Summary
"Tony. Look at me," Pepper smiles reassuringly, firmly holding his fading gaze, "We're gonna be okay. You can rest now." So he trusts and finally lets go, lets the world darken around him and everything spin into blackness.
(There's a brilliant flash of blue-gold light—)
Tony closes his eyes amidst the wreckage of Thanos' army—and opens his eyes to the aftermath of the Chitauri attack on New York City, ten years earlier.

Summary
From all sides were Ironteeth witches swarming at her, iron teeth and claws out, but she didn’t let that faze her. She narrowed her eyes and slipped into the cold, calculating battle calm that had served her well all these years. She let her anger fuel her movements, enhancing her performance rather than detracting from it.
And Asterin swept forward.
She was darkness and destruction, a whirlwind of gleaming blades and blood, an unstoppable force of nature. She was death, and she had come to take them all.
If there was one thing Asterin was good at, as Second, it was making sure that Manon lived. All of them, the Thirteen, were good at that. One more sacrifice for their leader was nothing. They would do it gladly. After all… what was a puny witch tower compared to the full might of the Thirteen?
aka; Kingdom of Ash, chapter 89--from Asterin's POV.

Summary
On that fateful night at Godric’s Hollow, Lily dies saving her son from the Dark Lord. James comes home to a silent house and a cooling corpse, and though they won the war, it feels like a hollow victory. He throws himself into Auror work, becoming the youngest promoted to Head Auror in decades.
(Harry’s eyes are a brilliant green, the exact same shade as Lily’s, and sometimes, James can hardly bear to look at him.)
Harry grows up almost entirely alone in a house that’s empty most of the time, with a dad that’s never home, knowing loneliness before he knows the meaning of the word. But Sirius and Remus have never been ones to sit on the sidelines, and despite it all, it’s like he has a second family right there with him. It’s enough.
It has to be.

Summary
They stare at each other until Zenkichi tries to break the stalemate.
“K -” Kurusu. Nope. He was just scolded for that. Kurusu raises an eyebrow expectantly when Zenkichi cuts himself off. He sighs and tries again.
“J - …” Joker. Technically, that’s the correct answer - and the leader of the Phantom Thieves watches him with narrowed eyes when Zenkichi stops a second time.
Technically, that’s correct.
But Zenkichi knows that’s not right. Not now. Not with what he wants to say.
“... Kid,” Zenkichi says instead, in a tone that makes Kurusu startle - and behind the black and white mask, his eyes go wide and he looks less like the seasoned thief he’s dressed as and more like the teenager he is.

Summary
In which each yaksha falls in a different way, and for Xiao, there was no other way than to be held down by his karmic debt, winds extinguished by eons of godly wrath and hatred. However, as he sinks down into oblivion, there laid a monster far worse than the corruption eroding away at him.
Far worse, and yet, the only one with an offer to salvation that cost nothing he was not willing to sacrifice—and he wasn’t willing to sacrifice much, so it stands to say the salvation comes almost at no cost at all, except…
“Succumb,” they said. “We swear to the cosmos, that your world will be safe from us. We will even protect it in your stead. Succumb to us, pretty yaksha, and we will take care of you as well.”
Or:
If purification wouldn’t work, then just take corruption worse than karmic debt. Except this corruption likes willing victims.

Summary
Sansa Stark dies in ice and fire, her thread of Fate severed too soon in the battle for Dawn; she is born again in blood and magic, the Old Gods weaving her anew.
Finding herself in a new world on the brink of magical civil war, scorned for the "impure" blood that runs in her veins, Sansa is determined she will never again be told that she is less than what she is worth. Through pain and suffering, she has learned how to turn righteous rage into armour, into weapons, and with the blessing of the Old Gods she will fight for what she believes in; for her family, for herself, and for the Fate of her new world.
