Quarrels and Quills

Devrin Olan The handsome vampire frowned. "No," he said coolly. "I believe I will not share the tale. If Sellia's feelings have not persisted, I should not continue to wallow in my own. I will only cause myself further heartbreak to dwell on a love that is no longer requited. Farewel...

Maria Yeats Maria's breath caught in her throat. Of course she wanted that. It had seemed so impossible. She had felt so unworthy of it. But perhaps in her wildest daydreams, every now and then she had allowed herself to imagine--' But had she obligated him? Pressured him, with talk of children? Ma...

Imiel, Marshal Knox, and Jameson Bryant Imiel assumed he would be one of the first S.H.I.E.L.D. would finish with. He knew nothing, and since he had only been on Earth for a few months, it was reasonable to expect that he would know nothing. As it turned out, though, the zealous S.H.I.E.L.D. agent ...
