Sharon wasn't the only ghost Bucky, Sam, and Zemo met at that bar in Madripoor. [Spoiler Warning: Hattie's Boys takes place after Episode 3 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and follows along the plot thereafter]

It wasn't often anyone was able to get the drop on the very clever and witty Jacob Frye for any reason- especially in matters concerning poking fun at another or teasing. His quick tongue usually allowed him to easily befuddle and scathe others with his remarks, and seemingly always with that nonchalant, carefree smirk grazing his lips. When it came to the game of quick wits and clever remarks- one could always count on Mr. Frye to have some smart-arsed remark on any and all matters- as was his talent. However it would seem- there is another in the swirling masses of London that perhaps has a sharper tongue than he- a woman who seems to be even more fond of making fun and involving herself in mischief than Jacob is himself- and whose propensity for such activities seems to bring much more danger than anyone would assume simple merrymaking would entail- dangers all too close to home. And a woman who he simply cannot understand. (Jacob X F!Reader) (ON INDEFINITE HIATUS)

[DISCONTINUED] Known as the Shadow to most, Evelyne Bissette is one of the most powerful mutants alive. She is gifted with the strange and frightening ability to control shadows--the darkness that consumes everything, harbors ghosts, and is the creation of Hell. After an incident in the War Against Magneto, which Evelyne barely escaped, she found peace and safety in the woods, far away from all battling and danger. But that serenity is disrupted when, after a reunion with the supposed-dead Charles Xavier and the rest of the New X-Men, Evelyne finds herself a prisoner of the one organization she fears most-S.H.I.E.L.D. Then the New X-Men's empty jet crashes into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hellicarrier, carrying a dirty memory stick that will change her life. On it is a video of a fiery man who calls himself the Inferno-an extraterrestrial force who has captured the New X-Men and plans on ridding the Earth of all mutants and superheroes. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it means purging the Earth of life itself and starting anew. Evelyne is forced to join forces with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new Initiative to save the entire mutant species, and those who she loves most. But this is one fight that humanity and mutants alike may not win. * * * The Shadow Chronicles: Book One - When I Fell (In Progress) Book Two - Those Who Remain Book Three - The Last Of Us Beautiful cover by @redblacklady!

We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast. This story follows the outline of the traditional story pretty well with some changes to make it seems more real, more intense, and not such a fairytale. There's a Mansion secluded in the thick forest south of town that Isabelle happened to run into one very stormy night. Denied help from the Master, but aided by the servants, she finds her life intertwined with theirs and there's nothing she can do to stop it. The Master is horrible - beastly. He's powerful, and manages to put Isabelle under a spell of his own. A story of two people learning about themselves by falling in love with the other. Here's my version of Beauty and the Beast.

"She was the girl who longed for the freedom of the dragon, and he was the dragon who longed to be a man." A heroine reclaiming her fate. A dragon with a secret. A prince on a quest. Olivia flees to the forest seeking freedom from her family's demands. She finds refuge in a cave, only to discover it is a dragon's lair. The dragon, Kaden, is not the monster she first thinks him to be. After overcoming her initial fright - of not being eaten - Olivia discovers that the dragon has a gentle heart. Kaden is resigned to loneliness after centuries of wandering the lands. Meeting Olivia brings joy to his solitary life, and never has he dreamed that a young woman would be the one to start the change in him. A storm brews on the horizon. A prince with a handsome face and a cruel heart is on a quest to slay the dragon, and take the throne. He will do whatever it takes to have what he believes is his to own. And now, he has his eyes set on the pretty little maiden from the forest. He will make her his Queen, whether she wants it or not. © by Maya_2011/Maya Starling

"His mother's screams remained etched in his mind. He promised himself that night he would never again stand by as people he cared for suffered, and he would one day kill Volcseck. He intended to keep those promises." Falcon Hyatt has a problem. For reasons unknown to him he can wield all the elements, not only basics like fire and water, but also those more advanced, like space and poison. And now the chaos element, the same one his parents' killer Shal-Volcseck wields, has awakened within him, with catastrophic results. To complicate matters, the Suteckh Empire has declared war on the capital cities of Va'siel. Now he must venture out into the world with his friends Lao, Faith, and Aya on a mission to stop the Suteckh from taking over Va'siel, and find his parents killer, as all the while he struggles to suppress his newfound abilities. In his quest Falcon is forced to question what he's really fighting for, where his loyalties lie, and his own character. Is he truly a good person, or an even more dangerous menace than the dreaded Shal-Volcseck? Element Wielder is the story of faith, love, and a young man's struggle to continue on his quest, when surrendering to his emotions and giving up is so much easier.
