When part of the Avengers are thrown back in time find the Soul Stone, they encounter the wild truth about the what was SHIELD. A woman in a red dress takes them hostage, and their only hope is to be saved by Agent Carter and Howard and Maria Stark. During all of this, Thanos has followed them back, hoping to get into the Infinity Stone before anyone else, even if this means death.

Legally, I do not own any of the characters or whatever.
Note: I will state now that it will not all be correct, and in some aspects, I am glossing over things as well as rewriting events. I am focusing more on the movies and a little on "Agents of Shield." I do not mean to do this entirely, however to further the plot, it was necessary. I hope you can understand. Also, obviously, this does not follow "Infinity Wars" plot because it was written and published before "Infinity Wars" came out.
This will written because I was sick and tired of Maria Stark having no backstory and was constantly there to further the plot points of males around her, in the comics and in the movies. While this is fictional and not based much on her character, I did try to keep it as close to the material I was able to find online as possible.

Anastasya is an assassin, an advanced super soldier created by HYDRA in WWII, alongside James Barnes. But her life gets a different turn than his; she wakes up after being in ice for decades and, luckily for everyone, Tony Stark finds her first when she returns to the mainland. Her biggest problem, with all the problems that come with Thanos wanting to kill half of all living creatures, is getting control over her emotions. The man who helps her understand the importance of allowing yourself to feel is Steve Rogers, with who she develops a special connection. But what happens if, after all they did to prevent it, she does get activated again? Will The Avengers have to face two remaining Winter Soldiers at once? Or can they get through the hard core of The Soldiers and tame their spirits before it's too late, before the fight of their lives? • • timeline is set before Avengers: Infinity War • there is usually a video at the beginning of every chapter for the ~vibe~ • I do not own or pretend to own Marvel's characters, plots, buildings etc. © cover by me ⚠ disclaimer: this story is mature, it contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, mental illnesses and other mature themes ⚠ have in mind: I have no idea if this book would make sense considering all Marvel's 'rules' about powered people, winter soldiers, time travel etc. I just came up with this idea, decided to write it down and here we are :)
A Tale of Mischief and Mutants  by geekygirlg
200 parts Complete Mature
When Samantha a mutant and X-man is rescued from her captors by S.H.I.E.L.D she finds comfort from an unlikely source. This story follows the relationship between my OC Samantha Howlett and everyone's favorite Jotun Loki Odinson. This is an AU where the X-men have existed in the MCU since the very beginning they are involved in the events that take place in the MCU such as the battle of New York and other "Avengers level threats." In this AU Thor Ragnarok goes down slightly differently with Thor loosing his hammer when he falls from the bifrost instead of it being broken by Hela. He finds it later and figures out its no match for Hela. Thor then goes to forge Stormbreaker which is also not strong enough and he's forced to allow Ragnarok to take place. Thanos is killed prior to 2018 so he never gets the infinity stones and most of the events in Infinity War and Endgame do not occur. In this AU Spider-Man has a public identity now and everyone's knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He didn't flip out like he does in the movies because Tony is there to help him through it. Magic works slightly differently than it does in the movies because I wrote this before some of the rules with it were established and it's too late to change it now for story reasons. There are also other differences that luckily can be explained away via the multiverse. Though I try to draw a lot of inspiration from the main MCU timeline and work with the continuity that gives me it's not always possible to do because of how this story needs to play out. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Strong language, violence, some sexual content (honestly not much more than a PG-13 movie would show) mentions and descriptions of physical abuse and sexual abuse. Obviously I own nothing but my OCs. Enjoy!
I am Solar Aura, an Avenger. by hiimel23
13 parts Ongoing
I was born in 1986 and was kidnapped at the age of five, family dead. The girls who also got kidnapped eventually died as they didn't win or play by the rules. I escaped those psychos and met Nick Fury at the age of 22 in 2008, he actually took care of me and learned everything about me. So did Barton and Romanoff. I was a hydra test subject and wanted dead by thanos, Dreykov and many others only because I apparently betrayed their trust when I never even met Thanos (I met Dreykov once). I only ever saw his fake self on a screen, not him. (I met Gamora and Nebula) My powers: Telekinesis (magic) , strength, fire manipulation, levitation and really weak healing powers that were once strong. Later on when Captain America / Steve Rogers is introduced ( when we're 25) after waking up 75 years later to all of us (the other avengers) we all work as a team and defeat anyone who gets in our way, we've defeated many people..and aliens..? Many more but me and Steve fall in love which isn't really...what's the word? Oh yeah, rare... When Nick found me , he already knew Tony, as Nick couldn't take me in he made me stay with someone he apparently trusted.. and they both agreed..well Pepper was more than thrilled to welcome me but Tony wasn't to sure at first, neither was I but he warmed up eventually, but the only thing I hate is that him and Steve argue and hate each other constantly. Spoiler Alert - In Endgame after we all start looking at each other, realising some of us survived. I try hide that I'm bleeding..a lot after thanos impaled me with his sword when me and him were fighting alone, when no one was near to help. My healing powers were too weak so I didn't last long. I collapse next to Tony after saying goodbye to him one last time. He sacrificed himself for us...Steve rushes to me and notices what's happened, he tries his best to save me, does he succeed with a panicking pepper next to him? Hey, maybe..let's find out shall we?

