Summary
Jayce's hands hold Viktor like he is something precious. They are burdened with death by Viktors influence where once they were clean, used only to create and protect and catch him before he ever realised he was falling at all. Every version of him has made a mockery of those kind hands, but they do not fight back.
“In every timeline, in every possibility,” Jayce recites, humming to himself in what sounds like satisfaction. His thumb smoothes along Viktors cheekbone. “Don’t push me away anymore, Viktor.”
OR: I had feelings about their conclusion so I wrote an extended scene, basically.

Summary
The day after the big gun-slinging shootout, the gang find themselves having a much more laid back slumber party adventure. When Jax and Pomni get shoved together in a closet for a game of Seven Minutes In Heaven, they are forced to confront some unspoken feelings left over from their fight.
Of course, one thing leads to another, and soon they are figuring out a new intimate aspect to their “friendship”. But how long can they really keep their feelings hidden from the others - or, indeed, themselves?
Or: a Funnybunny fix-it fic set after the events of episode 6, in which two dorks finally figure out they like each other and act on it, but not without some hurdles and bumps in the road...

Summary
Silence fell. Alexei lifted his hands up. “Well, what are we waiting for?” he shouted, gesturing at everything: the monitor showing the falling engine in real time, the countdown, the communications from the teams, the images of terror-stricken refugees filing into a temporary neighborhood in New Asgard, in Manitoba, in Ohio and Wakanda and China. Someone had set a fire in protest outside the United Nations. Smoke rose, obscuring the flags. “NOAA said this morning that all of the Eastern Seaboard needs to be evacuated. American refugees are flooding into Canada. Too many tensions, huh? Going to cause a war if we don’t do something. So what are we waiting for?”
“A vote.” Bucky’s voice was sour and quiet as he shoved off from the wall and walked over. “We’re a team. We act like one. So we’ll vote on it.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a falling hunk of space junk threatens the fate of the planet, the New Avengers (and Bob) must make a choice: risk the Void, or save the world? But the Void has plans of his own, and Yelena is always nearby...

Summary
“You remember when we went to the movies?” She whispers, “And those guys from school, complete jerks who stole your lunch came up to us. And you stood in front of me, ready to protect me,”
“The kids were twice your size, and you were ready to fight all three of them. Just for me. They ran away pretty quick when I started scolding them. We got way too much popcorn and you covered my eyes when the characters started kissing, Mark, it was ridiculous.”
No reply.
“I wish your dad was like those bullies,” She says, knees pulled around her chest, “I wish I could tell him to leave you alone and he would,”
She wants to kill him. It’s a horrible, awful thought. Debbie’s never wanted to murder anyone. But Nolan fooled her. He was her best friend, her husband, he was Omni-man and she was his pet. He tried to kill her son. She can’t even do anything about it. It never bothered her that Nolan could snap her right in half. She didn't think Nolan would snap anyone in half. Until he did.
The heart monitor keeps beeping.
OR: Debbie and Mark, after Nolan leaves

Summary
Bruce tensed. It was small, imperceptible enough that most wouldn’t pick it up. Dick saw it coming a mile away. “You’re supposed to be taking down a smuggling ring in Tricorner.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly where you want me, isn’t it?” Jason's voice was calm, deceptively slow. Then it flipped on a dime, transforming into a cracking scream. “‘Cause if I was there, I wouldn’t have to see you put my brother in the fucking Pit!”
Pit. The Pit. The Lazarus Pit, noxious and intoxicating and everything Dick had spent years trying to forget, even as Jason showed up on his doorstep, unprompted, near tears, needing someone, anyone, to listen to his butchered, incomplete descriptions on what it was like to live drowning.
It melts you, he’d said once, wrapped in a blanket Dick didn’t remember owning. Brings you to your bare parts and builds you back up in a new form, again and again, until you forget that you ever used to be anything else. But it’s so cold, at the same time.
Dick didn’t feel cold or hot or angry or insane. He – didn’t feel anything, despite the heaving cries that choked him even now.
or, Dick dies. He gets better, but the Pit always has a cost.
