  1. Summary

    A fic-verse that blends the MARVEL comic-616 and MCU narratives of Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) and Winter Soldier (James 'Bucky' Barnes). All fics are mostly from Natasha's POV. This series assumes Black Widow's 1984 birthdate is true, has seeds in her life before the Red Room and the narrative follows her romantic relationship with the Winter Soldier that began with him in her late teens. Forcibly separated from her lover, she seeks refuge and recruitment in S.H.I.E.L.D. with a new ally (Clint Barton). Her path to redemption eventually ties her to the recently thawed Steve Rogers. Tangled emotional webs grow as she is strung between her memory of the Winter Soldier and a growing connection with Steve. As a woman of secrets, and for the good of all, she hides her past devotions while slowly unraveling her former life at the hope of redemption. Survival isn't all.

    Note: Natasha's preteen years in this fic are not MCU (Ultron) compliant. [In AoU, Natasha says she was 'raised' in the Red Room, which means she was at least seven years old when they took her in, likely earlier.]

    (Time is) a Bullet from Behind is titled for Covenant's "Bullet".

  2. Summary

    An MCU-comics crossover of Natasha/Natalia Romanoff (Black Widow) and James "Bucky" Barnes (Winter Soldier) in their days of serving the Russian Red Room Academy and the KGB as spies and assassins. All from Natasha's POV. This series is in three parts:

    Part I: Snowed In. Natalia and the Asset are stranded together in the Romanian mountains. What they experience together begins their secret romance. Having no memory of his former name, Natalia gives him another.

    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.”
