"𝓘𝓷 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮, 𝓘'𝓭 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓭 𝓶𝔂 𝔀𝓪𝔂 𝓫𝓪𝓬𝓴 𝓽𝓸 𝔂𝓸𝓾." Before the serum. Before the shield. Before the world knew the name Captain America, Steve Rogers had already given his heart away. Her name was Margaret Sinclair. They were young, hopelessly in love, and dreaming of a future that the war had no intention of giving them. While Steve fights to save the world, Margaret waits for the boy she promised forever to-holding onto letters, memories, and the hope that love can survive even the cruelest distance. But time changes everything. Years become decades, legends are born, and some promises are left unfinished. Yet no matter how much the world moves forward, one truth remains: Steve Rogers never stopped loving his first love.

"𝓡𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓶𝓫𝓮𝓻 𝓶𝓮." There were two princes in Asgard. One was born to be king. The other was destined to become a villain. Astrid Eirsdóttir grew up beside them both, racing through the golden halls of the palace, sparring beneath endless skies, and finding comfort in the royal library with the quiet prince who hid behind clever smiles and sharper words. Everyone believed she and Thor were inseparable. Everyone except Thor. Thor had always known the truth. She belonged beside Loki. For centuries, Loki insisted he couldn't stand her. No one believed him. Not Frigga. Not Thor. Certainly not Astrid. But kingdoms fall, secrets are uncovered, and love is never simple when it's tangled with fate. As the God of Mischief walks a path toward darkness, Astrid must decide whether to save the realm... or save the boy she has loved since childhood. Because sometimes the greatest act of mischief... is loving someone the world has already given up on.

Born only one minute after Elena Gilbert, she grew up watching her sister become the center of Mystic Falls while she stayed hidden in the background - quieter, sharper, and far less trusting. People think they know the Gilbert family story, but nobody really knows Callie. She's unpredictable, guarded, and always carrying the feeling that something about her is... different. Strange things happen when her emotions spiral, but she ignores the signs, convincing herself it's all in her head. Then she meets Elijah Mikaelson - and from the very beginning, they clash. He's calm where she's impulsive, controlled where she's chaos, and their constant arguments quickly turn into dangerous tension neither of them understands. Mystic Falls is filled with secrets, but Callie might be the biggest one of all. Elijah Mikaelson x fem! oc trope: enemies to lovers, [he fell first, she fell harder]

"𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷'𝓽 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾." They buried her. At least, that's what everyone believed. In 1864, Genevieve Hawthorne was Damon Salvatore's wife-the one person he loved before vampires, before bloodshed, before eternity turned him into a monster. Then she died. Or so he thought. Over a century later, Damon has built a life around a ghost. A memory. A woman he never stopped mourning. Until she walks back into Mystic Falls. Alive. Unchanged. Wearing the same wedding ring he placed on her finger all those years ago. But Genevieve isn't the woman Damon remembers. She's carrying secrets, scars, and a past far darker than the one she left behind. And while Damon wants answers, Genevieve wants something else: The truth. Because if Damon spent 145 years believing she was dead... Someone made sure of it. And some stories don't end. They rewind.
