Although Detectives James Barnes and Elena Thompson never got along, they are obliged to join one of the most well-known investigations when the enigmatic "Phantom Killer" resurfaces after three years of silence. They both reluctantly work together to close up this case, but when it becomes too personal, they are forced to overcome their dislike of one another in order to survive. Will they be able to find the ghost-like murderer in time, or will they perish?

"So nice I get to work with you." His smirk somehow grows.

I ignore him, push his body off of my door, and open it again. Once again, he leans on it and closes it.

"You have the maturity level of a four-year-old!" I snap.

"You have the chest of one." He snickers.

"Then why do you keep looking?" Once again, I push him off of my car and open my door, quickly slipping it and shutting the door in his face.

141 parts Complete
As an eighteen year old girl in Brooklyn, New York in the 1930's, falling pregnant unplanned is not on your agenda. So when it happens, it's needless to say your world comes crashing down. You know it is going to change your life forever and at this point of course you think it will be for the worst, especially when everyone who you thought loved you and held you dear turns their backs on you. But there is one person left you can depend on. The person you would trust with your life. Your life long best friend, Bucky Barnes. Worried what everyone will think and ashamed of your increasingly not so little secret, Bucky stands by your side and is with you throughout what you think will be the biggest hardship of your life... little do you know that this is only the beginning. Keeping your secret and standing by your side when times get tough stirs up brand new kinds of feelings between the two of you. But it turns out that knowing Bucky Barnes comes with a price, and playing such a huge role in his life, can you handle being dragged so deeply into all that is to come? It's seems that whenever Bucky and you start to think you might finally be able to settle down together and start a relatively normal life something has to go wrong. And now with not just yourself to look out for is it worth the involvement? The bond between you two seems unbreakable after all you've gone through together but with fate seemingly determined to keep ruining your lives will something ultimately go so wrong that it just can't be fixed? I will put warnings at the beginnings of chapters for smut and triggers etc. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters, these are just things I imagine!

"What's your real name?" James asked, taking his eyes off the road for a second to glance at her. "Like my full name or...?" "No like your birth name. You've been called by three different names tonight so I'm just curious" Celia nodded, understanding. "Well my birth name is Celia but i much prefer to be called Lia or Lee." James was confused to why she would disregard such a beautiful name. "Why? I like Celia. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl" she tried to ignore the last part of his statement but couldn't help the blush rise onto her face. James must have noticed because a smirk began to creep on his. "My mom did too. She said i was a gift from god, that's why she called me Celia." He hummed, satisfied with her answer. "Heavenly." He spoke softly, almost a whisper. "Hmm?" She asked, unsure of what he meant. "Heavenly. Its the meaning of your name in Latin. I think maybe that's why its so beautiful. Though it also means 'blind one' I'm sure. Also fitting." Celia scoffed unsure of whether he was complimenting her or not. "And why would that be fitting?" She asked awaiting a response. "Because your so stupidly blind towards how gorgeous you are. All night you sat uncomfortably fidgeting with your dress and covered yourself with your arms. It was painful to watch. And yet although you can't see it, you caught the attention of every man in that room when you walked in." Celia sat in silence for a while. She had never been so flattered by a guy before. "That's surely not true. Even if they were looking in my direction they were probably staring at Natasha." James chuckled and shook his head. "What's so funny?" She asked cluelessly. "I should know Celia, i was one of them. You look amazing so take a compliment." He spoke with slight sarcasm.

"Her body was already dazed, and her mind was already underwater so she might as well let him set the rest of her on fire." Jodie Carter always spent her summers at the Ivory House with her friends.
