Summary
✨He was just another uniform in the back of her classroom—stoic, unreadable, unremarkable. Until she smiled at him. Soft, unsure. Sunshine in a human body. And he? He was the shadow, trying not to burn just by standing too close.
Now Lieutenant Riley has a problem. And it smells like vanilla. She’s gentle. Awkward. His daughter’s teacher. His new fixation.
Sweet in a way he never thought he deserved.But now that he’s seen her—really seen her—he wants more. Wants to know what she sounds like when she falls apart.
And she has no idea what happens when a man like him starts to crave something soft.✨

Summary
The doctor’s gloved fingers lift your chin, tilting your face upward with a touch both clinical and unnervingly intimate.
“Your pulse is weak...” he murmurs, “Yet there is a softness to you that the Pestilence envies.”
You want to pull away, to break the suffocating proximity, but something in his gaze pins you in place. It’s not just authority. It’s an obsession, an aching need to know you. To have you. To possess you.
“Kindness is not my trade.” he continues, and the honesty is almost kinder than a lie. “Care is. Protection is. I intend to keep you from the Pestilence as long as it pleases me. Whether that is kindness depends on the patience of time and the constitution of your heart.”
He looks at you with the single-mindedness of someone who catalogues organisms by their capacity to survive and by the fissures they leave in the world. You want to pull back. You want to run; you have to run. But when he leans closer - so close you can feel the faint, medicinal scent of vinegar and lavender radiating from him - and speaks your name, something in your chest unclenches.
“Physician...” he whispers, brushing a thumb lovingly along the curve of your cheek. “Stay with me. Please."

Summary
"You're kind. That's a rare quality to have in this world. And it's the best thing about you."
The words that were once meant as a compliment now remind you every day that you are not fit for this world.This world preys on the weak. The kind.
It's a miracle you've made it this far."Stay on the move. Avoid crowds. Boil and filter every drop of water. Pack light. Never eat a white mushroom."
A survivor crosses paths with a silent man in the ruins of the world. She wasn’t looking for company, but having someone to travel with can’t hurt, right? Besides, they’re heading in the same direction, and it’s only temporary.
But something about the man haunts our protagonist. What kind of hell did he crawl out of? What is his damage?
And why won't he speak?[Updates usually on Fridays at 10PM EEST]

Summary
Hydra's objective was simple: combine animalistic modifications with human soldiers to create the ultimate weapon. a subserviant, domesticated monster.
the execution? shabby, to say the least.
the aftermath? a bunch of mutt humanoids that were only useful for training, if they were lucky enough to survive the modifications.
when reader, a snowy owl mutt, is left for dead in the desert and discovered by Stark Industries, will she be able to be rehabilitated by Earth's Mightiest? or will her history with the Winter Soldier disrupt both their paths to recovery as they're forced into cohabitation?
