===Fanfiction===
* Moving The Furniture by copperbadge, Steve thinks about sex a lot, and he'd like to have some, if he could just stop being an idiot around the people he'd like to have it with.
* The Glass Parade by enigma731, Steve thinks that he’s seen Natasha be at least three different people in the short time he’s known her, and he isn’t sure which one is real.
* Late at Night by CardiffDoll, Steve can't sleep. Natasha breaks some personal rules to help. Not what you'd think!
* The Domestic Life of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers by thegraytigress, Being an Avenger is pretty incredible. Being in love through it all? Even more so. These are snapshots of Steve and Natasha as they build a life and a family together and fall more and more for each other every day. Domestic Avengers
* we carry ourselves forward, get by with what we can by andibeth82, “Look, no offense, Rogers. But I don’t give up those parts of my life so easily…not even to someone who saves it.” There’s a genuine tone of regret in her voice, and he doesn’t miss the way it sneaks in underneath the retort. Missing scene - post bunker explosion in CA:TWS
* Just a Blast From the Past by InNeedOfInspiration, Natasha watches Steve die and decides to use a time travel device from Asgard to go back in 1942 and prevent Bucky from turning into the Winter Soldier.

But as they grow close, Natasha finds it harder and harder to resist the charm of Steve from 1942.
* A Bolt From the Blue by InNeedOfInspiration, Sequel to Just a Blast From the Past. Natasha has succeeded in her mission to travel back in the forties and change the timeline in order to save Steve.
