    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Official CBC Canada Reads Selection 2019, made possible by the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ottawa Tourism Board.

    Summary

    “Great, you’re in,” the Jedi says. “Welcome to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Mrs. Lars. Your quarters and uniform will be assigned to you shortly. Padawan Skeft will be here to escort you, please wait on the other side of this door.”
    Shmi stands and nearly tumbles over herself.
    “That’s it?” She asks, straightening her dress and bag.
    The Jedi sniffs.
    “That’s it,” they says. “You can—“
    “I thought it would be more difficult to persuade you,” Shmi says.
    “Ma’am,” the Jedi sighs, “We are an equal opportunity employer. Through the door, please.”

    (Shmi Skywalker is assaulted by too-real visions of her grandson in pain in the future. She gets a job at the Jedi Temple in order to prevent that from happening and soon after finds herself on a warship.)

    Summary

    “You don’t eat bacon because tiger-brain thinks people are meat,” Wally says, just to make sure he’s on the right track.

     

    “You say that like people aren’t made of meat.”

     

    “It’s- we’re people,” Wally says, his mouth running without consulting his brain.  “Isn’t that different?”

     

    The look Gar gives him is half frustration and half pity.

     

    “Wally, the biggest difference between pigs and people is opposable thumbs,” he says.

    Wally has a couple brushes with cannibalism over the years. It's probably fine.

    Summary

    "Agent Rogers. We have to stop meeting like this." The Winter Soldier crouched in front of where Steve was slumped against the wall, hands and forearms glued to the stone behind him by some kind of sticky polymer. "Comfortable?"

    "No," Steve lied. "My blood circulation has been cut off. I've lost all feeling in my hands."

    "Oh, so I should probably cut you loose," the Soldier deadpanned.

    "It's a medical emergency. You don't want to be responsible for me losing limbs, do you?"

    "Tell you what, if you lose your hands, I'll make you some new ones." He held up his metal hand, smallest finger crooked. “Pinkie promise.”

     

    Secret Agent adversaries-to-lovers AU where the Winter Soldier keeps tying Captain America to walls and sticking around to chat. Shut up, Natasha, it’s not flirting, okay? (It’s definitely flirting.)
