    Summary

    Hal Jordan was dying long before a mission went wrong and his heart finally gave out.

    He was dying when he signed the divorce papers. Dying without making it anyone else’s problem.

    No one Noticed.
    Not Bruce. Not Clark. Not the Justice League.

    And Hal was fine with that because twenty months ago he signed away the right to have anyone worry about him.

    He would have kept it that way, too If he hadn’t burned himself out saving the world. If he hadn’t collapsed hard enough that everyone finally had to look.

    Now Bruce and Clark are hovering like they never spent nearly two years avoiding him. Acting like this is their burden to carry, like they didn’t already decide, once, that letting him go was easier than staying.

    Hal doesn’t understand it. There’s no cure. If Oa hasn’t found one, there’s no point in pretending otherwise. He’s made peace with dying.

    Bruce and Clark haven’t.

    They refuse to give up on him the way they gave up on the marriage. And that more than the poison in his blood or the ache in his chest is what hurts the most.

    Because Hal is still in love with them. And loving them while they fight to save him might be the one thing he can’t survive.

    Summary

    After a succesful mission to take down a HYDRA-base right under their noses in Manhattan, Tony is injured. Hiding his injury from the rest of the team, the team quickly starts to pick up on his off-character behaviour, and they're not letting it go just like that. As they try to get him to open up, Tony starts to distance himself while his physical- and emotional- state worsens. When push comes to shove, the team scrambles to show the genius he can trust them fully, with all of himself. Tony finds out along the way that it is not so bad to be taken care of - and to be cared for by- his friends.
    Basically some good Avengers vibes because Tony deserves it. Features a heavy dose of arc-reactor angst. Also, Steve has patience, which works out great for both of them.

    Summary

    The Sandpiper network guided countless men, women, and children to safer lands. To many, it was a beacon of hope in dark times. To others, it was an uprising meant to be snuffed out.

    No one, however, had any plans in place to save the Sandpiper.

    Not even the Sandpiper himself.

    Summary

    Over the years, Jaskier gets a reputation amongst witchers as the guy who will get you out of bind if you need him to. He’s the witchers’ bard, after all. Need a hand with your injuries? A safe place to hide? A friendly face? Find Jaskier.

    Jaskier, on the other hand, has no idea why witchers in trouble keep bumping into him on the road, but fate is funny that way, isn’t it? He’s certainly not going to turn them away

    Summary

    Sam used to think his college campus felt huge.
    Sprawling. Busy. Alive.

    Now it felt… claustrophobic.

    The sitting area outside the lecture hall buzzed with chatter, but it all died for a split second the moment he stepped inside the doors — long enough for his stomach to tighten. Eyes flicked toward him. A girl elbowed her friend. Two guys paused in conversation. A third lifted his phone subtly toward him like he was photographing an animal at a zoo.

    It had been three weeks since Egypt.

    Three weeks since he’d watched ancient metal gods rise from the sand.
    Three weeks since he’d died — literally died — and been brought back by something older than human history.
    Three weeks since he’d saved Earth… again.

    But here?
    To these people?

    He was just a headline that refused to disappear.

     

    Who knew that Optimus Prime would be his saving grace, who pulls him out from under this darkness.
