Summary
Wasn’t that how it worked in fairytales? The prince gathered up the sleeping maiden, promised to wed her, the curse was broken and they lived happily ever after. But Fili wasn’t a prince, he was a bookkeeper to a drunk carpenter, and the marriage offer hadn’t worked anyway. So his little act of valour was a failure.
In this world, the dragon failed to destroy Laketown many years ago, the King survived the battle of Five Armies, Bard is the properly elected leader of Laketown, and Fili and Kili are literally the boys next door who were raised with no idea of their royal heritage.
The lives Fili and Sigrid live are small and dull and rather damp, but at least they have each other; but the world beyond is about to come crashing in.

Summary
The asset is programmed not to strike a handler. Not to struggle no matter who is doing what to it. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to shy away when technicians approach torch-first to take it apart and put it back together in the name of science, research, progress. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to object to the mouth guard, the restraints, the chair. Not to beg or plead when it is left empty and hungry in its cryo tube. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to so much as consider harming an operator, the highest of all members of the organization. And...
And if the silent, liquid fury in the asset’s eyes is any indicator, the asset does not comply.
(Or: The one where the asset is thawed out during the Chitauri attack on New York, escapes, and goes hunting for revenge with the Avengers hot on the trail.)
