It’s always so satisfying when some throwaway lore worms its way into being plot-important. Like yeah, I mentioned that ancient king getting assassinated as an offhanded comment, but now I need an overarching enemy for the next arc so lez go vengeful lich king!!!
You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.
Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and she’s like my mom is gonna kill me because I’m prettier than her and she’s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her don’t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.
Like yeah that’s kinda stupid but also she’s seven. She likes apples.
Also imagine it from the hunter’s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who you’re supposed to kill and it’s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because you’re not a brainless evil minion you’re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.
Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like we’re married now
He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.
With the acknowledgement that I'm grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn't also 7?
See, I think that still works.
You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on "going hunting", and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there's a dead girl in the clearing and there's no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she's really pretty, Hans, and she's all alone!
You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist's opinion on that, and there's no way he's going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.
So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it's not like the Prince can do it. He's eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there's a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.
You should probably ask for a raise.
WAIT NO THIS IS GLORIOUS
I have the most wonderful watercolor fairytale movie playing in my head right now from this interpretation, well done all.
Wait wait wait. Hear me out.
After letting Snow White go, the huntsman decides he'd better skip town and moves to the next kingdom over. And he sees that the royal guard is hiring and what the hell, being part of the royal household might be an extra layer of protection from the queen back home.
So he's out in the woods with the Prince that day and dead girl in a glass coffin happens. And look maybe normally he'd leave this the fuck alone but uh. That's definitely Snow White.
This man cannot get away from the Story.

Current events
I sea.
guys, i work at an aquarium and my coworkers and i have literally laughed at this for three days straight. everytime we pass each other we whisper “current events” and crack up. our customers think we are nuts.
Discord is my usual plot idea dumping ground, but sometimes I stumble into Tumblr at 3 am in the morning like it’s a Denny’s and I want to talk about my fic ideas but no one is awake to talk to me so I’m just going to ramble to the waiter who does not get paid enough for this and just wants to go back to napping in the break room.
…
ANYWAY!!!
I’ve slowly but surely been sucked back into the Marvel fandom! Hooray!
Specifically, I’ve been revisiting all my favorite time travel fics and my brain has not stopped bombarding me with ideas since.
All that to say that I’ve come to the Marvel fandom with an offering (If y’all are interested);
Summary
Tony Stark dies in Siberia. Perhaps that should’ve been the end of the story. A fitting final act for the villain of the story. The evil former war profiteer billionaire, finally brought down by the righteous Captain America. A man born in fire and blood, drowning in his regrets as the cold seeps through the cracks in the armor he’d been so proud of.
It should’ve been the end.
But it wasn’t.
No, Tony wasn’t getting off that easily. Instead, he wakes up in the cave, before the Civil War, before the Avengers, before Iron Man…
“Fuck this. We’re doing things my way now.”
(Full disclosure: This is going to be a series of works in the same universe. Which means I can split things up to help with pacing and motivation. Unfortunately, it also means my urge to hop around the timeline is a bit harder to control. As it stands, the only thing I have written for this so far is half of chapter 1, and then all 5 chapters of part, like, 7 or something. I wish I was joking)
In any case, if this sounds at all interesting to the fanfic readers of Tumblr, let me know. I would love to hear y’all’s thoughts and suggestions!
Quick note for tags: Somehow, despite planning something entirely different, Winteriron snuck in through the window, assassinated the original planned pairing, and nearly seated itself on the driver’s seat.
