This is really wonderful. I think what I love best is that even though Clint is dealing with so much, he has so much empathy and understanding of others. And of course the combination of angst and humor is great too. Fave lines:

At least he hasn't tried to kill Tony or Bruce.)

Clint needs reminding sometimes that he's not the only one who's lost his world.

"He wants us to be part of his team," she says. "He wants us to leave SHIELD. Move into Tony's giant architectural dick." "Well, when you say it like that, how could you say no?"

"I just don't know how much of that was SHIELD, how much is you, and how much was Coulson."

"I think maybe Tony needs a lot of people to be around him to not feel alone."

Clint’s pretty sure that Tony doesn't know that there are some people who just can’t be saved.

Clint had kept an eye on everyone’s drink intake over dinner by force of habit, and had noticed Bruce doing the same.
