This collection is for oneshots which I feel are either complete or am actively choosing to not continue. In the rare case that I choose to continue a piece, either as a series or a multi-chapter fic, I will remove it from this collection. Despite updating occasionally, this collection is marked as complete. Note: removing chapters marks the collection as updated.

Alone at night, Wanda plots how to continue her revenge now that her Hydra cell has been arrested & Ultron defeated. She didn't realize that someone was listening.

Natasha was waiting with the news when Clint got back from his first mission after the Incident.
Ana loved the family that she had, even if she had to steal both the husband and the son at different points. (Familial Relations)
This is a collection of smaller oneshots that take place in my Different House, Different Home series where Harry was sorted into Hufflepuff and later adopted by the Abbotts. Because it is all oneshots, it is listed as complete despite updating. Fills within are not in chronological order. Larger oneshots may still be published separately. Full list for series is on profile.

Loki hands out candy with Tony, and they both meet Peter for the first time.

Sam was sick and Dean was too short to reach the button for the ice machine. Luckily, a certain redhead noticed the struggle and decided to help.
It was supposed to be a mission. Maybe it still was.
Tony Stark thought for sure that he had talked his way out of his only chance at a fairy tale ending a long time ago. Then his life turned into an actual comic book. That was weird enough for anyone. Turns out that fairy tales might actually be possible, even in a comic book.
"You are my brother and I love you, but you can't call yourself 'Yeet'. I will literally disown you."
The world had learned that Tony Stark was Iron Man, but there was more that Tony brought back from Afghanistan just like there was more that he had left unresolved before his captivity. Hopefully, he and his new ward can handle the Furies descending upon them. (Sequel!)
If you cannot blind them with brilliance, then baffle with bullshtick. (Canned meat. Do not read.)
And the serpent whispers sweet-sounding words, every one another slat in the cage. (Sequel to "Fleur de Lys")
There was once a boy who lived in a cupboard. He could do things that he shouldn't be able to do, but his family made sure that he knew that was not-good. Then along came someone who took him far away.
It was unexpected and shocking. Molly knew she had to act quickly but she knows that she's racing the clock.
Abandoning Tony in Siberia in a disabled suit and going directly to the Raft had seemed like a valid plan. Even when Bucky stayed safely in the quinjet while Steve freed his team, Steve didn't think anything weird was happening. Having time to think about what they had just done gave Bucky the chance to stop blindly following Steve and do the right thing instead.
Tony had been ... not /fine/, because after losing the love of his life, who would be? But he had been holding it together, no matter what JARVIS & Rhodey said. Then the Mandarin happened. Phil still had gaps in his memories, but reconnecting with JARVIS certainly shed light on things. Now it's his turn to be the Calvary. (IronAgent Triology; Rated due to triggers)
For some reason, Sam Wilson didn't expect to be arrested for his crimes. Even if the thought had occurred to him, he expected that the excuse of helping Captain America would be enough to get him out of any trouble. This wasn't what he expected.
Tony Stark had a laundry list of character defects. Nowhere on it was "abandon a child who needed help", especially not one who didn't have a Rhodey looking for them. (PoA - Iron Man)
The pets are missing!
Tony Stark is a scientist. Why does everyone always forget that?

Loki met his death in 'Infinity War'. Now he meets Death itself. (MC4A fill; Fix It fic)
Ginny believed in Luna and Luna believed in her. What else did they need? (MC4A fill for Starspangledpumpkin)
This is a collection of responses to various challenges. Unlike other responses, they didn't end up finishing a story, not even a vignette. They belong in a story world from another of my works. Some also aren't long enough to justify their own stories. Most are going to be from my primary fandom, Harry Potter, but there might be other fandoms at some point.
Everything Clint had read about Tony Stark had guaranteed that he was not gonna like him. Fortunately, Tony disproves that quickly. (MC4A fill; SIU fill)
Any group of people will have their conflicts. Sometimes it just takes an outsider to reveal them. (MC4A fill)
Sometimes, it was tiny moments which into the greatest things. Most of the time, strangers connect with people they have never met. (MC4A fill; LoM)
Lily had a thing for picking up what Severus called "strays". He wasn't wrong. Her instincts would not let her turn away from someone who truly needed her help. And so help her, she would do anything to protect her pack. (MC4A fill; LoM)
Bruce Banner has always been angry, even before the accident that led to the creation of the Hulk. That didn't mean his anger was without reason. (LoM; MC4A fill)
A friendly meeting in a pub turns into a lesson about St. Patrick. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
The more things change, the more they stay the same. But Harry decided to do things a little differently when he confronted Lupin about leaving after the debacle that revealed the truth of Sirius' situation.
Harry had always been good at looking at things on a slant, even on the fly. Perhaps on the fly, he was even better. Dumbledore probably should have realized that before he sent Harry and Hermione back in time to save Sirius. Turns out that Sirius wasn't the only one who just needed a bit more time to figure things out.
Hermione pulled the child from the wreckage of the orphanage. Then she couldn't let go. (HC fill)

