you scout the road ahead

by tigriswolf

He shifts right before he hits the icy river, more out of last-minute desperation than any actual thought. But the wolf knows how to swim, and the wolf isn't injured or tired, and the wolf’s drive is to live over anything else. The wolf drags himself onto the riverbank and rests for a moment, and then the wolf gets up and trudges away. (In a month, the Russians will pass this way, searching for something they do not find.)

Fridays Child works hard

by tigriswolf

The world is hard for children, and harder still for orphans -- but Tom is clever. Tom has his talents, what he now knows is magic. It’s like a storybook, only he’s not the long-lost and long-sought-for prince. He’s in a storybook but he’s still a nobody. [Tom Riddle never goes to Hogwarts]

When looking westward I

by tigriswolf

Clint knows that he shouldn't be on this team -- the smartest men in the world, Captain America, an alien warrior prince, and Tasha, the most dangerous of them all. He's a nobody, just an orphan raised as a carnie, just a mercenary who managed to snake a target right under SHIELD's nose, and instead of taking him out, Coulson brought him in and offered him a spot. But snipers are replaceable, and Clint always knew one day someone would get the best of him. [Clint, post-Winter Soldier]

Just Another Monday

The stranger was several inches taller than Jo, brown-haired and blue-eyed and scruffy around the jaw line, and fortunately a lot more British-sounding than Zane or she might have wondered just what message the universe was trying to send her.

But covertly, the conflict carries on. The gods, after all, still have a plan, and will do what is needed - one way, or another. Zarya has made her way further south, heading towards the southernmost parts of South America, where she will eventually catch transport to Antarctica. She has discovered that the world away from Russia is already changing more than she knew - but she is not the only one who has started to notice.
