    Summary

    He met Natasha at the bus stop.

    “Tin Man,” she said with her trademark half smile.

    “Scary Spice,” he returned.

    Another beat passed before they were locked in a tight embrace. Tony pressed a kiss to Nat’s temple and they both let the tears gather for a few minutes.

    “He’s dead?” Nat whispered through tears.

    “Yeah, chicken,” Tony returned. “We won.”

    “Then why are you here?”

    “Same reason you are,” Tony replied as he pulled away from the hug, but grasped her hand and squeezed. “Winning required it.”

    &&&&&

    Nat & Tony meet at a bus stop in the afterlife and take a ride through heaven and hell.

    Eventually, everyone else does too.

    Summary

    That spring Steve hears a lot about what’s big in algebraic topology from Mary as she talks a mile a minute in the car passenger seat, across the dinner table, under worn-out beach umbrellas or climbing up him like he’s still her favorite jungle gym though she’s almost too big now. What he gathers mostly is that, in order to classify shapes, mathematicians spend a lot of time trying to distinguish between differences that matter and those that don’t.

    And isn’t that the trick in life, thinks Steve: figuring out what matters.

    (Doesn’t help in explaining Bucky, though, but he’s not sure what would.)

     

    Or: Steve as the single dad from Gifted and Bucky as the DJ from Monday. Sort of.

    Summary

    “What’s this one?” asked Oson, poking at one of the kimoyo beads. M’Baku frowned down at it. He didn’t think the princess had offered an explanation of this one, at least, not beyond it offering a connection to the internet. Was this one for Wakanda’s internet, or the rest of the world’s? He toggled it on, and squinted as the unnecessarily bright hologram beamed up, proclaiming it to be Hathor’s List. A little message offered an explanation: let Hathor guide your search for a partner, not your elders’ matchmaking! Find a perfect match, or a night of pleasure!

    Oh, that little brat, thought M’Baku.
