    Summary

    They are an odd match to be drift compatible — the man as tall and broad-shouldered as the woman is small and slender.

    “Interesting,” Steve says. “They could almost pass for —” He stops, the forkful of macaroni arrested halfway to his mouth. “Holy geez,” he says reverently. “That’s —”

    “Lucky Striker,” Bucky finishes. “Sonuvabitch!”

    Romanoff and Barton. They’re legends, the very first team to establish a neural handshake once Stark nearly blew out his heart trying to pilot a jaeger alone and realized it only works with a shared neural and physical load.

    They have more kills than any other team out there. Hong Kong, Vladivostok, Lima — Lucky Striker has held the line in almost every ‘dome on the rim. Steve and Bucky have pored over the footage of every single one of their kills, marveling at the way their jaeger moves. Fluid, seamless, graceful. And most of all, of course, deadly.

    “Think they’re just visiting or they’re here to fight?” Steve asks.

    “Either way, we’ll probably at least get to see them in the kwoon,” Riley drawls. “Whaddaya think they’ll use? Staffs? Nunchaku? Or just hand-to-hand?”

    “Whatever it is, it’s gonna be fuckin’ beautiful,” Bucky says.

    Summary

    “No, seriously, I need to talk to you really quick,” Stiles interrupts. “Before Peter gets out here.”

    Derek braces himself. “Okay.”

    “I need you to make sure I can be alone with the body for a few minutes.”

    Derek stares at him. “You get that that’s like…a really weird request, right?”

     

    In the three months since Derek left the NYPD and joined the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, he’s gotten used to a lot of things: he’s learned to deal with seeing Peter every day, he knows how to hide his enhanced senses on the job, and he doesn’t mind the late nights and early mornings.

    One thing he’s still not used to, however, is Stiles Stilinski.

    Summary

    Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.

    His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.

    Summary

    “Need medical, Steve. Target’s been shot.” He’s into Clint’s space at an unnatural speed, crunching on the broken glass. Or maybe time slips again. He immediately applies firm, agonising pressure to Clint’s side. Clint’s vision goes white, then black.

    He misses the Circus lights. How can he finish the show when it’s so dark?

    The stranger pauses to listen to a hidden earpiece. “Yeah. No. Faster. Guy’s more glass than ass, here.” Brooklyn accent.

    “Actually,” Clint wheezes, “Most of it’s…” he draws in a shallow breath, “in my head.”

    (Clint's a small-time crook, the Avengers operate in secret, and something is eating teenagers in Manhattan.) [This fic is NOT abandoned, but on hiatus due to RL issues. I'm still too attached to it not to finish it eventually!]
