[1ST PLACE WINNER, BEST OPENING, AND BEST PROTAGONIST OF THE CREATOR'S CHOICE AWARDS 2020] In a world of gods and aliens falling to the Earth from the sky, Kennedy Jacobson was simply an agent of SHIELD - one of the best Nick Fury could find. Throughout her years of work, she rose through the ranks, becoming one of the most esteemed agents SHIELD had to offer. But Kennedy had a secret that lied in her past: one that brought her to the States in the first place, and one she was desperate to hide. When Kennedy is tasked with recruiting Captain America as a part of SHIELD, she begins to question everything about the life and the job she thought she once understood. As friendships are put to the test and trust is broken, Kennedy must find out who she is underneath the layers of secrecy and decide whether her voice is truly something worth sacrificing. • • • PG-13 SLOWBURN + ANGST, SOME VIOLENCE [end of avengers - avengers endgame] Started: 08/2019 Published: 29/07/2020 Finished: 10K Reads: 25/05/2021 ↳1st Place Winner for TCCA 2020 ↳Best Opening Award for TCCA 2020 ↳Best Protagonist Award for TCCA 2020 Best Rankings #1-freethepoc #1-tws #2-steverogersfanfiction #12-civilwar #14-blackwoman #57-avengers #60-action-adventure ©midnightcafes 2020

COMPLETED SEQUEL to "A Lasting Legacy" "...A taste can be worse than never having any..." It's been almost a decade since Lady Arden took her rightful place as ruler of Ardor and things have never been better. In record time, she turned a vast jungle into a prosperous and bustling kingdom. No longer do the other races look down upon her and her kin as homeless and unwanted nomads, instead they see a powerful and rich culture rooted in the land. While the new Queen has made many allies, the secret of Ardors' wealth has been well kept, making her worry over who would protest her reign should it come to light. However an even bigger issue than the truth of Ardors' wealth presents itself, as the orcs that once threatened her and Thranduil have become an even bigger problem. They have grown bolder and carried out more attacks against both the woodland elves and the jungle elves, necessitating that the 2 rulers come together once more and finally slay the filth. But Arden will need to overcome her animosity with Thranduil by finally answering the correspondences he has sent in vain for years. Once she does will Thranduil be able to admit his true feelings for her? Will she accept them? And will both kingdoms finally be able to move forwards together, creating a permanent Lineage for its people? *should not be read as a stand-alone* September 10th, 2019

COMPLETED story with a COMPLETED SEQUEL; "A Permanent Lineage" *40 chapters overall! '...She had dreamt of what his lips would feel and taste like for literally centuries and they didn't disappoint. The first touch of her lips on his was like a taste of water after years in the desert...' The war of the ring is over. Lady Arden of Ardor belongs to an ancient line of powerful half-breed Elves. Rumors hint at what their powers could possibly entail but no one knows for sure. Some say they are clairvoyant and others proclaim them to be shapeshifters. Many say both. One thing is for sure; all of Middle Earth fears them. But the war could not have been won without their aid and now the cursed line is asking for acceptance. No longer do they want to wander the forests endlessly, moving from kingdom to kingdom as permanent nomads. Now they call for a meeting between the fellowships' 5 bloodlines, requesting a permanent lineage and kingdom. There are just 2 problems that hinder lady Arden from finally receiving the honor her and her kin deserve. 1. The kingdom they wish to call theirs borders Mirkwood forest. 2. The king of Mirkwood is not so inclined on being neighbors with cursed creatures, especially their queen. Raised to look down upon anything not of full elvish form, Thranduil is enraged by the audacity of the creature and her people who have plagued his borders for centuries. However many do not know that the 2 were once inseparable. Long ago the 2 elvish races lived in peace until tragedy struck. Ever since then, Thranduil has hated Arden and her people with a passion. When it comes down to the last vote, it is none other than Thranduil who holds their future in his hands. Will he take advantage of Arden in the process of deciding? Will Arden finally be able to change his mind and in the end gain something more eternal than a legacy?

The relationship between Thranduil and Tauriel after the Battle of the 5 Armies. How Tauriel is dealing with the aftermath of the battle as she goes back to Mirkwood and realizes that she has always wanted Thranduil's love and affection in her life. It turns out there has been more behind their turbulent relationship than they let themselves believe. The story follows their relationship from the days and weeks after the battle to many years later, during the events from LOTR and after. I absolutely loved their chemistry in the Hobbit and this is my first fanfic. I tried to keep the characters as close to the movie versions as I could (since Tauriel only appears in the movies and Thranduil's personality is only vaguely presented in the books). I am also including info about what happened to Thranduil's realm after the Hobbit from the LOTR book appendices... There will also be feasts and celebrations along the way! #partykingthranduil Rated mature for some chapters. #thrandiel #1 in thranduilfanfic #6 in Tauriel

Voldemort intended the object to be used by his most loyal follower in the event that his horcruxes were destroyed, but it ended up in Hermione's possession instead. She knows she has to kill him. Steal his horcruxes. Destroy him. But Tom Riddle isn't who she thought he was. Hermione discovers it's a dark descent into the madness of the man she should hate, but can't. When she realizes Tom Riddle's soul is half of her own, she knows she can't destroy him. To kill him would be to destroy herself. There simply has to be another way.

"Are you implying that I am responsible for Voldemort's actions?" Dumbledore's voice had finally turned cold. "No, I'm saying you're responsible for neglecting a young boy! You treated him with nothing but suspicion and coldness, and when he grew up suspicious and cold you took that as confirmation that you were always right about him." "I assume you have a reason for laying these heavy charges at my feet," said Dumbledore quietly. She sighed. "I just think... maybe you should take your own advice and try to solve this problem with love, not destruction. You don't have to destroy a Horcrux. You can heal it." "You speak of remorse," Dumbledore didn't sound impressed. "If I may, I see very little chance of convincing Voldemort to feel empathy for the things he has done -" "Not Voldemort," she interrupted. "Tom." "You are suggesting that we use Voldemort's first Horcrux to reanimate sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle." Dumbledore's tone left much to be desired. ✨Reposting from Ao3 and ff.net!!✨
