Summary
Once they’ve sat down, it takes Danny about three seconds to blink at Matt, and, incredulous, ask: “What are you?”
Matt says, “A lawyer.”
Jessica snorts. “More like a weirdo with a leather fetish and a martyr complex.”
“Yes,” Matt agrees, “I am catholic.”
(Or: Matt's not normal, but what else is new. Adding more superpowers to the list isn't that big a deal, right?)

“I’m not going to--” she drops her voice, terrified that it’ll carry through the door and that Tony will somehow hear all of this with his freakish PA powers. “I’m not going to fuck my assistant, Rhodes.”
“You want to,” Rhodey stresses, flailing his arms around.
Pepper purses her lips.
“Oh my God.”

Summary
His Bronco is a sight for sore eyes when he slides into the well-worn seats, bag tossed carelessly into the back, and he takes a deep breath as he leans back against the leather. His body comes back to him in pieces, the tension in his limbs from stress and small spaces slowly draining until he feels like his chest can relax.
Exhaustion washes over him in waves, but he doesn’t let himself succumb just yet. The promise of home is enough to keep him going.

Summary
“My wife has asked that you join us for dinner tomorrow night,” Beau says carefully.
“Your wife, sir?” Jake’s brow furrows. “Why would she like to meet me?”
“She thinks its important that my mentee sees a healthy work-life balance.”
“I’m your mentee?” Jake teases, smirking lightly. “And you talk about me enough that your wife wants to meet me?”
“You can continue to be a pain in my ass,” Beau sighs, looking up at the ceiling. “Or, you can take the offer of a free dinner with a beautiful and intellectually stimulating woman.”
“Oh, I definitely want to see this side of Cyclone,” Jake grins. “Domesticated.”
“You’re bordering on impertinence.”
“Me? Never.”
“Let’s go back to when you respected me and my position.”
Jake appears to settle down, but only slightly. He clears his throat and squares his shoulders. “I’d be honored to attend dinner with your family, Admiral. Just tell me a date and time.”

Summary
Bradley Bradshaw was eight years old when he lost the last connection he had to Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
The years that followed made him into a lot of things: an orphan, a street kid, a Marine Raider, a decorated war hero carrying more ghosts than he can count, and now, a firefighter.
What they never made him was ready to walk into his new station and find Jake Seresin standing there alongside the future he’d buried with the rest of his ghosts
As Bradley settles into a life he’s still not sure he deserves, he’s forced to confront a past he thought was long buried, a future he never planned for, and the people who refuse to stop loving him, looking for him, or waiting for him.
A Firefighter AU about found family, old ghosts, second chances, and the long road home.
