Summary
He doesn’t like to think about her anymore. His heart’s still raw whenever reminders of her appear, and the nightmares come whenever someone mentions her name. So he avoids her at all costs, shuts down the part of his brain that’s stuck on grief. He knows it’s disrespectful of her memory, but if he spends too long thinking, too long acknowledging, too long missing her again, he’ll break.
So instead, Clint dives headfirst into a relationship that isn’t a relationship. You know, like a healthy person.

Summary
“Hey there, Cap,” Someone says above him, and the voice is familiar but not enough to place at the moment. Bucky traces the sound to see a man in a black and gold suit sitting off one of the stairwells in the alley.
“You’re not a bad guy, are you?” Bucky asks, because he really doesn’t have the energy for another fight right now.
He hears a snort, “No, I’m on your side.”

Summary
“Bullshit. Steve never mentioned any pretty boy.”
“You think I’m pretty?” His tone is light, and his eyes have just a hint of laughter in them. “Well, Barton, I did hear you were a charmer.”
It puts Clint instantly on edge. “You know who I am?”
OR: Another retelling of CA:#37, Bucky and Clint's first meeting in the comics.

Summary
The agent introduces himself as Phil Coulson, or rather he gives Jim a card with his name and number written in a boring font under SHIELD’s logo. He turns away, clearly considers their interaction to be finished; when Jim taps him on the shoulder, he turns back with a look of such polite disinterest that Jim has to draw on every iota of self-restraint gleaned throughout his career not to smack him in his smug, jurisdiction-stealing face.

Summary
Jamie gets his soulmark when he's four years old. All he remembers from that day is his mum kissing his cheeks and smiling at him and then buying him ice cream to celebrate. Jamie thinks it's the best day ever. He doesn't know what the mark on his wrist means, but he guesses it must be a good thing.
It doesn't take him too long to change his mind about that.

Summary
Chat Noir was no stranger to a difficult home life—Ladybug knew that more than anyone. When he jokingly suggests that life would be easier for the both of them if they were roommates, the two of them freeze like ice in the midnight air, breath caught between them as the notion hits them full force. It drifts through their thoughts in silence until they decide that perhaps, in a world where impossible things are plausible, the idea wouldn't be such a bad one.
So, with a skip in their steps and an entirely new kind of excitement brewing in their chests, the two find themselves considering something neither of them had ever before: moving in together. The tricky part is still keeping their identities a secret.
