    Summary

    He did his best to smile, tried to speak in the way that he had when they’d been young and Rex had sought him out in need of gentle reassurance. “It doesn’t,” The words fell flat, devoid of comfort, “It hurts each time you lose someone.”

     

    What he didn’t say was that, when he caught himself thinking for just a moment too long, he wondered if this was better, if pain was better than apathy. A part of him feared that someday he’d simply cease to care, that there’d be too many dead for his grief to hold meaning. He worried, in the privacy of his room when he woke gasping from a nightmare, that he would cease to be Kote if he no longer cared.

     

    Cody dreams over and over of drowning, of unknown waters encasing him. He never quite drowns, and eventually Cody starts to become a man that might survive the war. He realises that once, he might simply have been a child.

    Summary

    This time, on Night Springs…

    To Casey’s surprise, Anderson invites him on a family trip. He doesn’t particularly want to spend his vacation days in the middle of nowhere, Washington, but Logan in particular wants him to join, and how can he turn her down?

    Once there, Logan wants his help digging into some family history that she thinks her mom isn’t telling her about, and Casey reluctantly agrees. Surely nothing serious could go wrong?

    Summary

    Tony Stark should have died when he snapped his fingers. Instead, he is stranded in a universe where he never existed– no fortune, no lab, no way home to the wife, daughter, and the Spiderling he vowed to protect. This universe’s Spider-Man isn’t the boy he knows, but the friendly-neighborhood hero can’t walk away from a citizen in need. Even if their story seems… well, insane. Plus, how can he resist helping a little girl reunite with her daddy?

    “Wait. You’re not Peter.”
    “Uh, yes I am? I think I’d know myself, sir.”
    “Cut the crap, Underoos. This isn’t funny anymore.”
    Peter frowned and blinked once. “Did you just call me Underwear?”
