Yeah, most smashnames just make me roll my eyes. But Blackhawk is good, and I'm weirdly entertained by Pepperony. <g> (Though not at all interested in the ship itself. See: not a shipper. Except, apparently, for Hawkeye/Black Widow.)
I've been reading a lot of aftermath fics (which I found after making that request), but like I said, none of them have quite scratched the itch yet; they're falling too much into categories of fanfic I'm not interested in, like smut (lust isn't what interests me in in that relationship) or 100% interiority, without enough of a frame to make it solid for me.
I also have a horrible, horrible desire for an alternate version where Hawkeye takes her prisoner, rather than vice versa, and Loki follows through on his threat. Not to the extent of them both dying, but showing just what it is Natasha fears (not rape; that's too obvious and too easy), and then her having to keep it together through the fear to manipulate and deprogram Clint before he can kill her. But that would be extremely difficult to write well.
