    Summary

    "When I see her again, I will ensure she knows my name."

    The notorious Louisianan serial killer was enjoying his third year of wreaking bloody havoc without so much as a close call, until his eyes fell upon the lead detective, who wasn't as innocent and just as she seems. He can't get enough of her, and it's making him sloppy.

    (TL;DR. First Person F POV. [No Y/N, I avoid using personal descriptions/references as much as possible] Human Alastor. 1920-1930s setting. Slow burn romance. Major character death [predictable but yeah]. Expect some angst.)

    Summary

    Elizabeth Colvin is no stranger to the cruelty of the world. At the age of ten, her parents were murdered, and she was sent to an abusive foster family, from whom she managed to escape at fifteen. Resorting to stealing to survive, she figured everything was over when she was caught by Lieutenant Morris, but he gave her a chance at a new life, one she eagerly took.

    Now an adult, and an investigative reporter, she plans to use this opportunity to make a difference and help those in need, exposing the corrupt underbelly of New York City. While chasing a story, Elizabeth stumbles upon a scene she shouldn't have, and is pulled into the heart of New York's corruption: the mafia. Armed with her intellect, wit, and a concealed gun, she is prepared to get her story, and escape with her life.

    The only thing she's not prepared for are the two men who pull on her heartstrings, one belonging to a world of glamour and wealth, and another, to a world of blood and secrets.

    Summary

    Some friendships die under the pressure of one person moving away. Others can apparently survive being caught between two realms.

    The rest of the Casper Crew have crossed over, but Robin Arellano isn't so ready to follow them into that pesky light. Not if that also means leaving Finney Blake behind. His friend still needs him and yeah, he needs Finney just as much. Will these two boys ever find their way back to the way things were? Or will they forever be stuck in limbo, unable to move on from the shared trauma of their past? Is it even possible to stick together when the universe is so against you?

    Robin thinks Finney is worth hanging around for, so he guesses it's worth putting to the test also.

    Summary

    Caitlyn never expected what she'd find out after coming to America once she graduated from oxford. She knew she was going to visit her family for a holiday before settling down and finding a job. She didn't expect to be thrown into work once she got there, or how hard living in prohibition would be, or meeting a woman at a jazz club she'd been invited to by her boss.

    Plus, there was the fact that her parents kept a secret from her she isn't sure she was meant to unwrap. Then again she didn't know how they thought she wouldn't figure it out.

    Summary

    Tess is a powerful underworld figure, brokering information. When an internal threat has her questioning the loyalties of those closest, she must enlist the help of someone who has just as much to lose as she does. A bodyguard/boss AU set in the 1970s.

    His fingertips brushed through the curtain of hair hanging to her waist. Dressing like a goddamn hippie with motivations that were resolutely square. A capitalist muckety-muck playing dress-ups with the beautiful people. Tess had some goddamn nerve and he wanted every last piece of her, Duke’s warnings be damned.

    Because Duke was right – he’d never met anyone like her before. And maybe by getting a little closer he could unravel the enigma, because he’d meant what he’d told Duke – one woman was, essentially, the same as another. There were a finite number of parts people could play. And she was just playing one of them, concealing it a little better than most.

    Tess whispered again in his ear: “You answer to me, now.”

    Summary

    An assassin's mark on Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, forces him to unearth not only his own past but the one of the woman he claimed to hate.

    ***

    After the events that lead the Avengers to fall apart, Steve Rogers entrusts his friend Bucky Barnes to the Crown Prince of Wakanda. But after only a few days, an assassin is caught in Wakanda. Her codename - Nemesis. Her mission - to kill the Winter Soldier.
    In their search for answers, Steve and Bucky find a link to someone from their past, someone they never thought they would hear of again - Evelyn Rogers, Steve's twin sister. The pair discover that she died in a fire in the 60s. The only thing that was retrieved from the ashes was a strongbox containing several letters and a carefully wrapped package for one James Buchanan Barnes.
    Evelyn's final legacy is her diary, which Bucky finds strange. She would never have left him anything personal since they hated each other. And how could she possibly have known he was still alive?
    Pushed on by Steve, Bucky reads Evelyn's final words, and page by page, his memories return. But as he nears the end of the diary, it becomes clear that some memories should have remained lost.
