Summary
Before Peter Parker, there was another troubled youth who clawed and scratched her way into Tony Stark's heart. She was stubbornly independent, antisocial, and elusive, but he still somehow developed a soft spot for her. The weird thing was, she developed a soft spot for him too. But that didn't mean they'd deal with it well.
//
We've got lotsa characters in this one and I simply can't stress how long of a slow-burn it is lmao but the main focus was never supposed to be the romance!

Summary
Jessica Jones has many flaws and fears. Her short fuse has her storming into the midst of the Battle of New York; her paranoia has her keeping the Avengers at arms' length. But she isn't the only one dealing with paranoia and PTSD. Tony Stark seems to be spiralling in Stark Tower all alone, and sometimes Jessica just gives a damn.
//
Pain flares in Tony's jaw when his teeth grind together. One hand curls into a fist on the desk and his knuckles turn white from the force of it. "You are a tremendously difficult person to have any kind of relationship with, you know that?" he bites out, his voice cold and devoid of any hint of playfulness he'd normally be able to employ.
"So stop trying," Jessica retorts emphatically.
Tony's chin drops to his chest and he heaves a sigh, his brow furrowing. Through the haze of his anger, the rearing head of nauseating guilt, he has a sharp moment of clarity. "You'll seriously hit as low as you can just to put people off, huh?"

Summary
Wade tries out pet names for Peter until he finds the one that works.
//
"The name's Deadpool, by the way."
"Of course it is. Very ominous and murdery."
"Thanks! I came up with it myself! But, uh, yeah. You can call me that instead of 'buddy'. That's not very hero-and-anti-hero-fall-in-love of you, so. Just trying to help you stick to the genre, y'know? Anyhoos, toodles!" the merc calls, and he launches himself from the building in a fall that will absolutely have broken some bones, and scarpers off into the night.

Summary
Stiles loves that art can be a way for people to express themselves, their most private selves, to the people around them and be understood. He really, honestly, thinks it's an amazing thing, quiet in its beauty. He also loves that it's completely subjective.
/
"Is it possible to objectify a piece of art?"
The quirked eyebrow quickly drops and Stiles hears the hiss of a nose-sigh.
"Does that sound like something a drunk person would ask? It does, doesn't it? It shouldn't, though. It's a perfectly valid question. And someone sober came up with it," Stiles says. "It was me. I came up with it. The sober someone is me. I'm sober."

"If you ever betray us and go into Argent's just because it's all dark and moody like you, I hope you know that not even your eyebrows will stop me from annihilating you." / In which Derek owns a bookstore, Stiles works at a coffee shop, Isaac doesn't get paid as much as he thinks he should, and Derek has a lot of time for Vernon Boyd.

Summary
Another one of my implausible scenarios, this time featuring Rex!
Captain Rex is saddled with a civilian documentary filmmaker, tasked with 'humanising' the clones to help progress Senator Amidala's push for clone rights. Rex does not have time for this! -

Summary
“Okay,” he finally replied, “Okay, yeah. I mean, it makes sense.”
“What does?”
“You being in love with Theo,” Mason said, casual as anything, like Liam’s heart didn’t still twist at the words. “I remember being a teenager and watching the two of you fight together – back to back, not a single move out of place. Or how you two fought for each other. Sometimes, I thought you guys could literally read each other’s mind. That was the only way to explain how in sync you were, you know?”
(Liam thought of all the times he’d punched Theo when he’d really wanted to kiss him instead.) -

Summary
Liam has the worst luck when it comes to girls. Things just keep crashing and burning. Mason tries to convince him that maybe it’s time to come out, to date a guy instead, but his best friend won’t hear it. So he and Corey decide to find him the ultimate date, someone who’s exactly his type—snarky, tendency to punch people, and tough enough to put up with their volatile friend. Bad boy Theo Raeken is the perfect fit, despite his murky past and caustic personality. And the fact that he won’t do it for free. What could go wrong? // 10 Things I Hate About You AU.
