Hired as a part-time cook for Jensen Ackles and his three children, Y/N expects little more than preparing meals and keeping a busy household running smoothly. Instead, she finds a family that’s forgotten how to laugh. Through home-cooked dinners, music, movie nights, and countless ordinary moments, she slowly helps JJ, Arrow, Zeppelin, and even Jensen rediscover the joy that had quietly disappeared from their home. As old wounds begin to heal, an unexpected friendship grows into a love neither of them was looking for.
Steve Rogers never expected to become obsessed with Broadway musicals. He definitely never expected Tony Stark to discover his secret celebrity crush and hire her for his birthday party. But while the Avengers think they’re watching Captain America meet his favorite performer, nobody realizes Y/N is hiding secrets that could change everything. Secrets involving HYDRA, Inhumans… and a dead S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who isn’t actually dead.
When Y/N finally arrives at Avengers Tower, Tony Stark discovers she spent years trying to find him… and that every letter, every phone call, and every attempt to reach him had been secretly intercepted. As Tony struggles to rebuild a relationship with the daughter he never knew he lost, Y/N is reunited with someone else from her past: Loki, the friend she knew long before he became the God of Mischief. Between hidden truths, old betrayals, and secrets that could shake the Avengers to their core, one family is just beginning to find each other.
