Summary
Phil Coulson thought he’d handled Loki well; he’d gotten Clint released from his sway and learned about Stark’s manipulation of Banner early enough to prevent a catastrophe. But he should have known better. Loki’s games are rarely that simple or that easy.
Phil wakes to find himself still a pawn in a game where the high stakes have been raised even higher. Clint is gone and a mysterious force working behind the scenes at SHIELD places the Avengers and good agents everywhere in great danger. With his usual allies out of the picture, Phil finds himself fighting alone until a subtle hand helps him change the game. Can Phil save the day when the odds are stacked so heavily against him?
(Part of a series, plot draws from previous two works in that series)Series

Summary
In the aftermath of Nemesis, Natasha Romanov is left to pick up other people's pieces. That's not surprising to her - she's been doing that since she was a child. She's always been a pawn in other people's games.
She finds herself babysitting a fugitive Banner at Coulson's request, an annoying and difficult task her busy schedule doesn't make any easier. Still, she comes to realize they have more in common than she'd realized. Slowly and grudgingly, she finds herself changing her attitude towards Banner as he proves to be someone she can trust and respect. Perhaps even come to love.
This is somewhat of a standalone tale, but comes as the result of other stories. I've written a 'previously on' style note summing up key events for anyone who would like to read this as a standalone, or start the series at this point.

Summary
Following the events of Nemesis, the Avengers (save for Thor) have begun building lives in Stark's private research town, Pottsville. But even in suburbia, their lives are not quiet. Stark has a lot to prove to the team and doing so will come at some expense... especially once Loki appears to spark chaos.
(Builds off of previous works in the series, but a 'previously on' style note is provided if you want to pick up here.)