A year and a day can be a long time or it can pass in the blink of an eye. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
As first meetings went, theirs could have gone worse. Remus still could have done without being knocked down, though. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Heroes show up when they are needed, and some show up just in the nick of time. The kind of time that this is is still to be determined.
No one called Tony during the info dump. Luckily, he learned about it anyway. (MC4A fill)
They were finally going to get a dog! Clint had wanted one since he was a kid and now his partners had finally agreed! Wait, what was Natasha doing with that stinky weasel-snake! (for Jet)
Sometimes the very thing that you never knew you had wanted, you get and all you need for happiness is to accept it. (HC fill; MC4A fill)

Zillah was not going to let anything come between her and her children. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
There was no greater height of joy than anticipating a new addition to the family. But sometimes, heights are dangerous to be at. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
A man who would represent himself in a court of law has a fool for a client. Luckily, Harry is no fool and Sirius' favorite cousin became a barrister. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Harry just wanted to go to bed and cuddle. What he found was horribly not what he expected. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Sometimes life is just accepting that things have to be enough. (HC fill; MC4A fill)

Pomona Sprout loved all her cubs, but when Harry Potter is sorted into her sett, it feels more like her world is ending. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Darcy just wanted to drink her smoothie. Then Pepper Potts walked into her life. (MC4A fill)
Sometimes the definition of things are just different. That's perfectly fine because that is what makes things finally perfect. (MC4A fill)
Harry was a freak. His family had never hidden that from him. He had been lucky that Ron & Hermione hadn't figured out what he was because nobody wanted freaks. Luna knew the moment she met him, of course. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Sometimes running away is the best thing to do. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Some things are privileges. Other things are just what one is entitled to. It had always been messed up in Harry's case. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Alice loved things which glittered, especially the brilliance of Lily Evans. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Sometimes it's just impossible to see the forest for the trees and sometimes it's just as impossible to see what's right in front of you. (HC fill; MC4A fill)

multi femslash
It's an incredibly exciting thing, this one meaningless existence. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Children were such sweet creatures, especially the smart ones. (MC4A fill)
Fairy tales don't tell children that dragons exist. Children are rarely the ones so blind as to not see them. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
No one can truly deny a siren's call, but for those who aren't idiots about it, the rewards can be great. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
The best things come into one's life like lightning and was as strong as a triangle. Seamus knew that best. (HC fill; MC4A fill)

multi slash
Spencer was surprised to meet someone from Harry's past, given how little he talked about it. Luna just kept surprising him. For the record, though, Spencer was not jealous. (TQC)
There are many ways to make deals. Some of the best involve blueberries and bratty bots. (MC4A fill)
Xenophilius fell in love at first sight. But then, who wouldn't? (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Harry planned to stay at Hogwarts his first year, because being alone would be better than with the Dursleys. His new House wasn't as willing to just leave him.
Gryffindor for the brave; Ravenclaw for the wise; Slytherin for the clever; Hufflepuff for the hardworking. Where do the queasy go?
Harry knew the odds of him finding someone who would love him were slim. He would make due with his friends. Blaise didn't approve of that. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
They did not call her "Ice Queen" for nothing. Daphne was as uncaring and unstoppable as a glacier. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
It was just a little day trip to Nunnery Castle. No one expected a family reunion. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Teenagers were dramatic creatures, especially the smart ones. (MC4A fill)

multi slash

multi slash

It was their private ritual and Daphne would never miss it. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
It was a quiet moment, earned by hard work in secret. It was perfection. (HC fill; MC4A fill)
Sometimes finding where you are supposed to be is as easy as just sliding into place.
Hermione saved him, and Blaise found himself enchanted. He couldn't let her go. (RC fill)
Neville watches his partners in the kitchen after Harry has a bad night. (RC fill)

multi slash
Luna had enough of chasing cryptozoological creatures and living out of a trunk, at least for a while. Maybe in a year or two, she'd go back to traveling the world. Renting a flat in central London would be a change of pace from the wild reaches, certainly, but there'd be people around again. That would be nice. (HC fill)
Harry's always had a weakness for flowers...and yeah, he's kind of an idiot, too. (HC fill)
Love comes in many forms, even when it's the same type. It can be hot and fierce; it can also be soft and comforting. Some days are harder than others to deal with. Luckily, Lily can always come home. (RC fill)

multi slash
Communication depends on several factors: words, body language, receptiveness of your audience, timing of your message. Two weeks after that Halloween, Severus and Lily practice their communication skills. (RC fill)

