    Summary

    "So you hate me?" She asked playfully.

    "Of course, isn't that what we do, hate each other?"

    The smile grew enough for dimples to appear. "I guess so."

    "So yes, I hate you."

    "I hate you too," she still smiled.

    Draco couldn't help it, his lips tugged slightly at the corners while laughter stayed restrained in his glimmering eyes.

    "Good, I'm glad that's established," Draco announced. "We hate each other."

    A miserable childhood of neglect, Harper Potter needed someone to teach her the ability to love in order to overcome the darkest wizard of all time. She just wasn't expecting that someone to be the guy who taunted her every quidditch match.

    Summary

    Soulmates were for children. They were nothing more than fairy-tales that filled movie screens and the pages of books; and Hell's Kitchen, with its blood, violence and screaming, was too far from Hollywood for the fantasy to be real. Matt knew he'd never meet his other half. He knew they'd be better off without him. He knew this, wholeheartedly.

    Until, of course, he didn't.

    Summary

    The year is 1946. The world is still licking its wounds from a war that made many question humanity itself.

    Frank Castle might have survived WWII, but it haunts him relentlessly... as does the death of his family. He has no family, no home, no future that he can see. Each day is simply an exercise in putting one foot in front of the other.

    In a last desperate grab for purpose disguised as a whim, he joins a circus. And his life begins to hold meaning once again.

    Or,

    Frank runs away from home and joins a circus.
