BAMF Without Bashing
Logic is sexy, even in a fictional setting. BAMFs are sexy, no matter where they are.
This collection is dedicated to the fantastic fiction that combines Logic and BAMF to negate the annoyances that plague Bash-prolific stories. I like a good Face-slapping, but not when the antagonist could get punched through a wall and still not understand why it's happening. So, this is for the self-aware characters that know when and where to slap, and for the self-aware antagonists that know when and where they're being slapped.
Nothing is more satisfying.

Summary
Gibbs has two files in his head marked "DiNozzo" and "Trouble." Most problems involving his SFA end up in the file labeled "DiNozzo— Hilarious Trouble." This problem, however, is looking like it's going to end up in the other file, the one labeled "DiNozzo— Serious Trouble."
When a phone call from Philadelphia causes Tony to begin acting oddly, Gibbs suspects that something is wrong. His suspicions are confirmed when a Sentinel and Guide pair from the Philadelphia S & G Center show up at NCIS asking for Guide DiNozzo. Uncertain what his SFA has gotten himself into, Gibbs calls in the big guns: the former Judge Advocate General and the current Alpha Sentinel of D.C., A.J. Chegwidden, and his guide, Captain Harmon Rabb.

Summary
It took Tony a shield to the chest (again), being left heavily injured without any way home in an abandoned Hydra Bunker in fuck-knows-where, Siberia, and some pain-and-cold induced introspection to finally come into the best conclusion:
You want to do something right? Do it your fucking self.
A.K.A. How the entirety of Infinity War can be avoided if Tony would just get his head on the game instead of moping over some stray teammates.

Summary
James longed to pull her away, take her up to the penthouse and touch.
Winter just wanted to hog Tony, steal her away from friendly company and keep her safe.
He couldn't trust anyone in the tower, not even a trained spider, with what he'd found. The person who forgave, who smiled, who welcomed and showed love with body when words were not enough.

Summary
The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.
Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?
Or,
In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.
...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.
[gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

Summary
Everyone loves a good fantasy world to escape into. Hell, why else is the “Isekai” business a multimillion dollar industry? Because of the amazing harem waifus? Nay!
A good fantasy world is full of unique settings, new people, and strange cultures. Escapism only works when the problems of this new world are completely unfamiliar to the struggles of our own shitty reality!
Camp Jupiter is all of these things! It has the Ancient Roman equivalent of those pilgrim village cosplayers, an army full of child soldiers, and a strange hybrid culture of modern America and Ancient Rome!
(There’s darkness hiding underneath the shadow of Rome’s relics. You can see them if you look a little too hard into the alleyways, question the leadership’s strange behavior one too many times. New Rome is a gilded cage, and we’re songbirds singing for our masters’ pleasure. Who can we call for help? The gods? The ones which have abandoned us here? We’re alone. No one is coming.)
So come escape from the monsters with me (only to be caught by more human-looking beasts). This is the land of Rome’s greatness, where we know not of evil. All is well here, as you can see. (Help us- Father, please- Somebody!)
