A One-Shot What If. What if, on that first Quinjet ride to Sokovia, Nadine had said something different when Natasha pointed out that Nadine might very well have become Black Widow if she hadn't run from the Red Room? Well, it just might have changed everything. *Warning* If you haven't at the very least read up to Chapter 20 of 'The Ghost', this O/S will likely make very little sense. And also, arguably, spoilers. You have been warned.…

Curious what I'm working on? What other stories I have percolating in my brain, notebooks and harddrive? Well, this is the place to look! Original stories, fanfictions, they're all (mostly) here. If I've got even a little bit jotted down, I generally consider it to be happening. But be warned! Just because it's in here does not mean it is coming soon! It may not come at all! These are simply projects I've got started but not necessarily ones I've got on the go! Some of the stories you'll find teased in this collection may be years away from even getting worked on! Some have been years since I last puttered away at them! This is NOT a Plot Shop! This is a chance for me to share with my lovely readers what I've got up my sleeve. It's even a chance for you all to let me know what sounds interesting!…

*Complete* A Lord of the Rings FanFictionA Daughters of Middle Earth StoryFormerly Titled "Some Things are Meant to Endure" The only daughter of a King who had lost his Queen and the beloved younger sister of a Prince, Aeslin had grown up in the heart of the Woodland Realm. But given her mother's death in battle when she was but a young elfling, very little was more important to King Thranduil and his son Legolas than her safety. Not only had she never set foot beyond the borders of the Greenwood, she'd rarely left the confines of her Father's Court. For all that she was the most precious thing in the lives of her only family, Aeslin grew up the sad child of a dark forest. But with the Greenwood growing ever darker, Thranduil found himself with a hard choice before him. Fearing for the safety of his youngest child should she stay within the borders of a Kingdom coming to be known as 'Mirkwood', the Elven King made a decision that would change his daughter's life forever. Aeslin had always had a talent for healing, so he decided to send her to Rivendell to learn from Elrond as every great elven healer had done for centuries. There she learns not only the arts of healing, but finds another family, and indeed, eventually finds love. Follows Aeslin from before LotR through to the end of the films.
