The Amaranth Bond (Johnny Storm x Black!OC Fanfic) - (FIC IS COMPLETED)
Disclaimer: This is a Fantastic Four AU fanfiction. I do not own Marvel, its characters, or related media; only Selara Veyara (OC) and original worldbuilding belong to me. Franklin Richards is aged up for narrative purposes.
Summary: Princess Selara Veyara of Amarune was born to be a power source, not a person. On the eve of her Binding, she tears her destiny apart and flees across galaxies to Earth—arriving in 1964 Manhattan, where neon hums, civil rights protests rise, and the Fantastic Four are just beginning to define what it means to be heroes. Drawn into their orbit, Selara must balance secrecy, survival, and the first fragile sparks of connection with Johnny Storm.
AU:Â The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)Â reimagined as a retro-futurist period AU, blending cosmic fantasy with grounded 1960s New York. Franklin is aged up to better serve his role as both a peer and celestial mirror to Selara.
Themes:Â Found family, destiny vs. choice, alienation and belonging, cross-cultural translation, the cost of power, Black beauty as inspiration, and the vulnerability of first love.
