    Summary

    Yelena and Bob are actors who become friends—and later, something more—while working on a project together. But things go wrong along the way, and when they meet again, it’s like they’re complete strangers. Worse, it's like they know each other in the most intimate ways, yet they act like they don’t.

    Summary

    They stalked through dimply-lit streets, slowly pulling through the exhaustion. He thought the area was familiar two blocks back, now, as he looks to the diner’s red sign at his right and the street name a bit further ahead, he knows why. It’s not that he frequented these spots, more so that he found out whose apartment is here a few months back and couldn’t stop knowing it.

    Feeling like they were out of options, with no way to contact Ava at the watchtower, Bucky stopped walking and sighed. “I know a place,” he said hesitantly

    *Bucky finally collects the courage to see someone who knew his winter soldier days, someone important.

    Summary

    Three and a half months into the formation of the New Avengers, scandal strikes. The execution footage resurfaces, dragging John’s past back into the spotlight. Whispers about The Void—and its connection to Bob—are gaining traction. The public is afraid. Reputations are crumbling.
    So Valentina makes a call: spin a narrative. A surprise wedding. A love story between two misunderstood heroes who found each other in their darkest hour.
    The only problem?
    They both hate the idea.
    The bigger problem?
    The marriage is already legal.
    Their teammates know it’s fake. Of course they do. But with the media in a frenzy, management demands full buy-in: shared dormitory, matching rings, joint interviews, public hand-holding.
    Jokes get whispered in the elevator. Alexei starts winking too much.
    John’s ex won’t return his calls, but somehow, she’s seen every staged photo of him holding Bob’s hand.
    Through the forced smiles, the late-night silences, the uncomfortable proximity, and the leaking wounds neither of them want to show—the lines between fiction and something far more dangerous start to blur.
    It’s not love. Not yet.
    But it’s a ghost of something.
    And it’s theirs.

    Summary

    With that, he’s now alone.

    A dull buzz begins to build behind his glazed eyes.

    Slowly he starts to walk.

    The warm presence flows throughout him, whispering in low tones, encouraging each step that he takes.

    Come to me, John.

    Come to me.

    Summary

    when kamala khan realizes there’s no one looking out for the next generation of heroes, she takes matters into her own hands and assembles a new team: the young avengers, made up of powerful, wildly unqualified teenagers just trying their best.

    their rising success throws them straight into the crossfire of thunderbolts politics, new avengers bureaucracy, and valentina allegra de fontaine’s truly unhinged idea of “mentorship” and "branding".

    the young avengers can only watch and sigh as they manage to deal with threats more effectively than two entire teams of properly-funded, fully adult avengers. maybe the world really, really needs the young avengers. like, desperately. please, the avengers(squared) are going to kill eachother before doing literally anything of help.

    OR kamala is getting together her own super-hero team: the young avengers. it goes surprisingly well. art first.

    Summary

    Set immediately after the Thunderbolts* press conference.
    Kate Bishop is fine. Totally fine. Even if she returns to NYC to discover three very inconvenient things:

    She somehow missed a city-saving event,
    The Avengers have reformed—without her,
    and
    Yelena Belova seems to be leading them.

    She’s fine.
    …Until a stolen hard drive drags her into an international mission with Yelena as her partner.

    Now it’s Paris rooftops, Yelena's ex's, Budapest car chases, Yelena in a suit, Russian winters, and Yelena's nickname for her. She is definitely not letting Yelena Belova take up permanent residence in her brain.

    She’s fine.
    …Until she’s not.

    Summary

    Illegal human experimentation, a vault prepared for the demolition of criminal evidence, and Hayden ‘Hayley’ the aimless daughter of Valentina de Fontaine.

    ━━━━━⋆ ‧₊˚ ⚡︎ ˚₊‧ ⋆━━━━━

    “He was supposed to be dead. You dumped him with the rest of the evidence.”

    “I-uh…” Hayley faltered, feeling overwhelmed under the sudden scrutiny of both women. “I secured him in a containment module and sent him off to the vault. Doctor Houston said he was a failure.”

