Summary
"Was I… too big?" Antonia asked just as Natasha had figured she wasn’t going to address it. She could see it on the girl’s face, the question of whether there had been something wrong with her, if there was something wrong with her.
Natasha was already shaking her head before Antonia had gotten the last word out. "I was too small," she said. "You were perfect."-or-
When Natasha Romanoff was thirteen, she had a child she believed to be dead. For the first nineteen years of her life, Antonia Dreykov assumed her mother was dead- until they came face to face.

Summary
Healing is neither linear, nor clean. It is not drastic, or easy, or quiet, or humble.
It is more than words can describe. A landslide of emotion and achievement that causes as much damage as it does good.
It starts with hair dye and polaroids.

Beyond Their Control by Katie_Destiny436

Summary
She pressed her palms against her thighs, steadying herself. The bruises were Fury’s reminders. She wasn’t an agent, not really. She wasn’t free, she was an asset, a weapon, and SHIELD’s property. Just a thing, an object, to be used and thrown away when it wasn’t needed.
If she had been good, if she had been perfect, he wouldn’t have needed to remind her. She wouldn’t need to hurt.
---
Natasha Romanoff has never known freedom. She has always been somebody else's property: first the Red Room's and now SHIELD's. She was never an agent. She was a weapon. A thing to be owned.
Natasha Romanoff has spent years as SHIELD’s perfect agent, but perfect came at a price. Every choice, every movement, every obedience was demanded, and the truth of her life is more terrifying than anyone could imagine.

“It’s alright, Natasha,” the woman soothed softly, her Russian accent apparent. “I’ve got you.”

Summary
“Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.
“You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”
Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.

5 times Steve helped his team cope (and 1 time they helped him) by TheUnauthorizedAuthor
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
29 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Steve was relaxing in a soft blue armchair by the window, sipping some tea with copious amounts of honey as he watched the sun set. It was how he preferred to spend his evenings, especially after stressful days, and with a tower full of traumatized superheroes (of whom he was somehow the most sane- him, the one who tried to go to war with about a million chronic illnesses? Him, the one who’s sixty years ahead of his time? Him? -he was often helping someone, somewhere, feel a little more safe.
And he didn’t mind. Of course he didn’t! These people were family to him. But sometimes it was nice to just sit and watch something that hadn’t changed, that would always be beautiful, while drinking the one brand of tea that hadn’t gone out of business while he was in the ice.
**
In which Steve, the man sixty years ahead of his time, is somehow the most sane in the tower, the one who helps everyone else to cope. When his team- his family -is struggling with their past, he's there, with whatever they need. Of course he is. He loves them. But who's there for him when he needs help? (Everyone. They love him too.)
