Even if you've never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | No Romance】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers-someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script... a doomed background character. But that's fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick's group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. "Why is everyone running to her side?" Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. "Damn... because following her means you actually thrive." Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States... all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won't follow or assist Rick's group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

Sequel to Wandavision, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness. 3 words altered history. Three words destroyed the multiverse. Three words erased all mutants and the X-Men from existence. Three words created the entire MCU. Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Tearjerker This is the start of my interconnected universe of stories. Avengers: Incursion War is 31 chapters in length, the rest are follow up stories that connect with it in a big way. This takes place after the following MCU projects: Wandavision, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Quantumania, Fantastic Four and Loki S2. *Incursion War was being written in mid 2022 to early 2023, so if there are some inaccuracies it is because some things may be outdated because of current mcu projects that released afterwards* "Someone is coming! Countless different versions of a VERY dangerous person and they're ALL set on war, we need to prepare!" -Loki This story is a massive Avengers event by scale, but in essence, it is a very deep character driven journey at its core, as well as setting the stage for Marvel's next Endgame. The part where this story shines with its full glory is with its heart and soul. There are three to four leading roles, but only two is revealed in the description - Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff. This event would change the MCU forever. This story is loosely inspired by the following amazing comics: House of M Secret Wars (2015) Kang Dynasty Avengers: The Children's Crusade Avengers vs X-Men #1 Inner-Struggle 20/07/2022 #1 Characterstudy 20/07/2022 #1 Magneto 19/08/2022 Disclaimer: This is fan fiction, I do not own any of the characters in this story.

Aria has spent most of her life hiding behind quiet words, half-formed thoughts, and invisible walls. At twenty-three, after the culmination of years of family pressure, inner doubts, and unspoken pain, she finds herself admitted to a mental health clinic. It is here, among sterile corridors and muted light, that she begins to confront what she has long avoided: herself. Dr. Anya Suriya is assigned to guide her through the difficult work of healing. Calm, intelligent, and empathetic, Anya represents both authority and refuge. Aria struggles at first to speak, to trust, to believe that anyone could hold her fragility without breaking it. But slowly, carefully, a connection forms subtle, tender, charged with emotions Aria has never allowed herself to feel. As therapy sessions unravel years of trauma and silence, Aria begins to discover something deeper: that healing is not just surviving pain, but learning to live in it; that love is not just an external comfort, but a reflection of how she can embrace herself. Where Love Meets Silence is a poignant and intimate journey of trauma, self-discovery, and forbidden romance a story about how the heart learns to heal while daring to trust again.

When Zahir Yilmaz's ex-fiance shattered his world, I became his escape-a temporary placeholder for the girl he couldn't have. He promised me nothing, and I expected nothing. But funny things happen when you pretend to be the perfect substitute: like starting to hope it isn't all a performance.