A lil breakdown of the current arcs
Part 1: Iron Man 1 & 2 (Tony speed runs both of them while avoiding SHIELD like the plague. And, because the outline looked a bit empty, he went and stole Bucky from SHIELD in a valiant attempt to pretend he was even remotely emotionally stable)
Part 2: Avengers (Tony ends up teaming up with Fury’s little boyband in Manhattan, despite adamantly refusing the recruitment pitch. The Avengers are a sad group of depressed PTSD-riddled individuals that are very interested in pulling him into their family. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt) (Tony also gets to shoot Loki in the face. Not sure if it’s canon that he was mind controlled, but it is here! So he’s free now, helps fight off the Chitauri cuz it’s already too late, and gives Tony the heads up about Thanos. In his weird, cryptic Loki ways, anyway)
Part 3: An Interlude (The Avengers try to pull this sad little billionaire into their club, while Tony tries to resist what he knows will end up becoming a disaster. Also- The Avengers get a SHIELD funded compound this time! Loki also gets stuck on community service duty for New York. And by community service, I mean Avengers duty. Ends with Tony finally attending a team dinner, tho he’s still not all the way there yet)
Part 4: Iron Man 3 (I’m still working out how Tony meets Harley again, because I love him, but shhhh. Anyway, the entire team, minus Thor and Loki who are off doing their Dark World bs, shows up during the Tony vs Killian showdown to help, and Tony is learning to trust again!)
Part 5: Dealing with Shieldra (Bucky’s already been liberated from their care, so no Winter Soldier movie. Instead, Tony has been systematically hunting them down now that he’s decided to place the blame of his parents’ murder firmly on Hydra’s head, not Bucky’s. It’s also made clear that while Bucky remembers his Winter Soldier days, he can’t really recognize the people beyond them being targets. So he doesn’t actually remember killing Howard and Maria Stark, because they’re just two more faces among countless other victims. So he’s free hasn’t realized he killed Tony’s parents, and Tony isn’t keen on bringing it up. It’s not super central to the plot yet, tbh, just something I wanted to note)
Part 6: Age of Ultron (To be clear, I hate the movie. Thus, I will be changing it. Tony didn’t want the scepter anywhere near his tech or JARVIS, sorry Vision, so after ensuring it wasn’t in danger of falling into Hydra hands, he let SHIELD take it. SHIELD, being SHIELD, ended up enlisting Dr. Hank Pym for research. Hank ends up creating a murderbot without Tony’s name on it, and Tony gets the closure that the Ultron fiasco really wasn’t all his fault like everyone else claimed. And then he goes after Ultron, because no way is he letting something capable of killing JARVIS stick around long enough to try. I don’t see how I can possibly work Vision into this tho, so until I do figure it out, he’s unfortunately a non-entity in this AU)
Part 7: Social Media Interlude (Lots of background info from previous parts, like what all Stark Industries was doing. And also Winteriron somehow happened. I have no idea how, don’t ask me. Mostly fluff, tho the footage of the Stark murders gets leaked and Tony gets to be the emotionally mature one in the group finally. Very fond of his lil “I’ve known about the murders since before I met Bucky, don’t harass him, he was the gun, not the shooter, etc etc” rant. He does have to wave away his knowledge with hacking Shieldra, which wouldn’t really work, but no one else knows that so shhhh)
Part 8+: I’ll let you know when I’ve figured out how Tony’s gonna handle outliving his past self in the other timeline. But it’ll go all the way to Infinity War/Endgame, dw
If any of this does interest anyone, please let me know. I love hearing feedback!
I have a question.
Why da fuq do some of these annoying Tony stans think that every character from different stories would be on Team Iron Man and approve on the accords?! It’s bad enough that they make fanfics that twist, bash and warp Team Cap or any other character, and make Tony a victim and always right all the time, but they have to make crossovers where other characters would prop up Tony and bash on Steve and his team.
You got Naruto, My Hero Academia, Dragonball/Z/Super, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Supernatural, Bleach, How to Train your Dragon, Steven Universe, She-Ra, DC comics, Doctor Who, Lucifer, Sonic, even freaking Inside Out, just to name a few.
