    Summary

    Joel Miller is an infuriating constant in Alex’s life. As her dad’s best friend and smuggling partner, she can’t seem to avoid him no matter how hard she tries.

    When a weapons trade off goes wrong and Alex becomes the next target in a dangerous revenge vendetta, Joel is forced to uphold the promise he made to his friend to protect his daughter from the dangers of the post-apocalyptic world. But when Alex and Joel reluctantly grow closer, and she starts to peel back the layers of animosity between them, Alex realises that nothing is what it seems and that trusting Joel might be more dangerous than anything outside the QZ walls.

    Summary

    You never used to be this desperate. Never used to allow yourself to grovel at a man’s feet for him just to give you the smallest morsels of warmth in return. Yet, you found yourself lapping up each and every crumb.

    It was never supposed to even be him. It was Tommy that set his eyes on you on that godforsaken night at the bar—the night that turned to utter carnage.

    Yet now, you would do just about anything to have his brother look at you with the same warmth and wanting.

    You wanted to hate Joel Miller, wanted to feel nothing but disgust as you looked at him but you never could… and so in turn, you allowed him to ruin you over and over in every sense of the word.

    Summary

    Joel’s eyes were focused straight ahead, as if he didn’t want to look at you, to save you the embarrassment. You took the moment to watch the way his jaw flexed, a quirk you noticed he would do when he wasn’t quite sure what to say.

    Joel keeps going. “Well, if it’s any consolation, I think that you’re a real,” another awkward cough, ”real, sweet girl. Didn’t deserve to see any of that.”

    -

    Moonshine and infidelity are two things that don’t mix quite well. Witnessing your long-time boyfriend cheating on you sent you into a downward spiral, but what made it worse was that your crush, Joel Miller, was there with you when it happened. Joel’s sympathetic and compassionate nature only made things worse, and you found yourself quickly latching to him. For better, or for worse.

    Summary

    In a world where everyone had their soulmates' first words craved into their skin, they also knew that, despite some very unfortunate exceptions, everybody met their soulmate within their thirtieth year on Earth.
    So either Maria was one of those very painful oddities, or something wasn't quite right. Just to ease her mind, she wanted to check for anything S.H.I.E.L.D. had discovered about those bonds over the years. Out of curiosity and nothing more, that was what she told herself at least. Not because of something silly and naive like hope, nothing of the sort.
    But her usual luck led to a series of events that turned her entire world upside down, both because that was just her usual life nowadays, and also because, as Coulson and May put it, soulmates are supposed to shake up your entire life, Maria.
    Yeah well, maybe yes, but not like that.
    Not in the randomly-uncovered-an-old-conspiracy-while-looking-for-you kind of way.

    Or, Maria wants to prove she doesn't need her soulmate to be happy and ends up finding her along the way.
