Deserted_Island_Fics
These fics embody what fanfiction was made for. A celebration of characters, their love, and their stories. Ratings may vary from gen to explicit, and there is no overarching theme to these stories. Some may be incomplete but their quality is what I consider to be excellent.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
Aizawa Shouta has two current headaches in his life:
1. The case he and Tsukauchi are working on. It’s both ridiculous and a complete dead end. Like seriously? Do you really expect him to believe that a nine-tailed fox came into a game shop, ransacked the building, and then decided to recite bad poetry to the cashier? Come on, Shouta’s not an idiot.
2. His new neighbors are very concerning. Concerning in that Kakashi is definitely not related to Shikamaru, and therefore Shouta’s 90% sure that Kakashi kidnapped said child. The only other explanation is that the exhausted six-year-old willingly chose to live with Kakashi, and that just makes no sense. In Shouta’s humble opinion, no one would choose to live with someone who thinks that porn is the pinnacle of literature.
If only both of his headaches could be solved with some ibuprofen. Unfortunately, that’s not an option.

Summary
Five times Ilya lied (but not really) to his teammates about Shane, and one time he didn’t have to.
Inspired by two Cliff Marlow lines: In the airport, when their game with Montreal gets cancelled and he tells Ilya, “Whoever she is, she’s gonna get over it,” and the scene in the locker room when he says, “Wow, this Montreal girl works you up, brother—you’re straight up blushing, Roz.”
Or, the Boston Bears’ perspective of Ilya and Shane’s “secret” relationship over the years

It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

Summary
Once outside, he leaned forward and put his hand against the cold stone wall. His phone was still to his ear, the message still recording.
“Ilya. Please. Please. I can’t do this. I don’t know what to do. Please. You can’t be dead.” His voice broke on the word. “I love you. I love you so much. More than anything. I need to hear your voice. I need you to…I need you…I need you…fuck. Please Ilya, please.”
Shane took the phone away from his ear and held it between both hands as though he were praying. He realized he was on the floor and didn’t know how he got there. He was crying. He was fairly certain he was hyperventilating.
His brain was desperately trying to grab at anything. Any thread of logic. Any idea of what to do next.
I have to see him.
Yes. That made sense. Shane needed to get to Tampa. Now. He would go there. He would find Ilya. Ilya would be fine. They would be together. He would see him. Tell him how much he loved him. He had to go. He had to go now.
***
OR: What if Ilya lost his phone during the emergency landing, Shane couldn't reach him, he panicked, and chartered a plane to Tampa to find him instead...

Summary
“You got shot,” the girl snaps. “You promised you wouldn’t get shot.”
Their banter is so achingly familiar, but Tony can’t quite pin down why. It reminds him of that time he was testing out new flight suits and fell off a third-floor balcony. He and Pepper had only been dating for a few months, and the two were unfamiliar with the push and pull of a relationship when one of you was a superhero.
The realization hits him like a truck.
Holy shit, Tony thinks. They’re dating.
(Or: the one where Tony meets MJ in the back of an ambulance because their boy gets a minor gunshot wound.)
