Alexei Shostakov - Blog Posts
Clint Barton’s House of Strays, by me and @geeodes
A whole one person said they were interested so get fuckin ready
In a post-S.H.I.E.L.D., post-Sokovia Accords world, where is Natasha to stash dozens of newly freed child assassins?
- is what she says when she shows up at Clint’s door with Yelena, Melina, Alexei, and five widows under the age of 20 trailing behind her
Clint:
Natasha:
Yelena:
Melina:
Alexei:
The widows:
Clint:
Clint: So are you guys staying for dinner, or…?
They did stay for dinner
And dessert
And breakfast the next morning. Clint’s kids come downstairs to find five child spies asleep on the floor in living room, and the five child spies wake to see three kids in matching pajamas openly staring at them
Clint and Laura talk, and soon enough, Widows start flooding in.
Sent by Yelena from all over the world, girls ranging from six to thirty show up in droves
After a while shoving Widows on couches and mattresses and guest bedrooms, Clint convinces Laura to let him start a new project.
With Natasha, Alexei, Melina, and eventually Tony’s help, he builds a lodge beside the farmhouse.
Bedrooms go in on the top floor; bunk beds for reunited sisters, singles for girls who have never known a quiet night’s sleep, a wide kitchen on the main floor stuffed with food the girls have never had the chance to eat.
Widows who don’t want to stay at the farm are sent to the Avengers Tower (which Tony did not sell, *cough*) and are given access to therapy and job opportunities, and anything else they could need while they adjust to life outside the Red Room
It brings more controversy down on Tony, but what else was he gonna do? Say no?
He considers it after one particularly indoctrinated 6-year-old tries kicking his ass and has to be pulled off him by Natasha
The lodge becomes a safe haven for Widows, even after they’ve found their places in the world.
It takes a while for some to forgive Melina for her part in their enslavement, but she does her best every day to earn their forgiveness.
She becomes friends with Laura Barton, their relationship awkward at first but eventually effortless. The two share looks that are indecipherable to others, but they conduct entire conversations without saying a word. Natasha is befuddled.
Alexei warms up to the Barton kids immediately. They hang off his arms while he booms war stories and nonsense, shrugging off Clint’s concerns
“Relax, Robin Hood. They are soft and squishy, they learn to be strong!”
“… Whatever you say.”
Thanksgivings at the Barton farm start moving outside. Long tables are stuffed with Widows of all ages, Avengers, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., families, and anyone else who will fit, crowding around in the kitchens and living rooms and fields, swapping stories and inside jokes
Nowhere in the world is totally safe, but the Barton farm feels pretty close
Initial thoughts: Yelena looks like a goddess, Bob does not want to be here, Alexei and John are vibing together and Bucky’s hair is going through a mid-life crisis
Red Medic Update and Edits
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
First, I apologize for not updating my blog. I have gotten incredibly busy with work and school.
Next, I have made some more plans and edits to my MCU fanfiction, the Red Medic series.
The release date: I plan to complete and release all the stories this July, for Christmas in July.
Titles: I have abridged the titles. Here are the abridged titles below:
a. Red Medic and the Red Guardian
b. Red Medic
c. Red Medic and the Red Widow
3. I have began writing it, and will post more updates here and on Wattpad. Stay tuned!
Thank you and have a good day or night.
New Fanfiction Changes: Titles
Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
Earlier, I have posted about my new black widow fanfiction, and how I have made some edits to it, and in the process changed it up.
One of the most notable changes I have made is to the title.
Originally, I had planned to release one fic, titled "The Widows Caretaker". However, I have changed my plans, to instead release a series of fics, to explains where it all starts and where it all ends up. As such, I have changed the titles, so they flow together in a series.
I have changed it to the red medic series.
The Red Medic is the protagonist Olgas vigilante alias.
As of now, here are the stories, in chronological order(in terms of setting):
Red Guardian and the Red Medic
Red Medic: Part 1
Red Medic: Part 2
Red Medic and the Red Widow
TLDR: "The Widows Caretaker" is now titled as the "Red Medic" series.
