She was born from a name she never chose, into a war she never asked to fight. At Hogwarts, she's uptight. Known as SJ - quiet, guarded, and very good at disappearing. But there's a cat who slips through the castle some nights, curling up by the fire, listening to a red-headed menace ramble about explosions with his twin, and his life like she's the only one who'll ever really listen. He calls her pretty girl. He has no idea who she is. Fred Weasley has never met anyone he couldn't charm a smile out of - except, apparently, the sharp-tongued new girl who flinches when people get too close and vanishes the moment things get too personal. He doesn't know about the ring she can't take off, or the man who has deemed her worthy of his interest for intentional purposes. Some people are born into legacies. Sutton is trying to build a different one - out of borrowed families, stolen evenings by the fire, and a boy too stubborn to let her disappear. Blood is not a verdict. This is the story of everyone who tried to convince her otherwise - and the ones who never had to.

You moved into a new building four months ago. Closer to work, a great café on the corner, the park nearby. It was a good choice. Your neighbor in 4B is anything but close. Frank Castle is stubborn, quiet, gets in too late, and stares a little too much. His bruises don't come with explanations. His words are two syllables or less. And his arms are hard not to stare at... Lucky for you, his dog decided yours was his new best friend. And eventually, close enough stops being enough. * * * NO USE OF Y/N. medium-ish burn. This is NOT a lore/canon accurate punisher character study (no dead family/frank is just an asshole). pieces of MCU lore are cherrypicked and sprinkled throughout for gentle immersion, those characters i DO NOT OWN. Expect: neighbors, dogs, thin walls, grumpy Frank, mutual staring, questionable "security work," tension, feelings against everyone's better judgment, and eventually an absolutely irresponsible amount of smut.

When she comes home for summer, the one man who makes her feel safe is the one she can never have-her father's best friend, Frank Castle. Older, scarred, and fiercely protective, Frank tries to keep his distance. But in the hazy heat of long summers and stolen moments, forbidden desire begins to unravel them both. A slow-burn age-gap romance thick with tension, tenderness, and dangerous temptation. TW: heavy smutt, swearing, alcohol, cheating mentioned, age gaps, sex, slight violence.

Amelie came to Denmark on Carmy's recommendation, chasing a reset after burnout and disappointment in Chicago. Staging under Luca was supposed to be purely professional-early mornings, late nights, aching feet, and no emotional entanglements. But from the moment she stepped into his kitchen, everything became... complicated. Luca is calm where Amelie is chaotic, precise where she's impulsive, distant in all the ways that make her want to get closer. There are glances that linger too long, arguments that carry the sharpness of something unspoken, touches that happen too often to be accidental-but nothing crosses the line. Not officially. The kitchen becomes its own language: tension folded like laminated dough, sweetness hidden beneath structure, heat rising steadily between them. And Luca? He notices everything. The way Amelie handles her pastry. The way her breath catches when he leans too close. The way her walls come down, one slow crack at a time. The real problem? He wants her. But Luca doesn't break rules. Not his own. Not unless he already has. In the pressure cooker of a Michelin-starred kitchen, something always boils over. The only question is: when it does, will either of them survive the burn? ******** HI GUYS!! this is a brand new story that i wanted to try out and connect more with pastries and food i have tried so far since i am a passionate fan of cooking:)) please check out this brand new story that i am COOKING and share it with your friends ✨✨ i highly appreciate the support 😋
