Summary
This is a backstory / coming of age fic that details life changing events in the lives of Maria Hill and Natasha Romanoff at various ages starting at 17-18.Backstories covered: (1) Natasha's graduation from the Red Room / Maria confronts her abusive father; (2) How Maria met Fury and is recruited into SHIELD; (3) Natasha defects to SHIELDI also really wanted to write more Maria and Tony Stark and more Blackhill content so I have also added a Maria's first day at Stark Industries blackhill teaser story to open it and some time at Stark Industries may pop up throughout to break up the rather sad backstories of these two phenomenal women.
Note
Hello fellow readers and writers!!! Major thanks to you all for very enthusiastically supporting my Blackhill Black Widow rewrite. I decided a needed a new backstory fic for Maria and to do some more work with Natasha as well. This story is going to look at some crucial moments in the lives of Maria and Natasha at the ages of 17, 22, and 26 and 32. (Andy maybe some others idk but that’s what I have planned)And because I also wanted to add a Blackhill element there will also be a minor post CATWS storyline between Maria and Natasha which will start the night before Maria’s first day at Stark Industries but I think that part will be small flash forwards. I just wanted to warn everyone because usually my fics follow a storyline with some flashbacks in them but this will be more like a bounce around. I hope it is readable. Please let me know, I will be as clear as possible to indicate where you are in the story!!I really wanted to give Maria a backstory that no one has seen before and it may not be what you expect but I am very excited to write it and interested to see what you think!P.S. for those of you following my universe timeline the order is this:Collateral Damage > A Shot in the Dark > What Comes to Light > The Shadows on the Wall > The Spy and the Widow > All the Things we Left Unsaid > Boots on the Groundplease review the trigger warnings, Maria and Natasha had some rough events in their life.
