    Summary

    One thing Steve knows for certain, the same way he knows his name, rank, and serial number:

    If Yelena had been lost to the Stones, Natasha would never have allowed herself this. Not any of it.

    She’d never have allowed herself the luxury of falling in love with Steve and letting him love her back, not their home, their backyard, their future – not a single thing at all. She would have never climbed out of the pit of self-recrimination they’ve both watched Tony fall into; she would be breaking her back to take full responsibility for putting the world’s pieces together and she would tell herself she had no right to anything else. No right at all to a good meal, or a decent night’s sleep, or the comfort of a hand in hers.

    If Yelena had numbered among the fallen, Natasha would never have forgiven herself for anything ever again.

    But that’s not what happened.
