There's no other word for it, she lies to everyone like it's a sport. Which is ironic, considering how much she hates being lied to. The only person who knows everything? Nicholas Fury, the man who had Ryan's files sealed and recruited her under heavily confidential circumstances. She works alone, in the dark, acting as SHIELD's personal cleaner of messes she never made. When strange things keep happening, Ryan uncovers a trail of corruption and bloodshed, all leading back to her. Without knowing who to trust, she has to keep sniffing out the truth on her own. Ryan is forced to stare her past in the face, realizing that she's not as in control as she would like. Will Ryan Knox continue to be a liar, or will she take a leap of trust and fight back like she was meant to? bucky barnes x f!oc (age gap) completed until doomsday

"There's something in the woods and it's far more dangerous than the dead." In which reality meets the impossible and blends with the haunting of folklore.

GENEVIEVE HADLEY, as a teenager, was constantly trying to grasp her parents' attention by getting into trouble and wrecking havoc. Never did she imagine that such trouble would lead to her getting pregnant at sixteen, but that's her story. Naturally, it disappointed her high-class parents so their solution to fixing "the problem" was to ship their only daughter off to Los Angeles to live with her Aunt Sue and her husband, Don. Nine months later, her daughter was born, and Genevieve had never felt such love in all of her life. The baby girl she named after herself reminded her that she was never the problem, that her parents were the ones that hurt her, and she promised to be the best mother to her daughter. Now she and her daughter are ten years older, living happily in Los Angeles, and after years of struggle, Genevieve finally has a stable job, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher under her aunt. To this day, she has never named the man whose eyes her daughter now reflects, only informing everyone that he was just some careless hookup from her class. She never named him solely because she didn't imagine she'd ever face him again, not when she was shipped days after discovering she was pregnant. But then, after a minor fire at Evie's school, she's greeted by a firefighter who she remembers as the boy that always called her by her surname. What's worse, he recognises her immediately as the girl who disappeared from his life ten years ago. Never did he think the reason she disappeared was because she was pregnant with his child- the child who he stares at now.
