    Summary

    "Dear Miss Summers,

    Thank you for your application to the Littleroot Young Champions' Initiative. Eager new trainers like yourself are what make the future of Hoenn bright! Regrettably, our supply of starter Pokémon is limited, and so only a handful of applicants can be selected for this program. Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three…"

    A dull ringing rose in her ears. She scanned and re-scanned the last sentence, as though staring at it would make it change, but it still said the same thing: "Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three starter Pokémon."

    Well, there it was, the answer spelled out in black and white. She wasn't good enough, and that was that.

    ---

    Hayley Summers is determined to become a champion. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokémon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of ecoterrorists as her personal adversaries, but—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that two people, who have only had a single meeting, must evidently be associated somehow. Of course, this universally acknowledged truth is founded on the public's audacious and insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing. But, this still is, in fact, a universally acknowledged truth.

    Summary

    “Is that what you really think?” There’s less bite to her words than what she would’ve wanted but Rin suddenly feels the anger bleed out of her all at once like an open wound. “That I’m not afraid every time I’m out there?”

    Flying was my escape, she wants to say but doesn’t. That had sounded like what you’d tell someone when you let them in, so she settles for something else. “Flying’s the only time I don’t think about dying.”

    “Funny,” he says, and maybe it really isn’t that funny at all because there’s gravity in his voice and in the space between them; she feels the force that must've kept them in orbit the same way tides have always turned towards the moon. Rin takes a chance when she reaches out and places her hand at the crook of his neck, spreading her palm against the hollow of his throat. Nezha swallows and Rin trails her fingers up until she reaches his lips.

    “I think about it all the time,” he confesses. His voice is low, the sound muffled in the palm of her hand where it cups his jaw. “And then,” Nezha continues, mouthing the words against her skin, “I think about you.”

    Rin learns that there’s more to flying than fighting.
