Summary
Somewhere in the multiverse, Pepper saves the world and pays the price. Tony lies in a coma, not expected to survive, and a grieving Steve Rogers is named as Morgan's legal guardian:
“Hey, Cap. You should probably have a seat for this one.” On the video, Tony took another sip of coffee. “You’re going to want to kill me. But sadly for you, if you’re watching this, things have gone wrong for my little family. Pepper and I are dead already. Vegetables. Whatever. You’ll have to hash out your feelings of impotent rage vis à vis me with your support group. Anyway, let me cut to the chase here: I’ve named you Morgan’s legal guardian. I’ll give you a second to pick your jaw up off the floor.”
Steve sank slowly to the bathroom tiles; Tony was right. He did need to sit down for this one.
“You over it? Good. Look, I should’ve asked you; Pepper thinks I did. And you know, I thought about it, but if I’d asked you, you might have said ‘no,’ and I couldn’t let you say ‘no,’ Cap. I just couldn’t. Pep and I don’t have a deep bench, okay? Our folks are dead, and when you’ve got no family, your options are limited. But you know that. And that is yet another reason I picked you.”

Summary
When Steve Rogers loses everything—his apartment, his job, and the five thousand dollars his cheating ex drains from their joint account—he finds a Stark Industries badge in a grocery store parking lot.
Hungry and desperate, he takes a risk.
The badge gets him through the doors.
The cafeteria feeds employees for free.
And Conference Room E4?
Apparently no one ever uses it.For three months Steve survives quietly inside Stark Industries—working on his portfolio during the day, eating with employees at night, and sleeping on a leather couch no one notices.
Until security finally catches him.
But instead of throwing him out, Tony Stark does something unexpected.
He hires him.
What follows is months of creative breakthroughs, BLT deliveries, late-night soup in the cafeteria, and a CEO who starts realizing the quiet designer who once slept in his building might be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Summary
Hua Cheng crouches down in front of the jam selection and is lost in thought, until a soft touch against his thigh startles him. There’s a small, pudgy hand clutching at his pants.
“Hello?” Hua Cheng looks at the small, curly child and can’t suppress a smile.
“Noods.” The kid says, voice quiet but sure.
“Okay.” Hua Cheng lets out a laugh.
Or,
Xie Lian has three kids, two jobs and not a minute to spare.
Hua Cheng has no kids, lots of time and a crush.

Summary
They lay together on the couch, the house strangely quiet. Wriothesley watches his thumb moving back and forth over Neuvillette’s body. Remembers the way his hands disappeared in the bathwater. He wants to think it was just a weird trick of the light, but Wriothesley isn’t in the habit of lying to himself.
Maybe there’s something wrong with him. Maybe Neuvillette’s gift of humanity is unraveling somehow. That’s terrifying. It would mean humanity was conditional or limited by time. Or that something can undo that gift. Something? Maybe someone.
When Wriothesley begins experiencing strange changes, he and Neuvillette must investigate the cause or risk losing each other forever.

Summary
Neuvillette knows little of what it means to be a dragon; he has spent his entire life among the people of Fontaine. Everything he does know about dragons, he has uncovered himself through trial and error and the occasional bit of obscure research. But this, at least, he recognizes.
Mating instincts.
By protecting him, the duke is behaving like a dragon seeking a mate, and that has triggered Neuvillette’s own instincts to judge the duke’s adequacy.
When Wriothesley begins acting like a dragon courting his mate, Neuvillette finds himself torn between duty and desire.
