Summary
She knows that the vision of Jack Abbot holding a baby in his arms shouldn’t tug at her heartstrings the way it does. It shouldn’t make her actually consider having a baby as a 3rd-year resident, especially when he refuses to tell her what he wants.
But she can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t stop thinking about what he would look like holding a bottle. Can’t stop thinking about a child that is half-Samira and half-him. A baby with her hair and his nose. A baby with her eyes and his freckles.
Samira Mohan is overworked, underpaid, and so goddamn lonely she can feel the ache in her bones. Jack Abbot knows the suffocating, marrow-deep sting of loneliness better than anyone else.
They both know that this is a bad idea.

Summary
Post-Finale. Belly and Conrad try to make sense of the last 24 hours while on a poorly-planned train ride to Brussels. After the mania? The inevitable comedown, and the cold reality of navigating their ongoing intimacy issues in a new city, with the stress of mundane life crowding in.
Luckily, they're both too stubborn to give up without a fight.
Angst, smut, and lots of emotional processing.

Summary
"You shouldn't be out here," Conrad says without looking at her, even though he's only here so she can be too. "So close to the water when it's this dark."
Belly sits down anyway. "Then neither should you."(Belly kisses Conrad that first night, at the bonfire. somehow everything changes and stays the same.)

Summary
Jack Abbot is two beers and a bourbon into the evening, pleasantly warm but not actually drunk. He thinks if he was drunk, he’d write this whole conversation off as an elaborate hallucination. Chucking a handful of mixed nuts into his mouth, he’s still not entirely sold on it not being some sex-deprived, testosterone-fueled fantasy his mind has cooked up after a full dose of trazodone.
Apparently, Samira Mohan is a virgin.
++
Samira doesn't want to finish out her residency still a virgin. She asks Jack Abbot to help. There are to be no feelings involved.

Summary
“If I asked you to come pick me up right now, would you?”
“Yeah,” his voice is so warm it makes something in her ache. That’s not something you can fight with either. “I can be at your apartment in ten minutes.”
The ache transforms into a twisting pain. “No, I’m at Henry’s.” What a pathetic excuse for a sentence fragment.
Or, Jack Abbot did not lose her. He gave her up.

Summary
Nathaly Shepard wasn't prepared to die. But some fates are worse than death. When her greatest enemy claims she's their only hope to defeat an impossible threat to humanity, she has no choice but to fight. But how is she supposed to contend with a foe that rivals even Sovereign's destruction when she's lost two years of her life and everything she held dear?
As she struggles to reconcile working for Cerberus and find her new place in the galaxy, others will try to make her a pawn. Spectres have always risked losing everything, but this time, it might be too much to ask.
Meanwhile, back in the Alliance, Kaidan Alenko uncovers a secret with dire implications for the past and future- one which will inevitably bring him into a confrontation with the woman he's mourned for two years, and threaten to tear them apart forever.
A re-imagined and canon-divergent Mass Effect 2, that keeps to the spirit of the original while exploring the true costs of resurrection, and how Kaidan Alenko became a spectre.

Summary
She isn’t blind. She knows Clark has a crush on her. Everyone at the Planet knows that.
But the problem is, the feelings aren’t entirely one-sided. She can’t afford to be distracted, god knows that. Relationships are messy and she’s never been any good at it. Still, the way Clark Kent is staring at her, all too serious, filled with too much wounding devotion, she fears what he’s going to say because she’s always thought he’s perpetually one step shy of declaring his feelings for her — and she doesn’t entirely know what her response will be. Lois usually has her answers for everything.
He steps forward. “I need to tell you something, Lois. Something I should have told you a long time ago.”
And then, moving slowly, deliberately, he takes off his glasses — and just like that, Lois Lane’s entire world tilts off its axis.

Summary
“My daughter is extremely reticent to the idea of needing protection,” said Melina thinly, placing her hand on the back of Yelena’s arm and giving her a light pinch where Barnes and Reynolds couldn’t see. Yelena maintained her grimace smile, not moving. “Your work is certainly cut out for you, Agent. I applaud your bravery in picking this assignment.”
___________________
Yelena Belova, only living daughter of the President of the United States, is assigned a new Secret Service agent, which she does not, under any circumstances, want.
Robert Reynolds, former Navy intelligence, is eager to prove himself in his new duties.
But both of them are hiding pain that goes deep, and time can only mask the truth for so long.

Summary
Sometimes on good days, when his dad wasn’t screaming and shouting at everything that moved, he’d put Bob in the truck and drive out on the 72 and go fishing with him in the evening. Flashlights in the dark, streaking dim across expanses of black water, muggy air, mosquitoes. Little red eyes looking back out of the water. They’d sit and guess how big the gators were from the distance between the eyes. You’d better watch yourself out here, Bobby, his dad would say sometimes, and pretend to start to push him forward over the boardwalk with a big hand splayed on his back. And he’d laugh and laugh, like it was funny.
Bob had never thought it was funny. But he’d learned early on to laugh along.
~~~~~~~
When Bob tries out a new solution for his wellbeing, he's advised by Barnes to keep to a schedule and avoid any variables. But this means pulling away from the New Avengers (and Yelena) for a while, and even though the results are fantastic, all that pent-up need for connection and affection has to go somewhere when the adjustment period is over.

Summary
Three months after New York was swallowed by a nightmarish blanket of psychological agony, Robert Reynolds was once again just Bob.
And Just Bob liked boring French New Wave and Depeche Mode and pictures of baby Highland cows. He stacked fries in his burgers like Jenga towers. He liked Jane Kenyon, Allen Ginsberg. Made a mean Lasagna alla Bolognese. Played guitar (kind of). Knew how to jumpstart a car (pretty well, actually). He liked chess.
He’d spent most of his life high, bridging sober gaps with odd jobs and side hustles and jail. He’d stolen from everyone who cared enough to let him into their home.
Robert Reynolds wasn’t Sentry, he wasn’t the Void—but he had been.
Wasn't it only a matter of time before he would be again?
After the Void descended on New York, Yelena adjusts to the life her sister led—dealing with PR managers, government endorsements, and a team she’s only recently learned to tolerate.
And then there’s the Bob thing.
And the Bob thing is super fucking complicated.- Language:

Summary
“Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.
“What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”
Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”
Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.

There’s a little jingle that quickly moves from a distance, right to the doorway, and suddenly, there’s a very good dog, sitting and staring at her with a curious expression.
“Kojo?” Lucy whispers, completely confused.

Unless...
If the idea of a drunken one-night stand with a stranger had been dreadful, well, this is objectively about ten times worse.

Summary
Cullen just looks at her, his expression hard to read but his jaw set stubbornly, the quick half turn of his head telling her that he’s as aware of the curious faces peering round the sides of the tents as she is. Even if he doesn’t take the bait, she’s enjoying dangling it in front of him immensely. He doesn't seem to be a man who's all that used to being teased, which is just too bad. He's proving wonderfully slow to learn.
