rating: PG
characters: Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff
warnings: mentions of violence
summary: I promise you nothing, I take only that which is free / I'd give you a life full of risk, and the whirlwind of joy that can be / Don't try to bind me, just love me without any greed / And I'll give you the world, and my heart, and the air

loved this. <3

[sweetwatersong]

*tacklehug* I'm so glad, that you liked it, and that you read it. <3 (How are you doing?)

This is gorgeous. I love your imagery.

[sweetwatersong]

Thank you! I have a typical case of "Picture? Can I give you a thousand words instead?" in terms of painting scenes, so I'm glad the imagery worked for you. :) Can I ask if there was a particular part you liked best, or if it was just the overall feel?

[helikedmyshoes]

I love the feel overall and the tone, and your gorgeous writing. I love Natasha asking why she would give Clint up when she has him right where she wants him, and the image of the hawk on the fortune teller's cards and her words gave me the shivers. Great work.

[sweetwatersong]

Thank you very much; this just made my whole day. :) I hope you have a wonderful one in return!

[emeraldarrows]

This is wonderful. <3

[sweetwatersong]

Thank you very much! :) This may or may not have been sitting on my hard-drive for a while before I came across it again, mostly because I wasn't sure if it would work. So I'm glad you liked it!

I love the tone of this. Beautiful.

[sweetwatersong]

This story knew from the start what kind of format and tone it was going to have; all I had to do was fill in the details. Thank you for reading. :)

I've loved that song for years, and when I got into this fandom and heard that song again I nearly wailed, "I love Robin Hood, I've been a Robin Hood fan since childhood, this song is about Robin Hood, I can't turn it into a Clintasha song just like that!" But I still did, because it's not like I can control that. ^_^ I'm so glad you took it to fanfiction level!

[sweetwatersong]

Did she actually write it about Robin Hood? I never know where Heather takes her inspirations from (unless it's really obvious), but I can believe it. :) And thank you; Clintasha is definitely like that.

[amanuensis1]

I actually saw her perform it live and she introduced it by saying (paraphrasing), "I've always loved Robin Hood, but I really love Maid Marian, because I asked myself, who would be willing to give up everything to be with this wanderer rebel? I mean, that really takes guts, to go with that love at the cost of every material thing you've held."

[sweetwatersong]

(Terribly, terribly late reply, I apologize!) I am insanely jealous that you had the chance to watch her perform; does she do concerts, or was this a different kind of event? And those are very good questions to ask; I've really never thought of it that way.
