    Summary

    Clint is only a couple of sips into his cardboard cup of coffee, his brain barely out of neutral, which is probably why it takes him so long to realize that some damn psycho is trying to kidnap his dog.

    Excerpt:

    “I’m not some charity case,” Bucky says pugnaciously.

    “I didn’t think you were,” Clint answers back readily enough. “I mean, I can tell you’re fucked up for sure, but of the two of us, I’m probably the bigger disaster. My sleep schedule is shit, and I drink coffee straight from the pot. I sing in the shower even though I’m deaf as fuck. I have arrows everywhere because I’m an archer — did I tell you that? And I was raised in a literal circus, so I’m not exactly domestic. Let’s see, what else?” He squints down at the ground, rubbing the back of his neck. “Oh, yeah, I won the building in a poker game with the Russian mafia and every once in awhile they show up and try to take it back, but usually I handle it, no problem. Uh...”

    Clint happens to looks up and Bucky’s eyes are wide, his mouth hanging open. Clint’s hand freezes where he’s rubbing the back of his neck, suddenly embarrassed. Yeah, when you put it all out there at once, it doesn’t sound so good.

    Summary

    The Avengers think he's traumatised, Fury thinks he needs a break, Natasha wants him to recover. Well, screw those guys. Clint is going to go and make some new friends that appreciate how badass and competent and not-messed-up-after-Loki he is.

    It goes great, until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Our Father.

    “Matt? Do you go by Matt?”

    Who art in Heaven.

    “I don’t like that. Someone said your middle name is Michael.”

    Hallowed be thy name.

    “I think I’m gonna call you Mike. Hi, Mike.”

    Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done.

    “Hey, Mike, I heard you’ve been bad already. You only just got here, Mike. I can’t have you being like that so soon.”

    On earth, as it is in heaven.

    (Matt gets kidnapped right under Wade and Peter's noses. Peter's hurt, so Wade ends up with a slightly different team as he goes out to try to bring him home. They test him in every way possible.)

    Summary

    When a field trip to Stark Industries ends in disaster, Roger Harrington finds himself faced with an impossible choice. Suddenly, Tony Stark is shoving an NDA in his face while Peter Parker stares at him with terrified, desperate eyes. Nothing in his 13-year teaching career could have prepared Harrington for this, but he knows one thing for sure: ten years ago, he'd stared down into the sightless eyes of a seventeen-year-old girl, and he'd sworn to himself that he would never again lose another student. He's going to do everything in his power to keep that promise now…even if it costs him everything.

    Set during and post Spider-Man Homecoming. A realistic field trip story that also explores the long-term consequences of trauma and responsibility, written by a real-life teacher.

    Summary

    Like impressionistic paintings, he says helpfully, offers the metaphor like a prayer, something familiar they might grab hold of.

    So you can see, they say, and Matt sighs.

    And people say autistics take things too literally.
