Type: Completed
Word Count: 1,320
Summary: Everyone starts somewhere. Everyone has a beginning. Everyone is made up of their experiences. Everyone wakes up. Part of "The Weight of Us": the moments leading up to "Shot in the Dark".

Author's Notes:
Many many thanks to kadollan for the beta on the final version of this thing, and thanks to lar_laughs, SidheRa, and anuna_81 for looking over earlier versions of this material.

This is complete, I'm posting two chapters a day.

RE: WARNINGS - PLEASE READ: These are moments from Clint and Natasha's past, the early memories (or lack there-of) that lead up to Shot in the Dark. As you can imagine, bad things happened. Nothing is terribly graphic (no more graphic than things that happened in Shot in the Dark, anyway, I don't think) - but please use your best judgement when reading. If you have any questions about the warnings, please leave me a comment or shoot me an email (I'm cybermathwitch(at)gmail(dot)com) and I'll do my best to answer them.

Warnings are specific to the chapter they're listed on, and while each chapter is a piece of the puzzle, there's not a linear narrative, so each chapter makes sense on it's own if you feel you need or want to skip one.

As always, many thanks to kadollan, anuna_81, and sweetwatersong for the beta work and support. :)

Technically, Chapter 10 takes place the same day as Chapter 9, leading up to the conversation/planning session that Bobbi, Phil, and Maria have at the end of that chapter. (The interlude takes place a few years before the events in the main story.) Apologies for the dodgy order of things.
