Day 9: Natasha Romanoff (Aging)

2024-02-13T05:44:22Z

Posted by: impala_chick

svgurl prompted me with: what do you think her life would've been like had she survived Endgame?

She would have been able to mentor Yelena Belova! I'm not sure that they would be close, considering how long it had been since they'd spent time together in canon - but I definitely think Natasha would have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to see her again and work towards being sisters who actually spend time together.

( a few more thoughts under here )

Day 6 - Secrets And Lies - DCU & MCU - Recs

2024-02-06T23:45:38Z

Posted by: ineffablecabbage

For Secrets And/Or Lies, I wanted to highlight recs for my two favorite spies and one of my favorite thieves. ;)

REC : your shadow is with me wherever i go
Author: shireness
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Fanwork type: FIC
Pairings/Characters: Sharon Carter. Sharon Carter/Sam Wilson, with mentions of Peggy Carter & Maria Hill.
Rating: Teen
Words: 5,240
Summary: Sharon Carter is born with a soulmark in between her shoulder blades, and always knows who it belongs to. It’d be hard not to; her Great-Aunt Peggy has the same mark, two concentric circles around a five-pointed star. Sometimes, the universe has other plans.

Reccer's Notes: This is a soulmate a/u, but it also functions as both a Sharon Carter character piece and a fix-it for the character decisions made in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It takes advantage of the fact that this is a different universe than the comics 'verse and gives this Sharon a unique but familiar characterization. The author clearly cares about Sharon Carter as a character in her own right, and that makes the exploration of the soulmate a/u all the more satisfying.

REC: Reset
Author: purple_cube
Fandom: Dark Knight Rises/Marvel Cinematic Universe
Fandom type: FIC
Pairing/Characters: Selina Kyle/Natasha Romanov
Rating: Explicit
Words: 3551
Summary: Five times Selina Kyle met Natasha Romanov.

Reccer's Notes: Selina and Natasha have plenty in common, and the fic celebrates that. But what's unique about this fic is how specific each voice sounds to each character; their differences are celebrated as well as their similarities.

Dealing with Adversity: Natasha (MCU)

2023-02-12T18:01:09Z

Posted by: impala_chick

Natasha was supposed to be a killing machine, a weapon for someone else to use. Instead, she escaped a dangerous organization in order to fight for something bigger than herself - a world safer for everyone. Here are three of my favorite character study fanvids, one of them brand new!

Natasha Romanoff: Why We Fight (VID) (42 words) by alba17
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Black Widow (Movie 2021), Captain America (Movies)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death

Summary:

The fight never ends but the family Natasha makes along the way gives it meaning. Created to serve evil, she finds redemption in those human connections and her ultimate sacrifice for the greater good.

Handlebars (14 words) by seekingferret
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow (Movie 2021)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death

Summary:

And it feels so good to be alive and on top.

[Fanvid] Natasha Romanoff - Nightmare (0 words) by Januarium
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow (Movie 2021)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death

Summary:

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware
Yeah, someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

The mark was always the name of the others' soulmate, the name by which you would come to know and love them best.

Day 7 - Family - 2 fic recs

2023-02-08T06:36:24Z

Posted by: svgurl

I have 2 fic recs, one Diana/Steve (DCEU) and one Darcy Lewis-centric with eventual Darcy/Bucky (MCU).

Title: a land of beauty and wonder
Author: melodiousmadrigals
Fandom: DCEU
Pairing/Characters: Diana/Steve
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 4588
Summary: Several months after the War, Diana makes the journey to the Trevor Ranch. But sometimes, confronting the truth is the hardest thing of all. Some angst, but a happy ending.

I love Diana interacting with the Trevor family and the idea of her going back to where he was from after he died was a great idea and well executed.

Title: Run Verse
Author: themonkeycabal
Fandom: MCU
Pairing/Characters: Darcy & Tony, eventual Darcy/Bucky, background Pepper/Tony
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 570,044
Summary: Darcy's not quite sure what she'll do with another dad.

A great 'Tony as Darcy's dad' series. The whole series is addictive and I couldn't stop reading.
