    Summary

    Jaskier, oblivious to Geralt’s struggle, is quiet as Borch leaves, but it’s not like it matters; his heartbeat alone would have been enough to tip Geralt off. It’s almost deafening this morning, a portent of doom.

    Geralt should send him away. He owes Jaskier this, he thinks; owes it to him to keep him safe – keep him alive – even if he hates Geralt for it. One last wish, carefully worded and utterly false, and he’d be on his way to safety. Geralt would shadow him to make sure no trouble would befall him on the way, unseen, and then leave him to a normal life, to father a child or two, to raise his legacy.

    The very thought makes him want to throw up.


    Geralt makes a different decision after Yennefer leaves him after the dragon hunt. It changes things, though they get worse before they get better.

    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

    Summary

    Tony isn't a healthy man. He's fine with that, really. It makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, he has a job to do that kind of has his health as a major requirement. So he unmakes himself, remakes the Accords, protects every single child super that enters his field of view, and hopes ferociously that the Avengers never come back to the US. He doesn't spend any time at all rebuilding Bucky Barnes' life. Not a single second. Anything he does that contributes to him is simply an accident.

    Bucky is a patient man. It's ok if Tony wants to ignore him for now. He won't be able to forever.

    (Somewhere in the world, a sense of dread crawls up the back of Tony's spine)

    Summary

    "Let me get this straight." Clint grunted, his calloused fingers rubbing through his dirt-streaked hair. "You can't see, and I can't hear."

    Matt nodded simply, his face turned toward Clint even as his eyes stayed unfocused. "Yep."

    "And we're really gonna to try this?"

    "Yep."

    Clint let out a laugh, one that echoed over the heads of the horde that was gathering below the roof that they were perched on top of. "We're gonna die."

    The grin on Matt's face was borderline maniacal. "This is going to be fun."
    ____________________________________________

    In which it's the zombie apocalypse and by all logic, neither Clint Barton nor Matt Murdock should have survived this long: and that is not just because of their natural disadvantages. It would really help if the two of them would stop doing stupid things, like jumping off of buildings and taking on zombies bare-handed. Maybe once they meet up, it will cause them to learn a little bit of self preservation?

    Nope. It's only going to make things worse.

    Summary

    Natasha looked more closely. She first saw hints of a second person in the sock poking out of the blanket at a strange angle, and the pale hand with curled-up fingers resting on Tony’s chest. Then she found a head of what looked like brown curls, tucked snugly under Tony’s arm. And eventually, a second set of sleeping breaths, slow and light. 

    OR

    The Avengers return from months of missions to find a child fast asleep on the lounge, with Tony snoring beside him. A mystery ensues.
    Is Tony Stark a father? (It looks like it!) How have they never discovered the kid until now? I mean, Iron Man has always been good at keeping secrets, but a whole CHILD?
