Summary
It's better to be submissive if you're a Beta. It's better to be underwhelmed by the idea of sex if you're a Beta. It's better to have no idea if you even understand attraction or love or anything else in the first place if you're a Beta. Unfortunately for Misha, no amount of wanting to be normal can change the inconveniently obvious facts of his life: he's an Omega, his girlfriend is an Alpha, and the only word he knows for himself is, "freak."
In which high school sucks, first heat cycles really suck, and possibly being kinky without being attracted to anyone or especially into the idea of sex? Really, really sucks.

Summary
Two huge things happen during the lead-up to Misha's freshman year at Singer. Firstly, he and Vicki break up. …They're still best friends, and they're both going west for school, but it really doesn't seem right for them to stay bound to each other. Not when they'll be in different states. Not when they want different things out of a relationship. Breaking up makes sense. It's almost perfunctory.
Secondly, Misha meets one, Matt Bomer.

This story takes place shortly after The Avengers, when the teammates have recently moved into the tower and are still hiding from each other prior to the advent of game night in "Love Is for Children." It features a scene referenced in a couple of places, where Bruce Hulked out and smashed half the common kitchen. But there's more to the story than the rest of them know ...

Summary
Several of the Avengers visit SHIELD for a variety of professional and personal reasons. It helps to have friends at your side while facing challenges.
(I marked "Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings" this time, because there is some graphic violence and nonconsensual activity, but most of it happened in the past instead of during the current story. See tags for details.)

Summary
In Paragon of Animals, former Psi Cop Byron Gordon stands up to Garibaldi:
"Do you know what a telepath has to do in order to avoid picking up stray thoughts? We have to kick down our natural abilities. Run rhymes and little songs through our heads, round and round. All that to keep from picking up what you're broadcasting loud enough to be heard halfway down the hall. ... Mundanes want us to fill our heads with noise and babble so we won't hear what you're shouting at the top of your minds."
To be a telepath in the mundane world is like living in the never-ending hell of Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, sometimes with physically dangerous consequences. Bester finds this out the first time he leaves Academy grounds.
After all, as it says in Deadly Relations, p. 58, when Al is attacked by a normal for the second time in two days, and this time decides to fight back: "Al came to the painful decision that he would have to break a regulation. He probably had already - [telepathically] pushing a normal, even in self-defense."