    Summary

    Four months after the mission that nearly exposed all their secrets, the New Avengers mark the first anniversary of their formation. At last, stability seems within reach — the public is beginning to accept them, their missions are successful, and Sam Wilson’s team is no longer pursuing them. Yet just as peace takes hold, a new threat emerges, one that could shatter their fragile balance and reopen old wounds once more.

    Summary

    Breaking: The City That Sometimes Sleeps? New York Wakes to New Avengers – Is This The Future Of Superheroes?

    Bucky Barnes is used to not having a choice.

    Rather, he’s learnt not to bother – history has proven that the universe doesn’t really care what he wants (a full congressional term; a break from the fighting; some peace and fucking quiet). So, when his political career gets cut abruptly short against his will, Bucky thinks this might as well happen and bends the knee. Perhaps it’s self preservation; If he doesn’t go after what he really wants, the universe won’t get the chance to ruin it for him.

    Maybe that’s why he hasn’t called Sam Wilson.

    Or; The New Avengers learn what it’s like to not be alone. Bucky Barnes learns what it’s like to have five people up in your business.

    Summary

    Mel was supposed to work under Valentina for the next few years and learn the ropes. She hoped to leverage her relationship with the director of the CIA to be able to work with the World Security Council. That was supposed to be the plan. It had been the plan since she graduated.

    ”You wanted to make the world a better place” Valentina recalled their previous conversation, “Then make sure our new 'heroes' have everything they need and are up to snuff for their new assignments.”

    Mel sighed and braced herself, needing to hear it directly from her boss.

    “Valentina, you’re - not seriously putting me in charge of the Avengers?”

    ____________________________________

    When Mel got promoted to Official Liaison to the Avengers, she anticipated handling the press, briefing the team for missions, and overall providing the World's New Mightiest Heroes with whatever they needed.

    Keeping a lonely, de-powered Robert 'Bob' Reynolds company at the Watchtower, however, was definitely not part of the job description.

    Summary

    “Look, I’m… I’m not really in the business of exploding little innocent laboratory experiment guinea pigs,” she said, patting Bob on the shoulder. The rodent in her hand squeaked indignantly. “So why don’t you leave here with me, and maybe we find you some clothes, and, like, a clif bar or something, because you still look sort of woozy. And then you can think about killing yourself in a way where I’m not the one pressing a button. Okay?”

    She smiled at him in an attempt at comfort, straightening her posture to give herself some authority, or at least an air of confidence. He looked at her, and then the bomb, and then the guinea pig, and then behind him to the shadows on the wall. And then back to her.

    “Okay,” he echoed, and she was pretty sure he had a bit less doom-and-gloom nothing-matters dejection in his expression now, so maybe she said something kind of right. Maybe.

    “Great. How do you feel about wearing dead people shoes? The options here are slim.”

    ---

    Or, Yelena gets sent to destroy O.X.E. Group evidence in a lab in Malaysia and finds... Bob. Bob, who was for sure a human experiment. Bob, who was definitely supposed to be dead. Bob, who absolutely knows more than he's letting on.

    Summary

    “Take Ava and Yelena, or don’t, you can leave them here to die for all I care. But that man-boy, needs to be in Washington,” Valentina instructed.

    John felt uneasy. This wasn’t like the old days where one could traverse the country with ease. This was something that was going to take months and would likely throw his life on the line. He gripped the keys tightly, feeling the metal dig into his palm as he took a step towards her, “Oh yeah, and what’s so special about him?”

    There was wonder in her eyes, ”Everything,”

    Summary

    Flannel half-buttoned, hair sticking up like he’d just rolled out of bed, stood a kid. His face was flushed, his hands trembling from the sprint.

    “Uh. Hi.” His voice cracked, mortifyingly, echoing off the Vault walls. “Name’s Wrett Robinson. Val sent me. Said I was supposed to capture you.”

    Or: Valentina's reached a new low, and hired a child to work for O.X.E. When she sends her youngest (and most inexperienced) operative, a speedster name Wrett Robinson, into the Vault, what happens?

    Summary

    Six months in and the New Avengers had fallen into a routine with only a few bumps in the road. And being in charge of them isn't too hard. All things considered, Bucky thought being a leader wasn't so bad. The worst part was dealing with Valentina and keeping them from biting each other's heads off and trying to shrug off that exhaustion that just won't go away. But everything was fine, really. Nothing worth mentioning.
