I was looking through my old writing and found a Once Upon A Time AU of Infinity War/Endgame where Thanos, to prevent the Avengers from undoing his work, transports all of them to an alternate reality.

Ben Braley’s record and comic store is about to go bankrupt, so he and his nephew Oliver Thompson plan a fundraising event as a last ditch effort to keep the store afloat. As they assemble more and more people to help out, though, the pair begin to notice some unexplainable phenomena in their town. Their confusion is only augmented by uncanny resemblance these events share to their favorite comics—and the resemblance they themselves share to Peter Quill and Spider-Man. Armed with a Marvel Cinematic Universe box set, the pair attempt to unravel the mysteries behind their town’s cheery facade.

Also featuring:

David Tougard, a failing chef who runs the local diner. The town jokes that in another life, he could have been a model: his long blond hair is the envy of the town.

Eric Giese, a librarian and David’s roommate. He’s a regular at Ben’s shop, often purchasing comics for the library. For some reason, he perks up whenever Ben mentions Thor. He’s one of the first townspeople to jump on the opportunity to help recruit people for the fundraiser.

Nicholas Noble, Oliver’s stepdad and the town mechanic.

Elias Graydon, a local doctor.

The mayor James Boyd, a monster of a man who always seems to get his way even though he’s rarely seen in public. Some speculate he doesn’t live in town at all.

And a bunch of other Marvel characters
