Valen has been Hydra's pet for years. As the Avengers take down base after base, they find the tiny, defenseless looking girl. Only she is far from that. - This is an alternate universe story. It does not follow any specific timeline.

Twenty-three-year-old Sadie Bennett has spent the last five years turning her breakdowns into chart-topping lyrics. As the lead singer of the wildly controversial girlband Crying During Sex, Sadie is famous for three things: saying the wrong thing all the time, writing songs cruel enough to feel true, and looking completely out of control while doing it. The internet calls her a genius. The tabloids call her unstable. Most days, she isn't sure which one is worse. Then one sarcastic comment at an awards show turns into the headline heard around the world. Now Sadie and her band are trapped in a vicious public feud with 5 Seconds of Summer-especially Luke Hemmings, the frustratingly calm frontman who seems to understand fame in all the ways she wishes he didn't. Fans pick sides overnight. Every glance becomes clickbait. Every interview becomes a performance. And when their labels force them into the same orbit for the sake of publicity, the line between hatred and obsession starts to blur. But behind sold-out shows and flashing cameras, Sadie is unraveling quietly. Panic attacks. Sleepless nights. The unbearable pressure of becoming a person the world has already decided she is. And Luke may be the only one who notices. As scandals explode and the industry tightens its grip, Sadie is forced to confront the terrifying question beneath every headline: Who is she when nobody's watching?

❝ inside every one of us a shadow side, i call it my better side.❞ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ When Pearl embarks on its most ambitious tour yet, lead singer June Evans is hanging on by a thread. She's sick of compliance- the meds, the therapy, the sobriety, the emotional chasm that comes with being okay. What she really craves is an excuse to fall apart. She doesn't expect that excuse to come in the form of the beautifully tragic lead singer of The Neurotics. Luke Hemmings has a secret, though. He's been sickeningly obsessed with June for years before they even met- before a joint tour between Pearl and The Neurotics was even a possibility. But when they find that their broken pieces align perfectly together, the clock to their mutual destruction begins to tick. Is it really worth it to love someone to death?

𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋 Eden Mavis believes in control. She leads the Eclipse Division with discipline, precision, and the conviction that justice must follow the law.
