Hello folks, I am apologizing for (relative) lateness of this post – I had a long day and writing this thing required some thinking and concentration on my part. Our topic today is something we often mention here – headcanons. My first post to this comm (as I recall, very fondly) was a question about Clint's canon background, and I remember, very clearly, a lovely bunch of people giving me very kind answers that there are, in fact, different canons in comics, that we don't know a lot about MCU Clint and that I'm free to pick what I like and run with it, because it's completely cool. It proved to be true, also this comm proved to accept different approaches to our favorite characters, and that people here are very open to various interpretations of Clint and Natasha and the nature of our relationship. As a new fan and new fic writer (for this couple) I didn't have a detailed, exact ideas about who Clint and Nat are, and what they're like. Just that they were awesome and badass and had incredible chemistry and wanted to know more about them. The people who taught me are – all of you.
