A MCU fanfic A first-person journey through the life of Avery Stark. Kidnapped by Hydra. Rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D. Marked as a threat. Avery Stark never asked to be part of this world. But after years in Hydra's grip and a fragile recovery under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s watch, Nick Fury makes a decision that changes everything: she's to be relocated - not just anywhere, but to the one place she swore she'd never belong. The Avengers. Dropped into a tower full of legends, Avery is forced to confront old ghosts, reunite with the only people she's ever trusted - Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton , and face the truth about who she is... and what she might become. Told through Avery's eyes, Shielded Hearts explores trauma, survival, and the raw, messy path to healing - all in the shadow of gods, soldiers, and geniuses.

Whether you've made it a few pages in or all the way to the end, I'm so grateful you picked up Shielded Hearts. This story means a lot to me. It's messy and emotional and a little chaotic - kind of like Avery herself. Through her, I've poured out parts of grief, healing, found family, and that deep ache of feeling like you don't quite belong... until suddenly, you do. If you've ever felt like the world was too loud, like your past was too heavy, or like you were just trying to make sense of where you stand - this story is for you. And you're not alone. Please take care of yourself while reading. And when you need to take a break - do. I'll be here when you're ready to come back. ⭐️Tik tok account: abigail.skl 🎹Spotify play list for the book : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0pfrmkeihro9BWfXKdzyfI?si=EEgOTi3QQhW-6Rluh1j97w&pi=w_Sk86N1TI2Zt
