PLEASE NOTE: Set in MCU-verse (Marvel Cinematic Universe - a.k.a. the movies). Also, the S.H.I.E.L.D fandom mentioned in this fic is completely fabricated, though there is a comic series (which has a totally different plot to what I'm writing here).
Notes: Since Merlin and Sherlock fandoms have their own versions of this trope (which will probably be more worth your while reading than this), I figured the Avengers could do with one. Actually, that's a horrible, horrible lie. This monster of a fic started because I wanted to write cat!Jarvis and cat!Dummy living with Tony. XD
1) Oh my God, I hate LJ character limits. SMH.
2) Wait, LJ coding is even worse. Shoot me. Y U NO WORK?
3) Sudden realisation that I could've used the Young Avengers as a fandom instead of making one up. *headdesk*

Summary: Erik is buried alive. The question is, what state will he be in when they (if they) dig him out? Theoretically he is dead, dying and alive, all at the same time.
( "There’s a light." ) Winter Edition.
Summary: Model!AU. Erik/Charles. Erik is the world's top male model, but notoriously difficult to work with. It seems Charles is the exception to this rule. Too bad Charles doesn’t want to be a model. Sequel to Autumn Edition.

Summary: Model!AU. Pre-slash, Erik/Charles. Erik is the world's top male model, but notoriously difficult to work with. It seems Charles is the exception to this rule.
( “Oi, pretty boy, get your ass back over here!” ) White Knight to E3.
Summary: Erik/Charles. They’d lived together their entire lives and didn’t know the other was a leader of opposing mutant revolutions. (Kind of influenced by Mr & Mrs Smith.) Modern AU.

Summary: The bullet doesn’t hit Charles. But it does hit Raven. GEN. One shot.
( "He was sitting on some godforsaken beach surrounded by wreckage, holding his dead sister in his arms." ) This is the scene:
John, crouched, breathless.
Sherlock, stock still, tense. Gun in hand.
Moriarty sneering with his eyes, daring him to shoot.
The gun is pointed at a vest. The vest is hiding explosives.
Sherlock and John share a look.
Red dots dance on their heads and torsos. Snipers, waiting for an order.
Everyone holds their breath as the trigger is pressed.
What you want to happen:
The bullet does not miss. It hits, there is an explosion.
John is quick, pushing Sherlock into the pool.
The water them protects from the worst of the damage.
They make it out alive. Moriarty is dead.
The Game is over, but they won.
What you think will happen:
The bullet does not miss. It hits, there is an explosion.
John is quick, pushing Sherlock into the pool.
The water protects them from the worst of the damage.
They make it out alive, though injured.
Moriarty’s body is never found.
The Game continues.
What should happen:
Sherlock shoots Moriarty, once. In the head.
A kill shot. Taking advantage of the shock, Sherlock takes John and runs.
They survive, and the Game is over.
{We all know that’s not really an option though.}
What really happens:
The bullet misses. Sherlock shoots again, quickly.
It hits the vest, but there is no explosion.
Moriarty laughs, noise echoing.
“Would I really endanger myself by putting Johnny-boy in explosives?”
Another gunshot, muted. Not Sherlock’s. John screams.
“The danger has always been from the snipers.”
Blood pours from a wound in John’s arm. Skin paling dramatically.
“I control the snipers.” Another shot, another scream.
This time, Sherlock’s. He drops the handgun and it clatters.
The red spots dance over their chests and temples. Not as red as the blood.
A rapid succession of soft gunfire is heard. Moriarty leaves the bodies.
The Game is over, and Sherlock and John lost.
