I love that they don't have a perfect relationship - it makes them even more perfect together! And oh, will Darcy ever be annoyed when she finds out she's gone from semi-normal superheroes to kids (and co-workers) with boatloads of mutant issues! So much for a normal job....

It's also what makes them a crap-tonne of fun to write. I loves me my Clois but sometimes their functionality drives me crazy with envy. Besides, people like Clint (and my head!canon!Darcy) are not meant for fully functional relationships, romantic or otherwise.

Darcy set upon the X-Men's world makes me stay up at night & giggle.

I think she'd whip mutant teenagers into shape with such speed, skill, and joie de vivre that it wouldn't MATTER that Mistress of Internet Fu is her only mutant power. :D And Wolverine would find that very, very hot.

SAM IS SAM GUTHRIE YOU NEVER MENTIONED THIS I WAS NOT PREPARED AND DARCY TOTALLY DOESN'T REALIZE WHAT SHE'S GETTING IN TO WITH XAVIER'S DPES SHE AND YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Also. Alsoalsoalso THESE TWO.

The dick-measuring contest with Sam and Clint and OH SWEET MURPHY of COURSE he pulls out an arrow and does the whole passive aggressive manly-man stuff. Poor Sam.

"...and sometimes I need that to... it's like... shit, if I have to quote Ryan Fucking Gosling, we really will end this."
The fact that Clint knows he's on the verge of quoting Ryan Gosling amuses me far more than is healthy. And I love him for it.

Use of sex to induce Clint's realization that he's a decent dude? At least until he starts looking at the price of bus tickets to Fuckupistan? ILU DARCY ( ... )

NGL, I was giggling to myself when I wrote "Dilated Eyes" & dropped Sam in there. Granted, I didn't think it would spawn another fic but HEEEEEEE! Darcy organizing the X-Folks. You know they'd Get Shit Done now. She has DATABASES of DOOOOOOOOOM.

Clint is confident enough in his sexuality to watch Ryan Gosling movies where Ryan Gosling is a romantic lead. He even enjoys some of them Lars & The Real Girl is one of his faves (although The Notebook strikes a chord he didn't even know he had & he'll never watch it again but if anyone asks, it's because it's too damn sappy).

CLINT HAS A CARGO SHIP OF ISSUUUUUUUUUUUUES! But one can argue Darcy has some of her own, namely the fact that her first instinct is to bolt the minute something might go pear-shaped maybe if you squint & also drink 151. Darcy kind-of-sort-of admitting that she's crazy enough about Clint to stay & make it work, & also acknowledge that she trusts Clint to make it work with her is pretty major. So, y'know, mutual calling-out of shit is mutual? Also, LAST CALL FOR ( ... )

I honestly did not call it in "Dilated Eyes", actually. This was a pleasant surprise, mainly because I have such a soft little spot for Sam. But really, every single person with an X should be trembling in fear. They are about to meet the only person who loves databases as much as or more than Scott. FEEEEEEEEEEEEAR ( ... )

Oh God, Scott & Darcy would get along like FIRE. Like ALL THE FIRE. I'm already trembling in fear.

Darcy's flash-bang intensity is what attracts Clint, I think. He controls himself so much & is surrounded by a lot of people who do the same that Darcy's frankness (I think that's the word I'm looking for) is almost a relief? Or a tall glass of cool water? Similarly, Clint's banked fire is fascinating to Darcy. It's not so much his control as it is the knowledge that he has ALL THE FEELS but he keeps it close to the chest. Darcy doesn't know how to do this & feels very privileged when Clint loses control for(?) her.

The populaiton of Fuckupistan is in constant flux. Some people only visit. Some can never leave Tony Stark Remy Lebeau Emma Frost. *face-melting guitar solo*

I'm thinking Darcy, too. She's cruel like that. Jane just feeds the addiction.
