Darling, it was my genuine pleasure to share thoughts about this fic with you! Your action writing is fantastic - I'm green with envy! - and your characters are well-developed and balanced. Can't wait to read more of this verse.

Thanks so much, sweetie! I love writing and reading action and I'm so glad you like what I cooked up here :) *hugs*

I guess I really do need to see Bourne Legacy. I said that earlier to anuna_81 about Hansel and Gretel too. Maybe I just need to have a Renner Movie Marathon?!

Great action in this! I know this was more action and hurt/comfort for Aaron and Marta, but my favorite parts were the Clint/Natasha ones. And this: He felt Natasha’s presence before she actually touched him, so attuned was he to her energy. just hit me in my Clint/Natasha feels.

And I LOVE that you've made Natasha capable of giving comfort to Marta as well as Clint. Too many fics have her so emotionally stunted and cut off.

Do you have more planned for this verse?

[shenshen77]

Woman, you need to see both those films and I'd totally join you for a Renner Movie Marathon! In fact, I'm planning to have one during my vacation with my SPN friend ;)

Thanks, darling! I love the Clint/Natasha parts and especially that one you mentioned.

One of my favorite parts to write was Natasha comforting Clint, to be honest. Just quietly being there for him, reassuring him. That's how I see them, doing that for each other. And there's nothing in the movie for me that suggests that she's emotionally stunted to that degree, she is just trained not to show her emotions. And her comforting Marta is just natural for her as well, she is family after all :)

Thanks for asking, and yes, I do have more planned in this verse :) As a matter of fact, I'm writing some Aaron/Marta set in this verse at the moment.

Great action writing -- and family feels, too! Nicely done.

And now for brother #4, the one in Iraq ...? ;-)

[shenshen77]

Thanks, love :) I'm glad you like it, I thought I'd try something new there with the action and especially the family feels :)

Brother #4???? Oh god, don't start me on my Will feels again! My friend venitinmentem wrote some wonderful Will James/OFC fic that I had the pleasure of beta'ing. And I think I won't be able to write him like she does. If you need a smoking hot Will-fix, check out her fic "Bad Medicine". It is awesome!

Thanks - would love to read it on your rec alone, but I clicked on it and it carried a graphic violence/rape tag (not to mention major character death) so unless you tell me it's safe I'll have to pass ... (You know, read about too much of that stuff "live" to enjoy it in my recreational reading) :-(

And YES to touchscreen Hansel. I'll touch hin for you ... :-)

[shenshen77]

The tags are really more precautionary. There is an attempted rape in chapter two, which leads to a brawl. There's a little rough play between the main characters, but nothing dub con or non con at all. The major character death is implied, but nothing graphic is shown, but all in all, these are complicate people with lots of issues attempting something like a relationship, falling more and more for each other. Their coping mechanisms are weird and may be triggering, yes (they are both adrenaline junkies and the girl used to be a cutter). And I totally understand if you don't want to spend your recreational reading reading about weird people doing weird stuff.

But please, touch all the Hansel for me ;)
