Summary
“You don’t even know what I did,” she whimpers, and Joel asks:
“Do you- wanna tell me?”
He’s not sure he’s ready to hear it; he’s not sure he’ll ever be ready to hear, he thinks, but his needs dim mightily in comparison to the needs of his girl. Always has, always will. That’s the way this thing works, after all, isn’t it?
*
Joel Miller, his daughters, and the small miracle of running water.

Summary
If she’s being honest with herself, the real problem is that every time she looks at those pink stripes, she’s back to that night in December, Joel’s sharp words ringing in her ears, sure as hell ain’t your dad, come dawn we’re going our separate ways, sitting on that window seat with her knees hugged to her chest for hours afterwards, staring at the wallpaper and waiting and waiting and waiting for him to come back and tell her that he changed his mind, that he’s not leaving her.
She knows how the story ends, she knows that even though he never apologized, he did wait for her, he didn’t leave her, but those stupid pink walls keep reminding her that everyone leaves her eventually.
—
When emergency home repairs kick Ellie and Joel out of their house in Jackson, they temporarily move in with Tommy and Maria. One could say it's a full house. (Featuring Miller Family Bonding and Ellie's abandonment issues and a nonzero amount of Lord of the Rings references.)

Summary
The memories of those visits tend to blend together in Joel’s mind, a soft-focus blur of tastes and sounds and particularly memorable jokes, usually told by Frank. Joel remembers the year that Tess had gotten her hands on some Elton John sheet music and Frank had point-blank asked if she thought all gay men liked Elton John, pretending to be legitimately offended. Tess had apologized profusely, something she rarely did, until Frank had cracked and, face splitting open wide, had admitted that he actually is pretty fond of Honky Chateau.

Summary
Set in season 2 after Oswald is released from Arkham. In all his sweet, helpless niceness.
After being turned away by Butch and Ed Oswald doesn't find his father, instead he stays in Gotham on the streets until Butch takes pity on him. Unfortunately he accidentally takes the fall for a murder and is sent to Blackgate. Hugo Strange is curious how this new docile Oswald will make it through a prison with a different type of bad guy than Arkham, so he may have had a hand in getting the man sentenced rather quickly.
Oswald is not prepared for a place like Blackgate, not the way that he is now. Luckily for him, Jim Gordon also happens to be there, and the man is sure to protect him. At least he hopes so.
Jim is just trying to keep himself alive and get out of prison as fast as he can. To clear his name. Oswald Cobblepot is a complication that he doesn't need, but the man is so helpless he can't bring himself to leave him to... whatever might happen to him.
Also, he may have a soft spot for him.
I don't know what I'm doing folks. Gotham has taken over my life :D I just so badly wanted Nice Oswald to interact with Jim.

Summary
My idea of an episode arc, somewhere between the end of the first season and way before the movie.
An exploration of the lives of Serenity's crew with some Extra Cargo and an 'easy' paying job to Pythagoras. Boxes, letters, dinosaurs, spider webs, men shopping, checklists, and a gentle but gruff Jayne. A story of an unconventional family being created - not slash. Mostly tooth rotting fluff.Series

Summary
“I am Circe. I am the one saving your stupid hides from getting tortured more.” I walked forward, standing in front of the gun. “I owe you nothing. But after this, all of you owe me many favors. Now, I suggest you give me back my gun before I am pushed to take it from you.”
Because Circe was the daughter of the Greek Goddess Hecate and a power-hungry HYDRA scientist, she has had a tough life. After many years of experiments were done in order for her to obtain powers, Circe finally presented. Unfortunately, she was an Omega, and her father allowed her Alpha guards to hurt her in every way possible to ensure the gain of powers. When she was older and had gained their trust, she vanished.
When former-SHIELD Director, Nick Fury, enters a Mercenary Bar looking for the infamous assassin, Circe, she is taken aback by the job he assigns her: find and retrieve the kidnapped Avengers. She does so, of course, but at a price: the Avengers have taken a liking to her -- at least, most of them have. She is forced to work with them through numerous missions, trying to escape after every debriefing (to no avail).
But the Avengers are confused: why can Circe not tell they are her soulmates?

Summary
Following the events of Civil War, Steve and the rest of the Rogues are taken care of in Wakanda while Shuri works to de-program the Winter Soldier. Shortly after, Steve and Tony come back together to work through their shit and team up to ratify the Accords and bring the team in front of the UN in an effort to let the dust settle and move forward.
As a result, the Rogues are put on house arrest. Bucky, on the other hand, succumbs to a harsher punishment due to public outcry and political maneuvering. Guilt-ridden and unwilling to fight for himself, Bucky accepts a plea deal and is sent to be imprisoned on the Raft for two years before spending the rest of his life on probation.
The good friend that he is, Steve convinces the rest of the team to write to Bucky in order to stave off loneliness. Bucky finds most of the letters contrite, painful, or meaningless. But there's something about Barton's that makes him write back...

Yondu lives a happy life after his flirt with Death on Ego, for awhile anyway, but nothing good ever lasts forever. Now he has to come face to face with Death again but it's not his own life the bony hand is reaching out for. How's he supposed to deal with this? It was easy when it was his own .
This has two endings planned btw and I'll post both so if the character death sounds too depressing there's one where it doesn't happen.Bookmarked by HTG_zoo

Summary
It's just a normal day for billionaire, genius, superhero Tony Stark. A morning of coffee, distracting Super-Soldiers and an argument over novelty mugs before he heads to Greenwich Village to chat with a certain sorcerer. Of course, it all goes to shit when stumbles across the wrong higher dimensional being, and he somehow finds himself seventy-five years in the past. With no armored suit, money or place to go, Tony isn't sure what to do. Until he stumbles across a group of men in an alley who are standing around a small figure with blonde hair and familiar blue eyes.
Seriously, what had been in that coffee?
An opportunity for a different first impression allows him a new look at his future teammates and gives Tony the chance to realize some things about himself along the way.
Still, screw magic.
