two natasha/clint fics

[sunny-serenity.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Avengers (2012)
Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton (Black Widow/Hawkeye)
Fic Title: Right Where I Used To Be
Author: sugar_fey
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): R (but it's really more pg15... ratings confuse me.)
Genre: UST
WIP?: No (but it should be)

Why This Must Be Read: HELLO excellently toned UST on Natasha's twenty-first birthday complete with PERFECT levels of understanding going hand in hand with under developed emotional gauges from these extremely talented yet stunted idiots. Full of awareness that this means something different, something more than what they're allowed if they weren't killers relying on subterfuge and deception. Gah. Just. Yes. Great with delivery and fraught with palatable tension.

Fandom Category: Avengers (2012)
Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton (Black Widow/Hawkeye)
Fic Title: Indebted
Author: sablier_bloque
Link: ao3
Rating/Warning(s): M; LOTS of trigger warnings. Straight from the author: There are mentions of underage rape, and there is a scene where an underaged Natasha uses a sexual act for an ulterior motive, but there is no underage sex between Clint and Natasha. Also warnings for graphic violence, sex, and language.
Genre: Angst/Violence
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This one is brutal. It can be a difficult read, but goddamn this girl is a survivor and fighter. Seeing Natasha through Clint's POV and how her background is simultaneously abrupt and haltingly revealed to him balances ever so carefully throughout serving as a prelude of sorts to the trust we see already built up in the movie. Clint is probably the first person that ever ACTUALLY protected her from others and herself. Just, JFC these kids!
