Clint agreed to take the contract to clear out the Red Room's prized Black Widow. The problem with that? Nobody bothered to mention to him that she was only twelve years old. ("You're holding me hostage," Natasha said scathingly. He waited a beat, then: "Hostage would imply that you're going back. And you aren't.")

Loneliness is unbearable. Jackie finds herself spending the summer before senior year with Nat. Things... evolve from there. ("𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦?" "𝘞𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮." 𝘕𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘴.

Daryl lost custody of his daughter to her grandparents before the world ends. He assumes she's dead and gone, just like everyone else, and somehow finds her after the prison falls and he's with the Claimers. Alive, not dead- just one more thing he might have to lose all over again. (in which Leigh Dixon is on the run from Negan Smith and decides to hike along some old train tracks to get to Atlanta, unfortunately colliding with the man she thought she would never see again after he abandoned her) • (𝙾𝚑, 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚞𝚗𝚐.