Not every character will side with the accords. Not every character will side with Tony. Some characters will side with Steve and can have legit reasons. If some of them did their research on the characters, they would know that some of them would be on one side or on neither. But they don’t because they don’t give a damn. These kind of fics keep popping up, and I’m getting sick of it. The Marvel tag on fanfiction is getting ridiculous, I just wanna find some good domestic Avengers fanfics or anything with some good stories. Not ones that bash on Team Cap and have the rest wank on Tony 24/7. Jeez. >_<
Sorry in advance, I am a Tony stan. But like, mostly comic Iron Man? Honestly MCU is a bit of a meh point for me, but I did have a period of time where I sought out pretty much every Team Iron Man fic out there (It was copium, I know), and most of it is Team Cap bashing (Again, I prefer comics to the MCU. I pretty much stopped being interested after Age of Ultron, and I haven’t watched anything from after Endgame). I can’t speak for all my fellow Tony stans out there, but for me, it was being unsatisfied with Civil War. It doesn’t go into the Accords at all beyond the basic “Don’t invade foreign nations with your team that basically amounts to a private militia funded by a former war profiteer.” Like, I only recently learned about the registration, tracking, and waiving their rights to a trial, because the movie never mentioned the Accords after the initial introduction. For all the movie does talk about it, it genuinely sounds like a necessary legislation. I just think the Cap hate would be nearly so ridiculous if the movie had actually gone into the inhumane aspects of the thing, which it didn’t because it was too busy with the Bucky plot. They could’ve never mentioned the accords and the movie still would’ve made sense, and Team Cap would be a lot better off for it in the fandom.
Honestly, though, one of the biggest reasons I’ve seen people hating on Cap is because of the whole “Winter Soldier killed Howard and Maria Stark and Steve said nothing about it.” Which, yeah, sucks, but I also don’t think he knew that exactly. He knew Hydra had them killed, sure, but he does explicitly say he didn’t know it was Bucky, so… Still not great?
Take all of this with a grain of salt, considering I’m biased and my all time favorite superhero ever has and probably always will be Iron Man. (Spider Man is a very close second tho)
As for why these fic writers do mental gymnastics trying to make reasons for their favorite characters to side with Tony? Wish fulfillment. That is literally it. It’s just the story they want to tell. You can do the exact same thing, and that’s perfectly fine! The thing to remember about fanfiction is that it’s written by those who do love the source material, in one way or another! It’s also completely free. They don’t get paid to write these stories, so they should be able to write their perfect fantasy. Everyone is allowed that.
My suggestion: Filter, filter, filter. There’s a lot of fics out there that just aren’t going to be your cup of tea, but it’s someone’s, so best to just ignore it and move on to things you actually care about. You’ll want to exclude Team Cap bashing and Team Iron Man, for starters. Honestly, go wild with it. Find your perfect story.
I will continue to read Team Iron Man fics, because I love seeing my favorite hero be the good guy. Doesn’t mean I’m not aware he’s problematic. (I know I said I had a period of time where I sought them out, and I did!! Then I stopped caring for a while! But I’ve circled back around and am now in the trenches again)

Greetings Demon Slayer fandom! I will preface this by saying I’ve never watched the show or read the manga, but I’m obsessed with the characters and thus my brain has produced Ideas™️!
And thus, I give you an unholy combination of Demon Slayer and specifically the universe of Kimetsu Gakuen! I’ve been given the thumbs up by people who have watched the anime, so I think I’m doing good! Maybe. Possibly. There’s a chance.
Anyway-
Class 1-A and Aizawa and All Might (And Present Mic for reasons) take a field trip to Shiri Island to visit Kimetsu Academy for a bit, because Headmaster Ubuyashiki and Principal Nezu have struck a deal. There, they meet Class 1-1, who they are supposed to train with, and their homeroom teacher, Tomioka Giyuu.
