Summary
Even in the darkness, he could make out some of her features. The red hair that faded into blonde tips, the shape of her nose, her lips, the rise and fall of her chest. She was alive, at least, and for that he was thankful.
"Time travel must suck," he commented quietly, sitting in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. "I heard you jumped off a cliff. That's really stupid, Natalia. I taught you better than that."

Summary
He thinks he's in love with her as she moved effortlessly through a crowd of hostiles without breaking a sweat. Her legs were around a man's neck, hands busy with the Glock, depositing two bullets into the skull of another who made the mistake of shooting at her and missing. When she landed on her knees with the man she used as a vantage point crashing down with her, an audible crack echoed with the heel of her boot.
---
In which memories with a certain redhead start bubbling up in Bucky Barnes' mind and he tries his best not to freak out about it all while attempting to hunt down a terrorist that may or may not be Hydra.

Captain America Is Not A Hundred-Year-Old Virgin by pinklights

Summary
The first time it happened (it being sex and also it being the realization that what they had was more than a fling or a teenage crush) was after Steve asked her out for drinks. Apparently, Sharon preferred that over coffee. They were holed up in a booth at a small bar in the Lower East Side, the night's energy buzzing around them. Alcohol did nothing for the Super Soldier, meanwhile, Sharon's cheeks were a shade of pink he wanted to kiss. He took a long sip of his whiskey, feeling it burn down his throat as she smiled sweetly at him.
"I'm curious about something—and this just based on everyone's stories—"
"You mean Bucky's stories."
She nodded, swirling the clear liquid in her glass, "Bucky's stories, yeah. Based on those, is Steve Rogers a hundred-year-old virgin?"

Summary
He didn't remember her. Natasha knew this because whenever he'd pass her in the hall or when he'd hang out at the facility with Steve and Sam, he'd look at her like he'd look at every other person in the room. Her Soldier didn't look at her like that. Her Soldier looked at her with warmth and tenderness, a breath of fresh air in the icy cage that was the Red Room. He didn't remember her and maybe that was her own fault.
-
In which Bucky doesn't remember Natasha at all and he probably never will, and it's eating away at her. Set after Endgame.

Summary
"Who's the girl? Something you're not telling me, Steve?" On his canvass was dark paint and the beginnings of a white face in the middle. The blonde had a photo up on his phone for reference. Bucky didn't recognize her. She definitely wasn't Sharon.
"What? No. This is Natasha, Sharon's friend. We went to her recital the other night, remember? I invited you but you ghosted us."
Bucky grinned, recalling that night. "Yeah, well, girls in tutus aren't really my thing. Girls in shiny dresses under strobe lights on the other hand..."

Let's Be Bad Together by pinklights

Summary
To say that she had a score to settle would be an understatement. Natasha Romanoff was SHIELD's best agent, she was the Black Widow, nothing got past her. Nothing except for two bullets straight through her body, apparently. Twice. And she didn't believe in two coincidences.
But she tried to be sympathetic with Steve, and she understood what the Winter Soldier was all about. Really. She'd been in the place where he was, except she had Clint and Fury when she was trying to undo what the Red Room had done. The Winter Soldier had no one.

What if Natasha never knew The Winter Soldier in the Red Room? What if their present is all they have?

Set after TWS and AoU, pre-Civil War.

Summary
When Natasha Romanoff was young, she trained under the Red Room. There, she underwent years of brainwashing and rigorous training and had risen through the ranks as she became their best student. She was on top of her game. Only knocked down because of the change in staff, the arrival of a man with the metal arm.
The Winter Soldier was pulled out of cryostasis as the Black Widow program's final test. He was to train them to perfection before they were allowed to graduate. The Winter Soldier was an unshakable force, that is until one of the trainees started talking him up.

Summary
James and Natasha moved into a small suburb outside Manhattan just over five years ago. Natasha was a dance teacher and James taught languages in one of those private schools in the city. They were the perfect couple in all fronts. They'd go to the farmers market together on weekends, James would drive Natasha to the dance studio on his way to work sometimes, and they'd go on vacations whenever they'd have the time. They were so perfect that you wouldn’t suspect that they were hiding a man in the trunk of their car in their garage.
Things start getting tricky when a couple of blondes move into the house across the street–a SHIELD agent and an ex-military captain.
AKA Undercover spy escapades featuring Bucky and Natasha with the special appearance of Steve and Sharon.

Summary
Natasha is missing and Bucky enlists the help of Hawkeye to get her back, except the Hawkeye that showed up on the tarmac wasn't a blonde hipster with ketchup on his face. It was an equally sarcastic brunette in a purple suit who packed lotion and face creams because god forbid the flight over dried out her skin. She was fucking Hawkeye.
