She wasn't supposed to survive.
He wasn't supposed to remember her.
Buried beneath an off-the-record facility, Eva is dragged into a classified experiment she barely understands-something about memory reconstruction, neural rewiring, and a weapon they can't control. A weapon with a name she recognizes.
The Winter Soldier.
He wakes with her name on his lips and a kill order stitched into his bones.
But something is wrong. He knows things he shouldn't.
Things about her.
About blood.
About why she's the only one who might stop what's coming.
Eva didn't ask to be involved.
He doesn't know how to be human.
But something lingers in the space between them-unfinished, unspoken, almost remembered.
And even in the ruin of memory, some things still ache to be known.

Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped.

He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic.

Triple Threat // Steve, Nat, Tony
[18+] A nondescript duffel bag appears in Times Square, its tag bearing one urgent instruction: call the Avengers. Inside, they find a woman with no identity and no memory... and bioluminescent tattoos on her back spelling three names: Rogers, Romanoff, Stark. Natasha can't shake the feeling she's seen this woman before. Tony believes she's a long-lost Stark sibling. And Steve finds himself drawn to her resilience and mystery, even when questions about her loyalties loom. Torn between fragments of a past she can't remember and the promise of a future with the Avengers, Y/N must uncover the truth of her own existence before it destroys everyone she's come to care about. **PLEASE NOTE** This story leans heavily toward mutants in power and human experimentation during South Africa's Apartheid era. These elements are presented as part of the dystopian world-building and are not intended to romanticise or trivialise the real historical trauma of Apartheid or racial discrimination!
TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
The Quiet Flame
She was supposed to be invisible. Just a name on the intern list. Quiet. Plain. Unremarkable. Cassian Voss didn't notice her-until she sang. And then he couldn't stop. Now, she's in his head. In his schedule. In his world. The softness he didn't know he needed. The obsession he can't control. He watches her like a predator studies prey, drawn to the quiet strength she doesn't even know she carries. She flinches when he gets too close. She stammers when he looks at her too long. She tries to pull away-so he pulls her closer. He offers her safety, but he cages her gently. He praises her innocence, then punishes her defiance. He touches her like she's sacred, but marks her like she's his. A huge thank to Pininterest creators and Canva for letting me put the pictures in the story. She's not ready for a man like him. And he has no patience to wait. As her world twists into one made of silk sheets, glass walls, and commands whispered like promises, she begins to wonder-when did his protection become possession? And why does some part of her crave it? He would burn the world to keep her. He would ruin her peace to taste her devotion. And she? She was always the quiet flame destined to set him on fire.
Fragments of Us: A WinterWidow Short Story
The past isn't always buried. After the brutal mission with Leo Novokov, Natasha Romanoff awakens with pieces of her life missing, fractured memories veiled in a fog she can't quite penetrate. Her life as a spy, her history as an Avenger-it's all there, except for the warmth of something she can no longer feel but senses should be there. Bucky Barnes, the man who once knew her better than anyone, has chosen to remain hidden, leaving the love they shared buried for her own protection. Bucky is a ghost in her life, careful to stay in the shadows, but unable to fully let go. Everywhere he goes, there are quiet reminders of Natasha-the faded notes in his journals, the scars they gave each other, the empty side of his bed each night. But he's convinced that to bring her memories back would endanger her, so he lets her go. For Natasha, however, the whispers of her past are relentless. Fleeting fragments of laughter, half-remembered dreams, and the brush of a familiar touch haunt her in the quiet. And as she uncovers old trinkets, redacted files that even her highest clearance level can't access, and glimpses of a man whose eyes spark an unexplainable ache, she realizes that her past holds secrets someone wants her to forget. Driven by curiosity and a deep, instinctual yearning she doesn't understand, Natasha starts to chase the fragments back to their source. And with each step, Bucky finds himself pulled closer, torn between protecting her and wanting her back.Complete
