    Summary

    Sixteen-year-old Shawn Spencer has been living on the streets for a couple years, scraping by however he can—pickpocketing, running cons, doing sex work when he’s desperate. He’s quick with a lie and quicker with an exit. The police know him as a nuisance, maybe even a liability. But somehow, he keeps being in the right (or wrong) place at the right time—giving info on active cases, identifying suspects, catching details the cops missed.

    Sometimes he’s a witness. Sometimes he’s a suspect. Sometimes he’s the kid who just won’t shut up at a crime scene.

    And the most annoying part?

    He’s always right.

    Summary

    Ash isn’t any kind of Aura Guardian or anything like that, and he doesn’t want to be either. It’s his pokemon who’re the cool ones! He’s just here to make them stronger, and to be their friend, and to find the point where their hearts connect. That’s the important thing, not if he can or can’t glow. Or whatever.

    (A portrait of Ash, Aura, and the various Lucario he’s known.)

    Summary

    After S, Reki mopes, gets an ear piercing, accidentally adopts a small army of children, and wonders why Langa stares at him in class all the time.

    ---

    "But Reki finds that the world agrees with him like this; that maybe he is still a favored son of Okinawa. He might not burn as brightly, not soar as high, but he’s still part of something beautiful. With every push against the pavement, every grind, every gravity defying leap into the air, he redefines and transforms the world around him."

    ---

    Or: Reki Kyan learns to be loved.

    Summary

    When a field trip to Stark Industries ends in disaster, Roger Harrington finds himself faced with an impossible choice. Suddenly, Tony Stark is shoving an NDA in his face while Peter Parker stares at him with terrified, desperate eyes. Nothing in his 13-year teaching career could have prepared Harrington for this, but he knows one thing for sure: ten years ago, he'd stared down into the sightless eyes of a seventeen-year-old girl, and he'd sworn to himself that he would never again lose another student. He's going to do everything in his power to keep that promise now…even if it costs him everything.

    Set during and post Spider-Man Homecoming. A realistic field trip story that also explores the long-term consequences of trauma and responsibility, written by a real-life teacher.
