    Summary

    The circus has a way of evening people out. Everyone looks the same when the lights center on the stage. The whole audience, just blank shadows, staring in. Everyone looks like nothing.

    Someone like this, though. Someone like him. They’ll throw off that nothing before they get back to whatever pampered bed they crawled out of. Everyone else stays nothing, but, for people like that, it’s just a temporary state.

    Clint doesn’t mean to watch him. It’s just that he keeps catching Clint’s eye.

    Summary

    This was such a stupid idea. This was his worst idea, aside from maybe turning against Jacques. But he’s committed now. If he’s going to burn bridges, he might as well make sure they burn to the rebar.

    “It’s Clint,” he says. Several long beats slip by with no reply, so he clears his throat. “Hawkeye? We met at the circus. A couple years ago. You drank a lot, so I don’t know—and it was just a couple weeks, so maybe you don’t remember, but. We did. Meet, I mean.”

    Summary

    “You’ve got, like.” The witch taps his own chest, center mass, with the slice of pizza. “An infection, kinda. In your soul, I guess. Whatever you want to call it. Nobody wants to call it magic.”

    “I don’t have any magic,” Bucky says, immediately. He’s not a witch.

    “Sure,” the witch says. “Well, that thing you have that connects you to Steve, the part of you that can form bonds to other people. That part of you. It’s fucked.”

    “Fucked,” Bucky repeats. He wonders if that’s a medical or magical diagnosis.

    Summary

    “Clint,” Steve says, and it’s that same no-bullshit, do-or-die, I really, really mean it voice he used to trot out in the last few innings of close games in high school. “Bucky’s not gonna fly. He’s not going to drive himself. He can’t— I need you to drive him here.”

    “Oh, fuck you,” Clint says, and hangs up.

    Summary

    Written for the Norsekink prompt: "SHIELD has Loki in custody, with the gag on to keep him from spellcasting, but they don't really know what to DO with him. They can't give him food or water or attempt to interrogate him with the gag on, and they don't dare take it off. Their solution? Call in a telepath! But Charles Xavier may find more things in Loki's head than SHIELD bargained for..."
