Even though their injuries were definitely worrying, I couldn't help several 'Aw' moments while reading the chapters. Natasha is so unexpectedly soft here, and gentle - not in the sense that she's weak, but that she's caring and careful and that it's not an effort for her to be that way. I think that impression is also helped by the fact that she doesn't have to fight off any bears or anything else possible when you throw them into the mountains, but it's a great way to read about her

Thank you sooo much for this wonderful comment, I'm beaming with joy :D

I'm so glad that you liked my Natasha. To me, this is her. She is gentle and caring once you've managed to worm your way into her heart the way Clint has. She possesses a lot of empathy and she get's scared as well (just look at the scene with the Hulk in the movie). I'm just glad that she read true to you.

And I'm really happy that was detailed enough to be gripping and believable and grounded.

I loved Clint's dopey ramblings, Anuna sharing her own experiences coming off anesthesia after major surgery made all the difference here. And I'm so glad it worked for you, after all the pain they deserved their moment of lightheartedness and belonging.

Thanks again for the wonderful comment <3

Awesome ending! Loved the description of the injuries and the cuddling and everything. And Phil, being all understanding in the background.

Awww, thank you soooo much *hugs*

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for mentioning Phil. I love him and I love writing him :D

I love that you keep trying but I'm still very far away from shipping these two. Still, I absolutely loved this fic!

[shenshen77]

Woman, I'm not trying to make you ship anything, I just want you to read my fics :D And I'M ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT YOU LOVED IT *hugs*

[venitinmentem]

Suuuure you don't... I know all about your hidden schemes, missy! *hugs*

[shenshen77]

Damn, you know me too well ;)
Have to be more circumspect next time *lol*

What a great happy ending! That entire last scene in their bed was fantastic, full of fun, warm-fuzzies and still a little sexy.

I was so glad to see Coulson come to the rescue. And she finally calls him Phil \o/. “You look like crap, Coulson,” Clint said with a loopy grin. -- lol

I liked the post-rescue drama as well, glad you didn't have the tension and worry just end with Coulson showing up.

And like sweetwatersong said, I like that Natasha is soft and gentle without being weak.

“Clint, I think it’s best if you just shut up and kiss me.” -- I agree ;)

Thanks so much for such an awesome response the prompt, I loved the whole fic, and it's going on my list of go-to fics for re-reading!

First of all, let me thank you for leaving this awesome prompt! It hit all my buttons and then some ;) I just had to write it and I'm just so happy that it turned out well and that you enjoyed it!

You can thank Anuna for making me add that last scene ;) I wasn't really happy with the way I had it end before and she suggested this. She thought they deserved a really happy ending, and I was only too happy to oblige ;)

I'm so glad you liked the rescue and post-rescue drama. I couldn't let it fade to black and voilá, Clint's all better and... no, that's cheating ;) And Coulson deserved his moment to shine, I love writing him. I also wanted this to mark a progress in his relationship with Natasha and I'm glad you liked that :D

I'm really glad that you like this Natasha, she's fierce and strong and cares deeply. Which surprised no one more than her, let me tell you that ;)

Let me thank you again for all your wonderful comments and the prompt, it was a genuine pleasure writing this <3

Awww, how awesome! I really liked reading this, even though I don't know the characters and I'm not sure if I like Natasha, but ... I read this as original fiction, not as fanfiction (because my brain only works with Sam&Dean) and it was awesome! I really love your descriptions, and I loved how you didn't say too much and not too little, but just enough to make this perfect!
And I love the ending... home! So cute!

Now go write more, because I think you totally got the hang of this writing thing! :-):-):-)
Awesome job!

How awesome, you liked it :D You don't know the characters and you still liked it *hugs*

Your comment made my day, I'm so glad it worked for you and that you think it was good and that you love the ending!

I'm already writing more, I couldn't stop now if I tried :D:D:D So glad you approve, soooooo glad *smishes you*
