Summary
"We met at an old fashioned battle of the bands. We were in competing bands. Nicky's won."
"So what happened?" Nile asks, genuinely curious. "Did your eyes meet across the stage like destiny and you each abandoned your bands for each other?"
"No, no," Joe chuckles. "Nothing so dramatic."

Summary
"Wow," Nile said. "You sure know how to screw up a first impression."
Nicky ignored her and rubbed at his forehead where a headache was forming. Nile was both wrong and right. Wrong, because this morning wasn't the first time Nicky had met Yusuf—or Joe as he was known at the time. And right, because Nicky's actual first impression wasn't much better.
Joe and Nicky meet again sixteen years after high school. A Teacher AU.

Summary
It was easy for the media to label them rivals—the best up-and-coming players at Real Madrid and Juventus. Nevermind that Yusuf "Joe" Al-Kaysani was Dutch and had actually started his career with Ajax in his home country. The media seemed eager to pit Nicolò "Nicky" di Genova's quiet, more reserved nature against Joe's flamboyant exuberance.
However, time doesn't stop for even the best players and old blood needs to make way for the new. Joe's contract gets sold to Liverpool in the middle of one season and Nicky follows a year and a half later. Suddenly the "bitter rivals" are teammates.

Summary
They've made a habit of this: the late night knock, the doorbell lean, the quickly picked lock. Turning up in one another's spaces unannounced, though not unwelcome. The promise of sanctuary has been there as long as they've known each other, which is longer than most people realize and much longer than they'll admit to.
In which Arthur and Eames have always relied on each other to keep one important secret.

Summary
“You’ve got, like.” The witch taps his own chest, center mass, with the slice of pizza. “An infection, kinda. In your soul, I guess. Whatever you want to call it. Nobody wants to call it magic.”
“I don’t have any magic,” Bucky says, immediately. He’s not a witch.
“Sure,” the witch says. “Well, that thing you have that connects you to Steve, the part of you that can form bonds to other people. That part of you. It’s fucked.”
“Fucked,” Bucky repeats. He wonders if that’s a medical or magical diagnosis.

Summary
When Bucky's done explaining the time loop, there's a beat of silence before Tony asks, "Did you check the lottery numbers?"
Sam snorts. "Right, because what you need is more money. Hey, you two better not spoil the Mets score."
"Tell all future versions of me you encounter that we're in a competition to see who can avoid getting bitten by the rat," says Natasha.
Clint wonders if maybe the team has gotten a little too blasé about bizarre magical shit.

Summary
There’s a beat and then Phil says, “Clint, you don’t have anything to prove.”
And that stings, because, “If you think I’m doing this to prove anything to anyone, then you don’t know me half as well as I thought you did.” He hears Phil sigh on the other end of the comm. “Besides,” Clint tells him, “I’ll have back-up. I’ll have Barnes. Hawkeye out.” He reaches up and clicks off the comm, cutting off Phil’s continued objection mid-word.
Eight days these assholes have had Barnes and he’s not going to let them keep him for another hour, much less another day. He doesn’t have anything to prove, but he sure as hell isn’t going to give anyone any reason to question his actions, either.
