Summary
Telemachus swallowed dryly, catching Antinous’ eyes momentarily dropping to his throat. “Are you threatening me?”
“Not at all,” Antinous said, his smile reminding Telemachus that it was a stupid, stupid, idea to try and manipulate him, to give him so much as a finger, but the ship had left the harbour and there was no turning back. He needed the protection only Antinous was in a position to offer. “I could tell them off. For a… price, naturally.”
(Or: Telemachus manipulates Antinous into making a deal and must reap the consequences as he struggles to remain in control against someone who has plenty of tricks of his own.)

Summary
“‘Night, Tiger!”
“Night!” Kagami called over his shoulder.
“Good game, man!” one of his teammates hollered after him.
“Thanks,” Kagami said, remembering at the last minute to add, “You too!”
It wasn’t until he got home that he let his shoulders slump. Good game. He tossed his jacket across the back of the couch and wandered into the kitchen, looking for something in the fridge. What, he didn’t know.
So he stood there with the fridge door open, looking for whatever he didn’t know he wanted.
He stared, wanting something to eat or drink but not hungry or thirsty. Something, anything to make him feel less…empty.
Good game.
So why doesn’t it feel like it?
His phone buzzed insistently in his pocket, startling him out of his stupor. For a split second, his heart was in his throat and he checked the screen a little too hopefully—Aomi—?
Tatsuya.
Playing in the NBA with one championship already under his belt, Kagami has everything he's ever wanted.
Except for one thing.Series

Summary
After spending years under HYDRA's control, the last thing Bucky wants is to return to their ranks. He does so only because his situation provides an invaluable opportunity to infiltrate the most impenetrable army in the galaxy — his own discomfort is a small price to pay for the lives he might save in the future.
Three months is all he can take before he decides to throw his cover and find his way back to Steve, HYDRA hot on his heels. With him, Bucky has a memory drive of stolen information and a second personality sharing his body, courtesy of HYDRA’s brainwashing.
All Bucky wants is to deliver the information to Steve and the Alliance and finally return home, but when his ship is damaged he has no choice but to stop for emergency repairs. He's directed to 'The Mechanic,' who can supposedly help, but Bucky isn't exactly comforted when he meets the man in question.
But, with HYDRA breathing down his neck, Bucky doesn't have a choice — he's going to have to trust this Tony, whether he likes it or not.

Summary
When Tony tried to urge the homeless guy sleeping on the steps of the Tower’s loading dock to move, he never expected that he'd found Hydra’s pet assassin—James "Bucky" Barnes.
Now, after months of keeping his presence a secret from the Avengers and helping Barnes learn to cope with both his returning memories and the modern world, Hydra is back for their favorite toy and Tony must call in old friends to save the life of the man he just might have come to care for a little too much.

It feels as though processing is all he does these days. That and defending himself against claims that he shouldn't be carrying the shield, mostly coming from himself.

Summary
Starting at the end of "Iron Man 2" and running slightly AU-ish from there: a (long) look at how things might have been different for Tony if he'd let Pepper walk away at the end of IM2, how the world just seems to hate Tony sometimes, and how Loki figures into the whole picture.
(Or: On beginnings and endings, broken things, missing pieces, and how sometimes it's impossible to patch your life back together in the same shape it was before you started falling apart. On how it's not only what we choose, but also what we don't choose that defines who we are.)
Reposted.
