    Summary

    “Isn't it lovely, all alone
    Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
    Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
    Hello, welcome home”

    The edge of the black and white image wrinkles under the pressure. His eyes are focused on the video screen in front of him. He catches sight of her hand traveling down to the base of her stomach, as an emotion passes over her face.

    Fear.

    His Natasha, pregnant and alone.

    Yes. Very familiar.

    “Bring her…” he whispers, “Home.”

    Or…

    It isn’t Natasha Romanoff’s first time running from the government. She used to spend her days alone, as paranoia determines her every move. But that was before the Avengers. It was before Clint. Steve. She didn’t have anyone to worry about. But now she’s here.

    Running from the government. Alone.

    Pregnant.

    Just as her past catches up with her.

    Summary

    Hermione is familiar with fighting: for respect, for attention, for justice. She’s even made a career of it; working on behalf of creatures and beings. But her battle against the Ministry’s marriage law is one she loses. Badly. And now, she has to contend with not only public derision and patriarchal politics, but her growing feelings for her government-mandated spouse.

    Summary

    “I appreciate the welcome.” But I’m afraid I cannot accept... That final statement is caught in the back of the captain’s throat as his chest tightened.

    There was a reason he’d come to the world of the living, and it wasn’t so he could spend time fraternizing with the humans who occupied it. It was important that he kept that single goal in mind. He couldn’t spend too much time here, seeing as there were more pressing matters for him to attend to. For as long as he stayed here, the tenth seat of the thirteen court guards would be vacant, leaving a major gap in the power controlled in the Seireitei.
