    Summary

    Kate Bishop is used to being in control—boardrooms, balance sheets, chaos wrapped in confidence.
    Yelena Belova is used to surviving—by splitting herself cleanly in two.

    By day, Yelena is sharp-tongued, affectionate, quietly unraveling.
    By night, she becomes Widow—masked, untouchable, powerful enough to command a room with a single look.

    Kate doesn’t want the fantasy.
    She wants the truth.

    As desire deepens and secrets surface, love turns into a negotiation of control, consent, fear, and need. Kate learns what it means to kneel without losing herself. Yelena learns what it means to be seen without armor. And when power shifts—when trauma collides with intimacy—neither woman escapes unchanged.

    Surrounded by a fiercely protective, deeply damaged found family, they are forced to confront the hardest question of all:

    Who are you when the mask comes off—and who still wants you then?

    This is not a soft love story.
    It’s messy, feral, negotiated, earned.
    And it refuses to look away.

    Summary

    A chaotic crossover between Killing Eve and Strictly Come Dancing, born from the unhinged corner of my brain and written chapter by chapter with zero plan. Let’s see what happens.

    Investigative journalist and podcaster Eve Polastri joins Strictly expecting mild humiliation and maybe a sprained ankle. Instead, she’s paired with Villanelle - a stunning, unpredictable new professional dancer performing under a stage name, radiating danger and magnetism from the moment she walks onstage.

    Eve is married. Sensible. Repressed.
    Villanelle is none of the above.

    Let’s dance.

    Summary

    There are few things in life the striker of Little-Iowa High School's soccer team, Kate Bishop, loves more than being a tryhard. Lucky, her dog, is definitely on that Things I Love More Than Being a Tryhard list. Soccer is also on there. Her family of course, especially the non-blood related ones. Oh! And that nest of bluebirds that’s been living in the tree right outside her school since her senior year started. Above all of that though, Kate Bishop loves her childhood best friend and the goalie of her team, Yelena Belova.

    Summary

    Summary

    Kate turned her head just enough to peek at her. Yelena was up on one elbow, looking down at her with smug amusement. Kate’s cheeks heated. “I didn’t pull, I was soft with it!”
    Yelena’s eyes glinted. “Soft? That’s soft to you, Kate?”
    Kate nodded quickly, too defensive.
    “Good.” Yelena’s eyes flicked down, then back up. The smirk stayed, but her voice dropped, quiet and deliberate. “Then sex will be good.”

    Summary

    "How long?"

    “How long what?”

    “Have you been in love with her.”

    Had it been said in any other way, by anyone else, at any other time, Yelena would have broken their neck.

    Or

    Yelena doesn't do feelings.

    She certainly doesn't have feelings about Kate getting engaged to Eli, she simply thinks her best friend can do better. But if Kate won't listen to her superb advice, what can she do? She doesn't have any horse in this game, or whichever of those ridiculous American sayings Kate is always using. She doesn’t care that her best friend, the most compassionate person she knows, is promising her future to someone who peaked in high school and now coasts on his grandparents' legacy.

    Kate can do whatever she wants, Yelena doesn’t care.

    Summary

    Cruz has spent years building walls around herself, walls made of sequins, neon lights, and carefully practiced moves. At twenty-four, she dances in a high end club, surviving on tips, dodging intimacy, and hiding the broken pieces of her past. But when a striking, enigmatic woman appears among the wealthy clientele, Cruz finds herself caught in a stare that refuses to look away. Suddenly, she is forced to confront what she’s long avoided, the desire to be truly seen, the shame of her choices, and the fragile hope of a life beyond the stage.

    Summary

    Set immediately after the Thunderbolts* press conference.
    Kate Bishop is fine. Totally fine. Even if she returns to NYC to discover three very inconvenient things:

    She somehow missed a city-saving event,
    The Avengers have reformed—without her,
    and
    Yelena Belova seems to be leading them.

    She’s fine.
    …Until a stolen hard drive drags her into an international mission with Yelena as her partner.

    Now it’s Paris rooftops, Yelena's ex's, Budapest car chases, Yelena in a suit, Russian winters, and Yelena's nickname for her. She is definitely not letting Yelena Belova take up permanent residence in her brain.

    She’s fine.
    …Until she’s not.

    Summary

    Her nightmares did not come in the form of screams or shuddering fits. They arrived on silent nights. The only remnant they left behind was the emptiness that lingered in her chest when she awoke. But that emptiness carried no memories—at least, none that truly mattered. Each time, a headache would arrive in its stead—sharp, unrelenting, intrusive. Perhaps a manifestation of what her subconscious fought to suppress yet could never release.

    A woman she had once loved had torn her world apart without warning. Ironic, if she allowed herself to think about it. After the first three years, she no longer did. She had stopped trying to understand it. Such things were, after all, a labyrinth without an exit. And in her new life, there was no place for the chaos that memory carried.

    Chaos—like Cruz Manuelos—was something Aaliyah no longer wanted in her life.

    OR

    Eight years have passed since that fateful night in Mallorca.

    Yelena chuckles. “You’re probably thinking, ‘whaaaat, this is crazy! I’m going to have dinner with the enemy? And she’s…really sexy…and I wish she’d just shut up and kiss me…'”

    “What?” Kate yelps, freaking out. “I’m n-not thinking that! Where did you get that?” This, of course, is a total lie. Kate would literally do anything in her power to be kissed by Yelena. No! Stop thinking that!! This woman almost killed Kate!

    Summary

    Recently (and unwillingly) married and in a loveless relationship with a man who is no short of being terrible, Lexa likes to find little things that offer her an escape from her everyday life. One of these being going to the local art museum in her new town where she can get lost in the paintings and be transported to a world that isn't her own. But when she meets the museum's curator, Clarke Griffin, Lexa finds herself going there more often for more reasons than just to look at the artwork.
