Summary
If this is it, Natasha thinks, dragging herself away from the edge, painfully slow and painfully painful, rough rock underneath her scraping her hands and knees in her far from elegant escape from death.
If this is it, it's not so bad.
She rolls over onto her back. The sky is a clear blue, pale with thin clouds drifting aimlessly. There's a metaphor here somewhere, but she can't quite grasp it.
"Get up," a voice says.

Summary
When Bucky Barnes returns to New York after being deprogrammed in Wakanda, The Avengers are shocked to discover that he and Clint have already met. Clint’s not delighted to have this previously-unknown part of his history dragged up after all these years, but he also doesn’t want to keep secrets from his teammates, so he agrees to tell them the story of how he met the Winter Soldier.
After a job goes south, 21-year-old Clint finds himself stranded. In order to get out of town, he takes a job as a tribute act while trying to lay low. Unfortunately, this brings with it a whole new set of problems, including learning dance routines, uncovering whatever super-sketchy business his new bosses are into, working out how much body glitter is too much body glitter, and figuring out why he keeps getting butterflies in his stomach whenever the super-hot bodyguard-slash-dance instructor looks at him.
Behold as The Amazing Hawkeye ignores good advice and makes terrible choices! Gasp as our favorite archer juggles spying with rehearsals! Marvel in wonder as he explores his burgeoning sexuality!

Summary
"Despite having joined the Royal Navy at the tender age of eleven, and having in the twenty-three years that followed seen action in several naval battles (and a not-insignificant number of personal altercations whilst on shore leave, the specifics of which are not relevant here, but which, it should be noted, were largely instigated by one Steven Grant Rogers), James Buchanan Barnes managed to make it to his thirty-fourth birthday with all of his original limbs and teeth intact."
***
When Bucky Barnes loses his arm he assumes that's the end of his career as a sailor, but his friend Steve has other ideas involving the notorious pirate captain Clint Barton.

Summary
It seems horribly fitting that when Marta’s soulbond arrives, it’s in the most absurdly ridiculous, horrible way imaginable. It involves the Thrombeys, so of course something that should be wonderful just ends up being terrible in the end.

Summary
With a sharp breath, he spits it out: “I want you to come with me.”
Slade stares at him, eye going wide, hand stilling in Jason’s hair. Anxiety runs laps in his gut — he tries to tamp it down with a deep breath, but every second of silence is making it worse. “You… want me to come to your family dinner,” Slade says slowly, like he’s not quite sure he heard him right.
or: jason todd brings slade wilson home. it goes better than he thought it would.

Summary
If Talia was here, she would know that the smile curling Natasha's lips — painted a deep red — is a warning sign. Something to be wary of. She would be even more aware of the danger of Natasha's downcast gaze, that seeing only that sliver of green is another warning sign.
Likely, if Talia was here, Natasha would not be about to kill everyone else in the room.
But Talia is not here.
