So, hi, this is OP. *grins at you*

Oh man, this gets even better on every reread. Clint and his tub still absolutely kill me. And Clint's tell is kind of even more painful when you know to look at it, which is interesting, b/c it kind of mirrors what I imagine Phil and Natasha feel.

Oh man, so so so good. I am pretty much your devoted fan for life.

Thank you again! *grins back* Nice to finally meet you, lol. Just remember, this would never have happened without you. So thank you for prompting this in the first place, in addition to all the awesome praise and encouragement. "It's all on you." At least in this sense that's a good thing.

Hey, so, I've friended you so that I can keep tabs on your brilliance. PLEASE do not feel the need to friend back--I actually only post fandom-related stuffs openly on my journal, and I'm super multi-fannish, so I don't consider it to be of interest to most people.

You have no idea what a gift this, YOU, were/are. This has been a rough month for a number of reasons, I'm in a huge amount of limbo, and this has been one of those things that's allowed me to cling and stabilize. There aren't enough thank yous.

This is even better the fourth time around. I already flailed at you on the meme, but to reiterate: this story is brilliant. It's honest, and painful, and so well-written. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This time through, this was my favorite part:

They're only a foot apart. Clint could reach out with an arm and give Phil what he wants. But that's not what Phil wants. It's confusing.

Ug, thank you. People keep saying 'it's still awesome on the third/fourth read' and that just blows me away. Just, thank you. It means a lot.

This hurts, in so many ways, all I can do is go for the cliche and pipe up 'right in the feels'.

Its written perfect, and that's what makes it hurt so much. Thank you for not ending it with some little cliche flair of clint suddenly being happy. As nice as that would have been, this is the truth.

[calliste_dawn]

Thank you.

This was incredibly well done, painful and true. I loved your Natasha, and steadfast Phil, and the snippets we got of the others. The insights into Clint were heartbreaking, and yet I leave with hope. Thank you so much for writing this.

Thank you for the review!
