Summary
An alternate origin of SHIELD.
In the shadow of war, Dr. Deborah Levi – a Jewish scientist and survivor – finds herself at the center of Project Rebirth. As Steve Rogers steps into history, Deborah works in the silence he leaves behind: building the serum, founding SHIELD, and searching for those she cannot lose again.
Set during and after Captain America: The First Avenger, this story reimagines the origin of SHIELD, explores the personal cost of heroism, and tells the untold legacy of the woman who built the future — quietly, deliberately, and without permission.

In Zaun, nothing comes without a price—least of all power.
You're no stranger to surviving. To bartering body and silence for safety. But when a job places you directly under the eye of Zaun’s most dangerous man, the rules begin to shift. Silco doesn’t make idle threats—and he never repeats himself.What starts as a transactional arrangement soon becomes something far more complicated. He’s ruthless, calculating, and unreadable. And yet, behind the mask, something stirs—something fractured, something human.
As loyalty deepens and lines blur, you begin to realize the most dangerous thing in Zaun isn’t what Silco does to his enemies.
It’s what he awakens in you.

Summary
The Bratz aren’t just pretty faces—they’re survivors, rebels, and ride-or-die friends navigating messy family drama, queer identity, heartbreak, and real-life stakes that never fit inside a toy box.
After Yasmin’s diary is leaked, the Bratz fall headfirst into chaos: secrets exposed, friendships tested, crushes confessed, and a flight to Brazil. From high school to college, addiction, heartbreak, recovery, polyamorous love, rooftop parties, lawsuits, and every “I got you” along the way—this is the story of friendship, healing, and growing up in public.
Yasmin, Sasha, Jade, Cloe, and the crew grow up in the spotlight and the shadows—struggling with addiction, coming out, family pressure, lawsuits, and love that refuses to quit.
Through every betrayal, every breakup, every group chat meltdown, and every chaotic house meeting, they fight for each other and their chosen family. There’s no magic fix here: just messy healing, hard-won trust, and the stubborn joy of building something real.
It’s not always pretty. It’s not always safe. But it’s theirs.
Alwayz Bratz is the story of queer joy, real recovery, and friendship that outlasts the storm. If you know, you know.
