"I'm not made for this life, I can't live the way I'm not supposed to." [mature themes throughout] disclaimer - this does not follow any specific timeline in the MCU, everyone is alive unless stated!!

Dr. Victoria Rowan Hayes has spent her life being the person everyone turns to when everything falls apart. Known as "Viper," Victoria is PTMC's Chief of Trauma Surgery - a former Army trauma surgeon whose skill, precision, and ability to stay calm under impossible pressure have made her a legend. But behind the reputation is a woman carrying scars no one sees. After years treating the wounded on the battlefield, Victoria leaves the Army following an injury that leaves her with lasting pain and nerve damage. Refusing to risk a patient's life by ignoring her limitations, she begins a new chapter at PTMC. Her fresh start is complicated by the past she left behind: her divorce from Dr. Alexander Whitmore, the former Chief of Orthopedic Surgery, after his affair with a younger resident shattered their marriage. At PTMC, Victoria finds an unexpected friendship with Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch. Together, they become the hospital's strongest trauma team - two doctors who understand the burden of saving lives while carrying their own scars. To everyone else, she is Dr. Hayes. To Robby, she is Vic. Then there is Jack Abbott. Jack knows the legend before he knows the woman. He expects the intimidating trauma chief called Viper. Instead, he discovers someone compassionate, loyal, and far more vulnerable than she allows anyone to see. As their professional respect turns into something deeper, Victoria must learn that strength doesn't mean carrying everything alone. Sometimes, the strongest thing a person can do is let someone help carry the weight.

The Place Where People Break The emergency department had its own heartbeat. It wasn't the sound of the monitors. It wasn't the alarms. It wasn't the endless footsteps rushing across the polished floors. It was something else. Something only the people who worked there understood. The knowledge that at any moment, the doors could open and someone's entire life could change. For some people, the emergency department was terrifying. For others, it became home. Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center was both. A place where people arrived broken. And where everyone inside learned how to carry pieces of them back together. Dr. Jack Abbot had spent years learning one important lesson: You couldn't save everyone. No matter how hard you worked. No matter how many hours you stayed. No matter how much you cared. Someone would always remember the patients you lost more than the ones you saved. So Jack did what he was good at. He focused. He worked. He kept everyone at a distance. Because distance made things easier. At least, that was what he told himself. Until Elia Carter walked into The Pitt. Twenty-five years old. New nurse. Too compassionate. Too stubborn. Too willing to challenge him. She didn't know the rules yet. She didn't know that people like Jack weren't easy to understand. And Jack didn't know that the person who would challenge him the most wouldn't be another doctor. It would be a nurse who refused to look away. In a place where every second mattered... Sometimes the hardest thing to save was yourself.

"Willow Price." Caleb introduced me. My hair was parted in two tight french braids that held the hair away from my face. I was wearing cargo pants and a military green tank top, showing my muscular arms riddled with tattoos. I didn't move a muscle in my face when the man's dark eyes met mine. "Willow, this is John Winchester." "That's just a young girl Caleb," John told him disappointedly. Caleb shook his head. "John, I'm telling you. Willow is the best there is." "She done any tours?" He asked, noting my militarylike appearance. I bared my teeth, annoyed to be spoken over and not addressed directly. Caleb shot me a look as if knowing what went through my head. "No, but she might as well have. She has the training, the skill. She grew up in the life. Smart as the devil and tougher than nails." John Winchester stood up, showing his full size. He towered over me, and I bet that he was strong as ten men, but you know what they say; the bigger they are, the harder they fall. "You ever hunted a demon before?" He asked me, walking closer. I looked up at him, noting how he smelled like gunpowder and whiskey. He was definitely a seasoned hunter. "I'll do you one better," I smirked at his unwavering gaze. "I've killed one."

Sage Krause never wanted a crown. Born the daughter of a Duke and Duchess, she was raised on etiquette, diplomacy, and quiet duty, but nothing prepared her for the day the Lantsovs proposed an alliance. Marriage to Nikolai Lantsov, the golden prince of Ravka, is meant to secure peace and power. Neither of them is thrilled about it. He's charming, infuriating, and carries the weight of a fractured kingdom on his shoulders. She's independent, sharp-tongued, and determined not to lose herself to palace walls. What begins as a reluctant partnership slowly transforms into friendship, into trust, and into something neither of them dared to hope for. But in a kingdom built on fragile alliances, falling in love might be the most dangerous move of all. (Based on the Netflix TV Show, Shadow & Bone)
