Earth One
Redeeming Grant
Also known as ‘the series that started it all’.
When Coulson decides there’s more to Grant Ward than just being an agent for HYDRA, he gives the operative a second chance; not only with SHIELD, but also as part of a family. And with Grant Ward’s redemption and acceptance into the family comes acceptance and redemption for a whole lot more, to the point that the Avengers and SHIELD have formed one big family…complete with its own hierarchy.
This series is an AU from season one of Agents of SHIELD and all Avengers movies after Assemble.
Second Chances
When Slade fights his way back from the effects of the mirakuru, he finds his way back to Oliver’s side to be his little brother’s protector and Dominant.
In a similar vein to Redeeming Grant, this series has team as family and tend to be open and honest with each other about the need for discipline and someone to be in charge.
This series is an AU from season two of Arrow.
Kylo Ren’s Demise
Chewie physically stops Ben Solo from killing his father. Realising the dark path he’s gone down and how lost he truly is, Ben allows his parents, his uncle, to draw him back to the light side…to give him the chance for redemption, no matter what crimes he’s committed.
The love of Ben’s family is stronger than the hate nurtured inside him by Snoke.
Earth Two
Family Business
An AU from the movie American Assassin. Stan Hurley had lost his oldest son, Ronnie, and it nearly destroyed him. He continued to work for the CIA and train operatives, but losing his boy had a huge impact on him and he vowed never to get close to anyone again.
And then Mitch Rapp was sent to him for training. And Hurley found himself caring for another person, in spite of himself. When his oldest boy resurfaced once more, Hurley determined that he was never going to lose his family again. Now, with all four of his children and his brother, he will never let anyone else take anything from him again.
How to Train Your Teammate
Ethan and Will have felt a connection between them that’s existed for a long time. After Will believed he was responsible for Julia’s death, he withdrew entirely from active missions, only working behind a desk until Ethan came for him.
Now, after refusing to let Will turn his back on the team, turn his back on him, Ethan and Will have finally acted on the connection that has always been between them. Finally, they’ve reached the point they should have been at long before now.
Truth Will Out
When Don found out Colby was a double agent, it turned his entire world upside down. Heartbroken, heartsick and angry, furious even, it took Don a while to work through his emotions…to get rid of all that rage. Once he did, he realised it wasn’t as simple as all that. Colby wasn’t a double agent; couldn’t be a double agent.
Armed only with his faith in the man he loved and stubbornness, Don fought to get through to Colby; fought for their relationship. And despite some turmoil and difficulties rising from an emotionally wounding case, they’re fighting through to become stronger than ever, with their family and friends by their side.
From The Inside
The easiest way to bring down a corrupt organisation is from the inside. That’s what Tommy, aka Storm Shadow, strongly believes after he loses his clan inheritance and is offered the chance to gain power through working with Cobra. And he’s tempted…more than tempted…for a short period of time, after having been betrayed by a man he thought he could trust. A man that he loved.
But when Snake decided to give himself to Tommy, to submit to anything to prove he could be trusted, Tommy realised he loved his mate more than he needed or desired vengeance. But until Cobra can be defeated, they need to act as if they’re on opposite sides…no matter how difficult it is for them both.
Earth Three
E3 Team Arrow
So. Not much is known about Earth Three’s version of Team Arrow, apart from the fact that Oliver’s mother is still alive, along with Shado, and Slade was never given the mirakuru, so was never separated from Oliver.
With no emotional hindrance to their relationship, Slade and Oliver are not only romantically involved, but have no hesitation in demonstrating their relationship in front of other people. Oliver is much more open and honest with his feelings and Slade is very obviously the leader of Team Arrow (instead of leading behind the scenes, as he does in Earth One).
E3’s team Arrow are introduced in Second Chances: My Three Sons and a Ghost.
Earth Four
Bourne
When Aaron Cross is given details about and the location of Jason Bourne, it confuses him at first. Why has he been sent after a man as dangerous as he himself? But after he meets Jason, it quickly becomes apparent that the two of them have a lot in common. Their shared experiences allow them to form a close bond…and Jason finally has not only someone he can trust fully and completely, but someone who is as capable of protecting both of them as Jason is himself.
