Avengers fic: Cakewalk

[rachelmanija]

Some of you have found this already. (Good God! So this is what it's like to write in a currently popular fandom, even if not for the juggernaut pairing. I can only imagine how many people would read this by now if it was about Steve and Tony.) For those of you who haven't, I wrote a short story about Clint and Natasha (Hawkeye and Black Widow.)

Shortly after the end of the end of the movie, Nick Fury sends the two of them on a very easy mission, just to make sure everything's all right between them and Clint is fit for duty. The mission is a cakewalk. Some other things aren't. Rated PG; nothing more disturbing or explicit than is seen or implied in the movie. Cakewalk.

ETA: Oh, and if you've already read it, I have a theory about Natasha's greatest fear which was impossible to get into the story itself due to it being from Clint's POV. Ask if you're curious.

I liked your theory that he was sort of imprinting on Natasha and Steve at the time - like, maybe he wasn't all back so much as just taking out their targets the way he'd taken out Loki's for him. And maybe Natasha doesn't really have time to notice that there's still something wrong with him until afterwards, when there's not so much going on anymore - because he was acting kind of off, with Loki, but not that far off. He's still got initiative and smarts, he's not all obviously mindless drone.
