Natasha/Clint

Anyway I Do (Completed)
Tony discovers Clint and Natasha got married, reacts typically.

Deprivation (Completed)
Natasha and Clint's first mission comes back to haunt them in the worst way possible, leaving Clint desperate to help his partner who refuses to sleep.

When The Past Catches Up (Completed) (TW: Rape)
“Bad things can happen to little girls, Clint,” she whispered. “It’s the way of the world.”

Nothing Else Matters (Completed)
Six hours ago she'd stopped breathing.

Trapped (Completed)
Time moved slowly when nothing around you was moving. Least of all you.

those who are afraid of wolves (Completed w/ a prequel here)
There is a saying: those who are afraid of wolves should not go into the woods. Natasha is not a wolf, but she is not afraid of them, either.

four people clint barton kissed for the mission (and one he'd know anywhere) (Completed)
Hawkeye actually does have a superpower. It involves kissing people.

Revelator (Completed)
Natasha understands what it means to be unmade. Post-movie.

Elemental (Completed)
Four things Clint and Natasha know about each other, and one thing they don't.

Firebird (Completed)
Natasha's drunk on vodka that came from a bottle which only has Cyrillic letters, and she's telling Clint about fire.

They know each other too well.

Rest for the Weary (WIP)
The dust settles and the world begins to go back to normal—except for the fact that she can't sleep.

Just Like Budapest (Completed)

You Have Heart (WIP)
Natasha and Clint are both affected by what Loki did and now Natasha takes it on herself to keep Clint from torturing himself with it as they return to work.

You're just another entry in the ledger (Completed)
Clint doesn't know when Natasha started watching him sleep. But it's nice to know he won't get up and kill anyone in the middle of the night

he has me by my heart (Completed)
Natasha and Clint share a moment (or more, where did that figure of speech come from?), and by "moment" I mean bodily fluids, and by "share a moment" I mean fuck.

The Ballad of Natasha & Clint (Completed)
"They will die in the end." Clint and Natasha are psychopaths in love. Bonnie and Clyde AU.

panacean (Completed)
Clint is sure that he breathes because Natasha breathes too.

red on our fingertips (Completed)
both their hands are stained with blood

we were emergencies (Completed)
It's not about being unmade; it's about remaking, one aching step at a time.

in the service of liars and killers (Completed)
In retrospect, it's absurd how easily she incapacitates him. Cross to the right cheek, elbow block, backstab to the solar plexus, and then a roundhouse kick to finish things off. That last one seems a bit excessive at the time, but who is he to question her style? Close hand-to-hand combat has never been his strongest suit.

Past Aggression (WIP)
“We can do this one of two ways,” he says quietly when her glazed eyes finally meet his. “I can give you something to bite on and hold you down or I can tie you to the bed.”

Cakewalk (Completed)
Early on, he’d been surprised that she trusted him enough to sleep in front of him. Later, he realized that she simply hadn’t feared him.

She'll never work undercover again.

Mimosas and Versace (Completed)
Trying to extricate themselves from a situation, Clint ruins Natasha's Versace dress. She is not pleased.

fade in on a girl (Completed)
The prevalence of sexual cannibalism gives several species of spider in the genus Latrodectus the colorful common name "black widow". However, the female does not always kill and eat the male.

Natasha/Steve

Alone With You (Completed)
He could understand why you might not regret the way your life had gone, but you could still dream about what could have been different.

Subject to Change (Completed)
Natasha liked having a plan, and her lunch dates were not an exception to that. Everything that happened between those lunch dates, on the other hand, was subject to change.

what a smile means (Completed)
Natasha knows a lot of things Steve doesn't.

Anachronism (Completed)
She imagines it: falling asleep that winter in her childhood before all the death, waking with nothing to bind her, waking again to blood and pain. Made and unmade.

Win-Win (Completed)
Natasha and Steve spar, in more ways than one.

He Who Fights With Monsters (Completed)
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster ~Friedrich Nietzsche

The Dread of Touching (Completed)
Bruce is frightened, but not for himself.

Wash the Day Away (Completed)
“Natasha,” he says, because he remembers that she called him Bruce before the other guy came out, when she was trapped and scared – and he can still see her face when he thinks about it, remembers wondering if he was going to hurt or kill her.

What Doesn't Kill You (Completed)
This was the third time Natasha was stuck with him when he lost control, and she was starting to wonder if someone wasn't planning it to happen that way.

Neither Wild nor Tame (WIP)
“He respects you,” Bruce concludes. “That doesn't mean he won't challenge you, some other time. His priorities, his loyalties, they aren't human.”

“Neither are mine,” Natasha says simply, shrugging, as if that solves everything.


An Out, a Sanctuary (Completed)
Tony keeps trying to be helpful. It works out about as well as absolutely no one expects it to.

o fill me with strength (Completed)
The rescue mission is a success but Natasha is angry, everybody is making a fuss and the only one pushing the right buttons is Bruce.

Natasha/Darcy

Aphrodite and The Internet (WIP)
Black Widow is assigned a personal assistant. Her name? Darcy Lewis.

Natasha/Maria
RED (Completed)
These are not all lies.

Natasha-Gen

Grapevine Fires (Completed)
Natasha isn’t heartless. She is just… no longer able to completely feel.

I can't see the future but I know it's got big plans for me (Completed)
She keeps secrets the way others keep memories.

beneath skin and bone (Completed) (Character Death)
No one knows how it happens. One night they go to sleep, and then the next morning there's a virus sweeping through the human population, and now they're on the run.

Knit 1, Purl 2, Save The World (Again) (Completed)

four times somebody trusted Natasha Romanoff (and one time Natasha trusted somebody) (Completed)
Natasha is not used to being treated as something other than a threat.

Chrysalis (Completed)
When she dreams she's eight years old again, bent on hands and knees, trying not to vomit from the stuff they've pumped into the room while she screams her loyalty again and again because she saw what happened to the last girl who failed the test, and the men with their red ledgers wear gas masks and nod at each other while they take notes, she shows promise, this girl, such promise…

Stained (Completed) (TW: Mentions of Suicide)
And as she stares into the darkness of the alley below her, comfortable and patiently waiting, she wonders how many people fear it. Not the fear of falling, but the idea that they might jump.

Five Times Natasha Felt Out Of Place (Completed)
Natasha Romanov had always been alone.

there are demons dancing through your dreams (Completed)
She sinks herself into the rhythms of combat and carefully does not to think about silk skipping across scuffed wood floors or ribbons tangling around strong, delicate ankles.

the way out is through (Completed)
Little by little, Natasha becomes part of the team.

To the horizon (Completed)
Horizons are funny things.

Talking to Michelangelo (Completed)
In which Natasha gets sex pollen'd and refuses to let anyone near her; the men are all gentlemen, including Tony; and you never thought Barton could sing, did you.

Natasha gets pregnant by mistake

Other (Gen)

We Almost Had it All (Completed)

The Sky and Everything Beneath It (Completed)
Steve goes on a road trip to clear his head, but the other Avengers won't leave him alone.

Flying The Flag (Completed)

What a FABULOUS rec list, thanks! I think I'm becoming a pretty hardcore C/N girl, but I'm very interested in discovering more about them as individuals too, so I'm looking forward to checking out a lot of these. Also, that art is gorgeous. Thanks again for posting!

thank you! i love C/N too, but there's something about Natasha- it's hard not to want to know more about her and fic does such a great job of exploring that. i have this reclist on my journal & i try to update it pretty frequently :)
