Summary
NOT ABANDONED THIS FIC WILL BE COMPLETED IF IT KILLS ME!
(In which the NSA forces Simon to marry Jack in order to keep an eye on him.)
After the supers ban was made official, the NSA had their work cut out for them, engineering new, normal lives for those once believed to be gods. Day after day, supers were reduced to a single file, liabilities to be “dealt with.”
The nightmare was almost over, with only one man left to deal with—Jackson Hart, better known as Gamma Jack.
No female supers fit the mold well enough to be assigned to play house with Jack, and even if they could withstand his toxic abilities (and personality), it would just be plain cruel to subject any woman to a life married to the guy.
Fortunately, there was one person who fit the profile the NSA was looking for: immune to the light spectrum, and by proxy, Jack. Strong enough to hold their own. The one person who wasn’t afraid of him. Unfortunately for Jack, that person happened to be a man.
Gazerbeam, AKA Simon Paladino

Summary
(Basically Makoto finds Kenji at a bar three years after disappearing, and Kenji's too drunk to realize how insane of a coincidence it is that he's just met a guy with the same body, face and personality as his long-dead best friend/"unrequited" love.)
Three years after sacrificing himself for the world, Makoto is freed from the Great Seal. After being brought back to life, all he wants is to reunite with his best friend—and the person he loved most—Kenji Tomochika.
Unfortunately, to the rest of the world, Makoto Yuki died tragically at seventeen, and he's not coming back. When given a new identity—Minato Arisato—Makoto makes his way to the city to reunite with Kenji, even if their reunion is as strangers instead of best friends.

Summary
Inspired by @oopsyouthought's Superiority Complex, but is not related to the canon of that story. Made with their permission.
It’s a known scientific phenomenon that large outputs of radiation in short periods of time can create an aurora where one wouldn’t naturally occur. Often, after a warhead detonates, the sky is beautiful.
The night Jack died to the Omnidroid was no different.
(Alternatively: Mirage sees the most beautiful sky over Nomanisan after sending Jack to his death. She usually wouldn’t have cared—but this time she’s cursed with knowledge of Jack’s late husband, Simon, and teenage daughter, Novea.)

Summary
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.

Summary
He comes in with a handkerchief pulled over his face and shoves a gun in Pete’s direction.
“Open the register,” he says while the gas station bell is still ringing his entrance. Very impressive, Pete thinks. It’s nice to know people still have a sense of urgency around here.
or, Pete gets held up.

Summary
#47, Pete McVries, has a girl back home. It takes a while to get him to open up about it, he’s cagey about his home life, the tinfoil wrapped package of cookies in his pack, and the photograph he keeps folded into quarters and tucked into his shirt pocket. Almost everyone’s tried to get a peek at it over his shoulder at one point or another, and Olson even gets a warning for interference when he tries to snatch it from his hands.
“C’mon,” Olson whines. “Why don’t you want us to see her? She ugly or something?”
“Prettiest thing you’ve ever seen.” McVries is finally coaxed into saying. “Big brown eyes, red hair, soft all over.”

Summary
“Aw man,” Pete said breathlessly, drawing back. He was leaning up on one elbow; their faces were inches apart. “Where’ve you been this whole time?”
The bravery he’d felt so briefly before suddenly ignited, blossoming under Pete’s gentle gaze and soft touches.
“Waiting for you, I reckon.” Replied Ray.
Ray meets Pete in a bar the night before the dropout deadline.
