Summary
Solitary. In the confinement of his cell or his entire life? He could no longer tell.
Alex Rider’s luck had finally ran out and 3 months later he was still held prisoner in the Moroccan arms dealers base. He had embarked on countless escape attempts which had all been foiled. The next best option was to get to a phone to contact MI6’s emergency number. It would have been a success if:
1. He wasn’t drugged senseless
2. He could actually remember making the call
3. He had indeed called MI6 and not someone else…

A knife to the ribs isn’t exactly what Alex would have chosen as a twenty-first birthday present. Running into Yassen Gregorovich whilst he’s injured and in the middle of trying to escape - even less so.

Summary
"Alex, who keeps sending you all this shite?"
“Oh, well, it’s a weird story,” Alex said, apologizing in advance, “so I have...well. I have this...not quite an uncle, and not like a godfather since Ian was angry at that, but in a weird standoff way. But he lives in Australia, and we both know Ian wouldn’t go anywhere near someone he hated, but I’ve been to all the cities so only the Outback is left.”
“But you said he isn’t an uncle-.”
"He isn't! Okay so, ignore the bastard in the actual Outback. I have this other one, and apparently he has a bigger grudge match with my not-godfather out in the Outback, so to piss off that bloke more, I call the other one Outback-Uncle.”
“I would die for Outback-Uncle,” Tom said.

Summary
He said, “aren’t Tuques only Canadian hats?”
His enemy, maybe in his twenties, shrugged and looked at his hat with open misery. “Yeah but puns are really important to me in crisis situations.”
Hunter almost paused, “...puns?”
“Wool, that was anticlimatic.”
Hunter put the gun on the nearest table, deciding not to use it as a throwable weapon. “Jesus.”
The other scoffed, looking visibly upset. “Oi! Fuck ewe.”
Okay, this kid had to die.

Summary
This is how the world actually works: instead of leading soldiers into battle, Shang is given command over a disorganized bunch of conscripted civilians who don't know the business end of a sword. Instead of fighting to defend China, he is stuck training these misfits into something resembling soldiers. And instead of being devoted to a wife or his job as a soldier, he is becoming attracted to one of his men.

Summary
“I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.
“Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.
She freezes.
It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.
She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

Summary
The window was pushed open, and Iron Man’s head popped into his bedroom. “Here’s where I’m confused—why lock the front door but leave the fire-escape-accessible windows unlocked?” He clambered through said window. “Seems like a safety hazard.”
Peter eyed the metal suit as it straightened to a standing position. “Did you break into my window to kill me?”
The face plate lifted, and Tony’s eyes quickly looked over the teen. “Christ, kid. It looks like you’re halfway there.”
...
A wild night on patrol leaves Peter with a broken back, and boy, does he want to be able to move without dying. (So he calls Anthony Stark, obviously.)

Lies of omission by Bergen
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies)
13 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“Your parents have been grooming you to take over the company, correct? You’ve been working closely alongside them, alongside their best scientists and technicians. I’m sure you’ve learned a fair deal. We could use that expertise at Stark Industries.”
“Essentially,” Parker says, “you want to pay me to reveal my parents’ company secrets.”
“Yes,” Tony says, cheerfully. “Thank you for catching on so quickly.”
—
Tony’s week just turned a lot more promising: Rich kid Peter Parker has apparently dropped out of college and provoked the ire of his parents. A delicious scandal for the tabloids. And an opportunity too good to waste, even if it means putting up with a snooty, preppy college kid as his new intern.- Language:

Summary
“That was a disaster. The press is having a field day.”
“It wasn’t my fault,” Tony defends. “That Spider-Guy never knows when to shut up. He distracted me.”
“Your reputation took a blow,” Pepper tells him. “Which will be fixed, of course. I’ve already set it up.”
“Set what up? What, am I going to make flower arrangements with the elderly?”
Pepper slides a piece of paper towards him. “Try an orphan. His name is Peter Parker. His biggest dream is to meet you. But…” She hesitates.
“But?”
“Apparently he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes not at all. Trauma-related.”
“A smart kid who doesn’t talk? Perfect combination. If only all my employees were like that.”

Summary
Every evening when May stumbles in after a twelve-hour shift, she looks more tired than the day before, and their overdue bills are piling up. When Peter became Spider-Man, he had promised himself to be responsible. No stupid teenager stuff. He was going to be mature, damn it. And rule number two, after ‘being mature’ was ‘make things easier for aunt May’.
And then Mr. Stark gives him a gift that just makes everything more complicated.Bookmarked by Criodeus
