Now Alphonse is claiming that he was rescued by his missing brother.

Summary
"How'd you know?" He questioned, resigned.
Keith tipped his head back and stared at him, incredulous. As if Shiro had offended him by even asking.
"I've known you since we were kids. We grew up together. We lived together." He squinted up at him. "You think I wouldn't recognise you even in that geeky outfit? God, one look at those posters and I knew it was you."
Shiro closed his eyes in despair, even though he should have known Keith of all people would figure it out.
When Shiro received his draft notice, he felt like his world was crumbling. Forced to leave behind his best friend and join the army, his life was irreversibly changed when he underwent an experimental procedure to create the perfect soldier.
Now, as Captain America, he found himself neck-deep in a war orchestrated by a shadow organisation known only as GALRA. With Keith at his side, and backed by a squad of unique individuals, Shiro was determined to put a stop the deadly operation and make them pay for what they did to him.
He was prepared to do whatever it took, to lose whatever he had to, to make that happen. Or he thought he was.

Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? - Emily Brontë

Summary
Before the world ended and all hell broke loose, Daryl was happy. Well, as happy as an ex-felon who could barely hold down a job could be. He had a man who loved him, and that was enough to make up for the crap hand life had dealt him.
After the world ended and all hell broke loose, Daryl was lost, left to wander a broken world without the one man who brought him happiness.
That is, of course, until a routine supply run leads Daryl back to Paul.
Or: snapshots of Daryl and Paul’s lives before and after the world ended.

Summary
Ever since he was a little boy, Bucky has dreamed of becoming an astronaut together with Steve, and he can hardly believe their luck when both of them are picked for the Ares 3 crew — the third expedition sent to explore Mars. It is, quite literally, a dream come true.
Things get complicated when Bucky finds himself inconveniently attracted to their mechanical engineer, however. Tony Stark is funny, competent, and absolutely captivating, but considering NASA's strict non-fraternization policy, Bucky knows it's better to keep his interest to himself — at least until they return to Earth. He can wait.
Not once does Bucky consider the possibility that all of them might not make it back alive, or just how much he'll come to regret not acting when he had the chance.

Summary
„Now where’s Dean?“ she asked and suddenly, the pain was right there again. It had never been forgotten, would never be gone, but this foreign woman’s presence had distracted him for a little while.
But it only took one question to be reminded, for the smell of gunpowder, oil and sweat to be just as clear as when his brother had pulled him into a hug and Sam had buried his face in Dean’s shoulder like some goddamn kid. For a moment, the agony constricted his chest. He looked her straight in the eyes.
“Dead.”

“I know what you’re going to say, Batman,” Damian said, shrugging the hand off his shoulder. “You’re going to tell me that Nightwing is dead, and that people don’t come back from the dead. Well, clearly you are wrong, seeing that you were dead and I was dead and Red Hood was dead and even Superman was once dead-”
“My parents are dead,” Father interrupted. “Nightwing’s parents are dead. There have been a few notable exceptions in extenuating circumstances, Robin, but the rule stands. Everyone can die.”

Damian meets a 10-year-old Dick Grayson, and they become best friends.

Small Grayson held up his hands in little claws. “I’m Batman, and I never smile,” he mimed with one hand. “I’m Robin, and I never smile either! We avoid each other and overdramatize everything so we don’t accidentally make each other smile.”

This is true: When he joined Project Freelancer, David Brown's family was told he died - lost in the vacuum of space.
This is also true: Stephanie Brown was declared dead and is listed as such in Freelancer's personnel files.
This is a spoiler: Neither of them are dead, in fact.
(It would've been really nice to have figured that out before she got kidnapped to a prison planet.)Bookmarked by Placeholder_Username

Bilbo Baggins arrived home late one afternoon in the middle of the week and the entire west Farthing is still talking about it.
Poor Mister Baggins. He was doomed to be a nine-days wonder no matter what and is it any wonder after a year-long adventure? Even the Tooks haven’t the influence to hush that up, but Mad Baggins seems to have managed to silence every tongue in the Shire on that subject which would be awe-inspiring ...if not for the way he decided to go about it.
OR: That one where Middle Earth seems to be unclear about where baby Hobbits come from.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I’m not sure what you mean?” Bilbo hopes he hasn’t offended their host, but… “…why are you assuming there was a woman involved? In what capacity?”
Gandalf lays a hand on Elrond’s wrist and murmurs something in the high Elven tongue, of which Bilbo knows very little. His Sindarin is better than his Quenya and fatherhood has made him into an inconstant scholar.
Elrond answers in that same language only to receive an answer that seems to flummox him all the more, but he does not seem angry at least. “Forgive me.” He says after another exchange. “Elven customs are very different from yours it seems and I made a hasty assumption.”

“You —” must be Damian. But the words hitch in Dick’s throat as he slowly draws up, and he for some reason can only croak, instinctively, weakly, bewilderingly, “…You’re alive?”
and
“I don’t remember you.”
The boy stiffens.
“But I think you were mine,” Dick says. “You know that? You were mine.”

He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)

Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.