In my next post, I will explain changes I made to the setting. If you are a fan of the TV series Yellowstone, you will be excited to hear about this story!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night.
New Fanfiction Edits
Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
As a warning, this is a long post.
Earlier, I posted that while my new Black Widow fanfiction is 4 years in the making, it still needed some edits. I have made those edits, but I promise I did not make many changes.
It is still a crossover between Earth-616 and Earth-730834. As in, Alexei Shostakov in my new fanfiction is Alexei Shostakov in Earth-730834.
In addition, I have adapted Earth-616 characters, to my interpretations that are appropriate for the story.
The protagonist is still Alexei's illegitimate daughter olga. Olga is my adaptation of Earth-616 Black Widow comics character Oleg Mihalovich.
In addition, the protagonists daughter is still ava. Ava in my fanfiction is still my adaptation of Ava Orlova aka the red widow, a well-known Earth-616 character.
*FYI I have not listed Olga and Avas last names. The reason is because Olga's last name changes in different stories based on her family situation and marital status, and on Avas last name, I will explain that in a further post in which I discuss adaptations of other characters. Thank you for understanding.
In addition, Olga is still an emergency medicine resident then physician, and the story is still set in a rural area in the northern great plains.
In total, I have not made many changes in the process of editing my new fanfiction.
In future posts, I will explain what changes I do make, and once I clear those out, start posting about the story, in the form of concise rough drafts. So please stay tuned for upcoming posts!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post, and thank you for reading it to the end. Have a good day or night.
New Fanfiction
Good morning, afternoon, or evening.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
I am sorry that I haven's posted in a long time. I have been very busy with schoolwork, and haven't carved out the time to write blog posts.
Over six months ago, I finally got around to posting previews of my Black Widow fanfiction, titled "The Widows Caretaker". I had stated that it was four years in the making, so I had been waiting a long time to publish it. Well, four years was not enough time to perfect it, at least to my standards. So, I have edited it again, to make it make more sense. I will explain why in further posts shortly.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night.
Fanfiction Revisions and Edits Part 1
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
After I proof-read my marvel-descendants crossover fanfiction "The Widows Caretaker", I noticed that it did not make as much sense as I wanted it to. As such, I revised and edited it. Unfortunately, to make it make sense, I ended up drastically changing the context of the story. I will explain more in another post.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.
Have a good day/night!
More Descendants OCs
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone who is reading this!
My boyfriend and I have come up with more Descendants OCs. But this time, we made OCs from different fandoms(franchises owned by Disney), specifically Marvel and Indiana Jones. In addition, we have inserted canon characters' children, changing the backstories of some canon characters. I will provide separate posts for each character.
Have a nice day or night!
You'd be completely right.
and if I said the Thunderbolts are more of a family than the Avengers were
when alexei saved that little girl because he couldn't save his anymore.
i watched thunderbolts yesterday night and i am not the same person i was before i sat down in that theater. the mental health representation, the anti heroes banding together, the start of their redemption arcs, yelena's monologue, john walker being (surprisingly and unfortunately) funny, bob's entire character in general, james buchanan barnes (obviously), THE HUG??? someone needs to sedate me before i do something insane like trying to shift into this universe to be friends with everyone as if it's still 2020.
Mel: (over the phone) “Someone named Bob”
Bucky: (looking at the others) “Bob?”
Yelena, Alexei, Walker & Ava: (in unison) “Bob!”
you will never understand unless you watch Thunderbolts* how fucking hilarious this scene was.
— Thunderbolts*
that allegory for depression was the best fucking movie ive seen all year.
Eye of the Hurricane - 1
Bob Reynolds X black fem reader
A/N - reader is Wakandan. Her family had names, but you choose how they look. Reader is Ayo’s sister. Reader is described to wear a bonnet/scarf on missions
Warnings - mature language, violence, blood, drowning, illness? Does that need a warning? Mentions of abuse, suicide, and overdosing.
