The deal was simple: your family's social capital for his company's stability. A merger, not a marriage. Bruce Wayne was to be your charming, distant husband in public, and a ghost in the halls of Wayne Manor. You agreed to the charisma, the galas, the empty bed. You did not agree to the late-night conversations, the surprising kindness, or the way he looks at you when he thinks you can't see. The contract had clear terms, but no one warned you about the most dangerous clause of all: falling in love with the man behind the mask.

Gotham breeds secrets, and Detective Y/N L/N has made a career out of uncovering them. Sharp-eyed, relentless, and unafraid of the city's darkness, you've crossed paths with crime in every form-but never with something quite like him. The Batman. A figure of rumor and shadow, who always seems to be one step ahead of both the law and the criminals you hunt. When a case drags you deeper into Gotham's underworld, the line between detective and vigilante begins to blur. Bruce Wayne-aloof billionaire by day, dark knight by night-finds himself drawn to your fire, your refusal to back down. Trust is dangerous. Obsession, even more so. But in Gotham, where truth hides in the shadows, you might just be the only one who can see the man behind the mask...

To Gotham, you are a shadow with a bloody ledger-a ghost who breaks bones and leaves no name. To the Bat, you are a problem to be solved. To the Birds of Prey, a threat to be neutralized. But to Nightwing, you are the reflection he never expected to see. He watches you take a bullet meant for a civilian the cameras didn't show. He sees you cradle a stray cat in the rain after a brutal fight. He knows the line between light and dark is a spectrum, and you're painting in shades of grey he understands all too well. Now, with the entire hero community on your trail, Dick Grayson is the only one standing between you and a cage. The question is, can he convince them of the truth he sees so clearly, or will protecting you mean becoming an outcast himself?

What if it was never Peggy's picture in Steve Rogers compass, but her sister that had always held his heart... This is the story of Captain America and the other Carter Sister, who went down in history for their tragic love story during the midst of the Second World War. Set during The First Avenger. Marvel characters do not belong to me - just my own original characters.

After their attempt at escaping went wrong, Bucky and Dahlia were captured and sentenced to a lifetime with Hydra. After being placed in cryo-freeze, Bucky was forced to watch as Dahlia's fate was left undetermined. He didn't know if they killed her, if they tortured her, or if they just let her go. But he knew Hydra wasn't that forgiving. He knew they wouldn't let her off easy. So after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he buried himself in the past, trying to find out what happened to the woman that saved him. The woman he loved and would do anything for. The woman who kept him from withering even in the darkest of times. If he did find her one day, he knew he would never let her go. Not again. 𖦏 𑁍 𖦏 𑁍 𖦏 APART OF THE ❝SONG OF SEASONS❞ SERIES 1.

She worked for Hydra. Not because she believed in their cause, but because she was stuck there. Hydra wouldn't let Dahlia go; not when they realized she was the only person who could calm their most important asset down. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳. He was dangerous. Lawless. Ruthless. But when it came to Dahlia, he was suddenly enraptured. He could not hurt a single hair on her head- in fact, he would kill anyone who dared lay a hand on her. Because, despite the control Hydra had over him, the one thing they couldn't make him do was hurt her. 𖦏 𑁍 𖦏 𑁍 𖦏 APART OF THE ❝SONG OF SEASONS❞ SERIES 1. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬 ✓ [17 chapters] 2.
