ROSES AND RUIN by Nef_3rtiti

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?

Red Thorn by georgina02wols

Everyone knows of the Black Widows, but very few know of the Red Thorn. "Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe she exists, those who do call her the Red Thorn. She is a ghost story, even to my own agents. I can count the amount of people who know her true identity on one hand." The first fifteen chapters or so will be Red's place withing the MCU up until Civil War, that is where the timeline starts to really diverge from that of the MCU, with no Thanos and Infinity Wars. My true Marvel Nerd comes out in this story with loads of difference references and cameos from my favourite characters. TRIGGER WARNING: This story does touch sensitive subjects such as Eating Disorders, Self Harm Severe PTSD. I have taken the time to consider whether or not to put trigger warnings at the beginning of such chapters, but it is a common theme throughout the story as it is a big part of what makes Red, well, Red, so I have decided to put this one here to explain that if these are subjects you are sensitive to, I believe it in your best interest not to read. Just in case. One final disclaimer, I do not own any of the Marvel characters, only Red and a few others that depend entirely on her story. With that, enjoy!
