Loki just has to reach out one last time. Even if he'll be gone by the time Thor gets it.

Whilst visiting a funfair with the football team, Tony Stark comes to the rescue of Loki Odinson (even though he doesn't need it, *thank you very much*).

Tony Stark hates magic. Nick Fury isn't too fond of it right now, either.

Rose discovers the Doctor has the flu - the Time Lord Flu!

When choosing a new bronco ride, Bucky is directed to the best breeder in the business - Stark Stud. And who knows, he might just find a stud of his own...

On nights when Bucky doesn't go out with his friends, the text that he usually gets at stupid o'clock in the morning is usually about Steve. So rushing to the rescue isn't odd. Rushing to rescue his friends from his boyfriend, however, is. If Bucky had known what was waiting for him, he would have stayed at home.

Attempting to organise a surprise party for her youngest son, Piper gets a surprise visitor of her own.

Grumpy, wants to be left alone, makes no secret of this… Hmm, Harry could almost be describing Professor Snape. But no, it's just an owl. Should be easy to make friends with. …Right?

Due to a magical mishap involving some visiting alien teenagers, Sorcerer Supreme Stephen Strange is turned into a dog. And - to add insult to injury - he is also thrown back in time, where he rather promptly meets - or rather, bowls over - a younger Tony Stark.

Or how the offspring of Howard Stark came to be raised by Hydra.

An unknown potions accident erases Severus and Harry's entire memory, meaning they will have to build their relationship all over again. If they want to, of course. But if they do, then at least they already have a solid foundation.

Even if he isn't actually competing this time, Harry Potter is still looking forward to attending these Olympics. And presumably so is Severus Snape. Even if he never actually says so. *Sequel to Jumping for Gold*

After Hogwarts, rather than go into the Aurors, Ron Weasley started his own detective agency. (He rather fancies himself as one of those old time 'noir detectives'.) He is rather surprised when he gets a potential client in the form of one Narcissa Malfoy. He's even more surprised to learn that it's actually Draco Malfoy.

With the Order of the White Feather gaining prominence and 'gifting' feathers to young men all across the country, someone seems to have decided that Harry Potter is a coward. And they're determined that he know it.

Shy, clumsy and awkward, Neville Longbottom had always had difficulty making friends. He'd resigned himself to spending seven years at Hogwarts not really fitting in. So meeting Luna Lovegood was quite a surprise... Written for xslytherclawx for the Chocolate Box challenge, Round 5.

After the war, Harry's life falls apart. The only friend he has is alcohol (the random hook-ups don't count). Who would have thought that being thrown in jail with Snape of all people would help to turn his life around again?

It was the summer of love . . . er, no, not really. Left waiting for the Dursleys, Harry is found by the last person he'd expect to see.

The best - and worst - thing about having a best friend you've known since school is that they want to keep you safe. Of course they do. You feel the same about them. Written for Katarina for the Chocolate Box challenge, Round 4.

Harry REALLY doesn't want his hair cut.

It was just a bad dream, right? . . . Right?
