Summary
She’d given him her eyes and her sadness and eight years of her time before the Duke Mitchell shaped hole in her chest bled her dry, soaking the bathroom tiles and Maverick’s white socks crimson when he’d found her.

Summary
Charlie had never quite worked out what about herself, the person she was becoming, her mother found so offensive. So unlovable.
She’d quickly stopped trying. Had moved her focus to more important things.
Because she soon realised she didn’t need to be loved when she could be respected.
Love was fickle, ephemeral, a delicate guessing game. But respect, that was absolute. If it wasn’t given willingly, it could be drawn from the reluctant depths, a forced acknowledgement of the objective truth. The truth that Charlie was too good to be ignored.

Summary
In the dark privacy of Ice’s room, the phone on the bedside table rang with all the considerate tact of a fry pan to the temple.
Ice jolted like he’d just acquainted himself intimately with a live wire, sheets tangling around his legs as he fumbled for the phone in a sleep scrambled panic. Propped up on one elbow, he nearly dropped it twice as he brought it to his ear, heart thumping viscerally in his chest above a stomach churning like the sea.
“Who. Why.” he demanded hazily, tongue heavy and uncoordinated, mind even more so.
“So when you said anytime, did you mean anytime?”

Three times Maverick needed his wingman.

Summary
She’d been angry when she saw him, livid, screaming cruelty as he ran back to his bedroom to hide beneath the covers. To hide from the monster his mother sometimes became. The only monster he still believed in. The only monster that had ever hurt him.
But it wasn’t always like that. Mostly, it was quiet. Still. Curtains drawn, bedroom dark.

Summary
They rolled up beside the stranger just as he was entering the spotlight glow of the next streetlight.
Or maybe not a stranger.
“Maverick?” The surprise in Sunny’s tone turned the word almost accusatory.
Maverick startled, like he hadn’t even heard them approach, which was concerning in and of itself. He whipped his head around to face them and Sunny’s stomach did something strange and unpleasant.

Sunny and Chipper come across Maverick on the roadside.

Summary
“I need to talk to you.” Ice’s voicemail from earlier that afternoon had been cryptic, but didn’t promise any danger. Come to think of it, Pete should have been expecting some sort of imminent, world-shifting news. Ice wouldn’t have dared leave a message like that in any other scenario. “Call me back when you can.”
Or, Pete Mitchell's navigation of a world where Tom Kazansky is dying.

Summary
He’s been staring at the door for twenty minutes, instinctively ducking down under the window every time he hears a shuffling noise inside. Phones keep ringing, and a gruff voice keeps answering them, the conversations muffled and short. November is just settling in and the chill in the air is biting this year, its sharp teeth sinking into Dean’s skin like a needle weaving stitches.
The wind curls up around him and he shivers. It’s getting to the point where a worn, thrift store jacket just doesn't cut it anymore. He sighs out through his nose, feels cold air refill it, and lifts a hand. His brittle fingers curl into a fist. He knocks.
When Bobby opens the door, he doesn’t quite manage to hide his surprise in time. Dean feels something sink low in his stomach.
“Dad didn’t tell you I was coming?” he asks, but it’s really more of a statement. A fear put into words.

Summary
The first time James Rhodes meets Tony Stark, Tony is a scrawny teenager, running across the lawn at campus, yelling curses, using a tea towel to try and trap a roomba-like contraption that is zigzagging wildly through the grass, until he trips over his own feet and faceplants. People laugh but Rhodey takes pity, so when the thing zooms towards him he lifts one foot and traps the robot underneath it. It beeps once and the wheels stop whirring.
Instead of thanking him, the teenager scrambles forward on hands and knees, glares up at him and says “well thanks you probably broke it, dumbass.”Bookmarked by TheJBomb

Summary
On a perfectly average Tuesday night – as far as any night can be called perfectly average anymore nowadays – the sky goes pitch black above Manhattan, a violent storm rattles the roofs, vivid blue and purple lightning bolts illuminate the clouds.
Once it is over, as suddenly as it began, news trickles in of difficult-to-explain phenomena occurring worldwide: The statue of liberty has changed color to a bright pink, an exact replica of the great wall of China has appeared across the Sahara desert, it rains feathers in Copenhagen for several hours, every single stapler on Sumba Island turns into a coat hanger, and Tony Stark wakes up from an impossible-to-wake-up-from coma.Bookmarked by TheJBomb
