Life is a series of moments, and as it turns out, so too is death. This is a look at the variety of moments Natasha Romanoff shared with people in those five years after the Snap, and in the afterlife.

Turns out the Black Widow kept a diary. While cleaning up the mess left behind after the events of Endgame, Natasha's journals are found. Everyone learns what was going through her head during those five years. Rated T for language.

Thanos seemed to be searching frantically for something, casting rubble around as he tore through the heaped debris at his feet, and it took Strange a long moment to notice what was different: the gauntlet was dull in his hands. Wherever Maximoff's blast of power had taken their missing teammates, it had apparently brought the stones along with her. (A new twist on Infinity War.)

Inspired by Fitz' line: "Yes, thank you for the MANY presents." In which the team send gifts to Alya, much to the bemusement of the local postman.

A pair of deer. Clint never imagined deer would bring his family closer together, let alone strengthen the bonds with his teammates. As it turned out, it couldn't have come at a better time. With Wanda in shambles, Clint's dangerous job, and a looming Civil War, a family isn't always perfect, but they grow stronger with each fight. The memories made along the way are worth that.

ENDGAME SPOILERS! One-shot/drabble series to honor Natasha/Black Widow's death. Each chapter will be her interacting with a different Avenger at different times, will include angst, fluff, hurt!tony and much more. No official ships, but there are mentions of some.

Peggy teases Steve about how he still carries around his old compass, but little does she know it holds more than just her picture now. Who knew opening up the compass would prompt him to open up about a woman he'd left behind?

Over the years, they find more than three words to say how they feel. Anna x Bates.

AU where T'Challa doesn't offer help following Civil War, and instead Team Cap go on the run together. For the prompt: "Tony expects them to all come crying back to him within the month. What he doesn't take into account is that this group was practically built for life on the run. Team Cap doesn't struggle in exile, they freaking ROCK it." (The UN is less than thrilled.)

His soul was intertwined with hers, this she knows. She never expected it to be torn from her like this. [tros]

Christmases in 2019 and beyond are unfathomably different from Christmas 2018. [Lucy/Wyatt]

Vision's quest to learn all he can about human existence leads him to take a particular interest in the holiday season. But someone is missing from the festivities at The Avengers compound, which makes things decidedly less worth celebrating.

"Please, you and I both know how this ends. So you don't kill me. It won't stop me from tearing you apart." Natalia Romanova thought she would die in that alley. Clint Barton opened her eyes to something spectacular.

A series of oneshots exploring how Natasha Romanoff's relationship with Clint Barton and his family helped her to discover the meaning of home and shape the woman who became the quiet soul of the Avengers. Canon-compliant. Endgame spoilers Ch 13 and later (post-Endgame chapters can be read independent of the rest if desired).

Clint is sent after an assassin. He makes a different call. Friendship story. Rated T for some language.

The morning after the Endor celebration in ROTJ, Leia is still struggling to cope with the revelation about Vader.

Once Han gets a glimpse of Leia's real smile, he can't help wanting to see it again-and getting sucked further and further into that little Rebellion he is definitely not joining. A "five times" fic (five times Leia shared her real smile), originally written and posted for Scoundress Saturdays on Tumblr. Set pre-ESB.

Steve at Vormir, after. [Avengers: Endgame spoilers; not-a-fix-it.]

Clint was thinking that they'd have to wing it and then put the kid in therapy when he was eighteen or so, like every other preschooler out there who'd just had their world undone. (Or, the Bartons, after the last Snap.) [Spoilers for Avengers: Endgame; not-a-fix-it, sadly.]

He hadn't anticipated that she would look so young. Or … Clint gets sent to kill Natasha and makes a different call. Part 2 of my 'it's not the most conventional life, but that's why i love it' series.

Bruce wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation he found himself in, but one thing was for sure; a drunk assassin was far more terrifying than a Chitauri invasion.

"You ever need help, and I'm not there-" "Why wouldn't you be there?" "You call Uncle Steve." - Morgan tried to sort out step one. What the hell was step two?

The most important part of his skillset, Hawkeye had taught himself.

Every time they had to say goodbye it got harder to bear, but she would never let him go completely. (Scarletvision, pre-Infinity War)

As Sybil prepares to leave with the chauffeur, Robert reflects on his daughter. As Tom prepares to leave for Boston with Sybbie, Robert reflects on his granddaughter. NEW CHAPTER: Sybbie returns from Boston much to Robert's delight.

Clint leaves retirement during Civil War, to help his friends on the run and to save the kid. 'If he had never joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Clint was sure he, as a civilian, could've enjoyed peace. He only would've enjoyed it because he wouldn't have known all that it took to keep it.' AKA, the events leading up to Clint joining Cap in Civil War.

Natasha was trained to be cold, and it took her months for her to warm up to Clint and Steve. She never thought she would befriend this girl so fast.

Where do you go when your grief refuses to leave you alone? Haunted by her memories, Leia tries to escape and instead finds home in an unexpected place. Originally posted on Tumblr for Scoundress Saturdays, in response to the prompt, "I wish you would write a story where Leia runs away and Han finds her in the least expected place." Pre-ESB. Minor angst, but ends happily.

...(and one time that he told her)

Wanda, and learning to accept herself. Oneshot

Exactly what it says on the tin. SJ, oneshot.

