Summary
A collection of unrelated prompt ficlets set in the MCU (including crossovers and one fusion AU); mostly Darcy Lewis-centric. (Formerly titled 'hollow in the middle' because I'm a pretentious wanker sometimes.)Each chapter is a separate story, and they are all labeled with pairing and prompt for ease of browsing.
Note
I was bored at work and begged for prompts on tumblr and then these happened. And then boring Fridays kept happening, and I kept writing.None of these take place in the same universe except where noted, and they are all unbeta'd.Title is from "Martin" by the Zac Brown Band.Each chapter is titled by the character or pairing and the prompt, so you can skip right over to the ones that interest you using the chapter index.

Names are just words, but words have power. Natalia Alianovna Romanova, alias Natasha Romanoff, alias Black Widow, knows that better than most. It was the first thing they took from her in the Red Room, so long ago that she no longer remembers if she was truly born Natalia or not, when they sought to take a child and mold her into a killer.
But now she is Natasha, the Black Widow, a name she claimed for herself in blood and pain and death. She is what she made herself, built brick by brick from the rubble left by the Red Room’s broken dreams. She is Natasha, and though it is only a name, it is her name, and she will never let anyone take it from her again.
