Summary
Nate doesn’t bother to pray for strength. He already knows he’s got what he’s getting, and now God is just throwing shit at him to see how he deals with it.
(Or: Nate doesn't drop out of seminary. This changes things less than you'd expect.)

Summary
“I want to make something clear,” Peter says, softly. She slides her mask up, barely: just her mouth. His eyes slide to her lips and stay there. “Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean we’re in different playing fields. We’re in the same fucking playing field.”
“That won’t be an issue,” Deadpool says, shortly.
“That’s good,” Peter says. It feels like there’s a thread around her ribs, and with every word the thread goes taut, stretching.
“And,” She touches him, lightly, one finger on his cheekbone. “Don’t think you can relax around me.”
Deadpool breathes out a pained laugh. “When have I ever been able to fucking relax around you,” He says, and the thread snaps.
She can lift her eyes to the rooftops and picture two figures, grim sometimes, laughing, leaping through telephone lines, touching the horizon. The cursed symmetry of it all: a girl who cannot fall, a man who cannot die.

Summary
Tyler honestly thought it was cute that his then-girlfriend and now-wife believed in Santa Claus. He didn't expect to accidentally kill Santa nor did he expect his wife to be gleefully ready to take up everything that comes with his unexpected death.

Summary
Forty minutes into her book signing, Pepper’s hand is cramping up. Seeing herself perfunctorily smiling back at her from cover after cover after cover, is getting at her. It isn’t often that she wishes for someone to interrupt and insist on a photo. Or for one of these large, heavy bookcases to topple over and fall on top of her.
The next woman who shuffles up to her table, book clutched in her arms, might just be her selfie-saving-grace. She certainly has the wild-eyed look of starstruck-ness. Pepper smiles and holds out a hand to take the book from her.
The woman doesn’t relinquish it. “Ms. Stark,” she murmurs in a low voice. “My nephew Peter ran away. And I need the Avengers to find him.”
Pepper knows how to respond to requests like these. Kind but firm. Thirteen thousand people go missing in New York every year, and it’s heartbreaking, but the Avengers can’t possibly—
“Trust me,” the woman says. “You’ll want to hear me out.”Bookmarked by echidnaquills

Summary
Whitaker has never called out sick for any job he’s had. Not even at six years old with chicken pox, crying as he fed the chickens and Noah folded himself over the fence to tell him that he might as well try the feed too while he was at it since he was turning into a chicken himself. Not even his newspaper route at thirteen when the only things that held the jagged flesh of his thigh together were paper towels and an ace bandage. And none of the days leading into a full moon night where he feels like his skin is stretched too tight over his bones and any wrong move could split him apart at his seams and birth a monster onto the scuffed white floor of the ED.
Sometimes hearing everything means you hear nothing at all. Between the beeping and whirring and murmuring and shouting and rolling and squeaking and slamming, Whitaker could have thought once an emergency department might be hell on earth. But all that noise around him means he can’t hear any of the noise within him, and that is in itself a blessing.
[Or Whitaker's first full moon at the Pitt.]
