Thanks: You guys, themonkeytwin is the most amazing beta. Let's just all be very clear about that. Also, thanks to anillogicalmind, and a happy birthday dedication to anuna_81, because she's been one of the biggest cheerleaders for this stupidly slow series and I love her for it :)

Summary: It's a masochistic rite that insists on being observed. So he sings, and he remembers.
A/N: This is the slowest-written fic in the history of the interwebs. It's also a crazy, angsty, AU crack!fic, where Clint is a boozed-up country/folk musician running from a past that includes Natasha. Running to a future that includes her too? ... Time will tell.
