Summary
Someone has been leaving Nat mysterious gifts on her doorstep—oddly personal gifts—and she dares to hope that a certain past love has finally regained his memories of her. She’s been holding in this memory of love lost for so long; can she dare to hope that they get a second chance?
(AU where Nat survived Endgame)
Vaguely inspired by Lord Huron's song "The Night We Met" (because I think it fits them perfectly)

Summary
Mr and Mrs Barnes live a quiet life in a quiet cul-de-sac in a quiet suburb. Natasha bakes pies, wears pearls and vacuums and is president of the Homeowners Association. Bucky works at an architectural company, chats about lawn maintenance and plays golf on the weekends. They have a weekly classy if not predictable date night, once weekly tender if not repetitive sex, and go to church every Sunday.
Predictable, quiet, calm... and a damn lie.
When Natasha and Bucky inadvertently discover they are on opposite sides of competing espionage establishments, their carefully constructed cover comes crashing down. Natasha had no idea her husband was the presumed dead Winter Soldier, Bucky had no clue his demure wife suits up in spandex and high heels to be the Black Widow on her monthly ‘girl’s night out’.
Now with their respective agencies convinced they are compromised and therefore expendable, Bucky and Natasha go undercover together to get to the bottom of a plot that could only end with both of them dead.
Their marriage was built on lies-- but is there enough truth in the years of ‘I love you’ to bring them through this mess?

Summary
After a devastating mission gone wrong, Navy SEAL James "Bucky" Barnes returns to civilian life a broken man. His elite team-his brothers-were lost in a fiery explosion that also claimed his left arm. Now, tucked away in the snow-covered mountain town of Pineford, James spends his days trying to find purpose and avoiding the memories that haunt him.
Natalia Romanova was born to dance-but not to belong. Raised by the strict owner of a prestigious ballet academy who adopted her for her talent, Natalia's entire life has been pirouettes, pressure, and perfection. When she fails to land a coveted spot in a major ballet company, she's punished with a last-minute assignment: perform as Clara in The Nutcracker... in the middle of nowhere.
Thrown together in a town that feels frozen in time, James and Natalia couldn't be more different. He's grounded by loss. She's desperate to fly. But as falling snow blankets the quiet streets of Pineford, a hesitant friendship begins to warm into something deeper-something that could melt even the coldest fears.
Together, they might just find that healing isn't about forgetting the past, but learning to dance with it.

In the aftermath of HYDRA's fall, James Bucky Barnes tries to piece together the fragments of a life stolen from him. Amongst all the faces, the memories and the horrors of his past, there's only one name that feels like home: Natalia Romanova.
