The Architect: a sequel to The Designer Farah Auren has built a life worth protecting. Now someone with her face-and none of her heart-is tearing it apart. As fractures ripple through the world she's only just begun to trust, Farah Auren must face the mind behind the chaos: a precise, relentless architect with no empathy and no reason to stop. Bob sees it first. Because sometimes, the greatest threat isn't a stranger. It's who you could've been.

Lyra F. Wren was never meant to be a symbol: just a girl with daggers in her hands and grief in her veins. But when the New Avengers call, she answers. Hardened by survival, softened by unexpected connection, Lyra finds herself entangled with the last man she thought she'd understand: John Walker. In a world still healing, two broken souls learn that sometimes, the sharpest edges make the brightest light. Set in the same universe as The Designer & The Architect.

BOB "SENTRY" REYNOLDS x FEM!OC Farah Auren never asked to be a hero. As a reclusive tech designer who once worked alongside the old Avengers, her genius helped shape the gear that saved the world without ever setting foot on the battlefield. But when she's called in to join the new Avengers initiative, Farah is thrust into a world she thought she'd left behind. There, she meets Bob Reynolds, a powerful enigma with a dark past of his own. What begins as professional distance slowly unravels into something deeper, forcing Farah to confront the ghosts of her history, her grief, and the question she's avoided for years.
