An Ice Age meta post type of story. Potentially controversial. This ficlet sets out to explain what went on during the missing years between the Meltdown and DoTD, and also Manny's views on Diego's hunting, not to mention what led to the temporary "breakup" (I've read reviews calling it that!) of their friendship at the beginning of DoTD.
Also crossposted to ff.net. Foreshadowing for my CI-verse & Mango-ish.

Summary
It was Mrs. Figg who suspected first.
She noticed many things, sitting on her side of her fence with her cats chasing butterflies and nuzzling her ankles, Mundungus and the other watchers dropping by for tea now and then.
Mrs. Figg noticed that Petunia was a nosy bit of work with insecurities hanging from her every harsh angle. She noticed when Dudley learned the word MINE-- the whole neighborhood noticed that one. She noticed that Vernon glared at owls.
She noticed that when Petunia gave Harry a truly horrendous haircut one year, it grew back in at a normal rate. Harry was uneven and weird-looking for ages, hiding under beanies when he could.
When Mrs. Figg had Harry over for carefully miserable afternoons of babysitting, she noticed nothing moved that shouldn't. He didn't accidentally make flowers out of fallen leaves, or levitate anything during tantrums, or turn toys funny colors.
Mrs. Figg called up her mother, interrupting the wizarding bridge game she was winning against the nursing home staff, and asked her how she had known, decades back, that her youngest daughter was a squib.

Summary
Steve Rogers always does what he thinks is right. Unfortunately, believing he is right isn't the same as being right. Sometimes he's wrong. And sometimes he has to face the consequences of his actions.
Or, what if Team Cap was actually called out on their poor decisions and had to deal with consequences instead of being rewarded? A series of unrelated drabbles of what might have been.
And in case the tags aren't clear: this is not Steve or Team Cap friendly. If that's not your thing, just don't read it.

"What would you have done?"
The infarction was something they didn't talk about. Ever. Through mutual, unspoken agreement, they never talked about the intimate details of those hellish days and the year following it. It had made the silence between them jagged and hard for awhile, but those edges dulled over time. At least for Wilson they did.
"Please don't make me answer that."

“Just because the bowtruckles can suck your dick doesn’t mean they will,” says Gerry.
“Bowtruckles have caused me so much emotional damage in the last hour that they should suck my dick just to make up for it.”
Or, Yoongi goes to Hogwarts, and meets Jeongguk, and grows up.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the most beautifully heartbreaking love story that we never got and tbh- fuck you Marvel for not giving it to us. Jokes aside, it is a fascinating take on the splinter universe that cap returned to- despite the lack of memories. In fact, that made it more interesting to see a different Steve than the high and mighty superhero, but a soldier. I have never seen a more pure fictional take on one person’s love that has been a constant in life.
Somebody get me a Bucky figure.
But this is amazing and deserves all the love so if you’re scrolling down my bookmarks page and took the time to read this: I implore you to click the above link. You won’t regret it x -

Summary
Min Yoongi is an art director with zero tolerance for bullshit, looking for ultimate perfection in everything he creates.
Kim Taehyung is the co-owner of a vintage fashion boutique who talks to clothes and learns magic from Tumblr.It’s a match made in the depths of hell.
[“Taehyung-ah,” Seokjin says, wily and soft, “You’re not scared of meeting Yoongi, are you?”
Taehyung knows this is bait. Seokjin knows this is bait. Even Yeontan, running circles around Taehyung now, knows this is bait.
His angry brows are very expressive, and right now they’re saying 'don’t take the bait, don’t be a stupid fish.'
Taehyung's a stupid fish.]- Language:

Summary
“This is wrong.” He whispers with a shake of his head. “Namjoon, we need to stop this.”
Namjoon’s jaw clenches as he regards him heavily, with much more grief than Jungkook would like. “If I knew how to stop, I would” is the reply he gets. He sees the want in Namjoon’s eyes, swirling with conflict, and Jungkook doesn’t understand how Namjoon could want him this bad, so heartbreakingly bad -
And still not want him at all.
“Let’s get back to the party, hyung. Your fiance must be looking for you."
OR
Namjoon is getting married and it's not to Jungkook, but somehow he always finds himself waking up in his bed.

Bookmarker's Notes
a goddamn masterpiece. I wanted to scream and sob but nothing would come out. GODDDDDD everything about this was so brilliant thought-out. the ot7 friendships are everything. They’re all old HS friends and there’s Vegas trips and flashbacks and missed moments and longing and depression and side ships and plot twists and gut wrenching sad shit and babies and adulting and fuck I love this so much.
“re: “at least I didn’t kill my friend” Jungkook spits back
my notes — “pre-Jackson’s death you could tell that NJ had hesitations of some sort abt finally taking the leap with JK, stemming from simply being nervous, perhaps breaking the friend group up (as seen with yoonmin), internalized homophobia, being scared of homophobia (as seen with jimins incident). however post-Jackson’s death really shifted the idea of Namkook in many ways. not only did Jackson’s accident and death literally stop NJ from confessing but on NJ’s end, added another internal obstacle which is guilt. this is why NJ feels like he can never truly allow himself happiness w JK, even before ever getting together with yoonji. being with JK brings guilt bc the idea of being with JK is what killed Jackson to begin with by proxy. NJ probs doesn’t think he deserves happiness with the love of his life when that was what took someone else’s boyfriend one away. Much to think about.”
