Inspired by Downton Abbey and other BBC dramas. In which Charles is a Lord and Erik a factory worker (and then soldier) and they both very much need to be loved. Set over several years, with gaps.

Summary
Tony and Steve decide they’re ready to have a baby. But neither Pepper or Natasha are willing to act as a surrogate and adoption agencies are denying them because of their “dangerous lifestyle” as superheroes. The solution? Take some genetic material from the both of them and grow a “test tube baby”. The problem? Super Soldier Serum and cyberpathic linkage are hereditary, causing the baby to grow at an extraordinarily fast pace and be born with the abilities of both her fathers combined. Nothing the Avengers can't handle, right? Sure, you go ahead and tell yourselves that.

Summary
Water wears at all things; erosion is as unstoppable a force as the cycles of the tide. A cliff becomes a canyon; the sharpness of a broken shard of glass can be made soft enough to hold, though still rough across each surface.
Five times Javert looked down, and one time that he looked up.

Summary
Resolution in character; inspired by the characters' choices and motivations as written for the screen. In transforming (pun intended) and refining GoLion into Lion Voltron the writers created a children's show at once written in the broadest of strokes, with touches of great subtlety.
A very familiar scenario provides the structure for a story of love and of outer and inner conflicts left unresolved at original Lion Voltron's end (including the events of Fleet of Doom)-most notably those of Prince Lotor, Voltron's greatest character.
Voltron always had and still has the potential to be something truly great, if there were confidence enough in the unexplored possibilities of the original show.

Summary
One hour, three days, nineteen years; it is hard not to count the nights under the weight of all that time. Valjean numbers the evenings and retreats with every sunrise; neither of them see half so clearly in direct light.
After rescuing Javert from the Seine, Valjean finds that understanding is still slow to come. There is more to a man than is contained in the physical; there is more to language than speech.
