A short story about Quentin, a 15-year-old Swiss boy, and the monochrome depression he faces after his parents die in the bombings of Schaffhausen in 1944. Two months after his parents' death, he finds himself back in the dimension of his mind, forced to come face to face with the exact event that changed his life. Only after pain and gruesome suffering does he realize the need to continue living.
Fictional, but the bombing in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is real. I just changed the date and altered some details.

thantophobia; (n.) the phobia of loosing someone you love. "I was conceived during a one night stand." 6 months after the Battle of New York, Tony Stark has spent all his rime building dozens of new powered suits, trinkets and gadgets, mostly for Emma Stark, because he is paranoid that she'd be kidnapped again. It was clear that the events of New York had left Tony with severe PTSD and anxiety, but the events didn't effect Emma as much anymore because she had Pepper Potts to help her. But it seemed that no matter how much she helped him, Pepper wasn't able to get through to Tony. Not helping their problems, a new threat came to be; a powerful terrorist leader named the Mandarin has been responsible for multiple bombings. Tony fears that Pepper might leave him and take Emma with her because she's had enough, especially when she gets visited by an old interest, Killian. After Happy Hogan was severely injured by one of the bombings, an angry Tony gave a threatening promise to Mandarin on the news, which later caused a terrorist attack on Tony's own house, with Pepper and Emma inside. Everyone was left thinking Tony was dead, but he left Pepper and Emma a message, telling them he was alive. Pepper and Emma are determined to find Tony, but what if that determination puts them in danger? [Iron Man 3] Book 6 of 17 #435 in brooklyn Cover by @themiko2Complete

You are the younger sister of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. You are younger by three years and six months. They are extremely protective of you. All of you volunteered for Strucker's experiments but you were taken away for a few years and Wanda and Pietro were lied to about what happened. You have the same powers as both Wanda and Pietro as well as the similar abilities of a serine and enhanced strength. You also got a bad head injury during the bombing so whenever you don't use proper grammar when speaking english like your siblings that is why. You won't always be speaking incorrectly but you will have a lot of moments in which you forget words and feel awful as well as simply using improper grammar.

A spark of life [BxB]
What if I tell you that the past, present and future are roaming around us. The more you dream the more lives you have lived. What would it mean when you are having the same dream over and over again? Will Pete and Vegas find their way to each other, will their dreams come true? Did they make merits together in their previous life? This is a next part of a story called The more you want the less you have, hence if there will be some parts that might not make sense to you, I recommend that you read that one first. The story is intended for a mature audience, I will try to publish TW at the beginning of every chapter. Please bear in mind that it is only fiction. I do not own the characters in this story. Please do not read if you will not feel comfortable. Kindly note that English is not my main language, hence grammar mistakes might appear.

LOTS AND LOTS OF BLOOD AND GORE AND TORTURE IN THE CHAPTER 'The Big Red Button' PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND STAY SAFE!!

Haven't I given enough? Given enough.
"Kid you don't have to do this." I spin my head around, all the Avengers are behind me. It's like a photo... a perfect photo. Their stances match perfectly with the view and the sky. The golden hour light spills over the rooftop like a toppled glass of orange juice. "Friday told me where you are, your heart-rate. Peter, we can help." "No." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The story without the happy ending. TW: Suicide attempt Suicide Self-Harm Depression Anxiety Self hate. Begin the story at what Peter believed was the end of his life, and end it at what actually was.

"Look, I don't think I'm supposed to tell you this, but you're probably gonna find out anyway, and it would be way worse if you found out on your own, and-" "Happy, slow down. What happened?" I ask. He hesitates. "Come on, Happy. You can't ramble on like that if you aren't going to tell me." "Sokovia was just bombed," he starts "What?!" "And Stark missiles were used to do it" "That's not possible. Stark Industries doesn't make weapons anymore...Happy if this is some sick prank you're trying to pull, it's not funny!" "I wish it was a prank, but it's not." Happy mutters. "No, you're lying!" I turned on the TV to see that happy was right. Someone bombed my hometown. I see a picture of my street demolished along with my house... ----------------------------------------- "How dare you, Stark!" I scream as I slam the door. "What did I do this time?" he replies. "Your bombs destroyed my hometown. My parents are dead and I can't find the twins!" tears stream down my face, "I've lost everything because of you!"
