    Summary

    Ah, the cruel jest of time, to be reborn only to find that the scientific dreams of a former life—those noble ambitions of research and discovery—are but dust in the wind. Vytenis Hart, a soul once honed in the rigours of biology, finds his carefully crafted future scattered like leaves in the autumn breeze upon waking in 1980s Britain.

    The letter that arrives is not an invitation to publish in the hallowed halls of academia but a summons to a world where science is but a shadow—where wands and spells replace microscopes and journals. Magic, it seems, is the true "science" now, and Vytenis must abandon his quest for a Nobel Prize to grapple with a reality that insists on levitating rather than calculating.

    or;

    Vytenis Hart, a former biologist, wakes up in 1980s Britain to find his dreams of science replaced by a world where magic rules. Torn between his rational past and the chaos of wands and potions, he must navigate this new reality while questioning if logic can fit in a magical world.

    Summary

    John Walker, aka the "dime store Captain America," aka US Agent, is now an Avenger? How does that work? He doesn't know either. Being a part of a team was never really an expectation he had, but ever since he and the other Thunderbolts joined together to save the day, what other option did he have?

    Spoilers for The Thunderbolts (2025). You have to have seen The Thunderbolts and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to understand this.

    Summary

    “Brother … stop!”

    “It’s us! … family.”

    “Snap out of it! What’s wrong with you?”

    The words intertwine with the insane ramblings within his own mind.

    There’s a blade in his hand. It’s resting precariously over Damian’s pulse point.

    He digs it in deeper.

    He could kill him now. He really wants to.

    His eyes meet Ra’s, waiting for permission.

    There was a time when people used to call Jason the black sheep of the family.

    Turns out the Robin mantle wasn’t the only title that Tim inherited.

    Summary

    Peter wakes up in an unfamiliar city where everything is darker, and he has no idea who he can trust among its citizens or vigilantes that seem oddly fascinated with him. He can't even trust his own scrambled mind or his unfamiliar body with its different scars and much younger appearance.

    Updates every Thursday 😊 except on a hiatus for a few weeks while I get settled in a new city and a new job.

    Summary

    Is it a wonder i broke?
    let's hear one more joke.
    Then we can all just laugh
    until I cry. - T.S.

    “Good evening Mr Captain America Rogers, sir,” Peter replied and Mr Stark let out a guffaw, “God kid, you’re hilarious."
    “I don’t know about the rest of you but if the kid calls me Mr Hawkeye or Mr Hawkeye Barton even once I’ll lock him in an empty room and set Fury on him,” Hawkeye said, “If you really don’t want to call me Clint, kid, call me Hawkeye.” Peter just nodded, his throat was way too blocked up to speak and there was a stinging sensation behind his eyes.

    Sometime 6 months later, Peter hasn’t spoken to Tony Stark since and he wasn’t planning to ever again, that was until Mr Harrington’s announcement. But that wasn’t even the worst of it.
    “I'm sorry, what? I think I misheard you, Mr Harrington."
    “You heard me correctly, Mr Parker,” said Mr Harrington, gravely, “You’ve been banned from Avengers Tower.”
