Summary
When she was a child (if she was ever a child), Natasha happened across the case of Phineas Gage. She read about the pole that went through his skull, that destroyed his frontal cortex and removed his inhibitions to do things like swear and fight and steal.
She realized that something like that had happened to her. Killing isn't fun, brings her no pleasure, but she sees no wrong in doing it. Even at eight years old, Natasha Romanoff has no hesitation killing people.
The metal pole removed Phineas Gate’s inhibition to swear- something removed Natasha’s inhibitions to kill.

A black widow trails death in her wake. Is it any surprise that Natasha would do the same?

Summary
The rollercoaster of that last fight was being repeated in her stomach. She pressed a hand to her thigh. The bleeding had stopped. It was barely a graze. She'd been off-balance, her finely-tuned inner ear a touch out of kilter, her body landing one extra inch to the left.
Another inch, and she'd have been bleeding out on a sparkling marble floor.
She swallowed hard and forced herself upright.
Either way, this was going to get her killed.
...
Choice, and change, and how it might still have been.

Bookmarker's Notes
Hilarious, with a sly humanity that slips right between the ribs. How to love the (not)villain.

Summary
Left at the hospital, injured and penniless, Clint tries to find his way to another circus, or some other means of supporting himself, but makes a few decisions that end up costing him. He's pretty much given up on ever making something of his life when he's in the wrong place at the wrong time, witness to an assassination. As it turns out, that's the best luck he's had in years. (Alternately, for those of you who know what this refers to: the obligatory hooker AU.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The characterizations are intense, and nearly painful in their integrity and beauty.