Snapshots of Love by Magi Silverwolf Stale Result (Last seen: )

To catch up on my Romance Challenge fills more easily, I'm going to do a series of snapshots into the lives of various pairings. Each snapshot should be considered as occurring in its own universe.
There are many ways to stop invasions. Blueberries are probably the best way. (StL fill)
Even the dreamiest of dreamers can run out of patience. (HC fill)
Dumbledore said one thing while doing another. Harry decided that he was done listening. (HC fill; ToS fill)
Unhappy people are always dangerous, and there's always more than one way to get revenge. (HC fill; ToS fill)
Alicia hated her hair and how it refused to behave. She hated missing meals. But most of all, she hated Sven. Katie was lucky she was cute. (HC fill) (For Pixileanin)
Sometimes happiness has a cost. (HC fill)
Everyone knows that bookworms had a way of noticing things, especially about other bookworms. (HC fill)

multi femslash

Sometimes, the lies we tell ourselves are the best ones. (HC fill; ToS fill; AFS/DtW fill)

multi femslash
Until you've experienced loss, you will never understand how simple things can be more than enough. (BAON fill; HC fill)
Sometimes redemption is beyond any possible reach. (BAON fill; HC fill)
What happens when someone who has only a rudimentary grasp on modern technology decides to "disable" experimental alien weaponry marked as radioactive? (Connection)
Harry needed information in order to help Spencer in the wake of Revelations. Pressing Spencer for it was likely to trigger another flashback, so Harry goes to a different source: the team. Hopefully, no one would stab him. (TQC; BAON fill)
Bellatrix wanted him, even more so because Andromeda had him. Slytherins were always willing to use any ends to meet their goals. (HC fill; BAON fill)
Some things in life are just as simple as an acacia blossom. (HC fill; BAON fill)
Vision was surprised to receive Wanda's call after her escape from the Raft. It does mean that he had to make a decision, however. (BAON fill; Connection)
Tony wasn't good with kids. In general, that just wasn't a thing he was. So imagine his surprise when one snuck into his lab to make a demand. (FPC fill; Poetry series)
Laura was happy to see her husband again. She was less happy to hear that Cap had 'fixed' things. (FPC fill; Connection)
Friday awoke to a whispered promise captured in a poem. It didn't take long to realize that the words were so much more than simply a promise. (FPC fill)
Left home with her brother's stray, Jenny ends up having to navigate an unexpected mess due to a disrupted schedule. Thankfully, this Tony kid is tolerable. (FPC fill; Aeries)
Frigga loved her children, but she only had one heir. (FPC fill; Mythology heavy; minor spoilers for Ragnarok)
Sisters were evil. Rhodey said so. Tony still thought that Jenny was awesome. (FPC fill; Aeries)
Tony tried to hide the poisoning from his Rhodey-bear. Fortunately, JARVIS has his back. (RC fill; Poetry)
Tony learned some lessons earlier than others. Then Rhodey came along to prove him wrong. (RC fill; IronHusbands)
James was going to quit the Air Force. Clearly his idiot couldn't be left alone without FLYING NUKES THROUGH WORMHOLES! (RC fill; IronHusbands)
James Rhodes had only intended to get drunk & forget about things for a while. Tony, just being Tony, changed everything. That was just how Tony was & James really wouldn't have him any other way. (IronBros; MIT fic; rated for profanity; Aeries)
All the Avengers Initiative needed was a bit of incentive for them all to work together. Fury announced Coulson's death, and the words destroyed Tony's world as surely as Stane's once had. (RC fill)
Five times that Harry had come close to being loved and the one time he found that he was. (RC fill)