Now You See Me
Dylan needed a son. Daniel needed a father.
Even though things went so badly between them during the events of the second movie, Dylan had no intention of leaving their relationship fractured. He stepped in to draw Daniel to him, to heal the rift between the two of them, and in doing so formed a bond between them that’s almost impossible to break.
Readjustment
After Colby’s revealed to be a triple agent, everyone on the team finds it difficult to trust him. The only one willing to still work with and spend time with him is Liz and eventually, they move into her apartment together.
All is going fairly well until it becomes necessary for Liz to leave and go on an undercover op alone. Colby moves in with Don, but it’s hard for him to take care of himself…and Don is not only trying to keep Colby safe and healthy, he’s also wrestling with his feelings for his agent…feelings that he shouldn’t be having.
Overcoming Lies
It should have been a happy reunion. A lost son returning to his father. But Ronnie had been tortured and tormented by those who took him…and Hurley had believed him dead. When Ronnie resurfaced as Ghost, he was hell-bent on revenge and dragging everyone down with him.
But Hurley knows his son. He knows what to do and say to draw his kid back to him. And now that he has Ronnie back…he won’t lose him. Ever again.
Earth Five
Who’s The Alpha?
Owen had a close relationship with Ian, before he took on the job of training raptors. After the dinosaurs got loose and he retired to work on his own piece of land, Ian tracked him down and brought his son back to the fold.
There are still issues with Owen trying to do his own thing and fight his battles alone, but his alpha daddy is there to help and support him…and to punish him and take care of him those times when it’s needed.
Going Home
Ben Solo wasn’t the only one who ran from Luke and the Jedi temple. He took with him one of his fellow students: Hux, a young human not as strong in the Force, but still with the potential to become a Jedi.
And then they joined Snoke and Hux lost the Force, while Ben became Kylo Ren, a tool of Supreme Leader Snoke…until the Supreme Leader demanded that Kylo Ren kill his own father. Realising he couldn’t take that step, Ben Solo ran away once more…and once again, his former friend came with him.
Perhaps they would have been on the run forever, were it not for their respective fathers.
Earth Six
Space Avengers
Starting with Coulson saving Grant, albeit in a different way to how his son was saved in Redeeming Grant, Coulson began working on healing his new son from the trauma Grant had gone through in his past.
And then Thanos appeared…and the snap occurred. Half of all life was snapped away and for five years, those left behind tried to come to terms with what had happened and all those they’d lost.
And then the Avengers left behind found a way to bring back those who had been lost. And Steve had a second chance to be with the man he loved. When Steve and Brock formed a relationship, other Avengers followed in their footsteps, eventually culminating in a group of Dominants and submissives making their way into space…to explore the galaxies, both known and unknown.
Earth Seven
Moving Forward
‘There can be only one.’
Don is an immortal. He’s hidden that fact from everyone…his whole team, his father and his brother. But when Colby dies and comes back to life, Don realises that he’s not alone. He’s got a baby immortal to take care of.
Realising that he can’t teach and train Colby without help, Don reaches out to the immortal who offered to train him and who he rebuffed…Duncan MacLeod. And with Duncan comes his own partner: Adam Pierson, aka the oldest immortal Methos.
Not Alone
After the death of his fiance, Mitch Rapp is left adrift. With nothing left to live for, he turns to killing terrorists, with no expectation of surviving…in fact, he welcomes death, as long as he can take down those who killed Katrina with him. Being sent to train with Stan Hurley seems like nothing more than a stepping stone along his journey to his inevitable demise…but when he forms a connection with Hurley’s kid Ronnie, his path to his own destruction is halted.
Following The Clues
Assuming his friend had been killed, Sully reached out to the person Sam had talked nonstop about: the man’s younger brother, Nate. Bringing him on board to find the treasure ship, Sully never expected them to grow so close. He never expected to find a son in Nate….
