    Summary

    Bruce is not great at relationships, both too focused and too inconsistent, but he’s been pretty honest about that, and it’s not like Nat’s really in this town to stay. He gives her until winter, when the nor’easters out of Canada dump a whole lake’s worth of snow right at your front door. It's for the best; he has a tendency to lean on people until he crushes them. But in the end, she's always been a bruiser; everyone she's ever loved has the scars to prove it.

    Summary

    Tucked against a set of crumbling, stone steps was a tank made of metal and glass, filled to the brim with greenish water, distorted sunlight filtering through and casting strange shadows. Playing tricks on the eye. A trick was the only explanation for what Steve saw floating there. This figment of his childhood. This myth. This legend.

    Within the tank, the siren bared its teeth.

    Summary

    It's said that every soul is connected to another by a red thread, and that these two souls are destined to meet. The thread, though it may tangle or stretch, will never break. That's not your experience, lucky or unlucky enough as you are to see the strings that bind people together. A red thread is developed and grown, not born, and you've worked hard to weed out any semblance of crimson that might cling to you. You pay your bills, you keep your head down, and you find whatever lost people or items you're hired to sniff out.

    Then the Devil of Hell's Kitchen tags along on a job, and your plan falls apart.

     

    Starts prior to Into the Ring, and loosely follows the canon timeline. There is eventually smut, so enter at your peril. Reader is never physically described but uses a false name and may be treated as an OC.
