Summary
“Are you the mechanic?”
He wiped his palm on his pant leg and held out his hand. “Dmitry. What’s the problem?”
“Anya,” she answered and shook his hand once.
“What’s the problem?” he repeated.
“The car broke down.”
“Clearly,” he smiled with closed lips and dimples popped out of his cheeks. “What’s the problem with it?” he said again.
“I don’t know, that’s your job to figure out.”
His eyebrows rose and he scoffed. She wasn’t sure why she was irritated— perhaps it was the heat or the fact that she had to hang out in a sketchy place by herself with a rude stranger. Or that he kept adjusting his suspenders.

Great Depression Era au where a simple car repair job becomes a lot more than either of them expected.

Noir held his hands up, “guys I don’t know what you heard, but whatever it is... One started it!”
“Hamilton reference, nice,” hummed One, before turning his glare upon Noir. “And, don’t bring me into your shit! I’ve not done anything wrong in ages!”
“Except book another tattoo appointment,” Miles offered, eyeing Peter’s covered arms.
“I want some tattoos, I’m allowed to have tattoos – don’t bring me into this guys, I’m an innocent angel, who is surrounded by insane variants of myself and two good kids...” One said, arms crossed and shrugging. “So, stop bumping gums and get to the point.”
Noir took a step back, but Three stopped him and pushed him back. Noir winced and began opening and closing his mouth, struggling to find words, trying to think what he did wrong.
“Noir... you dyed B’s Spider-Man suit pink,” Two said, disappointed.Or;

Summary
“Listen, I have a plan.” Shanks fumbles inside his jacket for an envelope. The paper is creased, tattered around the edges and stained with something that smells suspiciously like rum when he hands it over.
“What's this, a donation from your parish?” Mihawk snarks, withdrawing a note with official letterhead and the half sheet of paper enclosed.
Shanks laughs. “It's a license to sell sacramental wine,” he happily clarifies, tossing an arm around Mihawk’s shoulders. “Prohibition be damned, eh?”
“If you’ll excuse my lack of enthusiasm, I don’t quite follow.” Mihawk refolds the papers, offers them back to Shanks. “I don't make sacramental wine.”
“Then call this a miracle,” Shanks grins, “because you’re about to start selling it.”

Summary
His Brother was the Prince of Dragonstone, his brother was supposed to be the King. Jon's life was supposed to be simpler. Marry an appropriate woman, have children he could name Prince and Princess, and live a quiet life with them in between carrying out royal duties for his father and brother.
Aegon became King, as is his duty. Jon supports him, as is his.
Only tragedy was supposed to upset this balance.
This is not a tragedy, but to Jon and the life he wanted, it certainly feels like it.
Basically a Westeros AU of the real life abdication of the British King Edward VII in favor of his brother George VI in 1936.

Summary
"If you had asked Osha at fourteen where she thought she would be in a decade, working in a mechanic’s shop in a small town in the middle of nowhere would not have been the answer. Back then she had been at the top of her class at the prestigious catholic school that took her in when the rest of her family died in a fire. The nuns there had big plans for her. Quite a few of them believed she would take up the veil herself. Others thought she’d become a teacher after she graduated, eventually meet a nice and rich young man and leave them to be a housewife. Certainly, none of them expected her to drop out before completing her senior year. Honestly, Osha was probably the most surprised of all, but that was exactly what happened."
Inspired by the most famous corrupt lovers, Bonnie and Clyde. An AU set in the American Great Depression with crime and romance and maybe some other stuff. I don't really have a plan here.
