"SO, BASICALLY," TONY RECAPPED after the Cap, "basically what Capsicle here means to say is that we aren't really ordering you, a small-time hairdresser, into rooming with the evillest supervillain of the universe who is also immortal and slightly--just a teensy bit--insane...what he means to say is that we are giving you an opportunity to save, not just one world, but worlds." Nazneen looked at the two men and one God in front of her with a quirked eyebrow. Tony quickly added with a charming smile, "Plus, Loki is handcuffed with this little baby I cooked up, cuts off his magic like a fuse, very genius of me, I know--okay, Dr. Selvig helped with like 12% of it. So, basically what we mean to say is...will you babysit Thor's little brother for the weekend while we go beat some baddies and clear the air? C'mon, what possible harm could come of this?" In which a small-time hairdresser gets entangled with what could be the biggest challenge to the Avengers just yet, while managing to piss off several Gods along the way.

Auburn Ivy runs away from her problems even if it means running away from her family, friends and familiar life. Anthony Kroff is a footballer on the rise but is lonely and lost in the new city he finds himself in. Their lives would have never intertwined if headstrong Auburn and shy Anthony hadn't chosen the same Friday to venture into a side-street cafe. For her it was an escape, for him it was curiosity and together they found something that they hesitated to call love because what if, after everything, they found themselves chasing fool's gold? Carlotta Garcia is the cafe owner and she is hell-bent on bringing them together but we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start at the very start or, if you want me to be truthful, at the very end, with Sabah Taqvi, a bored literature student and desperate romantic. Previously known as "Coffee Shop Love".

Someone is sending Megan Jackson the sweetest love notes and Megan Jackson is no great detective but she is not going to give up on finding the true identity of the person behind the notes. What she didn't envision was the amount of work it takes to apply the powers of deduction and detection to a seemingly easy problem. Well, she certainly hadn't planned on befriending a novice baker or stalking a potential answer. And maybe along the way, it won't matter who the answer is.