multi slash
The Boy-Who-Lived is a prize to be won. The Chosen One is a weapon to wielded. In one version, Harry Potter never figured out those things-and believed everything that he was told about the world he was entering. He never realized the power he held and no one realized his private challenges. A chance meeting with someone who notices changes everything.
Luna knew what it was like to be without a purpose, without an anchor. She had already watched more than one person she loved be torn apart by the storm. She was not willing to let the same thing happen to Harry if there was anything she could do to prevent it. (TQC)
Jason Gideon finally noticed that his TA wasn't always around anymore. He would have liked to say that Spencer making a new friend would always be considered a good thing. The problem was that he had spent too long hunting the monsters of men to not recognize a trained fighter. There was no doubt in his mind that Dr. Harry Black was more than a simple librarian. (TQC)
Peggy Carter lived her life. She loved, and she lost. She still learned when to plant herself like a tree and refuse to move. Sometimes the only way out is to fly on wings of your own making. (LoM)
It started on a mission. The Asset found a child in a cupboard. There was something about the kid that seemed familiar, especially when he had raised his tiny fists with the full intention of fighting the Asset. Nothing could ever remove Bucky Barnes' inherent habit of taking care of little punks determined to take on the world. (LoM)
Lily Evans came online suddenly and violently to protect the boy from the bushes. He was hers to protect, even more so than her family and, ugh, sister. She definitely didn't like the sound of a place where the rules didn't seem like they would matter. Luckily, her boy had a plan. (Hogwarts fill; LoM)
Ron's always had a temper and difficulty expressing his feelings in positive ways. Hermione knew that when she married him. So getting upset over the things he says and how he's phrasing them is selfish and immature. It's not like he's hit her or anything. (HC fill)
Harry didn't know how long he had been sitting at his parents' grave, silently falling apart. But eventually, Luna was exactly where he needed her once more and just like after Sirius' death, she knew exactly what to do. (TQC)
Spencer reflects upon his new friendship with the new librarian at Georgetown University. Shutting off the behavioral analysis that has become second nature was next to impossible, but maybe that was a good thing since it seemed like said new librarian refused to acknowledge that he just might need support. (TQC)
Never let it be said that Harry didn't at least try to follow Hermione's advice. Even when he's befriending a genius who broke into his library to fondle the books. (TQC)
It was a quiet Ravenclaw who had been terrorizing the two siblings for months for their part in the death of his fiancée. He would probably not be comforted by the knowledge of how right he was about that. (Hogwarts fill; TMaD)
Harry discovered his magic young. It was not appreciated. (Shades)
George knew he was living on borrowed time. He just had get his family to a point where they could function without him. (TQC)

multi slash
Or A Series of Unfortunate Dates. (RAC fill)

multi slash
Harry comforts his friend after the events in Georgia. Then Spencer does some comforting of his own. Maybe they'll get this figured out eventually. (TQC)
Harry hadn't made the decision to move to another country lightly. He just had to do well on the first job he ever had to interview for. He wasn't certain that he was doing well at all. Luckily, he reminds the interviewer of someone. (TQC)
Harry had just went along with things all his life. What those in authority over him had wanted had always been his first consideration. This is how he went about discovering his own authority. He just had to fall to pieces first. (HC fill; Hogwarts fill; TQC)
The counters didn't matter. And even if they did, it didn't matter for Harry because no one would want him. (RAC fill)

multi slash
Through all their lives, they've loved only each other. And Death has loved them. (RAC fill)

multi slash
It was the best find she had ever made. (Hogwarts fill)
They were exactly what everyone always said they were. (Or a prime example of why you should always raise children as themselves rather than a unit, even when they're multiples.) (Hogwarts fill)
Death is inevitable. It is how we face it that makes the difference. (ToL)
Harry didn't grow up at the Dursleys. Instead, he grew up somewhere far worse. It changed everything. (RAC fill)

multi slash
There are some things which just cannot be fixed. You get through them anyway. (HC fill)
Fate had always taken the things Harry had wanted-it took his parents; it took his childhood. Finding out about the soulmarks seemed like just another way for Fate to take something from him. (RAC fill)

multi slash
Lily knew things that others didn't. She paid attention where others didn't. Is it any surprise that she knew about artifacts and knew how to use them? Too bad it was Harry who ended up paying the price of its use.
Harry thought it was dream-the best one ever. It just...wasn't enough. (RAC fill)

multi slash
Luna didn't intend for this to happen. Now Draco would not let her leave. She could only be strong for so long. (HC fill; Continuation of "Love and Joy" by spittingllama7856)
Luna was a titan. Neville was a warrior. Harry was a champion. They were heroes and always, without fail, heroes rise. (RAC fill)

