Joaquin's eyes softened just a touch, his usual teasing mask slipping for a brief moment. "You don't need to lower your standards, Mads. You just need to find someone who's worthy of them." The words hit her unexpectedly, stirring something she couldn't quite put her finger on. She blinked, quickly shaking her head and trying to deflect. "What, like you, Torres?" she joked, hoping to push the shift in the conversation away. Joaquin's lips curled into a small, almost hesitant smile, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he leaned back against the pillows, seemingly content to let the quiet hang between them. Madyline couldn't quite shake the feeling that there was something unsaid, something in the air that neither of them was quite ready to address. *** 《Joaquin Torres x Fem OC》 《Captain America: Brave New World》 《Post CA:BNW》 《Slow Burn》 《Friends to Lovers》 *** Content Warning: This book contains sexual content, violence, death, and other mature themes.

You never planned on falling for someone like him. Too loud. Too golden. Too hopeful. You were a pediatric surgeon-calm, efficient, and emotionally detached. You healed children. You ignored their parents. You came home to silence and preferred it that way. Until the night he showed up at your door, bleeding and stubborn, holding a terrified little boy in his arms. Lieutenant Joaquín Torres was supposed to drop off the kid and disappear. But he stayed. He stayed when you needed quiet. He stayed when you told him to go. And without even trying, he reminded you what it felt like to be seen-not just as a surgeon, but as a person who still had a heart. You weren't looking for chaos. But he brought it anyway. And maybe, just maybe... you didn't mind. ✧ AUTHOR'S NOTE I don't own any Marvel characters. All original characters and plotlines are mine. Enjoy 🤍

The Flash is recovering after Zoom's attack (the events of 2x06 Enter Zoom). What's better than a trip to New York City with his friends to remind him that he's also Barry Allen? If Cisco chooses Hell's Kitchen for his own reasons, no one needs to know. Matt Murdock is having the time of his life, balancing being a lawyer, a vigilante, a friend and a fiancé. What could possibly go wrong? The answer is: a lot.

How to deal with your fiancée almost getting voluntarily buried alive under a building together with his basically dead ex; a manual by V.M.: 1) freak out 2) take off the ring 3) run 4) find another vigilante at whose couch you can crush on 5) think about what happened as little as possible, or, well, try . . 10) think about your next move... eventually - Crying and punching things is allowed in and between each step of the plan. A crossover with Arrow. Slightly heavier than the summary. Set right after All Roads Lead to Hell (aka the Defenders rewrite).

In the time of crisis, it seems the Avengers are never there for them. To make up their previous and possibly future absence, they want to offer a late engagement gift or an early wedding one. Their new member, the Scarlet Witch, might be able to help with that. Yes, it's another 'Matt can see fic'. Yes, there is fluff and a bit of smut. Because I felt like it. Technically part of the 'Damned' verse, easily read as a standalone (especially the first part).

-.-.- Part of the Damned series -.-.- "Are we still getting married?" Oh, Vera had no clue what madness she was starting when asking Matt that question. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to regret it. To be fair, it was her idea not to leave anyone uninvited in the first place. Aka Vera and Matt are (finally) getting married and have a ton of friends wishing to help them... and annoy them. Alternative title: The Wedding Mess. Daredevil, The Defenders, Arrow, The Flash.

After moving to Hell's Kitchen, settling down and somehow winning the sympathy of the Devil, Vera is happy. There were sure more than a few bumps on the road, but now they are all overcome and she has an amazing (a little reckless and a little much heroic) boyfriend, couple of good friends, steady job and relative non-bloody calm. But this is Hell's Kitchen: its guardian angel is called the Devil and he has issues of his own. There is no non-bloody way of doing things there - after all, she learnt that in a hard way before.

The last book of the Damned series. It starts with a death. It continues with another one. And one more. Death is the end. But it can also be a beginning. She can't live with what happened. But just before she takes her own life, Phil Coulson pays her a visit in prison with an offer. She accepts. She dies. And a SHIELD agent of whom very few people know where she came from lives and joins the Bus. Set in season one of Agents of SHIELD, the second chapter starts with s01e07.

In which Matt finally meets the family, pets Brett, attends a wedding, reveals some of his less dark secrets and gives yet another reasons to be loved for. Basically an excuse to write a shameless fluff. With just a little bit of smut. Set after the epilogue of Damned If I Don't.
