Summary
Shaking hands unfolded the letter, her eyes falling upon the lovingly written words. Words, so filled with hope for a dream that had been abruptly, violently cut off before it could have had a chance to become reality.
Wanda pressed her lips tightly together as the nothingness slowly made place for an overwhelming wave of grief. It had no place to go, so it brewed inside of her, making her gasp for breath, pushing her to her knees, putting its claws into her mind, taking hold and-
A near silent sound broke through her suffering and the chaos inside of her dimmed down and snuffed out.

What if... The Hex never ended up being created?
Takes place Post-Endgame, at the start of the chronological story of WandaVision.

Summary
Zuko scoffed. “As always, I am the author of my own unhappiness.”
Sokka hummed. “Years ago, when it was just us travelling together, we came across this fortune teller. I didn’t believe any of that mumbo-jumbo. But then she said that my life would be full of struggle and anguish, most of it self-inflicted.”
It suited Zuko’s life extraordinarily well, he felt. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m the only person in the Fire Nation who has a vision of what it takes for this country to get better.”
Sokka turned to face him, but Zuko looked resolutely forwards. “That can’t be true.”
Zuko turns twenty-five. In spite of his best efforts, the Fire Nation seems to lurch from crisis to crisis. The firebenders have lost their flame, and the situation with the former colonies is only worsening. All the while, he's ill, lonely, and consumed by work.
And on the other side of the country, Sokka has just moved in with one Master Piandao.

Summary
Elena had been having a perfectly nice day, in fact, ever since she helped Klaus get rid of his mother, she’d been having a series of good days. Then he had to mess it up by giving her stuff.
Stuff that she kept.
It totally didn’t make her a sugar baby, no matter what Caroline said.
(She trampled the part of her that didn’t mind even if it did.)

Summary
The first time Ben Parker meets Tony Stark, he punches him square in the face.
Tony bites back a curse and ignores the way his eyes water as he looks back up at the man. Ben’s not angry, which is part of the reason the punch took him by surprise. They’re lucky the door is closed, or Happy would have tackled him to the ground.
“Did that make you feel better?” Tony asks, the sarcasm in his tone biting, but Ben takes it as a serious question.
“No.” If Tony didn’t know any better, he’d say the man almost cracks a smile. It’s hard to tell, and Tony’s never met a man he can’t read, but Ben doesn’t look angry (seriously, why doesn’t he look angry?), even though that punch felt angry. “...Maybe a little.”
***
Or, May dies instead of Ben. We’ve seen Ben’s legacy – but what about May’s?
Losing a mother is something different from losing a father, but either way, it hurts.
(Endgame spoilers but it sure as hell ain’t compliant.)

Summary
Unemployment was not the best thing to ever happen to Connor, but it was high on the list. The best thing to ever happen to Connor was the sight of a Corgi wearing a small cowboy hat leashed to a post in front of the liquor shop. The second best thing to ever happen to him was the emancipation of his people from slavery and the opening of negotiations for equal rights. But unemployment may come in at a solid third.

It would be an easy lie to say that he had gone after her out of the goodness or his heart or because it was the right thing to do. He couldn't do that though, not when she was looking at him like he was a hero from one of the songs. He did this for himself, not for her.

Summary
Jayce tugged at his cuffs for the third time since they arrived, the sharp lines of his tailored suit doing little to mask his discomfort. “Is it just me,” he muttered, “or does everyone here look like they’re ready to eat me alive?”
Mel leaned toward him, her voice low and teasing. “Relax. They’re just sizing you up. You’re the golden boy of Piltover—you’ve already won them over.”
He huffed a laugh, “They love what I build, not who I am.”

Summary
Angie's Ma really did think that her problem was that she just hadn't met the right guy yet.
Angie had been close with Captain America himself; she'd been friends with Bucky Barnes, and the rest of the Howling Commandos; there was Jarvis, and even Howard on his better days.
A lack of first-rate male specimens wasn't Angie's problem. Girls like Peggy Carter were her problem.
