Summary
When the time comes, Harry Potter really wants to be a good lover. The only problem? He can’t trust anyone to show him the ropes without risking his face splashed across the Daily Prophet.
Until his best friend makes him an offer he can’t refuse.
“He swallowed. ‘Why?’
Her voice softened. ‘Because it’s a gift I can give you. Something only I can. And because… I want to. I want to be the one who helps you feel safe. Desired. I want to be the person you remember helped you figure it out.’”
Set during the long, quiet summer after eighth year, The Summer Between is the story of how Harry and Hermione — best friends, battle-forged, tender and tangled — decide to explore intimacy as practice, never expecting it to become the one thing neither of them can surrender.

Summary
"Maybe in another life, we’re lovers.”
Hermione’s breath caught.
He looked at her.
“And maybe this...” he gestured between them again, “...is just an alternate universe. A different version of that life.”Written for Harmony Out of the Ordinary Prompt Fest, it’s not a traditional AU. No time travel, no soul bonds, no swapped houses or Dark Lords returned.
Just two best friends in their thirties, tangled up in everything but the truth. Harry’s relationships keep ending for the same reason-- they all think he’s already in love with Hermione.
And maybe… they’re not wrong.
A slow, aching, tender unraveling of the story they've told themselves.
One night, one breakup, one firelit living room, one bottle of whiskey...and a universe where Harry and Hermione stop pretending not to be that other love story.

Summary
Tony does not actually slam down the metal tin of brownies, nor does he say aloud the words, "fight me, Helen,"
But the attitude is very much implied.
(or; fall is the time of change. both tony and may hope for the better.)

Summary
Taking HYDRA down isn’t all that easy when you have a former HYDRA-teenager following you around like a duckling. Peter doesn’t particularly seem to care who he gets to follow around, as long as it is someone.
Most of the clothes they gave the boy are a few sizes too big. He keeps tripping over his pant legs. Which both endears Tony and every so often gives him a mini heart attack when Peter yelps and disappears behind a table again.
Somehow attempting to parent this incredibly resourceful, incredibly awkward, incredibly unpredictable, incredibly teenage teenager, is simply becoming part of daily life in the Avenger household.Series