When Steve went to return the stones, he's not only bringing the stones with him but the slightest hope of bringing Natasha back. No one really expected how easy to get the sacrifice back opposite to how hard it was to get the stone, but no one's gonna complain on getting Natasha Romanoff back, it was what everyone wanted. After Steve got Natasha back they sat down for a moment and talked about the possibilities of Steve staying in his original time. What happens if he stays, how will it affect Natasha? "You're thinking of staying..." she was stating more than questioning. "I'm not sure Nat... I got a new life here..." "But that's not the life you wanted..." Steve turned to look at Natasha for the first time since they talked about these possibilities. 📌 Completed: Dec 2019 📌 Slow Edit: 2021 April ⚠️ First story written in full English. English is not my first language thus, this will have a lot of grammatically incorrect sentences. ⚠️ No background or knowledge in story writing thus, I used wrong the tenses. ⚠️ Not a comic reader, this is plainly based from mcu movies I've watched. ⚠️ This story is united. I might edit to correct some grammars but not now and when I do, please know that it would still have grammar errors. 📌 Lastly, thank you for giving this story ad much attention as it got. I never expected I'd get 20K reads. The last parts are rushed though, but still I got some votes and I'm very thankful. 💕
I'm Coming For You- Marvel AU by jess_hi
28 parts Complete
Annika grew up in the mysterious Red Room, the place where the all so famous Natasha Romanoff got trained. Except, back in Russia, she is known by a different name. Natalia Alianovna, one of the most successful assassins the Red Room ever had. One of the few to gain the title, Black Widow, from graduating from the Red Room. But she left that life behind, going to America, and becoming a 'Avenger'. Only problem is, the people who trained her want her back. And they will take whatever they have to. Here is where Annika comes in. She is the youngest girl ever to graduate from the Red room at the young age of thirteen. As a baby, she was found left by the gates of the building, abandoned. Left with only a first name, they decided to take her in. She grew up there, starting her training much younger than the six year olds that are dropped off. With that start, and simply never knowing anything else, made her much more dangerous than any other girl there. She started missions at six, being able to do more damage because of her younger age. They found another mission for her, one that was unique from all of her others. She had to befriend the young Spider-Man, and get him to show her the other Avengers. So she could bring the older Black Widow home. AN: Okay, so I'm gonna say it now, before the story even starts. I am making a separate universe. I won't lie to you, I hated how Infinity War and Endgame went. So, something happened to Thanos after Age of Ultron, like he got murdered by somebody. So that threat just won't come anymore. Just thought I'd let you know.
Broken - a Bucky Barnes x Female Reader story by literaryavenger
7 parts Complete
Y/N Y/LN has been part of the Avengers since the start, she's battled against Loki, Ultron and Hydra. Now the team is her family and everybody loves her. One day the whole team disappears for a mission, half of them come back the next day, two weeks later the rest of the team, minus one. No one wants to tell her what happened. Steve Rogers, her best friend, comes back three whole months later, with a new guy: Steve's childhood best friend Bucky. That's when she finds out that her family has been in a Civil War, all because of Bucky. Tony still can't see past the Winter Soldier, but Y/N can't help but see the broken man full of pain and empty of memories. - For the sake of my own sanity in this story Infinity War and Endgame do not happen. Also Pietro didn't die, Asgard did not get blown up and Loki is an Avenger. Scott also is an Avenger so let's pretend Cassie and her mother and the Pym family all live in New York :) - "You shouldn't be here..." he says quietly. He's still avoiding your question, so instead you ask "Why not?" "I could hurt you..." he says in a small, sad voice that breaks your heart. "Would you hurt me?" you ask. He frowns and almost immediately says "of course not" still very quietly. You give him a reassuring smile and say "Then I'm not worried." he finally looks up at you and gives you a small smile. - This was my first story so I'm sorry if the writing is not too good, I'll get better I promise. Also, English is my third language but I try my best, if you find mistakes feel free to point them out. - #38 in avengersfanfiction 01/08/2024 - I do not own any characters except for Y/N and any other character of my creation, all the rights belong to Marvel.
