    Summary

    “Useless, waste of space, weak! That’s it,” he cried, standing straight in front of Stan, looking like he was a hundred feet tall as he towered over his family. “Tomorrow, you’re both starting boxing. If you little punks can’t keep out of trouble, you’re going to learn to fight and win. I don’t want to hear about you two losing again.”

    ~~~~~~

    Or, Stanley Pines breaks the cycle.

    Summary

    Curse him. Curse his name and this supposed gift he’d given of life. Even Javert’s final thought, submerged willfully in the cold waters of the Seine, was littered with the remnants of Jean Valjean. Let him be free. Let the water wash away the curse inflicted on his soul. Let him die now, too tormented to wait in agony for a natural death, even if it meant the remainder of his soul would go to Lucifer’s domain. Let his eternal life be one of misery, as he deserved. Perhaps Valjean would meet him there, but Javert did not think it so.

    Rescued from the Seine by a determinably anonymous benefactor, Inspector Javert struggles to cope with the consequences of being left alive.

    Summary

    “How is this different from when we’re playing?” Troy's voice was about to break.
    “Because I know it when you’re acting. You get so much into it that I see the character standing before me. And right now, I see you.”

    ***

    Growing up, connection between body and mind never really made sense to Troy. But that was before adulthood, and the agency that comes with it.

    Summary

    Once Riz gets past the initial shock and terror at things changing, there’s a part of him that’s just want. That selfish, greedy part of him that he’s had to learn how to quiet, to stop focusing on the things he’s scared he’ll lose or that he’ll never have when he’s so spoiled with the things he does have now, it hears all the quiet promises in Fabian’s words and wants to clutch it all tight, no takebacksies. He wants to be wanted. He wants to bask in however Fabian wants to express his love the same way that he’s always loved it when Fabian expresses his love. He wants to not be scared of the thought of it. He wants to want it. He might want it? He wants to know if he does want it.

    (Or, discovering your best friend of over a decade is in love with you might bring some confusion, some complications, and plenty of recontextualizing, but it might also bring so much happiness.)

    Summary

    Only a week or so after that incident, Adaine asked him if she could borrow some notes of his on something he’d researched before. If they were anywhere, they’d be in his briefcase, but when he reached in to grab them, his hand remained inexplicably empty. He tried again, calling the notes to him. He felt a definite tug, confirming that the folder in question was, in fact, in his briefcase, but before they could be summoned to him, something else tugged back. Hard.
    Adaine was looking at him expectantly.
    “Just having some trouble with my briefcase. Not entirely sure what it could be,” Riz lied. He had a very strong suspicion as to what, or who, might be causing this, but he didn’t particularly feel like bringing up Baron and reigniting that conversation. “I’ll have to go in and take a look. Be back in a second.”

    ***

    There is an evil goblin mannequin living in The Ball's briefcase, and Riz can only ignore them for so long.

    Summary

    Fabian and Riz hold hands when they watch movies. They visit rivers to throw rocks, just the two of them. They want to go to the same college and share a dorm and graduate at the same time and live together and save the world a few more times before retiring together and maybe raising a kid or two.

    They're thinking about getting married. They're not dating. But Fabian wants to ask Mazey out on one.

    Summary

    SHIELD never find Captain America.

    But one spring, the Valkyrie melts anyway, and Steve Rogers wakes up in the ice, alone.

    ———————————

    He tried to move – and it burned. There was fire wrapping around his body, dragging cold tongues of pain across every inch of him. There was nothing but the screeching pain and the blackness and the silence -

    He breathed, and choked, because his lungs were full of ice.

    Water trickled delicately from his nose, dribbled over shrivelled lips. He jerked reflexively, throat cracking free from frost. He tried to gulp, tried to swallow, tried to snatch at air.

    Oh, and how he was married to Bucky Barnes. That too.

    Summary

    ”Cosette’s flight was cancelled because of the storm,” Valjean said. “She’s going back to school soon, so she needs to pack, and the trains are booked, and they can’t rent a car, and they don’t have money for a hotel, and I need her safe and home. So I’m going to get her.”

    ”You’re going to drive six hours in a blizzard on your own to then drive six hours back in a blizzard?” Javert said. “Not a chance.”

    “My daughter needs me,” Valjean said, scraping at the ice crusted on the windshield. “I’m going.”

    “I know that. I mean that I’m coming with you.”

    Summary

    And then, like he was picking out a can of soup for that night’s dinner, Swansea plainly asked, “y’wanna die, Capitano? I can make it quick.”

    The axe did not come down. It didn’t cleave for any of Curly’s vitals, didn’t swing for the space between his eyes. Instead, it idly tapped the floor, in repetitive, rhythmic knocks.
    Thump. Thump. Thump.
    …what?

    ——

    Swansea takes responsibility. It’s a long twenty years for them both.

    Summary

    In her whiplash, she only manages a, “Captain…what are you saying?”

    Curly smiles – apologetically again and just as hollow, slowly massaging the meat of his forearm with his other hand. In a dazed focus, Anya watches the pull of fabric, the ease with which the wrinkles fold and deepen, the suit too loose on him.

    “I’m managing! I’m managing, really, it’s okay, it’s all okay,” Curly hurries to say, so reassuring as if the backs of Anya’s eyelids aren’t still stamped with the glimpse of what he’s shown her. “You– don’t need to worry. It’s just– it’s a bit difficult, Anya.”

    ———

    [Curly comes to Anya with a perfectly reasonable request. No idea why she has to react the way she does :/ it’s not a big deal or anything]

    Summary

    Anya wakes in perfect pitch-black to the hum of the engine, nestled deep in the bowels of the Tulpar—a sort of incandescent thrumming that she can feel vibrating even through the thin mattress and bedframe. It is the constant heartbeat of a giant—like listening to check if a patient is still alive.

    It said: you are still rocketing at a million miles an hour to some distant planetoid. You are still millions of miles from everything you have ever known or loved.

    You are still trapped on this tin can with your rapist.

    And then, she vomits.

    The events of Mouthwashing but if Anya survived to the end. Now with a sequel/fix-it fic in future rust, future dust.
