Summary
Before she was Mom, she was Laura Barton. Before she left S.H.I.E.L.D., she was Agent 19. She was Ma’am. She was Mockingbird. Before she joined S.H.I.E.L.D., she was Laura. She was Laura, just Laura, when she met Natasha.
Natasha Romanov used to be a hero. Before that she was a villain, and before that she was a weapon. Before that, she has no idea. Maybe, she acknowledges, on her more masochistic days, she was a daughter, or a sister, or even a person. Now, she's dead.
----
When Laura's son goes missing with Clint still imprisoned on the Raft, Laura turns to the only option she has left. As she and Black Widow search for Nate and untangle the mystery of his abduction, they must re-learn how to work together, while simultaneously navigating the broken promises of their unresolved past.

Summary
So when she cornered the Winter Soldier and slammed him against the wall, her arm tight against his larynx and her other hand fisted in his Henley, his resounding and surprised gasp made her spine tingle in a way that a kill shouldn’t.
“I loved him first.” She says indignantly, and the Winter Soldier just looked at her with those pale eyes, but Natasha could only continue, “You don’t even know how to love. I do.”

Summary
“She’s jealous you get to do the solo,” Natasha pointed out. “She’s trying to ruin it for you.”
“So?” Lila retorted. “We can still kick her stupid face in. Daddy says if someone starts a fight, I can finish it. And she started it.”
“Brawling ballerinas isn’t in the playbill today,” Natasha warned. She stood, toed off her shoes, and kicked them aside. Clint would kill her…. “But I know how we can shut her up.”
Written for the prompt: Early in their partnership, Clint is stuck on a job in Malaysia, Laura and Cooper are home with the flu, that leaves Natasha alone to go to Lila's dance recital. She just has to show up, right?

Mom, am I still young? (Can I dream for a few months more?) by lieutenanttrouble

Summary
The landline hadn’t rung in five years. It was one of those brutal Soviet models, too — black plastic casing, wire-twisted like entrails, the kind of thing you’d find on a warship or in a bunker next to an ashtray and a cyanide capsule. When it screamed to life at 6:41 AM, Melina nearly shot it.
But it was Alexei, voice gravely-sniveling into the receiver and sounding like someone had stepped on his throat. “She’s— she’s gone. Melina. Nata—” A crackle of static. "Natasha’s dead."

Summary
A sound tore out of her before she could stop it, ragged and broken. It was the sound of an animal caught in a trap. It was the sound of desperation curdling in her veins.
She curled instinctively, cradling her injured shoulder, breath coming in short, ragged pulls. Her whole world narrowed in that moment to pain and cold and the smell of damp earth inches from her face.
Her body felt heavy. Immovable. For a second, she didn’t try to get up.
A second was all it took.
The tears came without permission, hot against ashen skin that barely felt temperature anymore. They mixed with rain and mud and tracked down into the dirt beneath her cheek.
She pressed her forehead against the ground, her fingers digging into wet leaves.
“Natasha—” The name broke on the way out. “I don’t know—”
Her throat closed.
“I don’t know if I can do this.”
The admission felt obscene. Weak. Unacceptable.
But it was true in that moment.
“Please,” she choked out, the word a broken, strangled thing lying on the ground next to her, unable to carry itself anymore than she was. “Forgive me.”CW: Survival Horror with graphic injury and death.

Summary
She floats to the parked car, the weak Washington sun sweet on her bared shoulders. One of the Natalias of the past knew a poem about spring – some of the lines whisper through her mind, trailing like smoke, shifting between Russian and English like a radio trying to hold on to a station through the static.
Afterwards, Natasha does what she does best – she starts over.

Summary
They had Sam turn the wings back in.
He got another medal to go in the shoebox under his bed, but they took the wings, shook his hand, and sent him home. He went back to the VA on Monday morning, to be surprised by a Costco sheetcake reading “OUR HERO” at lunch and un-surprised by a massive clog of paperwork on his desk.
He went running around the Mall in the early mornings. He wasn’t expecting to see Steve, but he was still somehow surprised when he heard no amused and irritatingly-not-breathless voice chirp out, “On your left,” somewhere behind him. Steve was off with his manila folder of secrets, tearing into old archives and chasing down reported sightings of a ghost. As SHIELD unraveled on international television, Captain Rogers made no more appearances there than he did on the DC Mall, but Natasha Romanoff showed up in pixels: steel-spined and unruffled, her hair falling in straight lines beside her unblinking eyes.

Summary
- "On three, we scream." Natasha's smile glints dangerously in the moonlight. It's reflected in Steve's eyes. They count down together and then yell into the dark. They yell until they can't anymore, and then they sit down and listen to the highway while the trees watch over them. Blond hair and red hair. Sunshine and blood. -
Steve and Natasha become friends almost accidentally. It’s a frightening thing, to look at another person and see your own anger staring back at you. To love them for it anyway. To love them for it because of it.

Summary
It's always a dance.
Sometimes it's a game, too: some dances are playful, and sometimes play means the equivalent of giggling in corners and sometimes it's the equivalent of just barely pulling your punches because you're only trying to make the other person call uncle, not actually hurt them. But sometimes it's not a game, sometimes it doesn't need to be and sometimes it damn well shouldn't be.
It's always a dance.
