When Tony Stark's estranged younger sister moves into the Avengers Compound, everyone thinks they already know her- tabloid princess, arrogant genius, trouble wrapped in expensive leather. Natasha Romanoff doesn't do "new." She doesn't do "Stark." And she definitely doesn't do the kind of tension that follows Kat Stark down every hallway like a dare. But Kat isn't here to be welcomed. She's here to work, to fight, and to rebuild something she never got after her parents died- whether Tony deserves it or not. She flirts like she's fearless. Natasha freezes her out like she's immune. And the Compound- packed with history, secrets, and too many eyes- starts to notice a pattern neither of them can control. Two doors apart. One shared home. And a slow-burn collision that's going to get messy before it gets honest. Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel, the MCU, or any of the characters from those universes.

Landry De Blaise Van Haren wasn't supposed to make it this far. Born to a French duchess and an Army lieutenant general from New Orleans, she's spent her whole life caught between worlds. Part French aristocracy. Part Southern grit. Never fully fitting into either. Basketball was the one place that always made sense. After starting her college career on Iowa's women's team, Landry shocked everyone by transferring to the men's program. The criticism was loud. The pressure was worse. She kept playing anyway. Then life got in the way. A family crisis pulled her back to Paris just as her basketball career was taking off, forcing her to walk away from everything she'd worked for. Until the Phoenix Suns called. At twenty-six, Landry becomes the first female and first intersex athlete ever drafted into the NBA. Overnight, she's the biggest story in sports. And then, during her third game, a hard collision sends her flying courtside and straight into Kendall Jenner's lap. The clip goes viral. The internet loses its mind. And somehow, that ends up being the least complicated part of Landry's life. Now she's trying to survive the NBA, nonstop media attention, family expectations, and feelings she definitely wasn't planning on catching. Making history was supposed to be the hard part. Falling for Kendall Jenner might be harder.
