Summary
China and the northern steppe have been bleeding each other dry for generations — one slow border stone at a time, one unanswered treaty at a time, one burial at a time. Shan Yu rides south carrying thirty years of his father's patience and two fresh graves. Hua Mulan rides north in her father's armor, carrying his name like a borrowed life and a country that will not remember her name correctly even if she survives to let it.
Shan Yu is not what they said he was. Neither is Mulan. It takes both of them longer than it should to figure out that this is the most dangerous thing they've learned about each other.
A historically grounded, slow burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance set along the fault lines of Northern Wei China and the Rouran confederation. Rated E for wartime violence, grief, political consequence, moral ambiguity, explicit sexual content and two people taking far too long to admit what everyone else already knows.

Summary
Sergeant James “Bucky” Barnes believes he endured HYDRA alone. Pulled from decades of captivity and torture, he struggles to rebuild a life stolen piece by piece by the Winter Soldier program.
Nurse Josephine Reed was created to contain him. To heal the Winter Soldier so he could be broken again. Instead, she became his only mercy.
This is a story of trauma, recovery, and love that endures beyond memory.
Some stories break you.
Some stories heal you.
This one asks you to earn both.
