    Summary

    What if the Guardians of the Galaxy realized Earth was guarding two Infinity Stones—one year before Thanos' arrival?

    As the Avengers are called back into action, they must confront the rift left by the Civil War and learn to fight side by side once again. With more time to prepare, could they ultimately avoid the snap—and the losses that came with it?

    Joining the team is Cassandra “Cass” Gastaldi, a former Italian spy trained in a hidden monastery, where she was taught to bend the universe’s energy and summon the power of shadows. Cass has always worked alone—until crossing paths with a fugitive Steve Rogers. Their shared fight against Hydra draws her into the Avengers’ world, challenging her beliefs and opening the door to new alliances.

    As the final battle looms, Cass finds herself forging unexpected bonds, including a powerful connection with both Black Widow and Scarlet Witch—one that may bloom amidst the chaos of war.

    This is a candle-lit type of slow burn. I tried to write something that doesn’t cast aside plot as it builds relationships, to make every spark feel earned. It asks for a little patience, but aims to give something deeper in return.

    Summary

    After the fall of Sokovia, Natasha Romanoff and Wanda Maximoff are left trying to rebuild not just their team, but themselves. Wanda is grieving her brother and adjusting to life with the Avengers. Natasha is trying to move forward, still haunted by everything she’s lost.

    They form an unexpected friendship two people who understand pain too deeply, yet somehow bring out gentleness in each other.

    When a HYDRA remnant resurfaces months later, a mission sends them back into the shadows they thought they’d left behind. There, they find a child a baby who was never even given a name, used by HYDRA for experiments. Saving her becomes their turning point.

    They call her Amber because she’s the light they found in the dark.

    Together, they’ll learn to be mothers, partners, and family surrounded by the Avengers, who become uncles, and protectors of the little girl who changed everything.

    Summary

    This fic has four overlapping yet distinct arcs:

    Arc One: Four years after Sam Arias becomes the Director of the DEO, and two years after she marries Kara's sister, Kara finds a woman with psychic powers in an evil lair and secretly brings her home. As her new companion slowly remembers things, Kara's sister-in-law and niece become more and more suspicious.

    Arc Two: A failed assassination attempt leads to Kara and her new wife adopting four children who are more closely entwined with their pasts and futures than either realize, and Kara learns her aunt is also on Earth-- a discovery which makes her headaches far more frequent...

    Arc Three: Kara begins remembering parts of her childhood on Krypton she had forgotten, and now must fulfill a promise she made long ago. She receives ominous warnings of what is to come and discovers the future is very invested in her present.

    Arc Four: The rise of the House of Kieran-El.

    (This fic is currently over 500k words total, and new chapters will be posted twice a week on Saturday and Wednesday.)

    Summary

    Willa has always wanted to be saved. From the Dursley's, from her murderous professors, from the graveyard. And eventually that happens, just, not how she expected.
    --
    "My whole life, I have always had things expected of me. Now I'm finally free, never being asked anything, and yet, all i want to do is work to pay you all back, is that wrong?"

    Natasha shook her head, pulling Willa into her side, stroking her hair. "No, Darling, that's just the life you grew up with."

    Willa looked over to Bucky sitting across from her for confirmation. Bucky nodded, grabbing her hand with his flesh one, giving it a squeeze. "Just think of it as a bad habit to get out of, Doll."
