Hayes Callahan has spent years telling Y/N the same thing. One day, she’d be his wife. One day, they’d have a family. One day, she’d stop getting on a plane every few months just to say goodbye all over again. Neither of them expected “one day” to arrive while they were twenty, attending different colleges, and living hundreds of miles apart. Now Y/N has a positive pregnancy test, Hayes is chasing an NHL dream in North Dakota, and life suddenly looks nothing like the plan they made as teenagers. Long distance was already hard. This might be their biggest test yet.

So when Beau heads back to Briar for junior year, he’s preparing for another semester of FaceTime calls, airport reunions, and counting down the days until he sees his girlfriend again. What he doesn’t know is that she’s secretly transferred to Briar. And thanks to Dean Di Laurentis, she’s currently hiding in the hockey house waiting to ruin his entire evening.
With nowhere else to go, you’re forced to move in with the older brother who disappeared from your life two years ago — and into the dangerous world he built without you. What was supposed to be temporary quickly turns complicated when living under his protection means sharing space with people who don’t trust outsiders, secrets that never stay buried, and a city where loyalty matters more than innocence. In a world full of violence, tension, and blurred lines, the safest place you can go might also be the hardest one to escape.

Three years after leaving the neighborhood she grew up in, she returns to Blackwater for her father’s birthday expecting nothing more than a short visit and old memories. Instead, coming home forces her back into the lives of the people she never fully stopped loving — her loud, affectionate family, the neighborhood that still feels like home no matter how dangerous it can be, and Zion Reed, the cocky ex-boyfriend she thought she had moved on from years ago. But in Blackwater, nobody forgets anything for long.

She was supposed to be his greatest weakness. Instead, she became the only person who could reach him. Their marriage was arranged. Their bond was destined. Falling in love was their choice. For nearly a year, Kieran Voss had everything he never thought he wanted—a wife he loved, a Luna he trusted, and a life that finally felt like his own. Then {y/n} disappeared without a trace. Now, nearly a year later, she has been found alive at the edge of his territory. But she remembers nothing about where she’s been. And Kieran isn’t the same man she left behind.

Steve Rogers has a problem. Apparently, he has two daughters. Not toddlers. Not teenagers. Twenty-three-year-old twins who have known he was their biological father their entire lives. The problem? Steve has never met them. After a stolen sample of Steve's DNA was unknowingly used in a fertility program, two girls were born and raised by their mother, Victoria. They grew up knowing exactly who their father was—or, at least, who he was supposed to be. To them, Steve Rogers was a name, a photograph, a piece of family history. Then Steve was found alive. The girls eventually learned the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. kept their connection private, Victoria raised them, and life went on. They grew up, built lives of their own, and never waited around for Captain America to come knocking. Until Nick Fury decides that, after twenty-three years, maybe it's time they finally meet. There is no dramatic reunion. No instant family. No magical fixing of two decades of absence. Just Steve Rogers trying to figure out how to meet two adult daughters who don't need him—and two women deciding whether they even want him in their lives. And, because apparently Steve Rogers' life wasn't complicated enough, the Avengers are eventually going to find out. Especially Thor.
