Fics like Leaving Loss and Learning Life

The Red Room is gone. They won. It's over. Natasha and her family are free. But taking down the Red Room is one thing, learning what life looks like without it is another. Freedom is not something they were ever trained for. Natasha is still figuring out how to parent her traumatised daughter, who seems more soldier than child most days. Bucky is pulled between fighting Hydra and the woman and daughter he loves more than anything. Steffie has little practical understanding of safety. Yelena has only just started exploring a world free of chemical subjugation, a world of food and fashion and choices and unexpected connections. Melina is settling (back) into being a mother and grandmother, but resents the limitations of her ill-health. All of them are traumatised. All of them have a lot to learn and overcome. But together, they might just be able to face anything. Or: The (Ex) Assassins' guide to family life, featuring: bribing a child to watch cartoons, top hats, home renovations, many phone calls, Christmas fluff, the occasional break in (or out), sparring for comfort, children being way too sneaky for their own good, and a few things done completely out of order.
