[Avengers fic: love is for children and other lies]
Title: love is for children and other lies
Fandom: The Avengers (MCU)
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 30,205
Summary: Natalia Alianovna Romanova, and everything that she became.
Notes: Featuring as it does a protagonist on the asexual spectrum, this is definitely not the porn you're looking for. That said, it still dwells firmly in the Clint/Natasha camp. I should also mention that this is a movieverse fic, so comic book canon was either roundly ignored or ransacked for the occasional neat idea like 'ballet'.
Section headings come from all over the place; it's either from a poem, a song lyric, or I made it up.
Enormous thanks to Del and Kelsey and Imry for reading bits and cheering me on, and to Pennifer for her excellent beta skills.
( War is the child's emptiness, the surrender of identity, the transformation into a simple system: purpose goes in, action comes out. )
