Summary
“You were pregnant.”
13 years ago those words had broken Natasha’s heart and numbed it to ice. 13 years ago Madame told Natasha they’d killed the child in her womb during her graduation ceremony. 13 years ago Dreykov forced Natasha to watch as the Winter Soldier was wiped of all memory of her.
She’d had cause to curse the Red Room a thousand times over but even she hadn't seen this coming. She'd never imagined Madame lied. She hadn’t considered Dreykov would want to keep the Winter Soldier’s child.
When Steve asked her to look for Bucky, she didn’t expect to find him. She wasn't prepared to find a 10 year old with red hair, green eyes, and her James's features.
She thought she’d lost her child forever, before she even had her, but it was all a lie. Now suddenly she’s mother to a traumatised 10 year old girl more familiar with guns than hugs. Her child has spent 3 years frozen in cryogenic storage and the other 10 training as a Widow.
And Natasha would go to the ends of the earth and fight any monster to protect her daughter but even she might not be up to the task of protecting her baby girl. Because the Red Room is still out there, and Dreykov will stop at nothing.

Summary
“I don’t have sex.”
Agatha’s face screwed up somewhere between delight and incredulity, “You don’t ever?” She scoffed, “As in you’ve never at all? How long have you been here?”
“Since the inception of life itself.”
“And you’ve never fucked?” The way she said it, it did sound a little stupid, “What do you do to pass the time?”
“I scare children,” Death shifted in her chair, still rubbing at the skin of one hand with the other. No wonder Agatha had nowhere to live, she thought. She was unbearable. “Amongst other things.”
*
Or,
Upon meeting Death, Agatha takes it upon herself to educate her on some of the finer points of being human.

Summary
Natalie Scatoccio's life is going better than she ever could have expected. Years after being pulled out of her downward spiral by her very persistant friends she finds that she's somehow managed to be functioning adult. She's working consistently, is mostly sober, and is taking her role of uncle very seriously. The last thing she needs is for something, or someone, to come in and mess with her carefully balanced life. Someone like Shauna's college friend who's moving into town, Lottie Matthews, for example.
Or; Lottie moves to be near the rest of the gang with her newly adopted daughter. Handyman Nat gets volunteered to help fix up the old house that she bought.

Summary
Thaddeus used to fit against Lottie like he was made for her skin, the ideal daemon, some piece of her body molded external. A hand always slipping into her hair. Winding his arms around her neck like a living scarf. A tail always looped lazily around her waist. His cheek pressed between her shoulder blades as she leaned forward laughing. His tiny knuckles hooked in the collar of her shirt when she cried, rubbing circles on her spine.
Thaddeus had been Lottie’s center of mass. Her gravity.
And Lottie was his.
Now, she can’t remember the last time she’s seen Lottie actually touch him.

Summary
Instead, she parks her car in Lottie’s spot so it won’t get towed and then she meets Lottie by the curb out front. Puts her suitcase in the trunk and slides into the passenger seat.
Lottie looks like Stevie fuckin’ Nicks in a large black sun hat and matching shades. She has the window rolled down and leans her left hand out of it like she’s in a music video, right hand navigating the steering wheel a lot more loosely than Tai would like.
Tai grips her bag tightly in her lap. “This place better have wifi.”
or, tai ends up spending the summer after college graduation at lottie's lake house

Summary
"Travis we can’t just– ”Get on a plane. Run halfway across the world. See her. “Go looking for…fucking ghosts.”
“She’s not a ghost.” When he laughs, it’s the grown-up Travis– the man, with the beer gut and the truck keys and the gun without a safe. “We’ve got a hell of enough of those, Nat, you don’t gotta pad the stats.”
“She’s so much more than just a few nice words on a fucking postcard. She’s Lottie.”
It’s dangerously close to the truth. The one when they fuck to porno in the VHS and both come way too quickly for a kids on coke because if they close their eyes and ride they can pretend the other voice is– nope. No way. Too fucking close.
“She’s…our ghost.”
Newark, 1999. In the throes of a bitter winter in their broken down apartment, Natalie and Travis receive a shiny postcard from Cannes.

Summary
“Can I have a drag?” Nat says.
“Don’t you have your own?” Tai giggles, and she stumbles over a crack in the sidewalk that looks miles wide to her childlike eyes.
“Yeah, but I want yours.”
The cigarette drifts back and forth between them, and the smoke trail forms a spider web between their mouths.
You’re never getting rid of me, the web whispers into Tai’s mouth,
and Tai doesn’t want to, doesn’t want to, doesn’t want to.
--Natalie dropping into Taissa's life over the years.

Summary
At the Sylvan, days fade like candle smoke. They fall in measured chores, therapy circles, and backbreaking routines. The air feels like it does before a storm — tight, electric, pressing down until every breath crackles with tension. The program has bite, but Natalie has teeth of her own. It is the softness, however, that makes her fall apart — and nothing makes her fall apart more than the quiet magnetism of one Lottie Matthews. Natalie has been at war with the world since the day she was born. But it is within Lottie’s eyes that she learns surrender, and is wholly consumed.

Summary
Of all the ways she thought her day might go this never made the list. Sitting in an emergency room getting stitches in her finger instead of being at work.

Sue her for not thinking outside her expectations enough to see it all coming.
Or; Lottie needs a tiny favor from her teammate. What's a little marriage of convenience between friends?
