    Summary

    Y/n has spent her life walking the fine line between salvation and damnation.

    A rogue force of nature, she commands the shadows and the souls of the lost, but at a terrible cost–she is haunted by every spirit she has ever absorbed. A lone force against supernatural threats, she has spent years avoiding SHIELD, the Avengers, and anyone who might try to control her… Again.

    But when a dark power rises, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with Earth’s mightiest heroes; Fighting alongside the Avengers, Y/n begins to find something she never expected–connection, trust, and.. Maybe even love.

    Yet, the darkness within her is growing, and if she can’t control it, she may become the very thing that she’s been running from her whole life, what they’re fighting against.

    In the battle for the soul–both her own and the world’s–Y/n must decide once and for all where she stands.

    Summary

    “Natasha,” she says. Out of the corner of your eye, you see her—her hair a muted copper, an umbrella clutched in one hand and the other tucked into the pocket of her leather jacket. She stands on the edge like it’s a park bench rather than a drop that would leave you with more broken bones than years you’ve lived.

    You wait for her to ask for your name—it doesn’t come. Neither does a, “What’s wrong?” or “Come down from there.”

    “Cold tonight,” she continues, as if you had spoken. “My knees haven’t ached this bad since ’09. You’ve been up here a while.”

    The words sting; you wonder how she knows. The truth is blunt, painful, aching like the bruises on your ribs. You can only imagine how you must look, soaked to the bone, looking all the part of a drowned rat. Filthy, your mother had muttered last week. I don’t know what to do with you anymore.

    Finally, somehow, you find your voice. “You should go.”

    Natasha tilts her head. “Probably,” she agrees, before tipping the umbrella towards you.

    On the eve of your death, someone joins you as you stand on the ledge.

    Summary

    Imagine a villain getting injured and losing their memory and the heroes finding them and taking them with them and taking care of them and the villain gets their memory back after like a week but doesn’t want to say anything because the heroes are being so nice to them and nobody has been that nice to them in so long and they don’t want it to end and they’re maybe getting fond of the heroes but don’t tell anyone shhh. But eventually something happens and the heroes are in trouble and they’re trying to get the villain to run away because they still think they’re an amnesiac with no idea how to defend themself and they’ve grown to like them and don’t want them to get hurt but the villain just pushes past them toward whatever is trying to hurt the heroes and just fuckin goes guns blazing and destroys them

    Summary

    This story contains action, violence and mature themes as well as foul language, anxiety and mentions of death(s), but there will also be humor and lighter themes as the story continues and the plot matures. If you don't like to read about such themes, feel free to pass this story, thank you.

    Everyone else who are reading and following this story, I'd like to say thank you for your support, and thank you for bearing with my slow writing pace, real life is sometimes a hassle and has a tendency to keep me away from my laptop and away from my writing hobby.

    I don't own Marvel and its characters (still), Marvel stole my heart when I saw the first X-Men movie.

     

    love, ghost
