Warnings: Spoilers for the Avengers movie; not really spoilers, just vague nods at stuff that happened. Some PTSD in this chapter.
Summary: After defeating Loki with the Avengers, Clint and Natasha spend 24 hours in a hotel suite. Together they recover from the trauma inflicted on each of them by Loki. As Clint’s memories return, he relives the various encounters with Natasha that lead them to where they are now, beginning with Agent Barton’s failed mission to kill the Black Widow in Cairo.
AN: I don't know who it was on tumblr, but I owe her a bit of head canon for this chapter. She wrote a brief conversation between Pepper and Natasha about how Hawkeye made the team watch Hitchcock films. That fits so perfectly with him, I incorporated it here. Whoever you are, thanks for that.

In this chapter, Hawkeye remembers a time when Coulson saved his ass.

Sorry to bother everybody, but did someone just post an anonymous prompt to the promptathon? Those automatically get screened and then I have to unscreen them, but I think I may have hit the wrong button and deleted it instead. Would whoever posted the prompt mind posting it again? I can't quite remember it well enough to repost it myself.

So sorry! Promise I will hit the right button next time.  O_o

(And hey, this goes for everybody, if you don't see something you've posted at the promptathon or on the master post or I've just dropped the ball, please feel free to holler at me. That's what I'm here for, m'kay?)

And now for your trouble I give you this:

The exact specifics of that show — title, focus, cast of characters — are entirely under wraps, though it's been said that it could be "a high-concept cop show," leading many to believe that it's a S.H.I.E.L.D. focused television series.

Eeeenteresting, no? While this is to be taken with a grain of salt for now, it still opens up all kinds of spec.

What think y'all? Got any more news to share?
