[FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [13/?] anonymous June 6 2012, 02:58:39 UTC

A/N: So I said this already in the comment above *points up* but, again, thank you everybody for all the wonderful encouragement. <3 I'm having far too much fun with this. Hoping some of you are still interested!The following morning, there's an buzz in the air throughout the mansion that Clint can't quite define. He can't even really remember why anything might be different, until he stumbles into the kitchen for breakfast and finds Thor meticulously arranging slices of pickles into a smiley face on top of some ice cream. He's wearing Pepper's French Maid apron (a gift from Tony which she has flat-out refused to ever wear, at least for actual culinary purposes) and an expression of deep concentration, the tip of his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth ( ... )

...I don't know if I should laugh or hope for Thor's safety in the future.

But the smiley face ice cream is adorable.

But either way it is beautiful.

The fic, not the pickles and ice cream.

Behind the Cornflakes box, Bruce has collapsed into a fit of giggles. Steve looks torn between his panic and the desire to do likewise. Tony has buried his face in his hands ( ... )

Ahh, the Sleipner story.

*giggles*

This is so adorable.

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [14/?] anonymous June 6 2012, 15:27:05 UTC

There just had to be a Sleipnir reference in there somewhere. (I think it was the first thing I wrote in my head!)

Thank you! <3

A/N: I'm probably being over-cautious with trigger warnings here, but I'd rather be over-cautious than under-cautious, so: warning for implied past suicidal thoughts and depression, and vague non-graphic references to past abuse and miscarriage.“So,” says Clint when only he and Natasha are left hovering aimlessly in the kitchen, “that... was a thing that happened ( ... )

Oh god Ow. I sctually started laughing so hard at Thor that I bashed my head into the coffee table.
And then, the mood whiplash.

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 15:03:29 UTC

*offers ice pack* I'd apologise for your head, but really I'm just proud to have made you laugh that much!

Yep, this fic definitely isn't getting any less mood whiplashy. Apparently it's the only way I know how to write.

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 10:15:04 UTC

So keen for more!

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 15:04:10 UTC

:D There'll certainly be some more.

*inner shipper thoughts* Just tell her how you feel, Clint, God!

Seriously though, what I really like about this is how the exact nature of Clint and Natasha's relationship is open to interpretation. Like in the movie, there's obviously a lot of love there, but it can be romantic or platonic. Except for That One Time In Budapest, which I demand to know more about!

And Thor, OMG, THOR!!!!!! *dies laughing*

I look forward to reading more!

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 15:18:06 UTC

I share your inner shipper thoughts! I mean, in general I absolutely adore both Clint/Natasha OTP and brOTP, and can't seem to decide whether I prefer them romantically or platonically. The prompt called for the latter so that's what I've aimed for here, but you're absolutely right, it's open to interpretation. I think That One Time In Budapest shall remain unspoken of, though, for much the same reason - it can be as shippy as your brain decides.

I am seriously having far, far too much fun with Thor - can you tell? XD

Thank you so much. <3

Oh, Thor. He's not a rocket scientist, but he's not dumb, and he is intrinsically sweet. *hugs him*
*hugs Bruce for the saltines and the follow-through as a doctor-type*
*hugs poor traumatized Steve while giggling*
*does not hug Tony, but smacks him, which he'll take the same way anyway*

... *hugs Clint for being so damn decent and supportive and concerned*

*hugs Natasha 'cause she needs it even if she'd break my arms*

Also, fwiw, I'm guessing you're a Brit by the exclamations-- which amuse the heck out of me, but, "oi" and "bloody hell" aren't heard so much on this side of the pond. Otherwise, I'd never guess, so don't let the observation slow you down. (And if I'm wrong, I'll just shush.)

Morrrre please!

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 15:24:37 UTC

ALL THE HUGS! \o/

I am indeed British, you're absolutely right. I was being pretty careful with the Britisms (spelling aside, because if I tried to write without Us I'd have a nervous breakdown) but evidently a few slipped in there anyway (well spotted!), whoops. That's what I get for writing mostly in the middle of the night! Certainly if (if!) this ever gets finished and archived anywhere I'll ask an American beta to go through and clean it up for me first.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it anyway, thank you! There should definitely be so more. :D

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] beanarie June 6 2012, 16:33:32 UTC

I am loving, LOVING this story. Natasha and Clint (and everyone else, but especially those two) feel completely in-character and their interactions and complexities make me so happy.

And oh my God the Sleipnir conversation was priceless. If I weren't in the office right now, I'd be making some really embarrassing noises.

Re: [FILL] Natasha, Clint and team, gen - pregnancy [15/?] [mentions of past suicidal thoughts] anonymous June 6 2012, 17:07:41 UTC

asdfsdasghjgfadhjfdhjsdfjhgashd oh wow, thank you so much! I am so, so happy that you feel Natasha and Clint are in-character - everyone else is mostly there for comic relief at the moment (so may well be somewhat Flanderised, though I'm thrilled that you think they're IC too), but I was really nervous about getting Nat and Clint right. Seriously, thank you! <3

To be honest, the entire reason I gave in and started writing this in the first place was that I just really, really wanted to write the Sleipnir conversation. I'm glad you enjoyed it, so long as it doesn't get you into trouble at work!

(Also, your icon is weirdly adorable.)
