Summary
The fall is longer than Natasha expects.
It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

Summary
You could tell her about New Year’s, offer that as a compromise. But Monica’s worth more than another broken promise, even if you’re sure you won’t break it. // or: five times monica didn't realize how much carol sacrificed + one time she did.

Summary
A lot of stories start with "a man walks into a bar", but these days a lot of stories that start that way end pretty badly.
Steve tries not to think about that too hard as he approaches the door off the alley just past the corner of 55th and Broadway. The alley smells like grease and garbage and everything else a New York City alley usually smells like, and when Steve opens the swinging door there's nobody in the storeroom of the deli.
He takes a left at the canned peas, and the second door is there, right where his source said it would be. He tries the knob, and it turns easily and opens into a dingy staircase that nobody's cleaned in a long while. It's dark, and Steve wonders for a minute if they're open, but then he hears it - the clink of a glass, the low murmur of conversation. He's in the right place.
It's not exactly reassuring.

Summary
There is a tap on the table top and a quiet, “Scusatemi, signorina,” and she looks up. There is a boy there, no more than twenty, and he is undoubtedly American, though his Italian is so polished that even she would be unsure if not for his hesitant slouch— discomfort, it says I am out of place. His gaze is not demanding. It is not cold, either— but intelligent, distant. Not assessing, but calculating. As if she is made of code, and he is reading her.
“I speak English,” she tells him, “better than Italian.”
He slumps with something akin to relief. “Oh- that’s. That’s cool. I’m really sorry to ask-“ and he looks it, wincing and pulling his own fingers, “-but would it be okay if I sit with you? My mamma is in a formaggeria across the piazza and I desperately don’t want to stand in there and smell cheese for an hour so I was gonna grab an espresso but every other table is filled and I don’t want to impose but—?” He looks at her. He is sharp, ardent with a wisdom that puts her teeth on edge. No young man should look like that: as if he has stared straight into the barrel of a gun and laughed at the bullet, swallowed it whole.
He looks old for his age. He just. He looks.

Summary
Clint was thinking that they'd have to wing it and then put the kid in therapy when he was eighteen or so, like every other preschooler out there who'd just had their world undone.
(Or, the Bartons, after the last Snap.)

Summary
“Do you see?” Urd whispers. “Do you?”
Natasha looks up at the Tree, then down at her hands. She thinks about her broken body at the base of that cliff; she thinks about Tony’s trembling fingers and his lacerated arm. She thinks about wormholes and brave tin men with two hearts: one in their vulnerable, all-too-human bodies and one outside, an indestructible symbol, shining blue for all the world to see. She thinks about closing portals too soon and earth’s mightiest heroes and loving a man who lets go when she wants to stay and letting go herself to the lullaby of her best friend’s screams. She thinks about the harbingers of a better life, about letters crashing to the ground, leaving the only one that matters, the first, battered and bruised but still standing. She thinks about what it is to be a part of something.
What it is to assemble.

Summary
She spends the next hour with Tony at Pepper’s bedside, wiping blood from his skin, sewing up gaping wounds, and plying him with painkillers and water. When she is done, she leaves him to grieve in peace, but she sinks down just outside the door, finally crumbling. With her head in her hands, she remembers what she told Shuri, about rebuilding. Then she contemplates what it means to rebuild something that perhaps was never there in the first place.

Everyone is dead. Maybe this means the Avengers can finally talk.

Summary
Bobbi didn't know how to stop being a spy around other people, just needed ten minutes outside of that skin, ten minutes where she learned how to drop the angles Hunter always accused her of maintaining even around him.
No beaches, no people, no memories eating her from the inside out.

Summary
“There was a file on me in the archive from the information dump," says Natasha. "Not my personnel file. I think it must have been Hydra’s. Either that or it belonged to someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. who wasn’t sharing with anybody else.”
“What did it say?” asks Clint, the beginning of understanding coloring his voice. He knows where this is going, she thinks, or at least has the basic idea.
“Mostly what I already knew,” she admits. “Just--written somewhat more--colorfully, let’s say.”
“But that’s not what’s bugging you now. That’s not why you called.”
This is the story of Natasha's search for her parents.
