Age of Ultron

[melannen]

So, I have a WIP I'm working on that's about toddler Natasha and the Winter Soldier having to go into deep cover as uncle and niece.

Currently I'm using a combo of movie canon and the bits of comics/fanon backstory I like and whatever I feel like.

It doesn't matter that much it's unlikely anything in AoU will be worth changing your story for

Watch AoU because there might be interesting stuff to incorporate but assume the story will be going AU from movie canon

quit the wip for a couple years and see what the next cap movie ignores/retcons

Angsty fluff is the best fluff. But Winter Soldier Bucky + Baby Natasha *on his shoulders*? I think I like this fic already. :)

But if you want Winter Soldier to realise how awful things are, this might actually be a thing that could come up when talking to a toddler, as one of those things that Natasha would be blase about that normal people would literally jawdrop at.

I'm trying not to spoil anyone in the comments, but I could tell you in DM if you want to know?

Well, my base level of fuckedness for both of them is pretty high. So far the WS has failed to jawdrop at her coldbloodedly executing an enemy agent, that's business as usual for him at this point, so I doubt he'd care about whatever shocking revelation Whedon put in the movie about her training; it's the little ways in which she doesn't know how to be a child that's weirding him out, especially since he has to teach her to pass as one.