This day was always the hardest for her. It was a painful reminder of the past and everything she wished could be the same but wasn't. Sharing a birthday had never been a problem for her before Pietro died. Now he was gone, and she couldn't find it in herself to celebrate with anyone else but him.

(And One Time A Stray Picked Him)

He remembers her. And judging from the look she gives him, she remembers him too. After all the scars HYDRA had left, from the destruction of his mind to the daily guilt that threatened to consume him, there is one thing he's glad HYDRA had gave him. The chance of meeting her.

S5E8 Missing Moment. Anna and John have been called to Scotland Yard under false pretenses, thus throwing their lives into upheaval yet again.

Just after he was born Vision told Tony and the Avengers that he's not JARVIS, that JARVIS is dead. Vision lied. He has his reasons.

An exploration of the relationship between Wanda and Tony from Sokovia to the Raft.

Rey is their daughter, but not in the way you might think. Leia's POV, set during TFA. Slight TW: mention of miscarriage.

"Vis, we talked about this." With that one sentence, Wanda reminds her friend of past embarrassments and all he's learned. But what exactly led to that conversation? I OWN NOTHING, THIS IS BASED OFF CIVIL WAR AND THERE WILL PROBABLY BE FLUFF

What happened after the cure was released and TX-14 gas was dropped and before the 10-year time gap and Clem's surprising revelation? I'm about to find out. This is going to be long... fair warning! [Part One: Chapters 1-15]

Gibbs goes to France to get some information and check up on some friends. Post 13x24. Ziva!lives.

Han and Leia hold their son for the first time.

In their eyes, she is a criminal. An animal. A monster. And monsters get no rights. Wanda's powers have always needed an outlet. Chaos doesn't bode well in enclosed spaces. (Civil War Spoilers)

"The most wonderful time of the year" never had much personal significance for Natasha. The magic of the season, like so many beautiful, pointless things, was for children. But over the years she knows Bruce Banner, he has a habit of changing her mind — even about beautiful, pointless things. Written for the hulkwidownet Secret Santa.

Clint never did care much for Bruce Banner, even before he left the team without a word and broke Natasha's heart in the process. A chance encounter gives him the opportunity to give Bruce a piece of his mind. But when a few choice words turns into the longest conversation they've ever had, Clint is left wondering whether the problem is Bruce...or his own point of view.

Natasha asks for Bruce's help on the most dangerous mission they've ever faced: babysitting the Barton clan.

A series of oneshots centered around Pepper Potts' relationship with Bruce Banner. She notices a lot about Bruce over the years, from his tendency to babysit Tony to his subtle crush on the Black Widow. From the first conversation, Pepper knew she was going to like this guy. BruceNat and Pepperony. Post-IM3 to post-AoU.

When tabloids attempt to spin a torrid love affair out of photos of Bruce and Natasha, the two of them decide to up the ante and beat the paparazzi at their own game. But Bruce quickly discovers that faking a relationship with Natasha was a colossal mistake. The more they play at romance, the more he wants it to be real. Fake dating AU. Written for the HulkWidowNet Fanwork Exchange

Lila Barton just wants to draw pictures with her Auntie Nat. But when her Aunt insists on dragging Dr. Banner along, Lila has a few frank questions about their relationship, the Hulk, and - most importantly - whether or not Dr. Banner can help her draw a princess. Missing scene from Age of Ultron. BruceNat.

Takes place after 1x11. General Sebastian Monroe has a problem, one that's been haunting him ever since his best friend's betrayal. What would happen to the Republic if he were to die? Charlie Matheson wants revenge for her brother's death, but when she is captured by the very man she wants to kill, what will she do to survive?

Just a fluffly little one-shot team-fic, about a day in the snow.

Five of the *uncountable* times Aaron felt alone. This is for the LJ 60 prompts in 60 days: Alone.

Everyone knows about the house on the edge of town and the crazy lady who lived there.

Set after "Ghosts". Charlie is still hurting after Danny's death and Miles decides to help her through it... Well, he tries at least. Uncles are supposed to do that stuff right? Where is Rachel when you need her anyways?

Screw normal. Her family was perfect.

Three times Jason and Charlie shared coffee and one time she threw it in his face.

Charlie wants the truth and Miles finally decides to tell her about Rachel. Will she be able to forgive him and can they both live with the consequences of his actions?

Set post "The Stand". Charlie leans on Miles for support in the aftermath of Danny's death.

A conversation about love and loyalty between my favorite ship: Miles x Nora. Takes place early on in the episode "Kashmir." Pure, plotless fluff. One-shot.

On Christmas Eve, one month after narrowly escaping Monroe's grasp in Philadelphia, Miles reflects on a post-Blackout exchange with Ben in Chicago.

Four Christmases that went wrong for Miles and Nora and one Christmas that went right.

"Come on, Rachel. He's my little brother. And he's only ever going to graduate from the Marines once."

Miles is hiding something from Charlie. Slight Miles/Rachel but nothing serious.

Leo McGarry has passed away. How will the people in his life deal with their loss? Tribute to such a loved actor and character.

Post Serenity. Zoe's on a path of destruction, Mal and Inara seemed to be fighting more, Simon and Kaylee are inseparable, River has a new place on the ship and Jayne...is Jayne. COMPLETE.
