All Screwed To Hell And
by afteriwake
Everyone has a countdown on their wrist to when they will find their soulmate. If they don't, they die. Even Steve Rogers's ran in one direction, though it took him ninety years to meet his. But Bucky's has never run normally, not in the 40s, not when he was the Winter Soldier, and not now that the whole mess with the Infinity Gauntlet has been fixed. But now it's stuck and he has no idea why.Meanwhile, Clara's is still running despite being taken out of the timeline, though never in any way that makes sense or has ever made sense. Not to her, not to the Doctor, not to Ashildr. She'd expected it to disappear. But it's simply counting down to her inevitable demise.And yet? Fate has it ways to make these two meet...even if it takes a TARDIS and the Avengers to make it happen.

The Charm
by Adaris
At first, getting shot had been an inconvenience—annoying, painful, and stupid, but not world-ending. Maxwell’s reaction, however, was shaping up to be seriously apocalyptic. Kepler is injured on a mission and discovers that he's not human. He's a project intended to test just how skilled Pryce is at creating artificial intelligence—could a robot think it was really a person? Yes, and that person is gunning hard for revenge. But like everything Kepler does, this revenge has to be perfect. If only there was something Pryce and Cutter really cared about that he could destroy to make them regret everything they had ever done. If only he knew what they really wanted.
