    Summary

    The last thing he remembers is leaving school. It was a half day, as he’d finished his exams early, texted May about staying over at Ned’s place, sent another text to MJ and then a twitch of his spider senses--

    Then a pinch at his neck, like a bee sting, but deeper. Darkness. Then here.

    Huh. Kidnapped. That’s new. If he was less emotionally dead from finals and sleep deprivation, he’d probably have a stronger and much more appropriate reaction to that.

    At least he's got Captain America and the Winter Soldier to keep him company.

    Summary

    It’s on one such sunny afternoon that Sanji finds himself sitting at the base of a large tree, enjoying the warm temperatures while simultaneously shaded by its leafy branches. It’s peaceful out here, so much so that he can almost pretend he’s not a patient in a hospital who has no real plan for what he’s going to do next.

    He flinches as that thought occurs to him, his shoulders already hunching protectively up around his ears. At the same time, completely without his permission, his hands start to bury themselves in his hair, tugging at the strands until they hurt.

    “Stop it,” he tells himself sternly, rocking slightly back and forth. “Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. You’re fine. Everything’s going to be fine. There’s nothing to worry about here. Germa’s done, the rock’s done, and you made it through both. You’ll - ”

    “What’cha doin’?”

    Summary

    “Alright, Mosshead. Welcome to the Germa Kingdom, a nation without land. Germa is ruled by the Vinsmoke family. Once the rulers of the North Blue, they are now a power hungry group of mercenaries who dream of reconquering their old territory. They are also by technical definition my family, although I had cut all ties with them. Apparently I didn’t cut them well enough, since they have now arranged a marriage for me.”

    “Mmm, what’s this gotta do with me?”

    “You're their hostage Mosshead.” Cook took a frustrated drag from his cigarette. “Reiju, my sister, poisoned you, says if you don’t receive treatment every few hours you’ll die painfully. We get the full antidote after the wedding.

    --------------------------------
    Canon Divergence: Germa have appeared back into Sanji's life to force him into a marriage, to force him into coming along they are holding Zoro as a hostage.

    Summary

    For a magic-user intent on siphoning pain for power, both Hob Gadling and Edwin Payne represent unique opportunities. United in dire circumstances, a man incapable of dying and a boy long dead forge an unusual friendship--and try to survive the experience.

    ---

    “When you died,” Hob said. “How old were you?”
    “Sixteen.”
    “That,” Hob said, “Is awful.”
    Edwin shrugged. “Life is, I’m afraid,” he said.
    “Can be wonderful, too,” Hob said. “I promise.”

    Summary

    “He’s not coming,” Luther says impatiently. “Let's just get this over with.”

    “Who’s not coming?”

    The voice sounds behind them suddenly, and all of them startle and whip around in synchronization.

    “Klaus,” Luther hears himself say distantly. “You’re…here.”

    Four tilts his head, bringing his hand to his lips and inhaling deeply around the cigarette dangling between his fingers. When he exhales, the smoke curls around his head like a halo before drifting into the air.

    “Yeah, well, I would’ve gotten here sooner,” Four says around the cigarette. “But I just really didn’t want to.”

    ***

    Number Four shows up to the funeral three hours late with an iced latte in one hand and a cigarette dangling from the other.

    Or; Klaus fled the Academy the day they turned eighteen. He never looked back.
    Ten years later, their father dies.
    Number Four returns.

    And none of them quite know what to do with this new version of their black sheep brother.

    AKA: Klaus single-handedly stops the apocalypse. It really wasn't that hard, so if everyone could stop looking at him like that, that would be great, thanks.
