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
“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
Natasha Romanoff was supposed to be dead.
When Steve Rogers discovers her alive in a quiet Midwestern town—with no memory of the life that led her to sacrifice herself—he chooses not to tell her who she was. But as the world rebuilds after the Blip and their friendship deepens into something more, Steve must confront whether love can be honest without the truth—and whether Natasha, when given the choice, would still find her way back to him.
Black Widow, Infinity War, and Endgame compliant & fix-it. Slow Burn. Second chances. Eventual happy ending.

Summary
Failing to stop Thanos was one thing, but what Natasha finds at the Barton homestead tears her apart. In the weeks that follow, she does her best to hold it together during the day, spending her evenings in the gym working out the emotions she'd repressed in front of the others.
She's taught herself that this is a safe place to feel, to mourn, to let everything out. So when Steve shows up on the most emotional day yet, Nat's reckless, especially when she discovers that he's holding back some pain of his own. With the days and weeks of searching for her best friend stretching out in front of her, Natasha seizes an opportunity to put herself in Steve's path on a regular basis.
It starts as a challenge. It shifts into a way to cope. After a few years, it's the only thing holding them together.
Just on hiatus a bit. Just have a lot going on, don't worry! I love this story.

Summary
“Stiles,” she says, squinting slightly at her former classmate when he turns his attention back to her, expression brightening with her recall. “Um, what are you doing here?”
“I go to Northeastern with the rest of the mildly intelligent,” he answers, smiling wickedly for some reason. “Not all of us got into Harvard.”
She’s still processing this turn of events. “Oh.” And, for lack of anything better to say, she adds: “Who are your, um, friends?”“This is Thea, certified pillow fort architect, cheese stick connoisseur, and dinosaur enthusiast.” He gestures to the sleeping baby strapped to his chest. “And this is Wes. He, ah, enjoys long naps, drinking his milk, and pooping, mostly.”

Stiles and Lydia bridge the gap.

“So you’re going to tell me that you’ve been sitting here, come rain or shine, every day after school believing that the girl sitting across from you isn’t flirting with you at all?” Scott says.
“It’s Lydia.”
“And you’d follow her to the end of the planet.”
“Yeah, so given that, the diner isn’t actually that far.”

Summary
Steve Rogers made a deal.
His journey with Natasha Romanoff didn’t start—or end—on some rock in the center of the Celestial universe. For more than a decade, Natasha Romanoff stood by his side even as the world fell apart. As he returns the Infinity Stones, Steve has a chance to bring her back. Even if that means a deal—or dance—with the devil.
Natasha Romanoff made a choice.
Love, even in her flawed capacity, meant making tough decisions. That's why Natasha went over the cliff on Vormir. That's why Steve needs her help to get them home after he returns the Soul Stone. Because whether he acknowledges it or not, Natasha will make the choice that Steve can't—even if that means losing him.
Infinity War, Endgame, Black Widow compliant & fix-it. Slow Burn. Non-chronological and a little time traveling. Eventual happy ending.

Summary
S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't expect to find Captain America frozen in ice. They didn't expect him to be so disgruntled and bitter. Sure, they knew he'd be sad over missing out his life in the past, but there was sadness and then there was Steve Rogers plummeting his fists through a dozen punching bags a day. It was...terrifying and quite frankly, his anger was putting a damper on S.H.I.E.L.D.s plans. They had wars to stop, people to save and peace to upkeep.
So naturally, they send in one of their best - the ex-Russian spy turned S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Nothing could really go wrong, right?
It's not like the infamous Black Widow would ever be susceptible to love and the great Captain America would never fall for someone like her.
Natasha Romanoff though? She might. And Steve Rogers? He definitely would.
