    Summary

    First, it had been Juniper and Dylan. Those in District 7 stood with their mouths gaped open in shock as they watched the two teenagers get reaped for the 66th Hunger Games. Out of fear and denial, they tried to chalk it up to chance. After all, there was no way those kids had been picked.

    But when Cynthia and Jasper were reaped the following year the people could no longer deny it. This had nothing to do with chance. It was all by design. They were being chosen for a very specific purpose—to send a message to the district.

    By the time Willow and Finley had been reaped, everyone had come to expect it. The only consolation was that most families didn’t have to worry about their children getting sent to their deaths. They weren’t on what had been deemed the list.

    And so, by the time the 69th Hunger Games came around, Halle Croft knew she was next.

    Because she was the only one left.

    “When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world you fear what he might say.” - George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

    Summary

    A Marvel Cinematic Universe FanFiction

    While the Winter Soldier was a ghost story, Nadine Ryker is a ghost. She's The Ghost. Her past is a mystery, her identity even more so.

    Few knew her as Nadya Ivanovna Rykova, the lost recruit of the Red Room, never spoken of after her disappearance. But she got along just fine, hiding away with her secret life, re-emerging only to take contracts that few others are willing to take.

    To hunt other Assassins.

    But when she's contracted to take out Black Widow? Her long ago 'little sister'?

    Her life and her secrets all begin to unravel.

    ***

    This story is effectively split into two parts, with Part I focusing on themes of the price of secrets, family, self-acceptance and finding somewhere to belong, with the Steve/OC romantic sub-plot beginning in earnest in Part II.

    Part I starts just before Avengers: Age of Ultron and Part II starts shortly after AoU ends and goes through to just beyond Captain America: Civil War.

    Warning!! It is a *VERY SLOW BURN*

    Companion Story to "Haven" (formerly called 'Please Stay') and, though highly recommended, it's not necessary to have read it to enjoy this one!

    Summary

    Being in the band is always better than just watching the show.

    All Kate wanted was to earn a little extra cash by writing the history of Stark Industries. What she got instead was an encounter with the Tesseract, an overturned life, a group of remarkable misfits, and a new purpose.

    Having feelings for her best friend is great, unless revealing them will cost her everything. Is her new life worth being close to Steve, but never close enough?
