Clint and Natasha, Hawkeye & Black Widow – Why do they fight? What do they argue about? How often? How do they go about it? Do they yell? Throw things? Work it out on the sparring mat? Give each other the silent treatment? How do they argue differently when they’re being Clint and Natasha as opposed to Hawkeye and Black Widow? How do they resolve their issues? Does one person always have to give in or do they compromise? Which one of them has a temper (or do they both)? Can others tell when these two are fighting or are they private about? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

The bottom line is that partners have conflicts. I’m using the word “conflict” as opposed to “argue” or “fight” because the question here is what shape those conflicts take – are they arguments and/or fights? Are they heated? Are they quick and then done?

Here’s another angle to consider – if in your personal headcanon these two are romantically involved, how do conflicts that come from one arena, i.e. Clint just won’t put the seat down, affect the other arena, i.e. now that they’re on a mission, does Black Widow even think about that stupid toilet seat? Or if Hawkeye takes out the last terrorist, the one that Black Widow already claimed, thank you very much, does Natasha take it out on Clint when they get home? Even if there is no romance and the two are platonic best friends, how do these things translate?

SO MANY FEELS!!! So give us your thoughts, your recs, your drabbles, your fics. Conflicts and conflict resolution. Have it out!

A/N: We’re so sorry for the delay! The chapter we’d originally outlined here turned out to be completely the Wrong Plan; thus, we had to wait until the bright light of inspiration shone down on us. (Or maybe it was the haze of rum.) Anyhoo, here it goes. Better sit down. :)
