    Meanwhile, Natalia Romanova discovers the true cost of creating the Soviet Dream. What future is there for people like her? What is she fighting for? What can Natalia be loyal to, if not the Red Room?

    Summary

    Natasha thought the Winter Soldier was not her problem. Standing in front of the Bucky Barnes portion of the Smithsonian exhibit, she had to admit the Winter Soldier was at least a little bit her problem, if only because Steve was so thoroughly compromised when it came to him. She just wasn’t prepared for how very much the Winter Soldier was her problem too.

    In which Natasha is Psyche, and Bucky is Eros, kind of.

    Summary

    “Liho never gave you any scars?”
    “She’s a cat,” she reminds him and holds up her left hand. One nearly invisible scar runs along the base of her thumb and another more recent one stretches from the knuckle at the base of her index finger to the base of her thumb. Almost, but not quite, forming the shape of a mirrored L.
    He kisses the two scars with an air of reverence that makes her smile.

    *************

    Natasha and Bucky celebrates being back together in the best way possible: by being ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    Some of Natasha’s memories are true, some are false, but throughout all of them runs one thread of remembrance: a cool metal hand gentle upon her back, tender against her cheek, tight around her throat; an assassin with a crooked smile and eyes like winter.

    Summary

    “It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a single wizard, in possession of good fortune, must be in want of a werewolf.”

    Muggleborn beauty Lily Evans’s prospects for a secure future seem set, when the handsome and agreeable James Potter moves into neighbouring Netherfield and appears immediately smitten. For her foster brother - the werewolf, Remus Lupin - however, things still seem bleak (though perhaps he has been listening too much to the prophecies of his sister, Sybil, of late). Things take a turn for the worse though, when the haughty Mr. Black seems determined to work against Lily’s interests, and worse again when their youngest sister Mary elopes with the devious Mr. Lockhart. With surprise proposals, chance meetings and broken hearts along the way, it will take Mr. Black putting away his pride and Remus casting aside his prejudices for everyone to get their happy ending.

    A Magical Regency AU Wolfstar and Jily retelling of Pride and Prejudice.
