    Summary

    Being named after the stars was a common thing, people see their beauty and their magnificence, and they want it for their own. Stars hold a sense of wonder, of power, of time and space and everything in-between. They have an innocence to them, a feeling of safety, of a higher being looking down on the world, glistening from the galaxies.

    Stella was named after these stars, but not for any of the above reasons. Her name was chosen because stars were made up of fire, they burned brightly- just as she did. She had spent her whole life being Nick Fury's super-powered child assassin, it was all she knew and the main lesson he had taught her was to kill or be killed. She was his brightest star, his favorite killing machine- but everybody knows stars shine their brightest when they are about to burn out.

    When SHIELD falls, and she is suddenly at risk of being exposed, Fury sends her to his other heroes, the Avengers, and Stella learns there's a whole lot more to life than Nick Fury had ever taught her.

    Or, Tony Stark has a problem not adopting troubled and parentless children, especially ones that shine brightly once he enters a room.

    Summary

    There wasn’t much Astrid remembered of her father’s home. She remembered tall apple trees in the garden, a woman’s voice as she sang of long winters and beautiful springs, the smell of freshly baked bread. And then, of course, how it all burnt down.
    ---
    Astrid Eiriksdottir knows her place. Somewhere in the back, behind the Queen of Asgard who taught her so much, seeing everything but never be seen. She is the child of a traitor, a hostage taken to Asgard to make her aunt keep her head low after her brothers' failed rebellion. Astrid has a home and Frigga's trust, and she is proud of everything she achieved even when it means she has to grit her teeth and keep her head low most of the time, so that nobody could see her as a threat. But then she sparks the interest of Loki and suddenly, she finds herself on a path that goes against everything she taught herself to survive.

    When your parents' expertise sees them summoned to the Palace to help with the project, they come with you in tow. You are convinced it will be a week of long meetings and hard work; perhaps interspersed with some time to enjoy the luxuries the Palace can provide- but your hopes are dashed the very moment you step foot on the grounds and catch the younger Prince’s eye.
    When his persistence becomes more than annoyance, and he offers you an out through an unexpected game; your own curiosity reveals him to be more than he appears, and the two of you develop a relationship neither one had planned for.
    As this bond sets in motion a break in the timeline- and a frightening series of events- you are caught up in something that is impossible for either of you to contain.

    And it could cost you both your lives.
