    Summary

    In 2018, on Earth-199999, Thanos gathered all the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers. Half of the Universe was promptly dusted, and a third was further killed as a direct consequence of the dusting. Weeks later, Thanos used the Infinity Stones once more and destroyed them - thus destroying the Universe itself.

    Stephen Strange saw this, but there was no way to save them or the Universe, no time.

    And then the Infinity Stones themselves gave him time. Gave him a second chance to save another Universe, their sister Earth: Earth-200207.

    A quest that takes place across space and time, within souls and minds, with power and reality. A bet that could save trillions of people or could condemn them to a future worse than he one of Earth-199999. A game of chess against the butterfly effect, with one single starting player:

    Earth's Best Defender.

    Summary

    “For someone who claims not to like thinking,” Edwin says, raising an eyebrow, “you do a remarkably good job of it.”

    Charles laughs. “Tell that to my old teachers, mate.”

    “If they disagree, then they can’t be very qualified.” Edwin says this simply, like it’s just a fact of life. Like it’s plainly obvious that if anyone thinks Charles is stupid, it’s they who are at fault.

    Or: Charles grew up poor and is likely to stay that away, his job at the magic store notwithstanding. By the time he meets Edwin, he's decided that he wants a new life. In between figuring out what's up with the mysterious wish-granting pigeons, and whether he can go to the Royal Ball, Edwin makes him want to take a chance on being happy as well.

    Summary

    The Brownstone stirs for the first time since its original owners built it on an ordinary Tuesday in October. The last sigh of summer air follows the realtor into its entryway, desperate to escape the chill of an autumn breeze right behind it.

    The buyer has an intriguing mix of seldom-used authority and a dark shadow of grief at the foundation of his soul, but also love – so much love. It swirls around him in long ribbons, as though the shining tendrils refuse to go further than arm’s reach for fear they’d get left behind. It hasn’t seen love stream so loyally, so stubbornly, behind a human in its own many years of caring for its humans. That must have been what woke The Brownstone.

    Magic calls to magic, after all.

    Summary

    “Does this story have a point?” Eddie questioned, Lena narrowing her eyes at him.

    “This guy, my sort of friend—what if he could watch Chris for you?”

    Eddie furrowed his brows together. “You want me to leave my kid who’s halfway across the country with some—stranger?

    “It beats having him sent home to your parents, right?”

    Well, she had a point there.

    Eddie shook his head, overwhelmed with his thoughts.

    “Look, I appreciate it Bosko, but I just—I don’t know. This is my kid we’re talking about.”

    “I know that, and I know how much you love him. Hell, you’ve sent me ten plus emails when I was watching him for you.”

    Eddie looked to where there was a line coming out of their commanders office. He turned to Lena, giving his full attention.

    “Alright, tell me about this friend of yours.”

    —or—

    The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.
