SO CUTE!

I LOVE Coulson. Love him. He's so fun.

Thank you! Coulson is rapidly becoming my favorite, too.

I LOVE what you did with this! Great job with Coulson, I think you got him spot on.

Fluff that turned into feels!

I had to chuckle at the bit with Clint having a tell that the higher-ups haven't told him about. And you know Natasha won't tell him either!

ETA -- I had to look up Kinder Eggs since I hadn't heard of them before -- and now I want some!

I WILL BRING YOU SOME BACK FROM MY TRIP! They are like craaaaack. Seriously, I go to Germany and the first thing I buy is Kinder Eggs. We can get other types of Kinder chocolate here at World Market, but not Kinder Eggs. Grrrrr.

heheeh, thank you for the comment, by the way! I know I took some liberties with your prompt, but I wasn't feeling the Clint/Natasha love earlier. And poor Clint. He's an excellent marksman, a loyal partner, a brilliant tactician, but he's crap at undercover work. :)

From what I read about the eggs, they're banned here in the states because of the toys. Will it count as smuggling?

Probably, but I view Han Solo as a role model anyway. *rubs hands together*

THIS IS SOOOOO CUTE!!! And Kinder Eggs, seriously??? I was addicted to them! Just the toys though, I always gave the chocolate away, as unfortunately I'm allergic to that particular kind (Damn you, allergies!!) :(

Coulson is adorable in his stoic civil servant way, spot on! I love Coulson, that's why I also gave him a role in my story :D

And I love Clint/Natasha in the background, Clint being oblivious of his tell is just too sweet. He really is all those things, excellent marksman, loyal partner, brilliant tactician; but close-up undercover work, not his forte ;)

When I went to Munich in 2005, I got SO addicted to Kinder Eggs. Like, it wasn't even funny. Those things are freakishly good and I may have a permanent frowny face on your behalf for being allergic to the chocolate. But you can't get them over here! One of my commenters on AO3 has pointed out they're illegal in the States, which is I guess why. I can get other Kinder chocolate (and sometimes do, but I prefer...Leibnitz cookies? I may be spelling that wrong), but no eggs, which makes me sad.

I really, really hope Vienna has Kinder Eggs.

Coulson is a lot of fun to write. I had no idea it was this fun to put a story in his perspective until I wrote this. crazy4orcas originally gave me the prompt as Clint finding chocolates for Natasha, but I twisted it for the actual story because I'm crazy that way. :)

You know, there's a strong possibility that Clint set Natasha up... ;)

shenshen77 January 31 2013, 15:47:41 UTC

I can totally understand getting addicted to them! I used to eat them too, until I started scratching myself bloody *frown to end all frowns*! Yeah, they are illegal because of the little tiny swallowable parts. In Germany they only put "Not for children under the age of 3" on it and that's that, but then we also don't need to be reminded that live animals are not to be put in the microwave ;) Oh, Leibnitz cookies, with the dark chocolate cover... Kill me now, I love those :D

And Vienna surely will have Kinder Eggs!

I loved writing Coulson as well, he's awesome when written with that deadpan dry humor! You should definitely write more of him :D

Ohhhh, that sly little devil ;) But that's exactly why I love him so much ;) Even just the possibility, because he is great at being unassuming, hiding in plain sight... Yep, I can see that ;)

My friends that are traveling with me might get a little perturbed when the first thing I do is head for the airport shop. "EIER!"

Well, at least they speak German.

I will definitely write more Coulson. He's the ice-skating coach in the AU I've got kicking around. However, I think I'm switching fandoms for February and finishing out a couple of my in-progress stories. That way, I can stop feeling guilty. :)

And I'll never tell, with Clint. Muhahah.
