Steve and Bucky rekindle their old relationship in this long-awaited novella about love, patience, and the value of having super-soldier cells running through your veins. Can they bridge the gap between each other, but more importantly, can they defend each other from the other survivors desperate to complete their last missions? We'll find out in True North, another fanfiction written and edited by @ravenbeechwood. [In Progress]

When ambition meets desire, nothing is off limits. Kaito Neuenfeldt is a ruthless businessman who never plays by anyone else's rules, and he never marries for love. But when his fiercest competitor, Jeremiah Aguaviva, proposes an outrageous deal, marry his daughter, Hyara Aguaviva, and inherit his entire empire, Kaito is intrigued. Hyara, graceful, intelligent, and fiercely independent, has always lived in the shadow of her father's world. She never expected that the mysterious, magnetic man she only knew by reputation would enter her life and her heart with such force. As Kaito steps into her world under the guise of a personal assistant, the boundaries of business, family loyalty, and desire begin to blur. What starts as a strategic arrangement slowly ignites into something dangerously irresistible, and both are forced to question what they truly want-and how far they're willing to go to get it. A tale of power, passion, and temptation, The Marriage Bargain explores the intoxicating collision between control and surrender, love and ambition.

A possible future in less than 500 words, if plastic wins. This was my entry for the WattPad/National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic competition back in late 2018. It reached their Top 10 Submissions which, given that there appeared to be well over 5000 entries, was a very pleasant surprise! The competition itself had a limit of 500 words so, for those who keep asking if I intend continuing the story, the answer (for now!) is no - unless I can find a very good reason for adding any more. Many thanks to everyone reading and voting on this story and getting it to number 1 in the #sciencefiction category in May/June 2020! I did try to thank the voters individually on their pages but Wattpad have a daily limit on the number of times I'm allowed to do that and there are now too many of you (not that I'm complaining)! Here's the top 10 submissions page: https://www.wattpad.com/list/738243473-planetorplastic-top-10-submissions If you want to read the story in Polish please head over to https://www.wattpad.com/story/236405960-m%C4%85dro%C5%9B%C4%87-staro%C5%BCytnych-t%C5%82umaczenie-pl where @juliatlumaczy has done a fine job - thank you, Julia! @juliatlumaczy has now sent me a version of the cover she used for her Polish translation - thanks again, Julia! @alex_sokolova has also translated the story into Russian as well. You can read that here: https://www.wattpad.com/976002417-мудрость-древних - many thanks, Alex! We now have a third translation! @AlfonsoLucassen has kindly translated it into Spanish and you can find it here: https://www.wattpad.com/1063634347-la-sabidur%C3%ADa-de-los-antiguos
