Summary
It felt like she was being torn apart. Blood rushed in her ears as her bones snapped and shifted, her skin stretching and pulling as her whole body broke and reformed. She’d never felt anything like this before.
When the pain finally stopped, she lay panting and shuddering against the freezing stone. Her nerves were still sparking and her heart felt like it was trying to burst from her chest.
In between pained breaths, she heard her voice, once comforting, now cold and sharp.
“Oh yes, I think she’s exactly what we were looking for. The perfect spy.”
~
When Galinda shows an affinity for shifting forms, her parents reach out to Madame Morrible to plead for help, not knowing that in doing so they were sealing their daughter’s fate.

Thrust into a strange new world at Shiz, tasked with learning all she can about Doctor Dillamond, Galinda is faced with a reality she wasn’t prepared for. All she knew to do was… just keep breathing.

Summary
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

Summary
There are many worlds, each one a reflection of the others. In some worlds, these beings may be known as the endless, undying and unyielding to time. In others they are just stories told by page picture, or screen. Not here though. Here we tell a tale of seven siblings, not immortal but not quite mortal, mages of their realm. Seven royal siblings, each with their own special magic, and all with a deep love of their family expressed in their own varying manner.

Summary
Tony Stark went missing after Civil War, but nobody cared enough to go searching for him, all believing that he just needed some time on his own to pout. Meanwhile he has been horribly experimented on, and transformed into something other than human.
When he escapes, he finds himself running into three children who seem to be just as lost as him, just as hunted, just as afraid. He remembers then, and he knows he has to protect them.
Now, Tony Stark, Cooper, Lila, and Nathaniel Barton must survive the dangers that surround and chase after them while they desperately try and find the loved ones they miss so much.

Summary
The picture changed again, and Pepper gasped sharply.
Tony Stark lay flat on his back.
The billionaire subsequently breathed in and blinked awake in a half startled grunt. Pepper and Happy watched in frozen shock as Tony watched the ceiling a moment before turning his head to the side. Then his head went back again, and he closed his eyes with a groan. The camera trailed over to the source of Tony’s displeasure. There at his side, still unconscious, was Captain Steve Rogers.
Or rather:
Several months after Civil War, a new threat presents itself, in which Tony, Steve, Peter, Sam, Wanda, Clint, Natasha, Bruce and Bucky are captured and thrown together on an Island that had been manufactured by Hydra. Trapped, The Avengers have no other choice but to rely on both their wits and one another as they brave the elements, face off against new foes eager to make a name for themselves, and of course, try and make their way home alive.
(So far, the only thing they can agree on is keeping spider kid from dying, which is a pretty low bar, but it’s a start.)
Oh, and they have no idea that their every move is being filmed and broadcasted live on national television.

Summary
Peter tries his door handle; it doesn't budge. The vents snap closed.
"FRIDAY?" he calls, tense.
Her response is stilted and garbled, but he gets the gist. There's an intruder, and there's an unknown gas that's been released in the air throughout the Tower floors - where the rest of the Avengers are.
Soon, allies will be turned enemies, and he'll be locked alone in a building with them all.

Summary
'Ordinary', was not exactly the word Tony would use to describe the avengers. Far from it. No, between norse gods, walking science miracles, assassins, and more, the Avengers were anything but ordinary, and the things they delt with certainly weren't either.
Still, it wasn't every day someone fell out of the sky.
In other words: Thanos is screwing up Space and Time with his search for the Infinity stones. Edward Elric (as always) gets caught up in the mess. Now he has to save Earth, and get back to Amestris in time to stop Father. Could this get any better? Yes.
Because the Aether is a Philosophers Stone.Great.

Summary
The revelation of a universe jumping portal finds Team Mustang visiting the English Wizarding World at the invitation of their Ministry during a time of unrest. Roy and his team are to advise their inefficient Ministry and gather information as Edward teaches the basics of Alchemy to unappreciative snot-nosed gremlins. But when Roy starts discovering information that the high-ups want to be left alone, he finds that this mission has become a whole lot more dangerous for him and his crew. Edward just wants to make it through the school year without bashing his head in due to stupid questions from students - and from the toad with a worse (and more pink) sense of style than him.
