    Summary

    Object Class: Thaumiel
    Description: Discovered by SAS Captain [DATA REDACTED], entity 141-07 is a void mass of unknown origin and purpose. The entity is classed 'Thaumiel' due to its ability to destroy, eat, or absorb dangerous objects and entities unable to be otherwise contained with existing Foundation resources.

    Summary

    More often than not, Bucky thinks the worst part about his missing Winter Soldier years is the mystery of the memories and not knowing when (or what) things are going to come back to him.

    Murder, he expects. A memory of Baron Zemo whispering filthy nothings into his ear takes him completely by surprise. Now, on top of trying to deal with hunting down the Flag Smashers, keeping Sam from trying to kill Zemo until the baron is useful', and that upstart Walker pretending to be Captain America, Bucky has to deal with strange flashes of a past with Zemo that he never would have thought possible.

    Summary

    Johnny never expected a delivery route to change his life, but one rainy doorstep leads him to Simon, a quiet mechanic with a guarded past, and Eli, his kid who barely speaks but watches Johnny like he’s stepped straight out of his favorite cartoon.

    Johnny learns he looks a lot like Captain Blaze, Eli’s superhero obsession, and somehow, that’s enough to earn him a place at their table. Simon’s trying to hold everything together. Johnny’s not sure where he belongs. But maybe, just maybe, they’re exactly what each other needs.

    Summary

    Ghost has been working at an animal shelter that rescued problem dogs for a while now. For the most part, it's a pretty great way to spend his retirement, especially with Riley by his side. Of course, there's always things that make life suck arse.

    Like the guy with all the scars casing the shelter from across the street. Ghost hasn't taken a life in a long time, but if the bastard was the kind of piece of shit he suspected he was, he'd do what he had to. And if he was wrong... Well, he'd deal with that if it came to it.

    “Well. You make a better case for him than he does for himself.”
    “It was his turn to try and y’know, self-advocate and all that fun therapy shite. Unfortunately, he can run grinning into a fucking fire fight but a bichon-frese might as well be the Devil.”

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    “Did you ever decide what the Jane on your wrist meant?”
    “No,” said Mr. Bennet. “Nor do I think I ever shall have a definitive answer.”
    “I hate living in ambiguity.”
    “I fear, Lizzy, that that is the human condition.”
