    Summary

    A story of hurt and loss and love and healing, starting with the events of season nine episode eleven:

    He doesn’t ask himself if he thinks Steve contacted Catherine or the other way around because he doesn’t want to know. Not when Steve doesn’t look entirely happy to see him, not when their hug feels stiff and stilted. And not when Cath so obviously gets what Steve is doing in a way that Danny just can’t. Steve’s crossed lines before, but something about this feels very different.... And it’s hurting Danny’s already sore heart.

    Summary

    In another universe, Loki was never sent by Thanos to retrieve the Tesseract from Earth, and remained in the grip of the Mad Titan for years, until 2014, when he was sent along with Gamora and Nebula to aid Ronan.

    This series tells how Loki bonded with his sisters, and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. The team journeys on through the stars, getting into hijinks and space shenanigans and become family.

    All the while a Purple Grape lurks in the shadows…

    Summary

    “Alright,” Nancy says, and then, unthinkingly, she adds, “It’s a date, then.”

    The other line goes abruptly silent.

    Nancy frowns. “Steve? Are you okay?”

    She hears him clear his throat. “Yeah, I’m here. I’m great. I’m — I’ll see you and Jonathan Friday?”

    And later, much later, Nancy will look back and realize that this is the moment where she should’ve put it together. But she doesn’t. Instead, she says, “Great. We’ll pick you up at six. Sound good?”

    “Yeah,” Steve says, his voice quiet and careful. “That sounds great, actually.”

    Summary

    What if Hannibal never consulted for the FBI and they met on their way to a forensic psychology conference instead?

    _____

    “Are you headed to LA for business or pleasure,” he asked.

    Will was relieved to see that the rude man’s shoulders were pointed toward the aisle seat. After perhaps a second too long, the man on the aisle said “neither” in a neutral, clipped way. And Will detected an accent somewhere in the word – the r was much softer than an American might say it. “I am not going to LA at all, merely transferring planes.”

    “Are you headed to Hawaii for that CSI conference then?”

    “CSI…” the man replied, confused but with no real curiosity behind the prompt.

    “Well the stewardess said something about a forensics conference.”

    “Ah yes,” came the velvety voice, “forensic psychology. Yes, I am attending that conference.”

    “So what is that then, forensic psychology?”

    “It’s the study of humans – why they do what they do.” The man paused for a moment, then added, somewhat pointedly: “Specifically, why they kill.”
