Summary
Lennon Wilde is a vet tech in Atlanta when the world falls apart. She knows how to work hard, stay useful, and never ask for too much—lessons learned young on her grandparents' farm. But survival in the apocalypse requires different skills: trusting people who haven't earned it, accepting help she can't repay, and believing she deserves to take up space even when she's not being useful.
Found family, slow burn, and one anxious vet tech learning that the end of the world might be the beginning of actually living.
Canon divergent AU —some events may unfold differently. Follows The Walking Dead's general timeline and events with an original character.

Summary
Tony Stark and Adelaide Rousseau thrive on sharp wit, undeniable chemistry, and an unspoken rule—no attachments. She always slips away before morning, and he never asks her to stay. But between electric encounters and moments of unexpected intimacy, neither can ignore the pull. They tell themselves it’s just fun, just temporary. But after the events of Iron Man, ‘no strings’ won’t be an option anymore.

Summary
You’ve always known there’s more to Bob Reynolds than the sweet smiles and soft eyes.
Working late in the Watchtower, the line between friendship and something far more dangerous starts to blur- and when his control slips, you’re left facing the side of him no one talks about. The one that doesn’t ask. The one that takes.
Now you’re not sure what’s more terrifying: how much you liked it… or the fact that Bob doesn’t remember a thing.
Or
Void fucks you raw, leaves you ruined on a conference table- and Bob comes back, still buried inside you, with no idea what just happened.
-----UPDATED: NOW A SECOND PART-----

Summary
When you bump into a stranger at a charity gala, you don’t expect him to be awkward, soft-spoken, or devastatingly handsome. You definitely don’t expect him to be an Avenger- let alone the one no one talks about. But tonight, he’s not the Sentry. He’s just Bob. And somehow, that makes him even more dangerous.
Or
Bob isn’t used to his powers- ends up breaking the reader’s bed, wall, and maybe her uterus.
Also, he whimpers. Because of course he does.Series

Summary
marvel au - bucky x personal assistant!reader
personal assistant rules: don’t crush on bucky barnes. definitely don’t misinterpret a flower delivery and spiral into silent heartbreak, and absolutely never ever get stuck alone with him in an elevator.
—
His mouth was merciless. His grip was unrelenting on your thighs, mouth working you over like a man possessed—
Bzzzzt.
A shrill, sudden buzz sounded from the elevator’s emergency panel, followed by a crackling voice.
“Hello? This is Tower Maintenance. We’re registering an emergency stop on lift three. Is there an issue?”
You froze. Every muscle in your body went rigid, as if someone had cracked open your spine and poured ice water down it. Dread spread like frost through your veins. Your heart thudded painfully in your throat, threatening to climb up and out entirely.
You could barely breathe. Could barely think.
This was it. This was how you died—legs spread, Bucky between them, and Tower Maintenance on the fucking line.

Summary
“Catfish?”
“I’m sorry?”
“Did you get catfished?”
Nope, he definitely heard her right. “I don’t know what that means.”
“When your online date pretends to be someone they’re not.”
“Yeah. Wait there’s a name for that?”
“Yeah, it’s a thing. There’s a TV show. And a documentary.”-
Bucky promises Sam he'll try to get out and meet more people. Online dating goes about as well as you'd expect.