multi slash
In which Katie Bell reveals more than she set out but Luna may actually be alright with that. (HC fill)

multi slash
Soulmates grant each other colors. This is how that works for Luna, Harry, and Neville. (RAC fill)

multi slash
Fate wrote the first words that your soulmate every spoke to you on your wand-arm. Just one problem. Harry had lost his voice the night he lost his parents. (RAC fill)

multi slash
In The Schrodinger Effect, Kreacher told Harry that he had stolen Lily and he would never give her back. The elf didn't tell Harry just how confident he was that his master wouldn't even think of that as a possibility. He also didn't mention that he had the little elfling for weeks already. (HC fill; TMaD)
When Harry discovered that he had a name, he clung to that information and all that it entailed. After learning more information about his past, nothing and everything changed. (Shades)
The breaking of a family isn't always done in one blow. Occasionally, it's done in pieces. (HC fill; Shades)
This is how Luna crossed the Veil that separated the future from the past and death from life. (TMaD; Covers)
Faced with nothing left to live for, Luna makes a decision, one that will change the lives of everyone about her. She decides to go back in time in an attempt to save those she's lost. That's the drop in the pool. All else is but ripples. (TMaD)

multi slash
Sometimes hope is nothing but an echo, forgotten and lonely. It is still the connective tissue between two lives.
Blood is a powerful substance. So many things get passed by blood, either by heritage or by mixing blood in a body. It was blood which made the Five what they were-what they are. It was a blood sacrifice which many claimed to protect Harry Potter from the Killing Curse. The legacy always comes back to the blood in their veins.
Through everything, she was there-omnipresent and as yet as untouchable as the heavens. The wizarding world toasted the boy-but Severus remembered the angel. He remembered everything. (Shades)
It was a promise, between friends. It was a promise from the depths of a broken heart. It was a vow, which saved him, which damned him. It was the destiny they chose. (Shades)
The Wizarding World loved their Savior, the Boy-Who-Lived. His name was praised in every household across Britain. Too bad Harry never knew. (Shades)
Madam Pomfrey couldn't reverse the Polyjuice accident fully. That's how Hermione Granger found herself a cat-girl...and the Ministry has ruled that she is no longer a Being, but a creature. Now she and her friends will be faced with the big question: what does it mean to be human? (TMaD)
Sirius Black had spent most of his life taunting Death with hot-headed recklessness. He never expected that She would claim others in his stead. The chill of Azkaban had nothing on the loss of warmth now that James and Lily were dead. (Advent fill; Shades)
Remus was no stranger to loss. Sometimes it seemed like it was all he ever knew. But now it was Christmas. The first one is always the hardest. (Advent; Shades)
His purpose was complete. Voldemort was dead. Now it was time to move on.
Gryffindors claim they are ethically right and justify any misdeed with excuses of love, but in the end, it was a Slytherin who truly saved Britain by making the hard choice.
Natasha flirts with danger as she steals clothes from her fellow Avengers. (Dominance Games)

These are all the short stories that make of the past events of my other Harry Potter works. They are gathered here so that my readers can easily find them.
Harry was told by everyone that his scar was a curse scar. If everyone believes it, then it must be true...right?
"Balance me, my friends. Protect me, I beg you. The world must have her Avatar."

Every mother had a choice during the war. Lily has made hers.

Contradictions Betwixt Worlds by Magi Silverwolf Stale Result (Last seen: )

The greatest tragedy in life is not a Shakespearean plot. It's a child who's meant to be a hero...when that's all he's ever really needed.
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November..." You know things have gone into insanity when Ron Weasley was being the voice of reason while Hermione and Harry became the mad plotters. Maybe it was the childhood among muggles that drove them to this.

Remember Everything by Magi Silverwolf Stale Result (Last seen: )

Moments define us. They define our actions and how we think; what we believe to be right and what we believe to wrong. These moments are Severus' and no one will change them. No Pairings.
When lightning strikes, it forever changes the thing it hits. No one know this better than Harry Potter. AU Sixth Year One shot
They came while the brothers were away. They thought they were so smart to do it-the Elric brothers wouldn't be able to find where they took the little gypsy and even if they could, what were they compared to the might of the Fuhrer? They were wrong.
Temptation is always the hardest part of being strong...
Desperation can lead to interesting situations. Not a romance.
A foolish course of action is sometimes the right one. Not A Romance.
Two funerals, years apart, have never been so felt in the hearts of those left behind. (ToL)
