Summary
Sometimes being a superhero isn’t really about the big epic battles to save the world; sometimes it’s about the quieter moments before, after, and in between. Eddie is a former sidekick taking on a bigger mantle after his uncle’s retirement. Steve is the genetic offspring of the world’s greatest hero and said hero’s greatest enemy, trying to live up to a legacy he only partially understands. Over the course of several years, they move in and out of each other’s lives, for better or worse, until they eventually reach the path to their happy ending.
Or:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Batman must be in want of a Superman.(Steddie Big Bang 24 Project 075)

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
27 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
“For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”
“In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.
Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."

Summary
The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.
Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.
Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.

I'll explain everything to the geese by napricot
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
25 Oct 2020
Tags
Summary
Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.
It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

Summary
That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. Now they’re getting lunch or coffee every few days. Sam falls asleep on Bucky’s couch three more times. Bucky joins him and Steve a couple of times on their morning run.
He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam slept on his couch that night he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit, that as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

Summary
Bodhi Rook is a hero now and he hates it. Awe is exhausting and fame is worse. Every single person in his life is burdened by some strange belief that Bodhi is, in one way or another, extraordinary.
Well, except K-2SO. And thank the Force for that. Still, it’s lonely, having exactly one friendship untinged by awe.
Which is why when Luke—a cheerful X-Wing pilot and the only person on Hoth who doesn’t immediately recognize Bodhi—starts coming around the shuttle bay, Bodhi does his best to keep his identity a secret. It’s great, because Luke is fun and easy to be around. It’s terrible, because sooner or later Luke is going to figure out what Bodhi was hiding.
Bodhi doesn’t stop to think that it might not be his secret that ruins things.
Note: This story is all you need to understand Bodhi and Luke’s relationship. If you are willing to take it on faith that Bodhi and K-2SO have been through some stuff together and came out best friends, jump right in! If you want some more context, a summary of the series is linked in the Author Notes.

Summary
Melisandre, her father’s priestess, had once tried to teach her that she should be afraid of the darkness. That it was something that ought to be fought and kept away at all costs. It was the Great Other, she’d whisper, but never quite explained what this Great Other then was. Therefore, all those hushed conversations and veiled threats did very little to impress Shireen.
The Red Priestess, however, had not failed to instill fear into her. Not of the dark, or of this nameless, voiceless God, but of a simple wooden pole placed on a small stage. -
