England, 1265. On the troubled border between England and Wales, La Cont de Lisle II governs the small lordship of Lislebery while his father fights overseas. At twenty-five, he understands the familiar burdens of rule: settling disputes, protecting the harvest, preparing for Saint Edward's fair and keeping order among the people who depend upon his family. Then mounted strangers cross his land during the night. They avoid the road, travel without a fire and leave behind only uncertain tracks-and the mark of a horse missing one shoe. As La Cont searches for answers, a murdered messenger, a stolen letter and an old dispute over Welsh land begin drawing several households toward one another. Loyalties will be tested, buried grievances revived, and seemingly ordinary decisions may carry consequences far beyond Lislebery. A historically grounded story of duty, intrigue and everyday life in the Welsh Marches.

How does one get the attention of Earth's mightiest heroes one might ask? What about walking straight into their compound drenched in blood and invoking an ancient rite?

She does this out of fear. And no one can work out what that fear is because it's certainly not the mass murderer. But someone wants Elaine. And they want the secret she doesn't even know she's holding . Not even a god can stop them from trying to get her back. ********* Welcome to Sanguis Not Miss To You. This is an MCU fanfiction centred around an original character, an original storyline, and a rather unhealthy amount of ancient history. A few things before we begin: This story takes liberties with MCU canon, mythology, and history where necessary for the plot. Elaine is an original character, and this is not a reader-insert. The story is intended to be completely clean, with no explicit content. However, themes such as kidnapping and violence involving blood are heavily involved but I trust the reader to know their triggers. Historical and mythological material has been adapted for the purposes of the story, so this is fiction first and a history lesson second. I hope you enjoy following Elaine as much as I have enjoyed putting her through increasingly questionable situations. Now, shall we?
