Summary
When his comrade cradled the infant in his arms and asked him to be her godfather, Thomas Shelby merely scoffed—and accepted, reluctantly.
He was her godfather. That was the promise.
He taught her to ride, to shoot, to read people’s faces.
He couldn’t tell all these years—when did it become something more than a promise?

Summary
”That’s Stevie, baby.” Winnie smiles, adjusting her grip on her son to see the bundle in Sarah’s arms. “Remember how mommy told you Auntie Sarah had to go bring you your best friend?”
James’ stares down at the baby wrapped neatly in the blanket, little grey eyes blinking owlishly at the small pink thing contrasting the intense blue of the blanket. Steve slowly opens his eyes, little nose scrunching as his eyes squint and adjust to the light. It causes a giggle to erupt from the older boy, drawing the babes attention to him. Soft blue eyes blinking up into grey for the first of many times to come.

Summary
To settle a crushing debt, a disgraced Sicilian noble is forced to give his daughter in marriage to Birmingham's most ruthless businessman.
For Thomas Shelby, it's a calculated move: her name carries old-world power, the kind that still holds sway behind polished doors. She's beautiful, refined, and perfectly placed to play the role of an high-class wife.
But Adelaide Moncada has no intention of being anyone’s ornament.
After leaving everything that reminded her of her family years before, she decided to go on the jazz club stage to survive, using her voice and beauty as a weapon. But she has no intention of bending to the will of any man, least of all Thomas Shelby.
Their marriage begins as an arrangement: cold, contractual, strategic. But in the shadows of London’s underworld, where the Peaky Blinders seek to expand and enemies multiply, she becomes more than an accessory. She becomes useful. Dangerous. Desired.

Summary
Everyone knows Captain America, hardly anyone knows he had a twin brother: Samuel "Sammie" Rogers. Sarcastic. Snarky. Deadly loyal. A penchant for being really good at shooting. Inseparable, as children alongside Bucky Barnes or socking Hydra Agents in the jaw as adults.
He’s quick with a grin, quicker with pistols and impossible to pin down in a fight. Even better at mechanics that even Tony respects. Within reason of course. But what happens when Sammie loses his twin brother and surrogate big brother Bucky at the end of World War 2? When an opportunity to become something even more presents itself, Sammie won't exactly refuse.

Summary
Yelena Rabinovich has always been a fighter.
It’s in the way she holds her ground on the Brooklyn sidewalks, the way she stands between Steve Rogers and a fight he can’t win, or the way she looks at Bucky Barnes like he hung the damn moon.
From the streets of New York to the battlefields of Europe, from childhood promises to war-torn realities, she learns that love and survival don’t always go hand in hand. But if there’s one thing she knows for sure—she’s not going down easy.
(Lennie's story will span from the 1930s to current MCU timeline, with some canon divergence as I see fit)

Summary
Sienna knows she is being hunted, but by whom or what is the question. She is no longer safe in the future , so maybe to go to the past will be her salvation. What she doesn't foresee is the events that will unfold and the monster that will go to any lengths; even hell itself, to protect the woman he loves most after losing her so many years prior.
It's scary to be hated by a monster ,but it is more terrifying to have a monster not only be absolutely in love with you and to hold his sanity in your hands.

Summary
Alastor knows he’s playing with fire—but that’s what makes everything so thrilling. The irony of stringing along an undercover agent on a wild goose chase with the endgame of stringing him up is so deliciously thick that it requires being cut with a bone saw or another one of Alastor’s beloved knives. That is, until Alastor realizes that he and Vincent are meant for each other.
