FIC: War Stories (Stupid Thing in Budapest) [Avengers, Clint/Natasha]
So...apparently I co-wrote a fic? Yeah, I'm still in shock too. I have no idea how this happened, really. Had an idea while walking home after seeing The Avengers the first time (we, uh, won't go into how many times I've seen it altogether now--it's research!) and had this sudden urge to play with the oh-so-inriguing C/N Budapest banter and memories and Claira's fantastic "Stupid Thing Last Night," and well, the concept for this was born. Somehow Bee read my mind and helped me plot this baby out (doing most of the heavy lifting, I must point out--I had the easy job) and then we just ran with it (or rather, I ran with it, and Bee brought everything together again, and gorgeously, imo). Anyway. Long story short: This is a fic post! Hope a few people enjoy reading this story half as much as we enjoyed writing it.

A/N 1: The subtitle to this story is an homage to a very favorite fic of ours from BSG fandom, "Stupid Thing Last Night" by stars_like_dust. Consider this our (much inferior) Avengers version (bonus points to anyone who spots the STLN easter egg).
A/N 2: Bee here--I also want to give a major shoutout to my co-author, who came up with the most amazing material and some of the best one-liners I’ve ever seen. It was so unbelievably fun to write this with you; please say we can do it again soon! :D
And Heather here--To Bee, without whom this little story would never have come so far: Thank you. And thanks, too, for dragging me into Clint/Natasha land! It's been a blast so far; can't wait to see what's next.
What happens in Budapest doesn’t always stay in Budapest.
Read the fic over at be_compromised: To his mind Budapest was victory drinks and cool hotel sheets and Natasha, in that order....
