Why This Must Be Read: There are a number of theories about how Clint's too-perfect MCU family might be fake, but this may be one of my favorites. It's a detailed and deeply thought-through consideration of relationships, mental health, dealing with trauma, personal agency and responsibility-and what the PASIV dreamsharing technology from "Inception" might mean to some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they deal with magic and monsters and things they were never trained for. (There's also a good deal of Natasha and very small doses of Bobbi and Barney, which are rarely bad things.)
