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

I'll Always Love You - a Jeid Fanfic
A Criminal Minds fanfiction starring JJ and Reid. When Reid receives news that his mom is dying, JJ is determined to be there for him. But the more time she spends taking care of Reid, the more Will begins to question her priorities. Refusing to leave Reid alone with his grief, JJ finds herself caught between saving her marriage and supporting her best friend. Amidst all their pain and suffering, JJ and Reid discover that their bond is the most unbreakable of all. Because the love between two twin flames ... is forever. This is my fantasy of what I could see happening if there were to be a Season 16 of Criminal Minds. I tried to stay as true to the characters and the original storyline as possible, while giving my Jeid heart the ending it deserves. I hope you enjoy! Here is a YouTube trailer for this fanfiction, for those who enjoy that sort of thing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqrYUZbh494 Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, or any of the characters mentioned in this story.

{Discontinued} Wizards? At Camp Half Blood?
(Spoilers ahead if you haven't read Trails of Apollo yet. Sorry if timelines are mixed up, I would love for them to make sense but I tried to make them be as realistic as I could. Harry is 12-14 when Percy is born, it's cannon. So unless you don't care that I made them same age I wouldn't read this.) Hey Demiwizards, I got the idea from reading a bunch of Wattpad stories on the demigods going to Hogwarts and thought it might be cool to have it the other way around. All rights go to our queen Rowling and uncle Rick. All I own is my own made up characters and my plot. After Deathly Hallows and the first Trials of Apollo. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville go to Camp Half-blood. Maybe Nuna, I don't know, I ship it. Sadly it didn't happen. Piper and Jason are actually at Camp Half-Blood in this fanfic and Leo come back early. Most everything else stays cannon. Oh yeah, and for som reason, I am going to try and add Pollux into this, you know, Dionysus's kid. I swear Dionysus is the second most loyal god, Hera being the first because being the goddess of marriage does that to you. That is all for now. Bye, bye Demiwizards!Complete

Vanished-A Fremione Story
Hermione lay bleeding on the grass, holding a hand to the bloody stump that was once Fred Weasley's arm. Fred gazed back at her, begging for some sort of comfort but Hermione couldn't provide it. She had nothing to say. She had for a fleeting moment let herself relax. Let herself believe that Voldermort was dead, and therefore all was to be right in the world. There was to be weddings, parties and bright sunny Sunday mornings. She wasn't suppose to shed anymore blood. She wasn't suppose to lose anyone else. She'd lost enough people. She had killed enough. She had sacrificed enough. Hermione was tired, so beyond tired. Tired of losing. So she let her eyes flutter closed, and Fred watched as Hermione let herself once again, slip into a false sense of security. TW: dark themes, blood, death, fighting, hospitals, survivalComplete
