A/N: Okay I think we can all stop kidding ourselves that this is a Five Times fic. It's more like a "However Many Makeouts it Takes to Get to some Kind of Resolution (and that could get into the double digits but whatever b/c this shit is important, yo) Fic." Just so we're clear. I reserve the right to disregard structure at any time.

In this chapter…Plot happens. Emotional development happens. Betty White makes an appearance as Nat’s neighbor, Mrs. MacIntosh. We meet a bad guy. Clint gets to turn the tables for once. Oh—and there might be some kissin’. [ETA: for a full list of the various types of porn identified in this chapter, click HERE. Thanks to bob5fic for the quality research.]

So much beta love for sugar_fey  and bob5fic for the read-throughs and the encouragement. <333333333 

Warnings for ridiculous fluff and crack, as per usual. I have no excuse. It’s shippy self indulgence of the highest order. I REGRET NOTHING.
