Summary
Kara isn’t clueless. She might not be native to Earth, but she’s got everything she needs to know down. She’s got TikTok. She knows how to curse in English- like, a lot. She can definitely recognize when two Earthlings want to settle down into domestic bliss or at the very least fuck. Besides, Kon is clearly following Kryptonian customs with Tim. What is there for her to misunderstand?
Obviously they’re together.
OR
5 times Kara was sure Tim and Kon were together, and the one time they actually were.Shelves: DC Comics

Maybe getting kidnapped by space pirates was a good thing? by Beige_Eclipse
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
08 Dec 2023
Summary
It hasn’t even been one day since getting to the station and Izuku has somehow managed to find himself careening into the endless abyss that is space in a small pod he doesn’t know how to fly. Oh, look, aliens, maybe they’ll… or maybe they’ll just lock him space prison… At least he’s not alone, not that he knows any Common yet. Why does everyone seem so tense?
Follow Izuku as he tries to navigate through space and the many aliens and obstacles that inhabit it! We have familiar faces such as obligatory cat-alien Dadzawa and his bird-alien mate DadMic! Re-explore themes such as language barriers and Humans being BAMF from Space Australia! This work is inspired heavily by other MHA stories in the "Humans are Space Orcs" tab, but I hope to bring some originality to the community as soon as Izuku can make his way off the alien pirate ship!

Summary
“Maul is Sith,” Eeth said softly, “and a Sith that did not plan on killing his Master. A Sith that likely loved his Master… We have stripped him of an attachment. While we may now be able to properly give Maul closure, to begin getting him to recognize what happened to him was wrong…”
“It will nonetheless take time."
A slow-burn on Slavery, Freedom, and bringing Balance to the Force.

Stranger in a Familiar Land by MerrickBelle
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Iron Man (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
13 Aug 2018
Summary
Tony Stark is a complicated guy, with many secrets. One of which is that he is very lonely, despite his money and fame, he has few true friends and no real idea what to do with himself outside of Iron Man. Which is all anyone ever seems to want, except Pepper. Pepper hates Iron Man, but he can't change what he is.
Harry Potter has no idea what the hell is happening and isn't sure that he likes any of it, but he can't go back, can't undo what has been done, ever. A new life, new people, and a new world. None of which he wanted in the first damned place. Apparently what he wants doesn't seem to matter.The only direction is forward, for both of them.

Summary
If you’re sending yourself out to the edge of civilization, people expect it to be done for fame and glory – but then, Julian Bashir has never been what’s expected of him. He’s quite happy to agree with the reasons other people provide, because he isn’t sharing the private whys and wherefores when people are more than happy to fill in the gaps themselves. There are other, better things to worry about, work to be done and friends to be made – possibly even a lover, if he’s lucky…
...all while fighting to maintain his worth, and remain exactly who he’s always been.

Wandering Child by wanderingchild
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (2012), The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom, Thor (Movies)
05 Jul 2013
Summary
Originally a fill posted at norsekink in response to the prompt:
"After the Avengers capture Loki at the end of the movie, they lock him up as a precaution before shipping him off to Asgard. And being the good guys, they decide to give him the chance to bathe and dress in clean clothes instead of sleeping in his own dirty rags.
The problem is, without the whole battle gear and the drawn and mean look, Loki looks surprisingly young, which prompts the Avengers to ask Thor just how old Loki really is. Of course Loki is centuries old, but Thor tells them that in human standard, Loki would still be considered underage!
Cue to horrified Avengers who wants to know exactly what sort of crappy home life Loki must have had to end up like this before even reaching adulthood."
It rather spiralled from there into a behemoth, now in the process of being edited and hopefully cleaned of glaring plotholes! Updated daily.
