Everyone knows of the Black Widows, but very few know of the Red Thorn.
"Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe she exists, those who do call her the Red Thorn. She is a ghost story, even to my own agents. I can count the amount of people who know her true identity on one hand."
The first fifteen chapters or so will be Red's place withing the MCU up until Civil War, that is where the timeline starts to really diverge from that of the MCU, with no Thanos and Infinity Wars. My true Marvel Nerd comes out in this story with loads of difference references and cameos from my favourite characters.
TRIGGER WARNING: This story does touch sensitive subjects such as Eating Disorders, Self Harm Severe PTSD. I have taken the time to consider whether or not to put trigger warnings at the beginning of such chapters, but it is a common theme throughout the story as it is a big part of what makes Red, well, Red, so I have decided to put this one here to explain that if these are subjects you are sensitive to, I believe it in your best interest not to read. Just in case.
One final disclaimer, I do not own any of the Marvel characters, only Red and a few others that depend entirely on her story.
With that, enjoy!

What The Shadows Hide ~ Natasha x female OC.
- This is not edited, it's a first draft. I wrote it with 13. Hereby you are warned. - Everybody has a chapter of their story they don't want others to read. (Costia has a whole book) - Costia was raised to be a killer among other girls, one of them Natalia. The two were getting closer and made plans together, to escape the monsters the Red Room made them. But Costia was sold to Hydra, leaving Natalia in the Red Room. Natalia, or what she likes to be called now; Natasha, ended up working for Shield. She locked her past away. But then she gets the mission to eliminate the White Shadow, just as Clint had to do it with the Black Widow. But he failed his mission, didn't he? #1 romanoff #2 natashaxreader #2 natasha #2 mcu (17th October 21 - 22nd May 23) ~nearly all the characters and actions belong to marvel, I do not own them~Complete
Hero (Loki & Avengers)
Cassidy Martin didn't ask for any of this, and she doesn't want it. Her powers came to her by an accident, a fluke, and now they're threatening to ruin her life. But she can control metal now. She can turn invisible. She can fly. And she has no idea what to do about it. When Cassidy stumbles into the world of the Avengers, she has two choices. She can run from herself, or she can embrace what she is. And maybe along the way she can teach another lost soul to embrace himself as well. Loki. He was sure he was a villain, then he wasn't quite sure what he was, and now he may only be sure of her. But what is sure is that something much bigger than all of them is threatening the home they love, and its name is Thanos. So, she now has the superpowers and the Avengers at her back, but don't be fooled. Cassidy Martin is no hero. She couldn't even save herself. A/N: This story takes place a few months after the events of Civil War, and right after Ragnarok (so before Infinity War). This story is in a lot of ways my replacement to Infinity War.Complete

Saving Me, From Me (Bucky Barnes)
Please bare in mind I wrote this when I was 14/15 so there is gonna be bad writing, cringe scenes and poor flow 😂😂 Trigger Warnings- mentions and depictions of physical and emotional abuse, domestic abuse, self harm (there are some scenes in which this is done but it is not written about in detail), parental death and alcohol abuse (if anyone reading this has anymore that are written about please let me know and I'll update this) Powers- Telepathy, Telekinesis and Energy Manipulation Hero Name- Shadow This won't really follow the comics or movies that much Maddie has always been an outcast. At school, college and everywhere else. She thought that by moving away from her home in England that she could leave her troubled past behind and start something new. How wrong she was, especially after Nick Fury came to speak with her about the Avengers. And then she meets him, the person that could finally make her troubled life go back on the right path.

Black Hawk Down
When Natasha comes back from a particularly difficult mission to find that Clint has disappeared off the grid. She must find him before it's too late. But is her past catching up? With the Council against her how many people can she truly trust? Will everyone make it out in one piece if the Red Room comes knocking. This story is in no way related to my other story: Her Hidden Past. It is set after the Avengers and before the Winter Soldier so it would be considered AU now probably. Once again the characters belong to Marvel not me but the story line is my own.Complete