The hum of the outreach center faded as the vibranium doors slid shut behind you. Another day of mediating disputes, guiding young minds, and reminding the world that Wakanda was not simply a beacon—but a boundary.
You hadn’t even unwrapped the shawl from your shoulders when you saw the familiar black SUV idling at the curb.
Bucky Barnes was leaning against the hood, arms folded, eyes half-hidden beneath his tousled hair. His vibranium arm gleamed faintly in the sun, a gift your country had made for him. Your sister Ayo still called him White Wolf, but you had other names in mind.
“You’re late,” you said as you approached.
“I’m early,” Bucky replied. “You’re just always on time.”
You slid into the passenger seat without another word. The car moved forward with a low growl of the engine, and the silence stretched comfortably for a while—until Bucky broke it.
“They’re a mess.”
“I know. I read their file.”
He sighed. “Alright. Quick run-down. You ready?”
You nodded, fingers tapping the edge of the console.
“Yelena works better alone. She’s brilliant, lethal, and talks to her Guinea Pig more than any of us. I respect it.”
“Guinea Pig?”
“Don’t ask. Anyways, Alexei—Red Guardian—he’s… enthusiastic. Tries to force bonding exercises. Made us do trust falls last week.”
You blinked. “Did you catch him?”
“I didn’t participate.”
“Mm.”
“John Walker—”
“Ayo told me about him. Called him an ass.”
“Yeah. He thinks he’s in charge. Looks at himself in the mirror like he’s the second coming of Steve Rogers. Ava hates him.”
“Don’t blame her.”
He gave you a look. “Ava’s trying. But she doesn’t work with anyone she doesn’t respect. And she doesn’t respect anyone.”
You hum, before asking about the one he forgot to mention. “And Robert?”
Bucky’s hands tightened on the wheel. The car shifted lanes.
“Bob’s… scared. Doesn’t say much. Doesn’t do much. He’s powerful—beyond what anyone understands. He flat out refuses to do any training because he’s scared he’s gonna hurt someone. Very timid and jumpy.”
You looked out the window, watching the landscape shift from city streets to a more remote, secure perimeter. Towering steel and glass rose ahead—the new Avengers facility.
“So,” you said, “a loner, a failed Captain America, a hyperactive Soviet, a bitter ghost, and a god in self-exile. And you want me to turn them into a team?”
He gave you a sideways glance. “You made me better, didn’t you?”
You scoffed. “You needed a bath and boundaries. That wasn’t hard.”
He actually laughed.
But as the car approached the gates, your smile faded, replaced by something steadier. Quieter.
“They’re not going to like me,” you murmured.
“Nope,” Bucky agreed. “But they’ll listen to you. Eventually.”
“No they won’t.”
“No, they won’t.” He sighed.
•••
The elevator was silent save for the soft hum as it climbed. You leaned casually against the wall, watching the numbers tick upward.
“This place is impressive,” you murmured, eyes scanning the sleek paneling. “Shuri would be losing her mind right now. She’d probably try to scan everything before declaring it inefficient.”
Bucky chuckled beside you.
“She’d challenge Tony to a tech duel if he were still alive,” you added.
“She’d win,” he replied.
You gave him a sly look. “Obviously.”
The elevator dinged.
And then chaos.
The doors slid open into a modern, open-concept living room—and total pandemonium.
Yelena stood with her arms folded, eyebrows drawn, her accent sharp and slicing as she argued with John Walker, who was pointing with that infuriating confidence only men like him could muster. Ava was on the other side, jaw clenched, eyes blazing, practically vibrating with suppressed rage.
“I don’t take orders from you,” Ava snapped.
“You’re on a team, not a solo mission anymore—” John barked.
“You’re not the damn leader,” Yelena cut in, throwing a hand between them. “You’re just loud. There’s a difference.”
Off to the side, Alexei watched the spectacle with a bowl of Wheaties in one hand and a bemused expression.
“We must work together,” he announced through a mouthful of cereal. “Like family. Like Avengers! You know, they do the trust falls!”
