Sorceress of Time (Thanos X Human OC) - Chapter 5- The Sorceress of Time - (Part 1) (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/aaFT5PCwq9 Katiya Henfield thought of herself as nothing more than an ordinary, forgettable girl. That was until the day she was murdered. Now armed with mysterious new powers she finds herself within the ranks of the Avengers and under the watchful gaze of the mysterious Dr. Strange. But even with the mightiest heroes at her back, Kat still winds up at the mercy of the universe's greatest foe, Thanos. Aboard Sanctuary, she finds Thanos to be her complete opposite. But it is only during a harrowing journey amongst the stars that both find not only a sense of belonging but an emotion they never believed possible: Love. Will Katiya be able to reverse the tides of time and save the Mad Titan from himself? And what chance could one girl have at saving all of infinity?

This is for a Marvel Fanfiction (does not have mature material). Please let me know if you are interested!

Why I Am Taking Acting Classes

Why I Am Taking Acting Classes

Ever feel like you’re about to throw up when faced with a crowd watching you present something or other?
