[fill] An Eyeless Face 2b/2 Re: Clint + team - Clint has eyes for every occasion

[anonymous]

Clint is just sitting there with his eye in his hand as Dorothy slaps the Cowardly Lion across the nose, the audio surreal in context.

"Storytime!" Tony chirps, his voice a bit cracked. He climbs over the back of the couch to fix himself a stiff drink, and gets out a second glass at Phil's meaningful gesture. Clint cringes a bit.

"Lemme wash this off and put it back and I'll tell you."

"Fair enough." Tony passes a cool glass to Phil, and sets himself up as bartender because Bruce is giving him that look that means he could really use some chamomile tea and doesn't want to ask for it, and Thor and Natasha don't hesitate to demand their respective poisons of choice while he's up anyway.

"So tell us of your eyes, friend Hawk." And bless Thor's heart, he just looks curious. Then again, his own father is supposed to have traded one of his eyes for knowledge.

Clint is settling in next to Phil again, eye back in place. "Uh… well. So I'm not sure if it's magic or alien gengineering or what. Nobody's been able to tell me." Thor nods sagely, and Clint tells him the story of the creature in the dark. Tony shivers, but brings everyone their beverage and a Coke for Clint because he likes caffeine better than booze.

Bruce finally speaks, handleless mug cradled in his palms. "How many sets are there?"

And Phil has to laugh, putting an arm around Clint as they answer their resident scientists' barrage of questions.

I read the prompt, and I really wasn't sure what to expect from a fill. But this, this is beautiful and poetic, and I loved it.

The "It's a strange story, about a lonely boy born without eyes, who befriended something uncanny in the dark places other children were afraid to go." sentence got me more than anything. A story about someone who can take out his eyeballs and exchange them for others shouldn't be this poetic and beautiful, but you managed to pull it off. Everyone was perfect, from Phil's open-mindedness over Clint being used to people having issues with what was essentially an everyday action for him, to Thor seeing it as the most normal thing in the world, even if it may perhaps come with a price. Thank you for writing this.

This... is... AWESOME!

Also, I am now aware of the existence of the word "gengineering". I shall endeavour to make it part of my vocabulary.
