    Summary

    Clint Barton was sent to kill Natasha Romanoff.

    Instead, he made a different call.

    As Natasha rebuilds her life inside S.H.I.E.L.D., what begins as a series of routine missions gradually uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy. Between briefings, bad coffee, paperwork, and people who refuse to give up on her, she begins to discover that surviving and living are two very different things.

    A slow-burn story of espionage, second chances, found family, and two women who slowly become the one constant in each other’s lives.

    Summary

    Blackhill college AU. Maria and Natasha were cadets in SHIELD Academy. This is the story of how they met and tried very very hard to not fall in love (spoilers: they failed epically).

    Cue: lots of angst and self-denial, bit of fluff, too much (or maybe too little) sex, a few heartbreaks, and hopefully some personal growth.

    Summary

    It began now, just as it had before, with the unmistakable tolling of the plague bell.

    Kaz had suspected that something was brewing in the bowels of the city. Of course he hadn’t known what, exactly, the fuss had been about—a whisper here, a rumor there. He’d noticed it, with his eyes everywhere, but the trouble was so small that it could not even be identified. The warnings signs were barely signs at all, just a flippant remark, a shaky theory. Nothing notable enough for Kaz to spend more than a few men on discerning.

    That had been his first mistake.

    ——

    Or, after ten years, the Queen’s Lady Plague descends upon Ketterdam once more.
