Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
Peter wasn’t going to let May pay the rent all on her own. Not when there was two of them, not when being Spider-Man made everything that much harder.
And if that meant washing scratched up dishes and scrubbing old blood from the tile grout at Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls, then so be it.
But then one night, his skin turned blue.
(If only his problems didn’t multiply from there.)

Summary
When Harry succumbs to dementors in Little Whinging, the last thing he expects is to wake up and find Tom Riddle’s face staring back at him in the mirror.
It only goes downhill from there.
(In which Harry learns: if Voldemort had been like an atom bomb, Tom Riddle is the biblical forbidden fruit, succulent and fragrant and filled with an insidious rot that just may kill him.)

Summary
But the one that caught his eye and made him stop, was a shade of highlighter blue so bright that it almost hurt his eyes to look at. He did though, too wrapped up in taking careful note of the dark text, stark against the obscenely brilliant paper, advertising his name.
Reward: for anyone with information on one (1) Peter B. Parker. $7
And under that, in a delicate scrawl of purple crayon, the following sentence:
“It’s all I have in my piggy bank right now. But we can do an IOU if you need more.”
or; it’s been three years since Peter asked Strange to complete the spell that would erase him from everyone’s memory. Three years without anyone knowing him. Three years, all alone. All alone, that is, until he finds the poster advertising a reward for anyone with information on Peter Parker, with a note clearly written by a child.
alternatively; Doctor Strange erased everyone’s memories. Everyone’s, it seems, except for Morgan Stark’s.

Summary
AU of the very end of the film. It turns out Miranda does not know how to properly operate Runway's fax machine, which means that only the first part of her letter of reference goes through to the New York Mirror and Andy is denied her dream job. Andy, naturally, thinks she's been blacklisted by her spiteful former boss. This means war.

Summary
Hi Jon and all,
I would like to extend my congratulations, I suppose, to you Mr. Sims. You have reached 500 complaints here at HR! I have never seen this happen before, except for the researcher in Artifact Storage who found a Leitner that made everyone think she was assaulting them constantly. In your three years as the Head Archivist, you received these complaints from over 130 people.
