"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald ~ Victoria Morana Kingsley is average in nearly every aspect of her life. She isn't a great fighter. She isn't a brilliant genius. She doesn't have the greatest paying career. And on top of it all, she's not the most social butterfly in the world. There is, however, one teensy tiny thing that separates her from your average human being. She can talk to the dead. Although, they're not the most stimulating source of conversation in the world. Necromancy is a magical art as old as time itself, and in a time of Gods, magic and super heroes, being discovered for what she is, is the last thing Tori wants. But upon finding a man with a metal arm collapsed in the snow on the side of the road - who five years prior tried to kill her - not being discovered for what she is becomes all that much harder. Throw a budding, complex romance into the midst, and you have the beginnings of a story of grisly chaos, black magic, old friendships, witch hunts, death of various kinds and irregular love. For true, unrequited love, is not finding someone who silences your demons, but whose demons dance well with your own. ***I obviously do not own any Marvel or comic characters. I only own Victoria, the plot, and a few characters that appear later on in the story. All rights are reserved to Marvel comics.

Sold to a facility at six years old to be raised as an assassin, Sweden-born Ruth Rogers was trained by whatever means necessary to become a lethal weapon. As she grew older, Ruth struggled with the reality that her memory had never been wiped like others around her but completed missions to obey the woman who commanded her. Ruth perfected her craft and quickly became known as the sly assassin Buzzkill. After suffering heavy losses, the facility was discovered and raided by SHIELD authorities. Before they could catch her, Ruth escaped SHIELD's reach and tried to live on her own for the first time in the eighteen years she's been alive. Feeling guilt for what she has done, Ruth agrees to aggressive experimentation to clear her record which ultimately results in devastating effects on her body and mind. Ruth struggles to survive as she continues to clear her conscience, becoming allies with the Winter Soldier in the process. Can Buzzkill and the Winter Soldier become strong enough to escape the place that controls them? Can they both learn to live with the consequences of their pasts while fighting their present demons? ************************************************************************************* Some characters, places, and agencies within the story belong to Marvel.
