    Summary

    “Well, your grandmother knew how to belly dance since she was little. She tried to teach me, but I was horrible at it,” Mama laughs. “All my movements were clunky and at odds. You’re very good for your first time.”
    Damian preens, and says “Thank you!”
    Mama laughs, and it sounds younger than Damian is used to. She’s pretty in the low lights of their room, all sparkles and kohl and a kind of glow that he thinks is her happiness shining through her skin. “Well, when I got to college, I met Miriam and Leena and Sara. They picked up where Ummi left off, teaching me how to dance, and it got easier with all the Assasin training I’ve done. Flexibility and such.” She looks at him now, eyes shining in the dimness. “I thought you’d enjoy trying it out with me.”

    Summary

    Dragons are fire-made flesh.

    Rhaenyra knew her claim to the Iron Throne would be challenged, but not that it would lead to war. Nor did she expect the land to be ravaged and lose everyone she loved. When her half-brother feeds her to his dragon, she is ready to die; the pain in her heart is gone. But the Gods of Valyria offer Rhaenyra a choice: she can choose between living in eternal happiness or returning to the mortal realm for a second chance.

    The former means leaving the world at a tyrants' mercy and allowing the icy evil from the North to sweep over the land.

    The latter means preventing dragons' extinction and restoring House Targaryen.

    Rhaenyra knows her duty and chooses the second option but her mind is full of doubt. Can she do it? Can she stop the horrible civil war almost destroying her House and the Kingdom? Or is her death written in the pages of fate?

    Summary

    The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.

    There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.

    “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

    Summary

    Drafted into SHIELD by 'uncle' Fury? Check.
    Awesome Spider Powers? Of course!
    Having to pay the bills on a terrible government salary?

    Nobody told Peter that being in SHIELD was just an excuse for basically free child labor. Or that his landlady would be a psycho ex-agent who gassed those who paid rent late.
    Honestly, if HYDRA had better pay, Peter might just flip.
    Just kidding, Uncle Fury would drag him back and dock his pay.

    Being a teenaged agent was hard, but nothing Peter couldn't handle. If only he didn't catch the attention of a certain super hero team. At least he could free-load off of them!
