Summary
Caring was not an advantage.
Being clever, being physically aware- in tune- with oneself. Full mastery of one's being.
These things were.
Sherlock had never considered himself naive. Bit rouge, maybe. Bohemian. A man set in a time where he felt just a bit out of pace. Science was his god and his lab his alter that he worshiped.

Summary
Tony was pretty sure that the small human left on his doorstep was just a (really fucking frightening) attempt at extortion, and mostly just wanted child protective services to show up yesterday. Then an extended trip to Afghanistan puts life, the universe and everything into perspective, and somehow, miraculously, Tony might be closer to happy than he's been in his life. He's even willing to accept the enormous pieces of the puzzle he's obviously missing. He should've learnt long ago that what you don't know will always come back to bite you in the ass.

Summary
It's a Wonderful Life AU in which Derek wishes he were never born, Stiles is angel who sets out to show him just how terrible that would be, and things turn out far better than anyone could've expected.
--
“Yeah,” he says, rolling his eyes. “You’re right, Stiles. Maybe it’d just be better if I was never born at all.”
“Hmm,” Stiles says. “Huh.” He starts talking to the ceiling again, and Derek’s seriously beginning to wonder if this guy escaped from Eichen. “You think that would work? Hmm. Yeah, I getcha. Alright.” He looks back at Derek. “You’ve got your wish.”
“What?”
“You’ve never been born."
“You’re crazy,” Derek huffs. “Absolutely out of your mind.”
“The jury’s still out on that one,” Stiles says, shrugging. “But I suggest you take a quick look in the mirror.”
Derek’s reluctant to look away from a potential hunter, but what he sees when he glances over is enough to make him full-on turn his back to the man. He staggers forward and grabs at the sink, using it to hold himself up.
His eyes are glowing gold.
Not red. Not even blue.
Gold.

Summary
The world is a dark, cruel and cold place.
The screams of the innocent go unheard, the sins of the tainted go unchecked. Everyone turning a blind eye and deaf ear to all the screams and deeds, what was the point if it wasn't happening to them? It wasn't their problem. The bystander effect ran supreme as did bliss.
She was just like the rest of the masses, not listening to the screams or paying all the taint any mind.
It made her death, her murder, all the more ironic.
She died drowning in her own red blood, choking on the screams that went ignored. Dying alone, abandoned. betrayed and forgotten, she welcomed the darkness and numbness as a mercy once she closed her eyes one last time.
She woke up to bright white light and giant hands pushing and pulling at her. It was when she was placed on something soft with a steady thump under it that she realized what had happened to her.
Reincarnation. Rebirth. She was given a second chance to make things right!
The world is a dark, cruel and cold place.
But she is going to make it more, make it so much better.
Jacklyn Spicer is going to force the world to change no matter what.
Let the war for the Shen Gong Wu begin. -
