B(l)ending Time(lines): Spilling Secrets
Communicatime
Fics in which secrets come to light, either deliberately, or (somewhat) unwillingly, & the changes that brings.
Also fics where a particular (canon) line/conversation is a catalyst for communication &/or change.
A mix of events coming to light earlier than in canon, or during/after the fact, thus changing the (longterm) outcome.
Mostly short-ish/er, minimal to moderate impact on the long-term timeline (though possibly major impact on relationships)
(Closed, Moderated)

Summary
“Excuse me, are you Buck?” A tentative voice calls out from his left, cutting off whatever it is that Bobby had just been about to say. He turns to see a woman walking over, smiling at him like she’s greeting an old friend.
“I’m.. uh, yes?” He replies, ears still ringing with the words exhausting and suck it up and bail me out of jail.
Her answering grin is delighted and Buck can’t remember the last time someone was so happy to see him.

In which Buck is recognised by someone he saved during the tsunami and it’s the catalyst that knocks some much needed sense into everyone.
Lena “in my defence no one here emotes in a healthy way” Bosko also hammers home some truths into Bobby’s skull.

Summary
Someone has unleashed a horde of good (er-possibly OVER) communication fairies on the MCU. Pepper’s convinced that someone’s dosing Tony’s shot glass with a revolutionary new truth serum (because Sodium Pentothal would only make him babble more than he already does). And Steve doesn’t know what happened but even before the serum people were suddenly talking to him (not that he likes what they’re saying but it’s better than being summarily dismissed).
However the Powers that Be are NOT going to stand for this. If they have to drop an asteroid on Nick Fury’s dog to keep the plot on track THEY WILL DO IT (They’re not sure how the asteroid will help, but gosh-darn, they’re willing)! Whatever it takes, no matter what. Communication will NOT be allowed to get in the way of explosions and action scenes!!!
To keep things vaguely orderly I’m restructuring as a series with each movie being its own story and each chapter is a scene, possibly (if necessary) followed by a TPTB induced course correction.

Summary
In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves.
Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead.
Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.

"Some of the handlers let your pal just do his job. Barnes was a sniper originally and it’s still his preferred MO, distant, clean, no witnesses, no collateral. While this Morozov had him? Hands on, bloody." -
