Bonus Time(s)?: Non-sequences
(Mostly short (series of) fics exploring various potential consequences for canon events/actions;
:What-if scenarios, rather than proper divergence
:Unseen moments, that could plausibly have happened between/alongside what was known/shown to have occurred
:Actions have consequences (either short-term, or liable to affect the characters, but not the (wider) plot)
:(Occasionally major consequences that would derail the entire plot/world; e.g. major character death)
:Consequences come to light (some time) after the fact - either canon compliant, or somewhat vague canon relevance (but not actively contradictory)
(Closed, Moderated)

Thanos didn't expect this, but when you have an infinite list of time lines to choose from, you'd be surprised what past enemies can confront you.

What If by Kizmet

Summary
Someone has unleashed a horde of good (er-possibly OVER) communication fairies on the MCU. Pepper’s convinced that someone’s dosing Tony’s shot glass with a revolutionary new truth serum (because Sodium Pentothal would only make him babble more than he already does). And Steve doesn’t know what happened but even before the serum people were suddenly talking to him (not that he likes what they’re saying but it’s better than being summarily dismissed).
However the Powers that Be are NOT going to stand for this. If they have to drop an asteroid on Nick Fury’s dog to keep the plot on track THEY WILL DO IT (They’re not sure how the asteroid will help, but gosh-darn, they’re willing)! Whatever it takes, no matter what. Communication will NOT be allowed to get in the way of explosions and action scenes!!!
To keep things vaguely orderly I’m restructuring as a series with each movie being its own story and each chapter is a scene, possibly (if necessary) followed by a TPTB induced course correction.
