Fic: The Woman in the Crosshairs  
Title: The Woman in the Crosshairs
Author/Artist: [livejournal.com profile] frea_o
Pairing: Clint/Natasha (if you squint), Thor/Jane, Darcy/OMC
Rating: PG-13 for some language and a little violence
Warnings: Mentions of abuse, and mind control
Spoilers: All the movies, I guess, plus the Iron Man 3 trailer, sort of.
Type: Really long one-shot, complete
Word Count: 12,182 words
Summary: In which Clint has a new hobby and Natasha isn't curious, until she is. Black Widow and Hawkeye, their partnership—and what it means—throughout the years.

This is my first attempt to try writing overt Clint/Natasha romance, and of course it ran over 10,000 words as I tried to fit everything in. People have assured me it’s sweet and funny. It covers from beginning days of SHIELD to about a year after the Chitauri attack. Natasha tries to come to terms with everything. Sometimes she's even successful!

You might want to try avoiding the implication that people who have difficulty with emotions are machines and/or aliens. It's an implication often used to emotionally manipulate, abuse, and oppress people with developmental disorders like autism (which I have).

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that Natasha is an alien or a robot, and I really am sorry if it came across that way. I'll remove the word "spacetoaster" from the warning. I genuinely hadn't realized that the word could be used that way.

Thank you; I know implications aren't always obvious, so I appreciate it :).
