    Summary

    "Devil’s advocate (noun): a person who expresses a contentious opinion in order to provoke debate or test the strength of the opposing arguments."

    Foggy keeps playing devil's advocate, and he keeps winning. The other devil in Hell's Kitchen is not happy about this.

    Summary

    Jason doesn’t mean for the Winter Soldier to be a present for Tony Stark. The youngest Stark isn’t supposed to be involved at all.

    The plan is simple: intervene before the Winter Soldier can murder Howard and Maria, tranq the Winter Soldier until he’s sufficiently incapacitated, and then drag him off for further study and let the Starks carry on with their fraught, bourgeoisie bullshit.

    Summary

    Inoichi’s decision to adopt the boy was a spur of the moment thing, but he stood by it, and he could not be prouder of both his children, even if they lived to give him grey hair.

    Or, how a Yamanaka-trained Naruto went and cheerfully dismantled the last shreds of Sasuke’s self-image because conventional therapy obviously wasn’t working well enough, and then proved that even the best minds could be entirely dumb when it came to romance.

    Summary

    “Okay, heartbreaker,” he says, “how much to put the tires back on the car?”

    Jason rolls his eyes and gestures at him with the lug wrench. “Why don’t I just beat you up and steal your money? Is this the first time you’ve been to a bad part of town? Don’t show me your wallet, asshole. Come on.”

    The man heaves a heavy, aggrieved sigh and starts pulling out bills. “Five hundred?” He tries. “Six? We can go to an ATM.”

    “You are mugging yourself,” Jason says, oddly impressed. “Holy shit.”

    Summary

    Foggy looks at them for a moment before the brick of realization thwacks into him and he has to groan and put his face down on the table.

    “I’m not cheating on Daredevil with Matt.”

    “That’s not what we’re saying.”

    Foggy looks up at Steve. Searches his face. Groans even louder this time and puts his face back.

    “Matt is not trying to steal me away from Daredevil.”

    Where Matt is a little shit, the Avengers are concerned that Foggy is in a love triangle, and Matt and Foggy are so disgusting that Karen wants a raise.
