    she may not have been born a stark, but that never made her any less of one. dinah stark grew up surrounded by people who were always the smartest in the room, which would've been fine if anyone had bothered to warn her how annoying that would get. she wasn't a genius like her father, and she stopped trying to be one a long time ago. dinah had always been better at trusting her gut, throwing the first punch and figuring out the consequences afterward. then she joined s.h.i.e.l.d, then aliens invaded new york, then she touched the tesseract. probably not her best decision (whoops) the accident left dinah with the ability to manipulate vibrations, turning the ground beneath her feet into a weapon and making an already reckless stark considerably harder to kill. becoming an avenger seemed like the obvious next step. unfortunately, nobody tells you how badly being an avenger can fuck up your life. between hydra, ultron, broken friendships, impossible choices and a family that's never been particularly good at handling its problems, dinah spends years trying to figure out where she belongs and who she's supposed to be when everything around her keeps changing. saving the world might actually be the easy part of it all! dinah is heavily inspired by daisy johnson! | au

    This world is a lot more freaky than we think. There are things watching from every direction possible and countless creatures lurking in the shadows. Some are more harmful than others but they're all unnatural. Some are more well known than others. A good amount of the creatures sound like the main boss of a video game and some have. The whole idea of the supernatural sounds like fairy tales or stuff you'd read about online. But it's all real. And it's up to hunters to stop it. A trio of them take up the task to save the world from them. Together they'll kill any bastard in their way or die trying. A/n: Due to the chapter limit, this book will be season 1-7, since that feels like a nice stop both story wise and season wise. There will be a second book for season 8-15. Not to mention given that this show can get pretty dark, there will be some scenes and language throughout the book that can be triggering so, fair warning, read with caution. Also I will be uploading by season and I have other stories I'm working on so sorry for the long breaks in between uploads. I'll try to not be too long but bear with me, the episodes are very long and I'm going to try to add original chapters/moments throughout the story. Also fair warning I make something about y/n clear about her appearance, mainly just her hair length and height along with a few body features. Reason was because I need to make those things clear with what I envision, ex: I wanted y/n to be the shortest in the main cast but not the shortest in the cast so I made her height roughly 5"7/5"6-ish. Anyway, on with the book.

    Jhanvi × Agastya "Khayalon mein lakhon baat yoon toh keh gaya Bola kuch na tere saamne Oh, hue na begaane bhi tum hoke aur ke Dekho tum na mere hi bane" Some love stories are written in stolen glances and unspoken words. He reads her like his favorite story, yet she remains the one chapter he can't put into words. __________________ Shraddha × Kabir "Nigaahon mein dekho meri jo hai bas gaya, Woh hai milta tumse hoo-ba-hoo. Oh, jaane teri aankhein thi ya baatein thi wajah, Hue tum jo dil ki aarzu." She was the silence to his chaos, the calm to his storm. In a world full of distractions, his heart found its only constant her. ______________ **About the Story** This is a tale of first love raw, innocent, and unforgettable.

An old-school yet soft romance that will probably take you back to your school days the stolen glances, the nervous confessions, and the magic of loving for the very first time.

    "In a world that questioned her worth, she married the man who feared loving her." Ishika has always known what it feels like to be seen as less less beautiful, less worthy, less chosen. A brown-skinned girl with dreams stitched in rhythm and dance, she learned early that love often comes with conditions. Roohan Ahluwalia was her childhood friend her quiet protector, her constant shadow. Successful, admired, and emotionally guarded, he never planned to marry for love. When fate and family expectations bind them together in an arranged marriage made for a dying mother's wish, Roohan makes one thing painfully clear: He can care for Ishika but he cannot love her. What begins as a marriage of duty turns into a battlefield of unspoken emotions. Roohan's touch lingers longer than it should. His jealousy burns brighter than his words allow. Ishika, torn between longing and self-respect, struggles with the fear that she will never be enough not for him, not for the world that keeps reminding her of her skin color. Between stolen glances, rain-soaked dances, office confrontations, and moments where desire collides with denial, both are forced to face the truth they are afraid to name. When the past resurfaces and the world questions Ishika's worth once again, Roohan must decide will he keep hiding behind promises made to others, or finally fight for the woman he already belongs to? Sunflower Promises is a deeply emotional arranged-marriage romance about love that grows in silence, the courage to unlearn prejudice, and a woman who discovers her worth even when the man she loves is afraid to claim her. "She was his promise to a dying wish... not the love he planned to fall into."♥️ Married Without Love 🌻
