    Summary

    In attempting to define a precise plan of action in response to the particular piece of unexpected news she had recently (six months still qualified as recent, in relative terms, didn’t it?) received, Hermione did the only thing she knew would calm the tornado which was currently whirling about her stomach.

    She made a list.

    Pro: Any traits a person could hope for in the father of one's offspring are admittedly present in the man who has assisted in creating this one.
    Con: However many admirable traits he may possess, the aforementioned co-creator is still, to his detriment, Draco Malfoy

    Summary

    A Marvel Cinematic Universe FanFiction

    While the Winter Soldier was a ghost story, Nadine Ryker is a ghost. She's The Ghost. Her past is a mystery, her identity even more so.

    Few knew her as Nadya Ivanovna Rykova, the lost recruit of the Red Room, never spoken of after her disappearance. But she got along just fine, hiding away with her secret life, re-emerging only to take contracts that few others are willing to take.

    To hunt other Assassins.

    But when she's contracted to take out Black Widow? Her long ago 'little sister'?

    Her life and her secrets all begin to unravel.

    ***

    This story is effectively split into two parts, with Part I focusing on themes of the price of secrets, family, self-acceptance and finding somewhere to belong, with the Steve/OC romantic sub-plot beginning in earnest in Part II.

    Part I starts just before Avengers: Age of Ultron and Part II starts shortly after AoU ends and goes through to just beyond Captain America: Civil War.

    Warning!! It is a *VERY SLOW BURN*

    Companion Story to "Haven" (formerly called 'Please Stay') and, though highly recommended, it's not necessary to have read it to enjoy this one!

    Summary

    Margaret Stark is five years old when the Winter Soldier comes for her and her parents. But she survives the attack and is returned to her brother, though she's left broken and traumatised. She grows with a promise she made to herself on the night of the car crash. A mission.

    This is the story of Maggie forging herself into her own hero, into something that no one expects: The Wyvern.

    ~

    Eventual Bucky/OC.

    AU of my other work, 'The Wyvern'. Recommend checking that out first but you don't have to.

    Summary

    Her mission was simple: retrieve the Winter Soldier and return him to HYDRA.
    Alive, if possible. Dead, if it meant she didn’t fail.

    But nothing about James Buchanan Barnes is simple. Not the way he looks at her. Not the way he carries the title of weapon like a wound. Not the way her suit trusted him more than it ever trusted her.

    He spares her life. And she makes the mistake of letting him keep his.

    Now they're running—together. From HYDRA, from the Avengers, from every power on Earth that wants them back in chains. Every road behind them is soaked in blood. Every road ahead is a dead end.

    And somewhere in the middle of it, he touches her like he’s afraid to break her.
    Like she’s not a weapon.
    Like he isn’t either.

    Where do they go, when there's nowhere left to run?

    And what does it mean to be human, when you were never meant to be?

    A post-CATWS slow-burn character epic. Bucky/OC. Trauma, trust, and the long road to something like love.

    Trilogy of Trilogies.
