it’s to feel it, like a secret you can’t keep in by Lost_in_lore

Summary
Life at the newly rebranded ‘Avengers Tower’ had settled into a chaotic sort of peace. For the first time since the start of their relationship, Natasha and Maria weren’t constantly running covert missions or watching their backs. Instead, they were learning to live around geniuses, gods, and super soldiers – apparently their world’s new normal. It certainly wasn’t quiet, but it was theirs. And for now, at least, their relationship was still a secret. Nat and Maria were happy. Which, naturally, meant it was only a matter of time before the rest of the Avengers found out.
********
Technically follows on from my other fic, but can be read as a standalone! Basically just consists of the rest of the Avengers finding out about Nat and Maria's relationship, complete with all the 2012 Avengers Tower shenanigans we all know and love.

Summary
Just another slow burn Nat/Maria fic that is entirely self indulgent. Set in the old S.H.I.E.L.D. days when Nat first joined.

That Year at SHIELD Academy by lo5o

Summary
Blackhill college AU. Maria and Natasha were cadets in SHIELD Academy. This is the story of how they met and tried very very hard to not fall in love (spoilers: they failed epically).
Cue: lots of angst and self-denial, bit of fluff, too much (or maybe too little) sex, a few heartbreaks, and hopefully some personal growth.

Summary
“Why did it sound like you were kicking cats in here?” Clint laughed and glanced over her shoulder into the room. Partly to continue joking, partly because he seemed to actually be concerned that the now ex-Russian assassin had murdered a small animal in her room.
“I had to move the bed,” the tone she took matter-of-factly, she stared at him as if he was the crazy one in this situation.
OR: What it was like when the Black Widow first joined SHIELD.

Summary
After the events of CA:TWS, Steve Rogers moves back to Brooklyn in the hopes that Bucky will follow him to their old home. He never expected his plan to work, and definitely didn’t expect it to work this fast. Bucky shows up on his doorstep a week after the move, disoriented and confused but trusting Steve to help.
With Bucky wanted by every major intelligence agency, world government, and HYDRA, Steve decides to do something unexpected: tell no one he found Bucky. Just how long can he keep the ex-assassin’s presence, and his growing feelings for his best friend, a secret?

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."

or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
