Summary
When General Thunderbolt Ross reappears, Bruce knows things are going to go from bad to worse. With all the changes that have happened since he joined the Avengers, it was only a matter of time before the cycle of cat and mouse they'd always played started up again. Only now, Bruce and the Hulk have an ace up their sleeves -- one Clint Barton.
This is the first part of a story arc called "The Broken Blade" and the 10th story in the Hulkeye series. This story is told from Bruce and the Big Guy's point of view. The second part of this series, "From the Ashes" will be told from Clint's POV. You can read this without reading the others, but some things will make more sense if you go back and start with "Know When to Hold 'Em."

Summary
"Unlike Combeferre, Enjolras had no idea why he was so unhappy. He attributed it to his occasionally poor health, or the state of the monarchy, or his rigorous studies, or the lingering illness of his mother. He sometimes cried at night and did not know why. He found any reason at all to explain his new lethargic melancholy but did not allow himself to consider that he, in the tradition of fourteen-year-old boys before him, was in love."
Pre-canon. Enjolras and Combeferre's friendship meets the wild, uncharted coast of pubescent longings.

Summary
Neither knew it was possible to miss someone you never even met. But when they found each other, it was like they were reunited after being separated for too long. Like the pieces were in place again. The rapid pace at which their relationship escalated made people wonder if it could even be real or if it was something that would fade as quickly as it came. But they had found their other half, their person.
They were like reflections of each other, constantly mirroring the other. If one wanted something, the other wanted it. If one wanted to try something, do something, believe something, so did the other. The differences that separated them became blurred and eventually dissolved completely. They were no longer themselves unless the other was right along side them sharing the same thoughts and experiences. The trust they developed that allowed them to work like this was astonishing. How could two people who were seemingly so independent in the beginning become so irrevocably dependent on the others desires? It had to be that they were in love.
But love can turn into an obsession. And they would reach the very ends of that obsession to see how far they could go before someone, or something had to break.

Summary
She senses that Dan is more than the perceived sum of his parts – more than a stab-you-in-the-back smile and a series of five-year plans and an industrial fucking vat of hair gel – and she keeps him close because it’d be a stupid move not to.
