Summary
Alternate Universe to Nightingale (though it can be read as a Stand Alone)
They were inexperienced and insecure and when they were found they ran, to another country, another family, new lives. Years later, everything’s changed, they’re older, wiser, stronger; and if found out, this time they won’t run, this time they will fight, they will stand together, with magic and deductions.
(Sherlock BBC crossover and reworking the first Avengers movie).
If you decide to read this as a Stand Alone, please read the notes at the beginning, they're important.

Summary
Alternate Universe to Nightingale (can be read as a Stand Alone)
The choices made by two people shall forever alter the lives of four, who will in turn go forth to change the rest of the world and, possibly, the universe. The Caterpillars have morphed into Butterflies and they will spread their wings and take the world in, transforming it, one mission at a time.
If you read this as a Stand Alone, all you need to know is that this takes characters from the MCU and two major OFCs, it's an AU for both my original fic and the MCU, the changes are explained in the story itself.

Summary
Alternate Universe to Nightingale (works as Stand Alone)
The plan was for her to stay away, to be safe... it required a sacrifice, one they were willing to make. The plan never was for her to become a fighter and join the war against an alien army, yet some things are just meant to be. Some destinies have been written in the stars since the beginning of time...
Or, The one where, no matter her name, She will always be a warrior deep inside and all roads lead to Rome (or New York... as the case may be).
If you read this as a Stand Alone, all you need to know is that this takes characters from the X-Men moviverse, the MCU and two major OFCs, it's an AU for both my original fic and the two fandoms (only the first X-Men movie happened as in canon), the changes are explained in the story itself.

Summary
Sequel to Nexus and Necklace of Songs.
What's the true difference between fate and destiny? Or are they the same thing? Is the future written in stone, to stand through time or in sand, to be washed away by the change of the tide. How much can the actions of a handful of individuals change the world... the universe even?
(Or the one where I pretty much rewrite the entire MCU... and a few more fandoms for good measure)

Summary
Companion and Sequel to Fate and Destiny
'A Rose is a rose is a rose'... much poetry has been written about roses, about their scent and symbolism, but it's much more complex than those words might suggest. Because no two roses are identical, each one of them has their own meaning, their own significance, their own history, their own life.
Or the one where Rose Alfdis gets to tell her own story.
