    Summary

    The Red Room is gone. They won. It's over.

    Natasha and her family are free.

    But taking down the Red Room is one thing, learning what life looks like without it is another. Freedom is not something they were ever trained for.

    Natasha is still figuring out how to parent her traumatised daughter, who seems more soldier than child most days.
    Bucky is pulled between fighting Hydra and the woman and daughter he loves more than anything.
    Steffie has little practical understanding of safety.
    Yelena has only just started exploring a world free of chemical subjugation, a world of food and fashion and choices and unexpected connections.
    Melina is settling (back) into being a mother and grandmother, but resents the limitations of her ill-health.

    All of them are traumatised. All of them have a lot to learn and overcome. But together, they might just be able to face anything.

    Or: The (Ex) Assassins' guide to family life, featuring: bribing a child to watch cartoons, top hats, home renovations, many phone calls, Christmas fluff, the occasional break in (or out), sparring for comfort, children being way too sneaky for their own good, and a few things done completely out of order.

    Summary

    “You were pregnant.”

    13 years ago those words had broken Natasha’s heart and numbed it to ice. 13 years ago Madame told Natasha they’d killed the child in her womb during her graduation ceremony. 13 years ago Dreykov forced Natasha to watch as the Winter Soldier was wiped of all memory of her.

    She’d had cause to curse the Red Room a thousand times over but even she hadn't seen this coming. She'd never imagined Madame lied. She hadn’t considered Dreykov would want to keep the Winter Soldier’s child.

    When Steve asked her to look for Bucky, she didn’t expect to find him. She wasn't prepared to find a 10 year old with red hair, green eyes, and her James's features.

    She thought she’d lost her child forever, before she even had her, but it was all a lie. Now suddenly she’s mother to a traumatised 10 year old girl more familiar with guns than hugs. Her child has spent 3 years frozen in cryogenic storage and the other 10 training as a Widow.

    And Natasha would go to the ends of the earth and fight any monster to protect her daughter but even she might not be up to the task of protecting her baby girl. Because the Red Room is still out there, and Dreykov will stop at nothing.

    Summary

    “You’re disappointed,” Peter says quietly, but it’s phrased in more of a question, because in all honesty Peter can’t tell what Erik is feeling right now. All he knows is that he’s here and he’s not leaving.

    Erik looks affronted for a moment, eyebrows creased in resolve. “How could I be disappointed? You’re… you’re perfect.”

    Or, 5 times Peter pictured telling Erik he was his son +1 time he actually did.
