Summary
Steve grins at her, though, a wide affectionate grin, and Natasha reaches up to adjust the snap on her black baseball cap, shrugging it off like it’s nothing. Steve and Wanda do eat here almost every single day, sure. But so do a lot of other people in Stark’s Hollow, and while Natasha is generally observant, if she was pressed on the subject, she’d have no idea what foreign language the Parker kid is taking, or how the radiator in Miss Agatha’s car is holding up, or exactly how many dogs Thor actually owns now.
[Gilmore Girls au, in which Natasha is Luke, Steve is Lorelai, and it doesn't matter that Bucky and Sam are Sookie and Jackson, but it's important to me that you know it.]

Summary
“You love her a lot.” Steve says it like it’s simple, and sometimes, Natasha doesn’t know why it can’t be. She does love Yelena – she loves Yelena ferociously. Her sparkplug little sister, irreverent and fearless, who has never given even half a shit about what anyone thinks of her. When she was four, she fell running on a gravel road and scraped her knees to bloody ribbons – and when she saw how badly she’d hurt herself, muttered “Gross,” and jumped back up to keep playing. When she was six and a teacher corrected her that having different daddies meant Natasha was only her half-sister, Yelena bit her on the arm and refused to apologize.
The thing that burns Natasha most is that she remembers a time when her family was happy – or at least, when things were easier.
[AU. Natasha's a hotshot Hollywood producer with a truckload of childhood issues. When their father gets out of prison, Yelena asks her to come spend Christmas with the family for the first time in a decade. She drags Steve Rogers, who she's casually banging, along to be her buffer. The author desperately wanted Steve to interact with the Russian Chaos Family and canon has broken her heart too much, so this happened instead.]

Summary
They never should have fallen in love; Natasha had known from the beginning what a bad match they were. He’s too earnest by half, always willing to get his hands dirty but never relishing the prospect, and when he and Tony first started working together – well, Steve has a wild streak in him, a need to prove something, plus a love for the craft, but it was also because he had needed the money too badly to let his better angels shout down his demons. His mother was sick, his student loans were paralyzing, and by the time his mother had died and he could buy a Brooklyn brownstone with cash, loyalty had set in. He was always there to be sure that if they skirted legality, they never ruined anyone’s life and they never left a trace.
Natasha does this because she likes it and she’s good at it. For her, it’s never been complicated.
[An Inception AU.]

Summary
There are about seventeen different platforms available for video calls, but since no one could agree on which was the best, Okoye went full-general and finally made a declaration: all group calls will be done via Google meets, everyone will use a computer and stay seated for the duration of the conversation, and no one will snack on anything crunchy or slurpy. “No more multitasking,” she ordered. “We’re gonna focus and be present for each other.”
Months later, when they’ve been having these calls for far longer than anyone expected, Natasha’s sort of glad they put a formal structure in place. Anytime she’s had spurts of annoyance, she’s self-aware enough to know that the root cause is she’s sick of video calls, period – they’re weirdly draining, in a way she never would have expected. But it’s also the only time she gets to see anyone besides Clint, James, and randoms when it’s her turn to hit the grocery store; it’s this or nothing. She misses her friends.
[A one-shot in the runaways are running the nightverse: Natasha, Nakia, Okoye, Jessica Jones, and Valkyrie are an all-girl rock band; Natasha, Clint, and Bucky are in a relationship, and now everyone's in quarantine, making the best of it.]

Summary
The need inside him is obliterating. It’s a black hole that is crushing the rest of his life up against the edges, squeezing them into whatever small spaces it hasn’t already eaten. He’s never felt desperation like this in his life; he knows he’s called out - that he’s been calling out. And he knows he damn well should be afraid of the thing that was finally intrigued enough to come answer.
He opens his eyes, and there is a woman standing at the edge of the cliff. Standing in the spot where Natasha saved his life and killed something vital inside him in the same movement.
The woman is not Natasha.
Or: Clint Barton makes a deal.
[Post Endgame.]

Summary
All those times Steve settled for their secret language and silent communication, he should have used his words. Pep talks to rally the troops come easy, but in those stolen moments with Natasha, he never told her in words how much he loved her. He should have.
Stolen moments between Steve and Natasha throughout their partnership and beyond Endgame with some grieving in between.

Summary
Troy is so rich he doesn’t even know how rich he actually is, because his wealth fluctuates from day to day, which he didn’t even know was a thing unless you had all your bills set to autopay or something. He’s so rich he can get the extra bacon on sandwiches until he dies.