You stepped out of the elevator without flinching.
“Should I come back in five minutes?” you asked dryly.
All heads turned.
The room went very still—except for the sound of Alexei crunching loudly.
“Who’s that?” John asked, still scowling.
“Someone smarter than you,” Yelena muttered.
You ignored both of them. Your eyes swept the room once, cataloging body language, friction, and power dynamics like instinct.
Then you saw him.
In the kitchen, away from the shouting, Bob Reynolds stood alone.
He didn’t look up. Didn’t move. Just kept his hands braced on the counter like he needed it to anchor him.
You let your eyes linger for a beat.
Then looked away.
“Alright,” you said, clapping your hands once. “I see this is going to be even more fun than I thought.”
“Who are you, exactly?” John snapped.
“Your new therapist,” you said with a flat smile. “Y/N L/N. From the Wakandan Outreach Center in New York. And apparently, your only chance at functioning as something vaguely resembling a team.”
“Now,” you said, turning toward Bob briefly before facing the others again, “someone tell me which one of you started the fire in the training room.”
A beat of silence.
Then Alexei raised his spoon.
“I said we should not use the flamethrowers indoors… but no one listens to Red Guardian.”
This is going to be fun.
A/N. I know it’s kinda short but I’ll be writing more once school lets out Friday
@bee-unknown @dc-marvel-fics @zerocyphero7 @starsoflace @charlothee @lourdesssssssssssssss @blackrigel @xplot-buni
With the Raft becoming overcrowded, Yelena decides to recruit some of its superpowered inmates and her old friends into a second iteration of the Thunderbolts. But when they're tasked with leading a military siege against New Asgard, loyalties are tested and tensions rise, causing divisions that will change the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever.
I watched yesterday thunderbolts* and I soo happy like this was top 5 marvel movies bro,
!!SPOILER !!
This film is so amazing like showing us some of the some of the red room was jus peak and yelena helping overcome bob his trauma but why didnt they show us what bucky saw in the void that would intresting like sth ab this like he in the comics had his first mission to kill his parents. I jus dont get it why Sam would wanna sue Avengers(Thunderbolts) for the name cuz like Bucky is a part of the new Avengers and bro they are besties and man...
I did not wanted to see their divorce🥀💔 (well its not shown only said but damn bro)
And that the ship from fantastic 4 shows up is like mind blowing
Also check out my yelena drawing plz (cuz I spend like 2h on that)
*bucky phone rings*
Yelena: *who was close to the phone* uhhh bucky, babydoll is calling.
Bucky: oh, better answer that.
Alexei: is that your beloved?
Bucky: yeah it's my husband
Yelena: You have a husband?!?
Ava: since when are you married?!?
Bob: *genuinely curious* do we know him?
Walker: *pretending to be busy*
Bucky: yeah, it's captain america
Thun-new avengerz*: WHAT!?!?
people are making edits. everyone is getting shipped with everyone. there was cheering at the post credits scene. avengers tower fan fiction is being written. marvel is SO BACK
no because it’s really really important to me that in a world where we’re so used to the heroes punching and shooting their way to victory, thunderbolts* went out of its way to show us that the void is still very much a part of bob, and bob is their friend, so they’re going to accept every facet of who he is and give him a soft place to land, even if that means they’ll have to be the ones to pull him back from the darkness every single time. because that’s what friends family will do for each other, no questions asked.
Mel: (over the phone) “Someone named Bob”
Bucky: (looking at the others) “Bob?”
Yelena, Alexei, Walker & Ava: (in unison) “Bob!”
you will never understand unless you watch Thunderbolts* how fucking hilarious this scene was.
— Thunderbolts*
The scene where Bob is beating the shit out of the dark version of himself and Yelena risks it all to run across the room to hold him, the others following suit shortly after, is easily one of the most powerful scenes in a marvel movie literally ever like it’s so important
I wonder if Alexei ever drove Bucky in the limo while he was working in DC?
