"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .｡❅*⋆⍋*∞*｡*∞*⍋⋆*❅｡.

At 16, Jhanvi read The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon. She'd sat down in her reading nook with mild-liners, sticky note tabs, and pens ready to annotate like the bookstagrammer she aspired to be. It was a quick read for her, but she paused when Yoon spoke about Koi No Yokan, the Japanese saying roughly translating to love at second sight - the feeling when you know you'll inevitability give your heart away to this person. The romantic in her beamed at the possibility. Jhanvi wondered who would evoke a sense so strong and intuitive. At 21, she met Farhan and she knew. Each moment they spent together, she could feel herself falling in love with him. At 24, she had their lives planned out. At 25, he fell into a coma. At 26, she was alone in New Brunswick.

In the infinite multiverse of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are vas universes with our heroes, that can be changed by a single action. Let's explore them with a certain Agent of SHIELD... shall we? !please read! This is my personal opinion and perspective of what happens. Some of this may not be cannon to the MCU but this is a what if story. There are a few "explicit" vocabulary words and mentions of blood, guns, death, and more, but I suggest if you don't like that, you leave just so you're fine:) This story/one shots are written by ME. No-one but me owns the writing, though the characters in this story belong to Stan Lee & Kevin Feige.

They are...? Keep in mind that this book really needs editing. So beware:) I'm not exaggerating or being humble. I mean, this book needs to be reborn lmao.
