    Summary

    “So what if I ate the cheeseburger?” Tony shouts, throwing a wrench at Loki’s head. The bastard dodges it easily as he stalks closer. “That doesn’t mean I belong to you!”

    “Oh, not to me,” Loki says lowly, a smile like honey slowly spreading its way across his face. “But with me? Surely you’ve heard of Persephone.”

    “A cheeseburger isn’t some fucking mystical pomegranate, you smirking lunatic.” It isn’t, it just isn’t. Not even close. "You aren't even Greek!" he adds, throwing another wrench which is dodged just as easily.

    Loki spreads his hands wide, posing like the showman he is. “I think you’ll find that a pomegranate symbolizes the fruit of the dead. Your cheeseburger, made of dead flesh, was topped with fruit. It’s close enough for the symbolism to bind.”

    “Ah-hah! There’s no fucking fruit on a cheeseburger,” Tony says triumphantly, finger pointing accusingly at Loki. “I fucking win, no going back to crazy town with you. I stay here in my workshop, and you fucking leave before I call the Avengers.”

    “Oh Stark,” Loki murmurs, almost affectionately. “A tomato is a berry, you ignorant fool.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Quote:
    Then Thor met a cat. The cat was lovely at first and spent a good few minutes letting Thor pet its fur affectionately, only to turn around and sink needle sharp claws and fangs into his hand with no warning. As Thor blinked down in hurt amazement into wide green eyes, he felt a sudden understanding.

    He has since adopted five cats and named each in honor of his brother. There is Silvertongue, a white, one-eyed cat that spends much of its time hiding under the bed. There is Skywalker, a blue Persian that will surprise Thor by jumping down on him from on high. There is Liesmith, a fat tabby that cannot (or will not) learn to use the litterbox. There is Hveðrungr, a bright orange menace that attacks him whenever he strolls down the hallway of his apartment. Finally, there is Loki, a black kitten that spends much of its time yelling at the other cats and pushing pottery off the windowsill.

    Thor loves all of them dearly and buys them many gifts which are carefully ignored. It’s just like living with Loki again.

    AND:
    “I need to eat something, okay? I probably can’t live that long without food.”

    “I’m not preventing you from eating,” Loki snaps. “I have made sure food is offered at least three times a day, or do I have to chew everything and spit it into your mouth for you like you are a hatchling?”

    “Oh, never put that image into my mind again, thank you,” says Tony, retching mentally. “And that’s not the point. I’m not going to eat something that you made.”

    Loki is immediately affronted. “I would never harm a welcomed guest in my home. I resent the implication, and were you not currently a guest in my home, I would defend my honor forcefully.”

    “Yeah, maybe you won’t harm me. Maybe you’ll trap me, or some shit,” Tony says darkly.

    Steak. Steak and a potato with everything on it.

    “Trap you?” Loki asks, anger melting into confusion.

    “It’s underworld shit, or something. Surely you’ve heard of Persephone.”

    “Explain, if you would be so kind,” Loki asks politely, head tilting in curiosity.

    Summary

    Aziraphale has always taken pride in his independence, but when the years begin to weigh on his six thousand year old bones, he begrudgingly begins to accept a little mobility assistance. He transitions from a cane to a tartan-backed wheelchair for long distances, which quickly becomes his new companion.

    But navigating London proves more treacherous than expected. Between pushy strangers, a miracle gone slightly awry, and Crowley’s increasingly creative (and chaotic) methods of “helping,” Aziraphale’s attempts at dignity are thoroughly tested. As well as his patience.

    Summary

    Maybe the fate of Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha Clan could have been changed if Itachi had just had one more family member he could trust -- someone as powerful, invested in Konoha, and devoted to the clan as him. Someone with a little extra knowledge up her sleeve.

    Unfortunately for Itachi, the Uchiha's abysmal luck with siblings has given him... Kaeru.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Working at the hospital. Receiving a sword, giving a mirror. Changing the medical files "password." Using lightening in water during the exam. Racing to Sasuke on the night of the massacre. Staying in touch with her two teammates. Dove summons. Chakra embroidery. Sharigan eyes.

    SPOILER QUOTES:
    The Chidori hits her at full power, Sasuke's anguish driving it deep into her stomach as the chirping of the lighting plows through flesh and organs--

    Only for Sasuke to find himself with a hand buried in Itachi's own guts.

    "So that is your Mangekyo Sharingan in action," Itachi says gravely, placing one hand on Sasuke's wrist to prevent an immediate worsening of the injury. "I had heard rumours."

    "It's called Kunitokotachi," Kaeru says. "Like it?"

    "It suits you," Itachi says.

    "Itachi--!" Sasuke cries, eyes wide with horror. "I-- I didn't mean to--"

    With his other hand, Itachi reaches out and taps Sasuke on his forehead.

    "My foolish younger brother," He sighs, reaching out and tapping Sasuke on the forehead. Then he looks past him, back to Kaeru. "I will not let you leave so easily."

    AND:
    "You were both Kaeru's teammates," Sasuke says, voice flat.

    He tries to imagine the smallest portion of what it must have been like for Itachi to kill-- to kill the entire clan, have his sister leave, pick Sasuke himself back up from the hospital, and then-- and then his sister's teammates offer to help.

    "Did she tell you she was-- that she didn't do it."

    She must have.

    "What?" Maruten says. "Oh, that. No, she never talked about any of that with me, even though we kept in contact. T&I is Yamanaka central, you know? And I like my job."

    "I killed several ANBU to cover her tracks on the way out," Tatsuma says. "Did I know she hadn't killed her clan? No. But Maruten said she didn't do it, so she didn't."

    He's talking to the ROOT agent that killed Danzo and a Torture and Investigation special jounin who'd successfully stayed in contact with a S ranked missing nin.

    "You believed in...nothing." Sasuke says. "You..."

    His sister's teammates kind of make Naruto look normal.

    "Uchiha Kaeru is not prone to personality shifts," Tatsuma says.

    "I think being in the Akatsuki really softened her a bit, though? Like, can you imagine 10 year old Kaeru giving us presents? No way."

    Presents.

    That's right. That's why he's here.

    "I buried a short sword with her," Sasuke says, eyes glued back onto the grave he'd been digging up. "I can't find it."

    "The one she never used?" Maruten says. "Wow, she dragged that thing all the way to the Akatsuki?"

    "It was Itachi's," Sasuke grinds out between clenched teeth.

    And she had used it. On herself.

    "Then why do you want it?" Maruten asks, invasively curious. "You've already got the necklace. She was so smug about that thing after you gave it to her. Wore it everywhere."

    Summary

    Team Red's mission was going to shit, before things went wrong in an entirely new way. Now in a different dimension with no explanation for how they got there, they have to find their way home - while trying to remain willfully ignorant of Bat's increasingly niche skill set as they do.
