    Summary

    When Natasha finally got into the Kirov ballet in St. Petersburg, she thought she would finally have the normal life she wanted. Then the american arrived, and all of her secrets came crawling back for her.

    or

    "James was the only male allowed into the program who was not Russian by birth or blood, the first foreign dancer in its history, in fact, and that had ruffled more than a few feathers among the school’s students and faculty. But the Dean of Admissions, Pavel Agapov, was adamant that the school accept the American and ultimately his persistence won out. James Buchannan Barnes was officially a member of the Kirov Ballet, home at the Mariinsky Theatre.
    In the early days Natalia did not see much of him, as she was in charge of the school’s experimental children’s program. When she wasn’t teaching six- and seven-year-olds how to dance she was in training with the other dancers who actually worked for the school instead of- or while- studying there. There were few lines between student, faculty, and troupe, and many were at least two of the three. In this way the school survived, and Natalia took little note of the American.
    Until she saw him dance."

    Summary

    “We’re a couple of broken things, aren’t we?”

    Natasha met his gaze with an equal intensity of her own. “Being broken isn’t permanent.”

    “How long did it take for you? To not be broken?”

    A cruel smile tugged on the edges of her mouth. “I’ll let you know when I get there.”

    Summary

    In the old world, there is an old story, about an old man who could not die. Who guarded his own death jealously and cunningly, who devised all manners of traps and ingenious hoaxes to hold off the day of death. Though he was old, and corrupt, and avaricious, we are taught that immortality is possible. You just have to want it more than you want to live.

    —or: Romanova to Romanoff, the girl without end.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers: soldier, artist, foodie, friend, heart of the Avengers, and a guy whose past keeps creeping into his present and dictating his future. A series of stories about him and the people he has chosen to build his life around.

    A comics-MCU mashup that is MCU-compliant through all of the Phase One movies then gets a little Brubakerish because the alternative was to get a lot Jossed.

    All stories can be read independently of the others. You'll miss a few references but lose nothing of the plots.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes screamed himself hoarse on that table and screamed falling off that train. He screamed when they programmed him and screamed and screamed until he isn’t Bucky Barnes anymore, not really. He is still screaming, a trapped rat running around a labyrinthine machine, clawing at the doors and running into dead ends. He has been screaming for seventy years.

    Summary

    “It’s the life that was stolen from you. The life you could have had with her. It’s the finality of it, understanding that whatever remnants you had are gone forever.” Natasha’s voice is even and sure, and the knowledge that she came for him, that something has indefinably shifted between the two of them, is something he didn’t expect to be grateful for.

    Steve/Natasha friendship, post The Winter Soldier.
