    Summary

    "What happens now?" Steve wondered aloud.
    "Well, I couldn't say for sure, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be something very bad," Tony guessed with a frown.
    He was right.

    Clint whump piece with really good team feels. The one where Tony gives Clint a bulldozer at the end <3

    Finally Steve settled on pulling the thin mattress off the bunk and to the floor. He moved Clint onto it as carefully as he could and laid down beside him. A few minutes later Steve gave up pretending that he was not terrified and pulled Clint bonelessly into his arms, rocking him a little and wishing for better days.

    Summary

    "Lighten up," Clint huffed. 

    "I'm sorry if I'm bringing you down, but my sense of humor decided to emigrate somewhere safer right around the time a volcano materialized next to me and decided to erupt." Tony scowled over his shoulder. “I’m starting to suspect that the genetic lab thing might have been a front.”

    “Ya think?”

    Summary

    Natasha froze. For a split second it seemed like the ice was hesitating, like it hadn’t made up its mind whether to hold or break. Then it gave another a wet crunch, and with a desperate sound Clint heaved himself towards her as it disintegrated under him. But he was too far away, and his fingertips scrabbled uselessly against hers. Then he was in the water again. Under the surface again. And this time he didn’t resurface.

    OR

    Natasha is of the opinion that one should try to avoid falling through the ice. Especially when the ambient temperature has plummeted well below freezing. And there's nowhere around to get warm and dry. And the water turns into a whitewater rapid a stone’s throw downstream. It's just common sense.

    In Clint's defense, he was dodging a bullet.

    Clint and Natasha are stranded after crashing into the Baltic with just one life jacket between them. Hypothermia coming on fast but he knows he can't let go.

     "I’ll make you a deal," Clint says. He's pretty sure the words don't come out sounding quite the way they should, he can't make his lips move properly. "I’ll keep the life jacket and you don’t- you don't pull a Jack on me. You hear me, Romanoff?”

    The is all crack. Fun, witty banter as Clint does his best to get under Natasha's skin. The one where he plays phone games, and buys her a Happy Meal, and they mug some thugs.

    "What?" she growls when he lifts an amused eyebrow. "My annoying people-quota has been filled for the day."

    I hate this because of how it ends, but also love it because at least it ends with them together.

    He smiles back. He smiles, even though he knows she means waiting with him until he passes out, or passes entirely, because he isn’t going to survive to open his eyes again if he lets them close. She is grateful he hasn’t realized she will be closing her eyes too. She only needs to outlast him. She can do that.

    The most recent mission went bad. The team doesn't understand, but then they've never really understood how to read Clint and Natasha

    Clint tugs the rest of the sweater down to her hips but doesn’t remove his hands. “We need to explain a few things. At the very least you can exonerate me in the eyes of the other guys.”

    She rolls her eyes, believing completely that everyone was overreacting, but she owes him that much, at the very least. “Fine.” She admits. “But the minute Steve starts lecturing us about our communication skills, my painkillers will kick in and I’ll probably pass out.”

    Little things Clint and Nat learn about each other

    He learns her name is Natasha, and that her palms are impossibly soft. He learns that she speaks more languages and dialects than he thought possible, and that she is older than her smooth skin would have you believe.

    She learns his name is Clint, and that he has blue eyes. She learns that those eyes see twice as well as most men, but that his hearing was damaged as a child.

    Prompt:

    I wondered if you would maybe consider writing something about Cint being deaf and the intimacy of his relationship with Natasha. I don't really know how to explain it but how the sensory deprivation it implies affects them in their intimacy, including maybe the trust it implies. Thank you ^^

    This isn't long, but it's one of my all time favorites that I always lose track of on Tumblr, so adding here to find it easier. Every paragraph packs a punch. Natasha realizes that she loves Clint, for his weakness, not in spite of it, and that maybe it actually isn't a weakness at all.

    Of course he is not less, because this is so much more. He has words on his skin and in his eyes where other men can barely speak with their mouths

    Summary

    A gunshot shatters the window and before he can even think about what’s going on she’s pinning him to the ground, her own body shielding his from the glass and gunfire. She stays on top of him long after the gunshots end and he wonders if she’s waiting for more gunfire or if she can’t move because she’s been shot. When he pushes her off of him and sees the blood, he realizes it’s the latter.
    “Asshole missed my heart,” she says weakly, coughing up blood.
    “We need to go.”

    Or, the one where Clint is supposed to kill her and decides not to and then everything goes to hell until it doesn't.

    It's not fallout from a nuclear blast. It's not a biological weapon. It's a strain of flu, and there's no treatment. People get sick by the hundreds of thousands, and then people start dying.

    Some Avengers work on a cure while the others escape to the countryside and try to survive. Until, one by one, they also start getting sick.

    Amazing 2 part series about how the team reacts to a worldwide pandemic (not covid). Lots of good angst and team feels in this one as they work together to survive as everything falls apart.

    Clint looks up at him then, his eyes hollow and fever bright. "You don't get to ask me that," he says, his voice rough, as though he's been coughing nonstop. Or screaming. "I got them. You don't get to ask me how."

    “Look, um. Claire, right? Okay. Don’t take this the wrong way, Claire, but you found a man bleeding to death in the trash and your first instinct wasn't to call 911?”

    Steve follows him, but not before catching Natasha's eye and mouthing, "If you need anything."

    She nods. She knows they're there. She knew they would come for her and Clint, trusting them to help out now is nothing. Sometimes, when she reflects on these facts, it's terrifying, how intertwined she's allowed herself to become. Most of the time, it makes her feel stronger than she ever has before.

    Clint's free hand pats around blindly until she sidles in closer to him. She says, "Right here."
