Santana is eight years old when her Tio Carlos joins the Army. Or the less-cracky-than-you-might-expect Glee/The Losers crossover where Cougar is Santana's uncle. (If it tells you anything, i nearly titled this 'Ohana Means Family.')

This is not exactly what Jensen was expecting when he came into work this morning.

A one-night-stand becomes a whole lot more. If only life were that simple.

Jake Jensen is sixteen when he meets Tony Stark at MIT. He's nineteen when he joins the US army, and twenty-four when he becomes a Loser. Becoming a Loser is also when he happens to discover that DADT might apply. But that is not where this story begins. It begins on a cold, winter morning in Massachusetts, when a little girl with hair the colour of cornflakes meets her newborn brother for the first time. (In which there are evil toasters, all-around nerdiness, and ohana ).

It was not, strictly speaking, Jake’s fault that he ended up in jail.

AU world, where mutants are government property, and The Losers just got assigned a new sniper

Jensen couldn't decide whether he was having the best week ever, or the worst.
