Type Of Gift: Fic
Title: Slender Threads And Things To Treasure
A Gift For: gsparkle
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Vague references to Clint’s canonical unhappy childhood.
Summary: In which Clint is a lifeguard, Natasha has a mishap, and fate might deserve more credit than it gets.
Author's Note: More comics than MCU, Kate and Lucky are there too, and my writing style does some odd somersaults. Written to fit your request for a non-office mundane AU and for the prompt “The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.” (Karen Blixen)

Author's Note: Many thanks to kiss_me_cassie for stellar beta, and to inkvoices for the invaluable input! All remaining mistakes are mine.
Credits: Don't Go To Strangers, as sung by Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller (the studio version), is four minutes of perfection and it provided me with endless inspiration for this story.
Merry Christmas, dear crazy4orcas! I hope you enjoy it!
