Summary
"Coming back, signing documents that are pointedly not called The Revised Accords, it’s like slapping a bandage on an inflamed wound so you don’t have to look at it anymore, and hope it will heal."
Do you know what happens when you've made a mess?
Because Natasha does. (Because Steve doesn't.)

Summary
"It takes Clint three months to admit to himself that he misses Tony Stark."
Making a decision is the easy part. Standing by it, owning up to it, staying around to await the result, living with the consequences—that is the hard part. Clint Barton has made a lot of hard choices and no small share of devastating mistakes in his life.
The difference is that this time, running is no longer an option. Neither, unfortunately, is staying still.

Summary
"She had known then, not everything perhaps but enough. The others hadn't seen it of course, hadn't been willing to consider it. After all, how could Stark have died when he was so clearly walking among them?"
There is a line between nightmare and reality. Or at least there was once.

Summary
"But in this world, the one she lives in, the one where Steve is too proud to accept help, and Stark is too loyal to abandon a fool’s mission, and Barnes is too real to be a ghost, there was never another way this was going to end."
Civil War AU in which everyone has a fatal flaw and it changes nothing at all, except for how it changes everything. Or: That one time Wanda and Tony were honest with each other and it didn't fix anything.

Summary
"There are no harmless questions or easy answers these days, and Rhodey’s heart has less room for forgiveness than he’d like to believe."
