Summary
Not until John's been in the army for a year does he realize there's something strange about his timer. He is the only person whose time never, ever changes. It's comforting, really. To know that apparently there's nothing that could keep him from meeting his soulmate, whoever she is. To always know that no matter what, she's coming. And soon.
Sherlock tries to cut off his timer on three separate occasions before Mycroft finally hacks the hospital database and shows Sherlock the x-rays of the damage he causes himself each time. When people see his timer they always make that face, that oh-you-poor-thing face that's more annoying even than the timer itself, because according to his timer, Sherlock won't meet his soulmate for decades.

Summary
Tony obsesses over every moment of the whole morning. The way Steve's voice sounded, the slight quaver to it, makes Tony worried and nervous, though he doesn't know why. Despite his best efforts he fixates on that noise Steve made, wondering if he could get him to make it in another context. And then he remembers how thoroughly those contexts could destroy his life, which is why he's decided to stay away from them. But then that noise replays again in Tony's head, oh ye gods...
(Steve is everything Tony's never let himself hope for. Tony feels safe for the first time in his life. But there are still things Tony can't bring himself to say, and he knows there are things Steve's keeping from him. What he sees when he has those screaming nightmares, for one. What the hell happened to his friend Bucky he's only mentioned twice, and both times apparent accidents, for another. What he surely must really think of Tony's whiplash reactions to sex or kissing or skin.
What's a guy in love to do.)

Summary
On his wedding night, Neville learned something important. Forgetting wouldn't happen all at once for either of them.

But never easier...knowing after it was done, he would spend the rest of his life loving a muggle woman who could no longer remember she loved him back.

Summary
When people thought of Poseidon they thought of the sea; Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, Commander of the Waves, the Stormbringer. Upon consideration they would add Earthshaker, for catastrophic events such as earthquakes were hard to forget. Few remembered, however, that Poseidon was also Lord of the Horses. Stormbringer and Earthshaker tended to squeeze that one out.
Percy had been able to talk to horses for as long as he could remember. He liked to think he understood them. Although he's not entirely sure why the new stallion thinks he's its foal.
Poseidon is not jealous that Percy thinks a horse makes a better father figure than himself. At all.
