Fics like if we can make it through the night

Something goes still inside Maria, spidering outwards through her nerve system. A helicopter wheels into a skyscraper, and she knows - because this sure isn’t her first rodeo - that she should be deafened by the sound, that she should be able to feel the heat of all that fire slam into her like it has physicality, but she has gone cold and numb. The skin of her left index finger peels off like dust. The pressure in her head crescendoes, the headache bursting bright white behind her eyes. The asphalt catches only half of her as she falls, an arm and her legs already scattered to the wind in ashes. As her head starts to blow away, molten pain encases her. She’s sure she doesn’t have a brain anymore, that it is coming apart at the seams like the rest of her, and yet–a delicate whisper touches against her mind, telling her, There is always another way. in which Maria does not get snapped, Natasha does not go to Vormir, but otherwise they're as useless as they've always been.
