When veteran actress Paget Brewster signs on for another season of Criminal Minds, she never expects her greatest plot twist to come off-screen. Enter Delilah Rose, a dazzling young starlet with a sharp wit, boundless energy, and a presence that pulls Paget in from their very first table read.
What begins as an unlikely connection between costars quickly deepens into something neither of them can ignore. But love under the spotlight comes with its own challenges-an age gap that raises eyebrows, paparazzi that never look away, and family members struggling to understand.
Through stolen moments on set, whispered confessions behind closed doors, and the watchful eyes of their cast family, Paget and Delilah fight for a love that is as unexpected as it is undeniable. From wrap parties to press tours, from first sparks to forever promises, their story is one of laughter, vulnerability, and the courage to stand against the world for the person who makes it feel like home.
A tender, witty, and slow-burning romance, this is the story of two women who find each other where they least expect it-and discover that love, once found, is worth every risk.
In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter.
When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry.
But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed.
With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her.
After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself?
Author's Disclaimer:
This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence.
Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.
