    Summary

    There were many rumours about the Black Widow, some of which might even have been true. The most reliable of these were presented to Clint in maybe the sketchiest mission briefing he'd ever received, full of words like 'allegedly' and 'probably' and 'although it seems unlikely' which seemed out of place in a SHIELD file. There was only one piece of information that truly surprised him.

    "We seriously don't know what her dæmon is, sir?" he asked Coulson.

    Summary

    Thea Cooper is newly turned 40 and moved back to Gotham after 15 years away to take a job as the director and head curator of the Gotham History Museum. It feels like failure to move home with a failed relationship at her age but she's going to make the most of it.

    Gotham is worse than she remembers and wants to help her city through the museum, including working in conjunction with Babs at the public library.

    Things are going smoothly until they aren't. Her college ex she hasn't seen in nearly 20 years is on the museum board and hotter than ever (AKA Bruce Wayne), some colleagues challenge her every idea, the women's shelter she volunteers at in the East End is under constant pressure from the mob, and Thea has a massive academic paper to research and write as part of her job.

    But wait, there's more!

    Will her violent past and present catch up with her before she can explain it to the new and old friends in her life?

    22 chapters planned with no solid ending. Suggestions welcome!

    Summary

    Once Dreykov was dead, once the Red Room was gone, things would be different.

    That's what Natasha was telling herself again and again.

    Once he was gone, she would be free—whatever that meant. She just had to kill him. Easy.

    (Not so easy.)

    Or,

    Natasha makes a different call in Budapest and that might just change her whole life.

    Summary

    "So, we’ve got one girl on the team, five guys, and—wait, do you count Banner when he’s green? Is that like a two-for-one situation?”

    “Two girls,” Natasha said flatly, cutting him off. She didn’t even glance up from her plate. “Don’t forget Barton.”
