Casing You(rself): (Un)Characteristic
Fics in which an author has deliberately chosen to make a character act (at least somewhat) OOC (or, occasionally, more in character, thanks to bad writing/directing/executive decisions)
Often to highlight something about them as a character, &/or those around them)
(Occasionally simply in response to changed circumstances)
Some fics in which characters simply make (significantly) different choices to those made in canon,
Or which focus on character growth.
: ... is not a doormat (e.g. Tony/Izuku stands up for himself)
: ... makes a kinder choice (e.g. Talia takes Jason home)
: ... makes(/continues) a bad choice (e.g. Chim post-punch)
(Closed, Moderated)

Summary
This is a bit Alternate Universe – based on the idea that Michael suffered a lot of trauma over his time as Michael Knight, and Bonnie and Devon didn't always seem to acknowledge that. What if Kitt was the only one to notice his human needed more than a job and a new face, and stepped up to give it to him?

Summary
After Ultron, Tony Stark says, “No.”
Word Count: ~19,200
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, Mild discussions of: murder, torture, mind rape, and hate crimes.
Author Note: Not for fans of Wanda Maximoff. I hated how there were no consequences for her after AoU. I’m also not thrilled with Steve and Natasha’s canon behavior, especially in this movie and later. So, they don’t come off all that great in this. Also, I took some liberties with the Ancient’s One’s abilities.- Bookmarks:

Bookmarker's Notes
(I read a lot of Wanda criticism, & for some reason it never occurred to me until reading this fic, during the first scene with Fury, that Wanda's recruitment makes even less sense given that AoU comes after the CAtWS data dump; i.e.: where we found out what a bad idea recruiting ex-Hydra members was the last time someone tried it...)

Summary
“Buck, that’s not fair -”
“It’s plenty fair! I am not a child! I do not need to be coddled or made fun of like I was the class clown! I am not your fucking golden retriever that you can just pat on the head and send off with a treat. All I wanted was to be talked to. To have someone to just listen and let me listen in turn but all of you –” He twirled on his heel and almost toppled over. “- pushed me away, told me I was too much. That I was exhausting.”
Weeks have gone by and life is returning to normal for everyone but Buck. As much as he tries, he can't move on. And then one day, all it takes is just one off handed comment to send him right over the edge. He's had enough of this shit and he's gonna let everyone know just that.
