Summary
Kurapika had always been reckless at the worst of times. Voices sprung up from the back of his mind, telling him this was a bad idea. There were things he still needed to tell Leorio. Affairs he still hadn’t taken care of. For once, the thundering of his heartbeat drowned them out.
The words were on his lips before he could even register them. “Marry me,” he said.

Summary
Parker used to tell herself bedtime stories.
Because no one else did, and because the picture books she came across always seemed to paint the dragons as the bad guys. So she made her own, stories where the rules made more sense to her and the characters were more interesting and the dragons were bigger and cooler and winners and always got a happy ending.
Parker falls in love three times.

Summary
This is how Parker knows she’s in love: because any other time she’s ever wanted something, she’s just taken it, but she doesn’t want to take Hardison, hoard him for herself when she doesn’t know how to love him right. She wants him to be happy. She wants to be what he deserves but if she can’t be, since she can’t be, she’ll… she’ll have to make sure he’s happy anyway.
***
Parker doesn’t know how to be in love with Hardison. She tries to get Eliot to do it for her.

Summary
Eliot knows it’s gonna be bad from the moment he hears the knock on his window.
Because of the limited number of people who can get to his window eight stories up, the only person who would knock is also the only one who never has to. And that spells more trouble than he’s prepared for two beers and three quarters into a hockey game. Sure enough in the dark, there’s Parker’s shock of blonde hair, her pale face fuzzy through the glass, the light pink leotard she’s been wearing for this dance studio job they’ve been doing and the splattered stain of blood across the front of it.
“It’s not mine."

Summary
Nate throws away the con on the spot. "I'm on my way," he shouts, desperation like shards of glass in his voice. Parker hears a mighty splash, hears Ferya cawing beside him. "Keep her alive, Eliot, I'm at the pool now - keep her alive!"
Eliot stares her down, like any second she'll vanish. Iysa presses against his back and whines, Eliot's grip just shy of bruising. There are memories consuming him, blocking out the light in Eliot Spencer's eyes.
Parker owes them this. She owes them her life. She owes them the truth.
So she leans in and screams, "That's not my daemon!"
-------
A daemon au, where your soul reflects who you are. Not what's useful, and not what you like about yourself. Just you.
Or, the one in which Parker will do anything but show who she is, and her team will do anything to keep her from leaving.

Summary
When Steve is defrosted early by Howard Stark, who dedicated his retirement to searching for Captain America, he's feeling rather lost in the world that has moved on without him. But Howard is happy to help, he gives him a place to stay and a friendly face, and for that Steve is grateful.
He also tells Steve that under no circumstances must he go near his son, Tony Stark. According to Howard, the man is a nasty piece of work. And really, it's not like Howard would lie to him, right?
Wrong.

Summary
The world is safe. The Avengers, led by Steve Rogers and funded by the billionaire CEO Pepper Stark, are working to keep it that way. But vigilantes are starting to become an issue, and it seems like their might be other, non-world-destroying, personal problems on the rise.
Introduce Tony Stanley, young entrepreneur genius, and Steve might just be falling in love.
But life is never that easy and not everything is as it seems. There's a looming threat on the rise, and underneath it, secrets and lies might just destroy the Avengers from within.
With new faces and terribly old ones making appearances, who is good, and who is bad, and how can you possibly tell?

Summary
Leorio Paladiknight is a hardboiled L.A. private eye with one weakness - a soft spot for pretty clients in distress. When Kurapika walks into his office and offers him a deal that's too good to be true, Leorio should know better than to get involved; but his heart overrules his head. Very soon he's tangled in a Spider's web of personal revenge, the Zoldyck mafia family, and the priceless Kurtan Rubies... which turn out to be something *far* more valuable than simple gemstones, and much more dangerous than he suspected.
Also featuring: Gon as Leorio's long-standing detective partner and Killua as one of the only clean cops in the city that his family rules from the shadows.

Summary
In the modern world, most mages are wizards who must formally study their magic. Sorcerers, natural and powerful magic-users, are increasingly rare and prized as a result.
When the Kurta Clan are slaughtered for the power of their blood, Kurapika is the sole survivor. He faces a stark choice: revenge against his family's murderers - or turning to forbidden magic, Necromancy, to pull their souls out of the afterlife. He chooses the latter - but he's going to need help. So he turns to Leorio, a white mage/med student who works in the local morgue, for help with magically preserving his clan's bodies.
Kurapika fully intends to sacrifice himself during the ritual. One life for 128 is more than fair. But Leorio doesn't agree. Over the years of preparation, he tries to convince Kurapika that his life is actually worth living.

Bucky laughs and hangs up.

Summary
The circus has a way of evening people out. Everyone looks the same when the lights center on the stage. The whole audience, just blank shadows, staring in. Everyone looks like nothing.
Someone like this, though. Someone like him. They’ll throw off that nothing before they get back to whatever pampered bed they crawled out of. Everyone else stays nothing, but, for people like that, it’s just a temporary state.
Clint doesn’t mean to watch him. It’s just that he keeps catching Clint’s eye.

Summary
Sleep-deprived and under-caffeinated, grad student Tony falls asleep in a conveniently empty classroom and wakes up in the middle of Bruce’s Physics 101 course. After seeing a groggy Tony fumble a simple question, actual-student Bucky offers to tutor him. In a moment of “oh no; he’s cute” panic, Tony takes him up on it. Now, in addition to his already complicated life, Tony has to figure out the answer to the incredibly messy question: “How do you look like you’re failing the class, when you literally wrote the book?”
