Summary
Clint Barton, now a grown man who justifyingly sees the world as innately evil, reflects on the one pure and beautiful thing he remembers. A seven-year-old with green eyes and red hair. What was it about her haunted eyes?
A story, taking place in the past, about two kids harboring deep and dark secrets of their life that even they don't understand yet.Basically, a child Clint and Natasha meet in a little Pennsylvanian town.
Tightly based on the song "Seven" by Taylor Swift, would recommend listening before reading :)
One-shot AU that implies some pretty dark stuff.

Natasha is not emotionally stunted. She understands feelings. They're just chemical equations in the brain.

It is Enough by normalisoverrated

Summary
When the pain fades, Wanda can feel so much more.
She can feel her own body and the warm fire within. She can feel Pietro, his body full of crackling lightning.
He has changed. She has changed.
But they are still together, that has not changed, that will never change. The two of them against the world.
But this last will change. She feels it inside herself. Something tiny. Something new. A tiny beating heart.
It will become the three of them.
Basically a cross between a character study of Wanda Maximoff and a 'what if' of if Wanda was pregnant in Age of Ultron.

Hissing Hatred and Healing Hearts by normalisoverrated

Summary
America wasn't like the sitcoms Wanda watched as a child. There were no laugh tracks, falling was painful not slapstick, everything didn’t come out OK after 20 minutes, and the guy in the hospital didn’t go home at the end of the episode. If the Avengers were one big, happy family, then Wanda wasn’t a part of it.
Steve and Sam didn’t trust her and they were right to. Natasha was perfectly professional, as if Wanda hadn’t locked her into her worst memory and walked away. Clint had to return to his family and the other boys were rarely around. And Pietro, the life always sprinting parallel to her own, as crucial as oxygen, lay unnaturally still and silent, his mind closed off.
And then, one day, Natasha brought her daughter to work. And for the first time in four weeks, Wanda felt hopeful. Wanda was good with kids. Really good. And the others adored Steffie. Maybe if the kid warmed up to Wanda, the others would too.
… That wasn't precisely what happened.
Or how Wanda and Steffie hate each other until they don’t, and their sharp edges cut until they stitch.
(Can be read without reading the previous fics in the series, but you'll miss some of the context and humour.)

Summary
Parenthood was never part of the op. Neither was surviving.
But somehow Clint and Natasha are still here—bleary-eyed, battle-worn, raising a baby in the middle of post-SHIELD fallout while trying not to flinch every time the past knocks too hard.
The Tower is crowded. The world is watching. The baby won’t sleep.
And at 3:24am, there’s still no Starbucks.
A story about recovery, reintegration, and what happens when the family you never thought you'd have starts to feel real.
Sequel to 7 months late and no Starbucks, where Clint Barton found out he was going to be a dad about five minutes before becoming one.
Now he and Natasha are raising a baby in the Tower, pretending they're fine, and avoiding every conversation that might actually help.
Includes:
– Covert parenting
– Avenger-level emotional repression
– Soft dads, sharp knives
– One baby with opinions and zero chill
– A rotating cast of emotionally constipated POVs
– Absolutely no sleep
– And one Starbucks order so cursed it should be studiedThere’s no manual. Just two former assassins trying to survive love, nappies, and 3:24am
