Well, jokes on him. Childe felt exactly the same.

    “Childe,” Dottore said patiently, in the tone one might use for a particularly dense child, “I need to examine the wound on your stomach. Might I remind you that you were nearly skewered through the abdomen by an Abyssal creature?”

    - - - - - - - -

    Childe was hospitalized, and Dottore lamented the fact that none of the Fatui Harbingers possessed even the slightest sense of self-preservation.

    Summary

    Five times Dottore observes Pantalone vulnerable, and one time Pantalone observes Dottore back.

    "And I suppose if I'm ever confronted physically, I should blast them away with my signature?" Pantalone chuckled. "How very effective indeed."

    "Let us hope it never comes to that." Dottore said. "But if it did, I would simply handle them in your stead."

    Perhaps Pantalone should have investigated that sentence further. But he just wanted another smoke.

    Summary

    After the public death of a superhuman 15 year old, teenage superheroes are forced to wear government-issued clothing that marks them as underage.
    Or; Peter is backed into a corner, Tony Stark grows increasingly frustrated, and New York protects their own.

     

    Peter focusses on the pedestrians, on their whispering and pointing. At Peter. At his blue Regulation Jacket, in the middle of Times Square, blown up to epic proportions on the huge towering screens.

    Oh.

    “Oh,” Peter says, dumbly. “Oh no.”

    Summary

    "Wow, dude, this thing is awesome. Does it generate its own electricity?" Peter flipped the hammer once in the air and caught it, watching in amazement as sparks danced over it. "Like, I know you're the god of thunder, but I didn't know your hammer had magic powers too! That is so cool. I want one. Like, I won't get it, obviously, 'cause I don't want to steal your thunder—no pun intended.”

    He grinned at his totally-intended pun, but Thor didn't react. Not even a twitch of the lips.

    “Okay, yeah, that was a dumb joke,” Peter admitted. “Sorry. Here's your hammer, Mr. Thor.” He held out the weapon to its rightful owner.

    Thor just stared.

     

    (Peter Parker meets Thor for the first time. It does not go as expected.)

    Summary

    Barnes is now glaring at him for some reason. It's somewhat terrifying but also, oddly, a little reassuring— because that's emotion right there, which means there's still somebody behind those eyes. Somebody who seems to think Sam is being a bit slow on the uptake. "Time parameters exceeded. Mission failed."

    "Wait." Sam narrows his eyes. "Is this some kind of... report? Debriefing?"

    "Mission report," confirms Barnes, looking pleased. Well, looking slightly less murderous than before.

    In which various people deal with things they never signed up for, but at the end of the day no one's particularly surprised.

    Summary

    When Tony accidentally falls asleep on Steve, Steve is...tense about it. Tony would just assume that Steve hadn't wanted to be slept on...except Steve is the one apologizing for letting him sleep.

    That is weird, and the more Tony thinks about it, the more he begins to think there is something deeper going on.

    Because people don't really touch Steve, and he thinks that needs to be fixed.

    Summary

    Tony accidentally stumbles onto the fact that Steve isn't holding things together quite as well as he makes it look. As awkward as it is at first, Tony's been there, and he finds himself reaching out to him.

    But the more he tries to push past Steve's walls the more he realises just how deep his issues go. And they all seem to be pointing in one direction.

    Should he really be surprised to find SHIELD is at the root of it?

    Summary

    Tartaglia, who is still stinging from the unfortunate events that went down in Liyue, notices Pantalone's coat has the wrong color gem and aiguillettes hanging off of his shoulder and points it out to him.

    Columbina has a little misunderstanding with Sandrone, so she has no one to bother for the day except Dottore and quickly notices he is wearing the wrong coat. She takes her time pointing it out to him, however.

    Summary

    In the sealed scroll he finds a Bingo Book – his own page marking him as an S-class nukenin with flee-on-sight orders.

    “Ok. That is definitely different.”

    In his head he blames Naruto – even if his number one unpredictable student had been nowhere near him on this mission. When things go this stupidly impossibly wrong it must somehow be the future Hokage’s fault.

    This work is so unbelievably good that I became tied to my screen for two days as I read it from beginning to end. Any praise I am capable of expressing for this work is an understatement to the depth of my adoration for it.

    Summary

    They say hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned, but the wrath of a scorned son comes pretty close. The day his brother massacred the Uchiha clan, Sasuke shrugged. None of those people cared about him anyway. Years later he tries to leave his clan's shadow as a loyal shinobi of Konoha.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Definitely one of my top 10 recommendations for Political Intrigue fiction in the Naruto setting. It's wonderful to read as systematic incompetence is throughoutly dismantled.

    Although this fic hasn't been updated since 2013, its current 9 chapters are definitely worth a read for anyone interested in seeing shinobi actually be competent for once and/or having other characters call out how stupid it is that the village has gotten this incompetent.

    Pros? Well... he's not dead.
    Cons? Looking up at worried, amaranthine purple eyes and short horns, feeling the heavy weight of a- something- idly moving behind his back... he decided to go back to sleep. If he absolutely had to be Shukaku, the most idiotically tragic tanuki to ever walk the face of the earth, then he could at least do it after a good night's rest.
