Meme answers, part I

[sandy79]

why yes, it is!! XD For the meme, I give you the answer I just wrote for daria over on DW, who asked for the same fandom (hope that's okay)

- my favorite female character

Natasha, ever since her first appearance in "Iron Man 2", she's the ultimate badass woman in the MCU, but I wish they would finally show us a bit more about her past in the Red Room beside the flashback scenes we got in "Age Of Ultron" (or finally solve the mystery about the Budapest mission ;) )

- my favorite male character

Ever since I saw "The Avengers" back a few years, Clint Barton (as I seem to continue my apparent "thing" for archers XD), but recently, he's got to make some room for the man with the most tragic story in the MCU ever - James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes. Can't really explain why he never showed up on my radar before, but now he's here, and I like to think he's gonna stay.

- my otp

Het: Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff, from "The Avengers" on. And while I also love Clint & Laura's interactions in "Age Of Ultron", I slightly prefer our two spies together (but there's a wonderful ongoing collection of stories with a triad of Clint, Laura & Tash on AO3)

Slash: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes. These two were skirting my reading premises for some time, but like with Bucky himself, they only made it into the yard recently, so to speak. And while I read pretty much everything with these two, I slightly prefer AUs (something that's going on across all my fandoms).

- my ot3

Again, a two-way answer ;)

a) Clint/Laura/Natasha - mostly for the reason that we get to see Natasha letting her guard down a bit whenever she's on the Barton farm, but also because you would expect some jealousy or rivalry between the two women, but you get some wonderful conversations as well as some steamy make-out scenes.

b) Clint/Bucky/Natasha - I know, a bit surprising considering my slash OTP, but there's a collection on AO3 where Clint and Tash already live together (Clint is a delicious mixture of the MCU Clint and the guy from the comics), then they meet Bucky, and voilà, a very funny, and very sexy threesome is the result.

- my rare pair

Bucky/Natasha: Given their history (at some point, they apparently met in the Red Room), it's one of the most interesting pairings out there. Can they start again, or is their violent shared past too much to handle? And does Bucky even remember her, at all? (in the comics, they were a couple at some point)

I love Natasha and Clint too! Him having a family always seemed a little off to me.. I've always liked these two together.
