    Summary

    "So… what is this?" Deadpool asks faux-brightly, even though he looks like he might lose it.

    Peter takes a deep breath, willing his voice not to crack. "It's, um. Hot water with salt and oregano so I can trick myself into thinking it's soup."

    (It starts with food. As with most things regarding Deadpool, it hardly ends there.)

    Summary

    Draco seeks out the help of a detective who is known for his discretion. Despite rocky introductions, Draco and the detective, Harry Potter, become friends as Draco is forced to share very personal information that reveals more about himself than he would have ever admitted to under any other circumstance. Fortunately, Harry is not only understanding of Draco's sexual preferences but encourages him to keep doing what he loves--perhaps with Harry himself.

    Summary

    “You’re sweet, Harrington,” Eddie says like it’s an insult, even though his expression is soft around all the edges.

    Steve bites back the question of how long Eddie will be able to tolerate it, that sickly sweetness that clings just a little too much, that wants too much, and smothers everyone it comes into contact with. It’s a self detrimental, consuming train of thought that only spirals downward, and now’s not the time.

    Now is the time to take the face in his hands and treat it like something precious, something to be appreciated and touched with tenderness, because for the first time ever, he thinks, there is someone who probably could use some of his overbearing affection.

    Summary

    Steve hasn’t cried in a really long time. It always made him feel like shit, especially if someone else was there to witness it, but for some reason it feels incredible right now. Even with poor Robin, who seems utterly lost but is still rubbing circles on his back because she’s just that good, there to witness it. It feels amazing and Mister Rogers must be proud of him for allowing it because he’s singing in the background.

    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.
