Summary
Things are changing.
Supposedly unfeeling androids have begun to express emotion. A caretaker says she loves a child. Construction workers complain about exhaustion after a long shift. The general public has turned a blind eye to these small, human expressions. But when androids suddenly start disappearing, people take notice.
CyberLife takes action, ready to dismantle a revolution before it starts. The company's previous attempts failed, but the newest RK model exceeds their highest expectations. It's driven. Focused.
A machine.

Summary
SHIELD finally captured the pseudo-terrorist Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, after several years of searching. But the man is near death, and SHIELD can't find a cure for him. Fellow fugitive Bruce Banner has that cure; however, he was forced to hide from SHIELD in Wakanda. With Tony's time running out, Bruce unable to help, and the world wondering where Iron Man went, the last thing SHIELD needs is another problem.
Such as, maybe, a leak from within their walls telling the rest of the world that the long-dead Stark is alive in America.
Or Loki.

Summary
It's supposed to be quick and quiet: go in, meet the mysterious family friend who somehow has connections to a tribe of druids, let this friend take Stiles to those druids, and leave the kingdom that would happily slaughter him for having magic in the dust, never to return. Only, that's not quite how it happens. A Merlin AU.

Summary
What if Tony ran away, rather than return to his Malibu home? What if he became Iron Man from the corner of a mechanic's workshop in India? What if he and Bruce met up before Helicarriers existed?
What if Steve Rogers recognized the face of a dead man? What if Fury told him Iron Man is a terrorist? What if he and three very special agents looked for the armor but found the Hulk?
Also, Pepper the cat.

Summary
Mollymauk got hurt whilst at work. Badly. Caleb had seen the entire incident, and had been the first to hold his partners hand once he had hit the ground.
That hasn't been the wost part. The worst part had been the silence that came after. The lack of jokes towards him or Essek. No quips, jibes or flirting.
Just tubes and machines.
And silence. -