Class 1-1 Roster (Hero Names subject to change)
Tanjiro: Sunfire
Zenitsu: Lightning Rod
Inosuke: Boar King
Aoi: TBD
Kanao: Serendipity
Genya: Buckshot
Muichiro: Mistwalker
Yuichiro: Moonshadow
Sabito: Jackrabbit
Makomo: TBD
Senjuro: Blaze
Hakuji: Frostfist
Rui: Threadmaster
Gyutaro: Mantis
Ume: Futodama
Teachers
Gyomei: Stoneheart: Ethics Teacher
Sanemi: Zephyr: Math Teacher
Giyuu: Wavebreaker: Homeroom Teacher
Obanai: Serpentine: Science Teacher
Kanae: Gossamer: English Teacher
Uzui: Flashbang: Art Teacher
Rengoku: Inferno: History Teacher
Mitsuri is not yet a teacher, as she only just graduated, but her Hero Name is Heartstring.
As for Shinobu, she’s part of Kimetsu’s Big Three, alongside Murata and Yushiro.
Now, onto the storyline so far!
So, classes meet, and apparently Giyuu and Aizawa have the exact same teaching style. It’s honestly a little disconcerting for their students, seeing basically a clone of their homeroom teacher from another school.
Now, I am a fan of Erasermic, so obviously that a thing here, and it’s 100% the reason why Yamada is present, but I also have plans. See, Class 1-1 has been on a mission since the start of the semester, and they are not giving up easily. Their mission, you may ask?
Getting Mr. Tomioka and Mr. Rengoku together. (Rengiyuu shippers rejoice)
It’s been… Less than successful thus far, unfortunately.
What about the villains, I hear you asking. What are they up to?
So-
Demon abilities aren’t actually the same as quirks. One of them is a result of experimentation in an effort to cure a genetic condition, and the other is a result of evolution. Not that All for One is aware of this. He’s been hunting after Muzan’s “quirk” for the past few centuries, and is the whole reason demons haven’t expanded beyond Shiri Island.
They’ve been taking potshots at each other since the dawn of quirks, and while the heroes are getting their slice of life parent trapping experience, the villains are in an all-out war with each other. So much so that they don’t even have time to deal with the heroes.
I’ll post more about this AU if ppl are interested in hearing more.
Excellent.
So, Shiri Island has always been a very isolated island, even more so than usual, on account of their demon infestation and what not, so no one actually knows what all goes on there. The graduates of Kimetsu Academy don’t really leave the island either, so it’s almost like its own mini country. It even has its own ranking charts!
Gyomei (Stone)
Sanemi (Wind)
Giyuu (Water)
Tengen (Sound)
Rengoku (Flame)
Obanai (Snake)
Kanae (Flower)
The Hashira each lead their own division on top of teaching at the Academy, though most administration is done by Ubuyashiki and his subordinates. The reason why the Hashira are required to teach at Kimetsu Academy is because the school serves as a training program and selection process for their various divisions. First years are usually subject to a number of screenings during their semesters, before beginning more specialized training in their second and third year. Moreover, they don’t really do sidekicks on Shiri. Everyone is under the Demon Slayer Corps, and while some less than pleasant individuals will claim that just means they’re all sidekicks to the Hashira, that’s not really how it works on the island.
I digress-
Now, demons aren’t publicly acknowledged. They’re treated as ordinary villains, albeit a lot more dangerous. Of course, this means the slayers can’t just behead them in broad daylight, so they’re all locked up in a prison deep inside Mount Fujikasane, under numerous layers of security, while Tamayo, who also serves as the school nurse, works on a cure.
So the school just has a massive prison behind it that also happens to double as the entrance exam location. Fun! That definitely won’t become a problem in the future. Definitely not.
I started this AU with a slice of life setting, but I like leaving myself options if I wanna change it up a bit. You know, just in case.
Speaking of wildly different settings-
I mentioned the villains being in a war, but I didn’t really elaborate on that. See, AfO has been after Muzan since the dawn of quirks because he wants the man’s quirk. Except it’s not a quirk. AfO is not aware of this, though.
And Muzan is using Infinity Castle to snipe at AfO when he least expects it. He’s not at all strong enough to go head to head with the boogieman of quirky society, so he either sends Kokushibo after him, or he messes with his Nomu research just because.
Ubuyashiki is aware of this, and has been using it to keep them both in check in a hilariously convoluted game of three-way chess.
