However, they see potential in the General's daughter and enter her into the Winter Soldier program. Will Bucky and Jack remember each other when he becomes the Winter Soldier, and she becomes the Siren? Or will a rivalry be born? Story begins during CA: the first Avenger, and slowly leads into CA: the Winter Soldier, this will be a pre Civil War fan fiction. May contain some strong languages and scenes of a sexual and violent nature (I mean it's the Winter Soldier you weren't expecting rainbows and butterflies were you?) Characters (except my own) in this story do not belong to me, this is a fanfiction, the characters belong to their rightful owners at Marvel and Disney. However, I do not give permission for this story to be re-written. Enjoy!

    Élodie De Vauclair was raised to be perfect. Born into an ancient pure-blood family, Élodie has spent her entire life learning how to behave, what to say, and what not to reveal. Her parents have always made one thing clear: the De Vauclair name comes before everything else. But on the eve of her first year at Hogwarts, Élodie discovers a secret her family has kept from her since birth. She is a descendant of Merlin. And hidden among her family's secrets is something far more dangerous than a name: Merlin's wand, passed down to Élodie as its chosen heir. At Hogwarts, she finds the freedom she has always wanted. She makes friends, finds her place in Slytherin, and meets a quiet, intelligent boy named Tom Riddle. Tom is unlike anyone Élodie has ever known. He notices things other people overlook. He asks questions she doesn't want to answer. And, somehow, he seems to understand her better than he should. As Élodie's magic begins behaving in ways she cannot explain, the secrets surrounding her family-and the wand she was never meant to reveal-begin to unravel. She thought Hogwarts would be the beginning of her new life. She doesn't know it will also be the beginning of the end. Because some secrets are inherited. Some are chosen. And some have the power to change the course of history. Before he became Lord Voldemort, he was simply Tom Riddle. And before she became a ghost haunting the place he once called home, Élodie De Vauclair was the girl who knew him best.

    London, 1938. Wendy Darling has spent ten years trying to forget a boy who promised to come back for her - and never did. She's built a life without him. Cambridge. A future. A man named James Beaumont who loves her the way ordinary men love ordinary women, without wings or shadows or wild, impossible promises. Then her father dies with a confession that unravels everything she thought she knew about him. Hidden in his desk, she finds ten years of letters - every one from Peter. He never stopped writing. He just stopped being able to reach her. As war swallows Europe and pulls James and her brothers into a fight she can't survive losing, Wendy sends one letter back through the dark, half hoping, half dreading it will ever be answered. It is. Just not by the boy she remembers. Neverland is dying. James is gone, lost somewhere in the Atlantic. And Wendy Darling - nurse, daughter, the woman who swore she'd left magic behind - is about to learn that some promises don't end. They just wait. Growing up was never the hard part. Choosing which world to fight for is.

    Set against the turbulent final years of the 1940s, 24-year-old Sourashis grows up wearing responsibility like armor, his youth hardened by duty and unrest. Seventeen-year-old Mrinalini, on the other hand, watches her dreams quietly erode beneath suffocating traditions and rules that grow harsher as war looms closer. In a world fractured by political uprising and rigid family prejudices, they become each other's only refuge. His anger softens in her presence; her fears find steadiness under his silent protection. But as independence draws near, danger closes in-and love itself becomes an act of rebellion neither of them is meant to commit. When a nation is fighting for freedom, can two forbidden hearts dare to fight for their own? ____________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

    。⋆❆⋆。 In the icy, war-torn winter of 1943 Germany, a catastrophic engine failure sends American Pilot Jack Lockhart's plane spiraling into the icy trees of the Black Forest. Survival comes from an unlikely source when a reluctant German local, Lukas Heiland, saves his life. Taking in a stranded American pilot is a death sentence, yet Lukas risks his life every single day to keep Jack hidden right beneath the boots of the local guards. What begins as a bitter, guarded alliance between two enemies slowly shifts into a profound, intimate bond that neither man saw coming. ✈︎⋆⭒˚。⋆AUTHORS NOTE ⋆⭒˚。⋆✈︎ Work in Progress: This story is currently ongoing and uncompleted. Chapters will be updated as they are written! Historical Realism & Accuracy: Windfall is set against the backdrop of World War II (late 1943-1944). While I do my best to research the period thoroughly, any historical or technical inaccuracies are purely accidental! Content Warning: Features themes of war, physical trauma/scars, grief, and sensitive historical contexts related to WWII and is written with deep respect for the history and the lives impacted by the era. Language & Dialogue: Features mild language barriers and bilingual dialogue (English/German). Thank you for reading! Feedback is always appreciated as I work through the draft.

    August 1944. Germany is running out of soldiers. So they start drafting the ones who never asked for it. Rosy is 17, strong, and spectacularly lazy. She'd rather play cards than follow orders. Elise is 19, neat, and quietly terrified. She clutches a deck of cards like it's the only thing she can control. They meet on a train. They stay together in a bombed-out barn. Rosy calls her Lise for fun. Lise calls her Rose when it matters. Between bad hands of Skat and worse orders from the radio, two girls find something neither of them was looking for. But war doesn't let you keep what you love. Drafted in August is a story about cards left on a table, names whispered in the dark, and the one person you never stop looking for. Notice: This is a work of fiction. The characters, Rose and Elise, are 17 and 19. Their relationship is a slow-burn, queer love story set against the backdrop of war. Content warnings: War, death, grief, anti-romantic themes.

    Iris has cared for patients for centuries-the only catch is, hers are already dead. Disguised as a nurse in a mysterious hospital, she guides souls from their last breath in 1940s America into whatever comes after. But Iris isn't some benevolent angel of mercy-she's a virus, a glitch the universe never meant to create, and immortality has left her bored. So when she starts getting attached to the people she's supposed to release-the living and the dead alike-she breaks every rule written into the fabric of existence. Because if she's not supposed to exist in the first place, she might as well live a little before she's found out.
