I Only Did This to Be Sane (Not for You to Know My Name) by Kapua

Summary
His touch is soft, reverent, and she turns away from it. There's too much tenderness, too much emotion, but even as she puts space between them and ignores the wounded look in his eyes, she knows it's too late. He's made up his mind, already decided how they fit together and who she is to him, and the knowledge burns her just the same as if she'd shoved her hands into the embers at the bottom of a fire.
She is his queen, and the crown is heavy.

Summary
He realizes just a second too late that he's still staring and hasn't said anything, and she gives him a look that says she knows exactly what he's thinking.
"What? You didn't think you were the only one who could pull off a suit, did you?" she asks, lips edging into a smirk. It takes him another second to get his mouth and brain to cooperate, but when he does, he meets her challenging gaze head-on.
"No. Just surprised you can walk in those heels without tripping," he says with a pointed look. She just laughs, the sound rippling over him like water and making him feel light and heady in a way that the alcohol he's been drinking never could.

Summary
"You okay?" he asks quietly, and she lifts one shoulder in a half-shrug.
She's not okay. Not really. But she lets him lead her back to their bed anyways, lets him kiss her until it chases away the looming sense of imminent disaster, tries to lose herself in the feel of him beneath her fingertips. She grips him tight enough to brand half-moons from her nails into his skin, maps constellations across his skin with her mouth in an effort to remind herself that they're here. They're together, and she's not alone, and the loneliness inside of her is a lie.

Summary
It's both a relief to know that he doesn't recognize her and also unexpectedly painful.
There was a part of her, however small, that had thought that maybe he would see right through her glamours and know who she was in an instant, that their eyes would meet and it would be some sort of fairy tale reunion. She reminds herself that this is the whole point of her plan—to be unrecognizable so that she can keep him safe while hiding on the periphery of his life. A way to find her redemption amongst the ruins of the universe. But that can only lessen the sting so much, and her heart beats a painful reminder in her chest of everything she's lost.

Call Me Wild (Drinking Up the Sunshine) by Kapua

Summary
Sylvie walks into her room one day and freezes when she sees something suspiciously green sprouting from the top of the potted plant shoved carelessly in the windowsill. She reaches out with hesitant fingers to brush against the tiny leaf that is just beginning to unfurl there, angling itself to stretch towards the sun.
She watches in the following weeks as the plant begins to grow, and she imagines its roots reaching down into the soil, searching out new stability and nourishment so that it can grow.
She wonders for the first time if maybe she can do the same.

something like a four alarm fire by overnights

21 Aug 2021

Summary
Kate wakes the next morning to find Yelena curled into her side, their legs tangled together, their hands touching. Yelena blinks slowly at her, smiles. “Good morning,” she says, her voice still heavy with sleep and her accent softly sweet, and there’s that strange flash of familiarity again.
All of a sudden, the realization hits Kate like a sledgehammer: the accent, the blonde hair. The assassin Clint told her about earlier.
Okay. This looks bad.
[Yelena wants to lay Clint out. Kate just wants to get laid.]

catching time between my fingers by andibeth82

Summary
In 1995, under the darkness of an Ohio sky, Yelena climbed. And when Yelena missed a crucial step on the groove of the tree and slipped, Natasha immediately moved to catch her, even though it meant she was going to most certainly fall farther and faster and harder. Natasha had broken her arm. Yelena had only broken her pride. Later, when her injuries had been taken care of, she kissed Yelena’s hand and told her, “I’ll always fall with you.”
("She tends to do that,” Clint tells Yelena in 2023, sounding sad. “She jumps so you can’t. For everything.”)

Summary
For every year of her life they take, she takes twice the amount for herself and makes them pay with their blood. Of Black Widows who have no names and the trail of corpses they leave.
Alternatively: feelings suck and Natasha does not know how to be human. Laura kisses her cheek with a loud, wet pop when she tries to explain why she does not deserve good things, Natasha is conflicted.

you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone by andibeth82

Summary
“I’m not the killer little girls call their hero,” she tells Natasha in the middle of a convenience store, broken and bruised in more ways than one, because Natasha has just told her nothing in her life was real and Yelena only remembers the sister who once kissed away her tears and held her hand.
(In the middle of an Ohio field, where headstones dot the landscape like pebbles on a beach, Yelena leans down and puts her head against the one marking Natasha’s grave.
“You’re still my hero.”)
