    Summary

    One year after the televised revolution, the Thunderbolts have been vindicated—and reborn as the Explorers, a new science-driven alliance led by the Fantastic Four. With the world watching from below, Ichna Cascall-Walker now operates aboard the orbiting Baxter Laboratory Ring, her singularity stabilized at last.

    But everything changes when a dormant prism responds to her signal… and reveals something far stranger than any multiversal echo: a map written in time itself.

    Now Ichna, Reed Richards, and Sue Storm must uncover the anomaly's origin—before its signal spreads beyond their control. As John Walker leads a grounded field team bracing for contact, and the past begins bleeding into the present, the Explorers will find that not all anomalies are born from space.

    Some are born from memory.

    And some were waiting for them all along.

    Summary

    ‘Thank God Bucky’s with you.’
    And didn’t even sound like she was being funny about it. If anything she looked wholly relieved at the prospect.
    ‘Oh, yeah, thank God I have my fatally annoying
    lodger with me.’
    ‘Lodger,’ Sarah repeated flatly after a beat. ‘Right.’

    Sam ‘The Falcon’ Wilson makes an ill-advised bet, goes around the world, nearly loses everything and discovers that what he wanted most has been right alongside him the whole time.

    Or: It’s Around the World in 80 Days but make it Sam/Bucky.

    Summary

    Six months ago, telekinetic biker dyke supervillain Maddy Gillespie returned to Alberta to expose the cover-up of how three teens, superheroes in training, died on a Prairie League Cadets trip; along the way, they left their nemesis Neal "Slider" Salton for dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft. Maddy's intervention also prompted fellow former Cadet (and closeted trans girl with a crush) Abigail "Quickstep" Fleming to resign her Hero job in disgust, disappear, and transition.

    Last week, Abigail turned up in Texas, offering information she hoped would repay her debt to Maddy. Meanwhile, the alive-but-amnesiac Slider has blundered into Peterborough, Ontario, looking for answers...

    Summary

    Spider-Man was everything that Peter Parker wanted to be. He was like a game of pretend and sometimes when the suit was on, he could pretend that nothing had changed. People recognized him with the suit, Spider-Man was remembered.

    Peter Parker was not.

    A little over a year had passed since his existence had been erased and he was building a life for himself. He was in his second semester of college, he had a job, his apartment could be worse. Things were okay. But still, he couldn't help but feel that he was existing outside of himself. He sometimes felt disconnected from his body and it only seemed to get worse when both new and old foes seem to be intent on taking him down, no matter the consequences.

    Summary

    “What would you do if you could have him back?” Nie Huaisang asked him, a bit too seriously as he leaned forward.

    “There is no way for a dead cultivator to return,” Jiang Cheng scoffed, not even willing to entertain the thought.

    “Perhaps, perhaps not,” Nie Huaisang shrugged, “Even if he came back, that wouldn’t do much to help, would it? Your sister is still gone. His reputation still damaged.”

    “Stop speaking in riddles,” Jiang Wanyin growled, “What did you come here for, Nie Huaisang?”

    “I asked you what you would do for your brother back,” Nie Huaisang started, “I would do anything to have mine back, Jiang Wanyin. And I’m here to offer you that same choice. Because our brothers’ deaths never should have happened. They happened because of schemes and plots. They happened because of lies and deception. Your brother was made to be a villain and was led to his death because he was too powerful. Mine was murdered because he stood in the way of Jin Guangshan.”

    There's nothing Jiang Cheng wouldn't do to have his siblings back. And when Nie Huaisang comes to him with a proposal to save them by changing everything, he doesn't even hesitate to agree.

    Summary

    In the wake of Peter Parker erasing himself from the memories of his friends and family, not to mention the entire universe, he's doing as well as can be expected. Three years later, he's attending ESU, trying to work three jobs alongside getting two degrees, and still going out as Spider-Man. He's fine, really. Everything is just fine. That is until a run-in with the law and a DNA test shatter the carefully constructed facade that Peter had made his life.

    -

    “Your blood matches a sample the FBI has on file from a kidnapping case.” Agent Carisi opens the thicker file. “A four-year-old boy taken while on vacation with his father about twenty years ago.”
    Peter’s breathing speeds up.
    “Authorities took fingerprint and DNA samples from the boy’s room, and at the father’s behest, we continue to test them against any that are placed within any system we have access to.”
    A piece of paper with lab results lays atop the file. It gets picked up and placed on the table.
    “This afternoon, we finally got a match.”

    Summary

    Natasha and Maria have loved each other for a long time, even if they only told very select people. After Ultron they decide that their lives are to at risk to wait to get married. So they get married and the events after AOU play out very differently.

    (featuring Maria and Nat being disgustingly in love with one another, Clint being the best bestie a girl could wish for, and everyone getting a happy ending because I don't like how everyone is dead in canon)

     

    This fic can be read as a standalone, the prequel was written after the fact and there's no cliffhangers at the end :)

It's been six months since Spider-Man disappeared from the public eye and now, six months later Peter recieves his first alarming letter in the mail. The undisclosed truth rears it's ugly head and they know who he is and what he's been trying to hide away for so long.

    Someone out there wants him to confront the truth or pay for it with his life. No more lies, no more pretenses and no more running.

    He must face the music.

    Summary

    Maddy Gillespie is mad as hell. After spectacularly quitting her job as a government Hero, and defecting to the villainous Korps, the trans biker dyke sheep-bear swore she’d never go back to Alberta. Then the incident at Primrose Lake made the news.

    As a teen, Maddy was enrolled in the junior Hero training program operated by Dad’s old team. They attended “Cold Weather Survival Training” at Camp Primrose, too… but on their own cadet winter trip, back in 2012, nobody died. Furious at the Prairie League’s neglect of their teenage charges, Maddy heads to Edmonton to investigate, intent on exposing the public to the dirty secrets of training young supers. On the way, she’ll have to go through a cowardly informant, her reply-guy nemesis, a local legend, and one of her teenage bullies, now a high-profile Hero himself… and why is he so weirdly chill about her being a supervillain?

    Summary

    Maddy Gillespie, touring the Korps's various secret bases across North America, is trying to find where she can fit in and meaningfully help the supervillainous cause (without actually getting in punch-ups with the Heroes). Then, a surprise attack on the Korps in Austin, Texas, forces the sheep-bear to make a choice...

    Summary

    Madison Oakes is a lot of things. She’s 23. She’s a big eater. She’s a powerful telekinetic. She’s the government-backed superhero “Heartforce,” trained since adolescence to join the ranks of the PHL. She’s second-generation, even, upholding her late father’s Hero legacy.

    They’re also a butch, nonbinary trans lesbian, and their Hero team’s very first official ‘LGBTQ2+ Champion.’ Or at least they were, briefly, as a cynical PR move, before getting reassigned in Director Hagen’s obsessive schemes to infiltrate the supervillainous Korps… who don’t seem anything like what the sheep-bear’s always been told, actually.

    Now she must choose: Does she want to be a part of Hagen’s machinations? Does she want to be a Hero at all? Motorcycling across Canada to find answers, is Maddy on a collision course — with her boss, coworkers, self-doubt, family secrets, Dad’s so-called ‘legacy,’ and eight hundred kilos of marble — that can only end in a CHANGE OF HEART?
