Summary
Sue Storm attends a physics symposium for extra credit and accidentally develops a life-changing problem: Reed Richards.
Reed is awkward, obsessive, terrible at small talk, and completely uninterested in most people around him. Sue should probably move on with her life.
Instead, she decides to flirt with him until he figures out she’s serious.
Unfortunately for Reed, Sue is patient. And persistent. And somehow keeps becoming part of every section of his day before he even notices it happening.
Or:
A college AU where Sue falls first, Reed falls harder, and both of them spend several months being emotionally obvious to everyone except Reed.

Summary
Reed Richards, backed by Stark Industries, is preparing to lead humanity’s first deep-space mission. His crew includes his closest friend and designated pilot, Ben Grimm; his former academic rival, Victor von Doom; accomplished policy advisor Sue Storm; and her younger brother, Johnny Storm, currently interning at Stark Industries.
Tensions are already high—especially with Doom involved—but things take an unexpected turn before launch. Doom corners Sue, using their unresolved past to pressure and unsettle her in front of the crew. Backed into a corner and unwilling to let him exert control, Sue deflects by pointing at Reed and coolly announcing that they’re in a relationship.
Reed, blindsided but ever the problem-solver, silently goes along with it. Their “relationship” starts as nothing more than a social defense mechanism—a necessary lie spoken in orbit of a much bigger mission.
But now they’re about to live and work in close quarters thousands of miles above Earth—navigating old rivalries, new discoveries, and a fake romance that begins to feel more like gravity than fiction.

Summary
Sue declares a No-Tech Sunday. No labs. No devices. Just pancakes made by hand.
Reed is unprepared for the one variable he cannot measure: instinct.
While flour covers the counter, Johnny tells dramatic stories, Ben critiques texture, and the kids “help” with catastrophic enthusiasm, Reed learns how to flip a pancake without a timer and how to sit at a table without calculating the end of the universe.
It turns out surrendering control is harder than saving the world.
And somehow, much softer.

Summary
Javier Peña found himself broken down, in more ways than one, in a little Texas town between San Antonio and Laredo on his way back from his retirement 'party'. Directionless, sleep deprived and haunted by guilt, he's no longer sure if the woman standing on the other side of the roadhouse bar is real, or just another ghost. One who haunted his dreams, one who he regretted more than most. His ambition and determination to hunt down the cartels had wounded her irreparably, and now she'd returned to haunt him.
Helena Sotomayor has worked hard since she left Columbia to carve out a life for her and her daughter. After 15 years of hard work she's managed to heal enough, make enough and do enough that she's almost where she wants to be in life. Her days as a high-end prostitute in Columbia long behind her. Until one night at her second job, she sees the man who helped her escape that life. She nearly doesn't believe it, he seems nothing like the brash young agent she once knew, full of life and swagger, now sad and defeated.
Perhaps not all ghosts are bad. Or perhaps somethings are better left in the past.
Comments encouraged. Warning for references to prior SA. Completed.
