ATTF: The Ex-Factor
Dearest and most beloved of Bars!
First things first: IT'S FRIDAY!!! *ahem*
Today, I thought, we could talk about things that might have happened before our great ship yacht sailed, and how/whether/if the existence of previous partners might feature in the lives of our favourite assassins, and how.
We know from comics canon (possibly, but not definitively modified in the MCU by Agents of SHIELD) that Clint was married to Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird. How does he react when they run into each other at SHIELD? How do they get along? Would she and Natasha be friends? ("So Bobbi tells me that I should just give up now on you ever putting the cap back on the toothpaste. Lost cause, she says." "When did you talk to her?? You guys doing some kind of all-girl conspiracy thing??" "She also says you like to be scratched behind the ear, like a cat." "That's total bullshit. She's having you ... hmmmm... do that again?")
We also understand from comics canon that Natasha and The Winter Soldier may, at some point, been together. What was that like? How, if true, would it impact on Steve's search, and Natasha's willingness to help, beyond handing him the file with a warning? Would Clint be nervous what might happen when Barnes turns up?
Then, there are of course other options. My burgeoning head canon has Clint having had a fling with Melinda May at some point (strictly friends with benefits, although igrockspock turned that into a former marriage, in her wonderful story Two Truths and One Lie.) We know May has Nat on speed dial, so what do they text each other about that won't pass the Bechdel test??
Give us your head canons, meta, recs, ficlets, snippets ... And remember:
Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
