You do not use your voice among the Chozo (but the screaming never stops, like a mourning song unsung.) One-shot. A character study regarding the silence of Samus Aran.
After the events of THE WINTER SOLDIER, Natasha and her allies have been eliminating HYDRA splinter cells across America. When a secret HYDRA base is located in Alaska, Natasha and her strike team don't hesitate to open fire. But there's a catch: hostages, all of which are children. And despite the things they say about her, Black Widow has a heart./One-shot. Established Cap/Widow.
"They say her throne is of glass, poised to shatter at once — and her crown is of midnight, dark and gleaming — and her heritage is of fire, of things loved and lost, of sorrow and passion and pain." A reflection on the brutal journey of Celaena Sardothien. SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ "THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE," "THRONE OF GLASS," AND "CROWN OF MIDNIGHT."
"Where are we going?" says the Widow. "Anywhere," says the Hawk, and he wisely doesn't comment when another tear streaks the dirt on her pale, pale cheek. Budapest burns. All that Natalia Romanova knows burns with it. (Or, what happened after Clint spared Natasha's life in Budapest? One-shot. Sort of sequel to "Seven Devils." Stands alone as long as you read the 1st author's note.)
Natalia draws a fingertip across his jawline. "You are every inch a person... Every single piece of you."/The Soldier looks at his metal fingers, which rest against the nape of her neck. A person does not have a machine for an arm, and surely a person does not wonder if he is a person...The Soldier pins her with his stare. "Persuade me."/A soldier; an assassin. What could go wrong?
"Clint Barton is in love with me."/Maria's heart leaps into her throat, pounding, pounding. Her voice comes as if from a great distance, unfamiliar to her own ears, and it trembles. "I'm... I'm so happy for you, Natasha. He's a wonderful man."/Natasha takes a breath. "I don't love him."/He's an archer; she's a soldier. Maybe they are more than friends. One-shot.
She goes by many names and takes many forms, like a shifting shadow on a wall. Many men have called the Black Widow beautiful; they all mean something different, seeing what they want to see. But when this star-spangled soldier breathes the word on to her lips, she believes him./One-shot. Dedicated to Lauralot. 4 times men thought the Black Widow beautiful; 1 time it meant more.
Avengers fanfic. The one-sided Clint/Natasha relationship, as experienced by Hawkeye. One-shot. "It's the hawk and the arrow and Budapest – and the things he wants are always the things that crumble to ashes in his palm – but wanting is a kind of broken faith, and he has always dreamed of flying upon these battered wings." Also posted on Figment under Laura Genn.
After escaping Budapest, Natalia Romanova has been reluctantly admitted into S.H.I.E.L.D. Clint Barton, called Hawkeye — her savior from the days of blood and ash — is tasked with keeping an eye on her. This is hardly a simple task. To permit her survival is a compromise. Not all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents approve. Some, brave or foolish, take action. (One-shot. Developing Clint/Natasha.)
When the Guardians of the Galaxy do battle against a gang of Badoon space pirates, the Milano suffers severe damage, much to the horror of its pilot. Hoping to bring a smile back to Star Lord's face, Gamora resolves to earn enough units for the repairs by collecting a bounty. Her target: Natalia Alianovna Romanova, also known as the Black Widow. (Undertones of Peter/Gamora.)
he tastes like fire and steel and ash, like a thousand fractured yesterdays. she kisses him harder, long and deep, desperate and damaged, like a promise of tomorrow. - steve/natasha. 5 consecutive one-shots, some longer than others. timeline: post-avengers through post-winter soldier. [edit: the final one-shot has become a multi-chapter concluding arc.] COMPLETE.
"She tastes like hope and has none left to give."/Natasha Romanoff shatters; Clint Barton is there to pick up the pieces. He has faith and she has desperation, and they're surely not in love. Dedicated to @CinderScoria on Twitter, otherwise known as Lost in Translation. One-shot. Takes place directly after ICARUS (IN MY VEINS,) but still makes sense apart from that fanfic.
"Natasha struggles... desperately hoping that there is a man beneath the monster, that there is a heart and soul inside the bulging green muscle. Because if there isn't — if the monster can consume the man — then she's already dead, because she knows there is a devil inside of her, too." Natasha as she flees from the Hulk. Flashbacks. One-shot. Implied one-sided Clint/Natasha.
They are of the same proverbial bloodline, that of scarred sons and desecrated daughters — an unlikely pair of broken things. They have broken together. They have broken each other. So the story goes. So they shall be mended.
