title: the red thread, part one (natasha)
tandom: the avengers
pairing: clint/natasha
rating: explicit
genre: romance, drama, introspection. dark-ish and playing with symbolism.
timeframe: set before the avengers (2012), and also before iron man2 and thor.
series: this is part of the same universe as unwrapped/unwrapping, and it's going to be a series.
warnings: see the rating. Also, vague references of physical violence and assassins being assassins.
disclaimer: I don't won them, they own me.
author's note: i don't even know how to explain this one? it started as one of the discussions between
cybermathwitch and me, and turned into another instance of overlapping headcanons and then a challenge between two of us – for each part i come up with, she will provide the POV of other person. the symbols we're playing with here are, obviously, color red (red hair, red thread), the tale of ariadne from greek mythology (who was a mistress of minotaur's maze, and gave theseus a golden thread so he could find his way out of it). also, if i may suggest music to go with this? una musica brutal and vuelvo al sur by gotan project (because tango is a perfect metaphor for this story and two of them and their dynamic, the power shifts, the trust – besides, tango constantly changes rhythm, just like a maze changes it's appearance, but it also has a distinct pattern and structure, and clint is all about noticing things like patterns).
(also! we may have figured out clint's superpower – being able to read natasha like an open book.)
Read it here. comments, thoughts, questions are always welcome. :)
