Summary
After the blood wards collapse and Harry is cast out by the Dursleys, he’s left without a guardian—just as Fudge circles, eager to seize custody.
With little time and even less options, Dumbledore proposes his grand solution; Snape as Harry’s new legal guardian. But a simple adoption on paper won’t satisfy the determined Minister. To avoid Fudge’s grasp, Harry and Snape must set aside their mutual hatred and act as though they’re a devoted father and son.
When he goes undercover with his life on the line and the Ministry watching for any misstep, Harry finds himself wrestling with unexpected emotions and begins to wonder, how long can a lie be told before it begins to feel like the truth?

Summary
In which, Discord decides to take the elementary strategy of 'picking off the weak' and completely reverse it. This time, Twilight Sparkle is the first to get manipulated; and the rest fall like dominoes.
Except for Fluttershy. For... some reason.
Now, there's a new deal between them: Fluttershy has to beat Discord in a game of Tag. If she wins, he reverses everything. If he wins, it's game over for Equestria. Easy win for the draconequus, right?
Well. You'd be wrong.
(or: When Discord first escapes his stone prison, he makes the disgustingly logical decision that Twilight is simply too intelligent to be messed with for long. So, naturally, he picks on Fluttershy instead. It goes as well as you'd expect.)

this fic is SO funny
but also it treats its characters with so much care
I actually really like rainbow dash in this one???
discord makes fluttershy feel brave???
discord quickly develops the deepest of soft spots for fluttershy???
fluttershy basically matches discord's freak in the weirdest waysquote:
Celestia is feeding them cocaine, Discord decides. It's the only explanation.
Discord looks away, staring at the train tracks disappearing beneath their feet, "you'll only die; so what's the point of it? All roads lead back to death sooner rather than later— all roads, except for mine."
Fluttershy closes her eyes, feeling the wind caress her cheeks in a way she'd once thought was loving. Thoughts flit around in her mind's eye like a thousand tiny birds, each clamoring for attention; in her heart, the dim light of hope begins to unfurl.
Then, she tips her chin to the sky and smiles.
"I think that's an even better reason for us to be friends, then," Fluttershy turns to him, eyes open and glimmering with possibilities. "When I'm gone, you can take after my animals. I've got a lot of giant tortoises that need a good and loving hoof to keep them company in the next hundred years."
The tonal change manages to startle a wide-eyed look at him, along with a strangled noise.
"I haven't even said 'yes' yet and you're still trying to maximise my immortality," Discord accuses her, affronted. She just grins at him— not quite a Pinkie Pie grin, but something close: something a bit softer. "Are you sure you're the Element of Kindness? I feel like 'Element of Extortion' might be a tad more fitting."
"You said 'yet'," Fluttershy points out, turning to look up at him. "There's jellyfish, too. Macaws, albatrosses— I even have a tuatara. I think you'd get along."
He sputters, arms moving about in a manner that can only be described as flailing. "I haven't even met the horrid hellions yet so why are you—"
"-you said yet again!" She repeats, almost vibrating with joy. "That's pretty much a yes!"
"You ponies have a gift for hearing what you want to hear," he tells her with a huff, folding his arms against his chest. He turns away from her— and, it would've made her feel disheartened, if it weren't for the fact his ears were angled to catch her voice. "You're putting me, the Master of Chaos, into employ as a zookeeper for a bunch of raggamuffins that I don't even know the names of—"
And Fluttershy jumps to her hooves, glowing.
"-so you'll just have to meet them," she tells him, serious as can be. "That's simple; I'll tell you their names, their favourite foods—"
Discord just gapes.
Fluttershy turns to look at him, seated at a booth. An attempt at thoughtfulness had been made, he notes fondly: she's haphazardly upturned pillows throughout the cart, multiple curtains are hanging from different angles off their hinges, and all the windows have been propped open.
Octavia frowns.
"But..?"
Then Fluttershy turns back to her, smiling with her eyes. There's laughter in her voice, buoyed by the anxious fear that the Everfree always invokes: but laughter nonetheless.
"He'll, um, get bored in the hills," the pegasus tells her, sweet and kind. "So, really there's only one choice. F-friends make sure other friends are having fun too. Pinkie Pie taught me that."
All of the sympathy drains out of Octavia like a funnel, left to rot on the ground in a thoughtless grave.
"You're insane."
"You're a lot of things. You're sarcastic, and callous, and mean at times, and don't realise when you've gone too far..."
"Wow," Discord can't help but drawl, frowning. "I feel loved; no, really. Practically showered in adoration."
"—but," Fluttershy continues, rolling her eyes with a tiny, practically nonexistent smile. It's radiant; Celestia's sun wishes it shined even half as brightly; half as warmly. "But you're also funny, and warm, and... and you're careful. You're so careful, Discord; you make fire that doesn't burn, you give my friends endless food and drink, and you've never hurt me: not even when... when I've hurt you. You don't do things just to hurt others. You do things because they— they make their own kind of sense to you. You do things because you think it makes them better, not because you're actively trying to make them worse."
fluttershy also flips a table at discord lol I love them

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
It all started the way it usually did; with Tony doubting his own sanity.
“Happy,” he said, turning the paper over, then turning it back, squinting at it. “What the hell is this?”
Happy barely glanced up from his phone. “How should I know? I just drive you around, I don’t try to understand your designs. You’re the one who left it in the back of the car yesterday.”
Tony turned the paper towards Happy, tapping a finger against the scribbles in the margin. “I didn’t write that. I thought it, but I didn’t write it. What sorcery is this?”
“Oh shit, sorry,” Happy said, expression resigned. “I’m guessing the kid went through them when I drove him to school this morning. He has no regard for personal boundaries.”
“The kid.”
“Um— My girlfriend, she has a—“
“Your stepson did these calculations?”
“That’s not entirely—“
“Bring him to me,” Tony commanded.- Language:

quote
“What? I’m still stuck on the weird insect bite, I’m... Are there mutant ladybugs flying around the city?”
“No doctors,” May said, slapping her hand against the table. “Honey, I swear, if the freaking government comes after you, I will pack our bags and move us to… to Kyrgyzstan tomorrow!”
“Huh,” Peter said. “Can I bring my microscope?”
“They have microscopes in Kyrgyzstan, I’m sure.”
“Yep. He’s on his way. He was rambling a little on the phone. Something about moving to Kyrgyzstan.”
“We’re not moving to Kyrgyzstan.”
“Good,” Tony said. “Because you should really consider Kazakhstan instead. They have no extradition agreement with the US. — That’s right, I know my escape plans.”
