FIC: The Skies Over Manhattan (Chapter 2/?)  
Title:  The Skies Over Manhattan -- Chapter 2:  "Penthouse"
Rating:  PG-13
Warnings:  Discussion of the death of a friend (let me know if you think there should be others; I think this one is pretty harmless but I can be kind of insensitive at times).  Oh yes -- Armani.  
Pairing:  Clint/Natasha
Word Count:  7,500 (app)
Disclaimer:  All I own is an Avengers BlueRay, a couple of posters and a Hawkeye action figure
Summary:  Two master assassins, a demi-god, a super soldier, a man with breathtaking anger management issues and a billionaire in a flying suit. They're supposed to be on the same team.  A series of post-New York vignettes.
Author's Notes  I'm rather late in getting this up – a perfect storm of RL, obligations to another fandom, and competing plot bunnies. But here it finally is: another slice of life of ‘New York in the aftermath’. In case bits of this sound familiar to some of you, a short excerpt (in an earlier iteration) was posted right here, in the Best Bar On Earth.  Thanks to Runawaymetaphor for her usual candour in administering the “does it suck” test, and to the incomparabl [livejournal.com profile] shenshen77 or her eagle eye in spotting stuff I might never have seen. They made this chapter better; all remaining flaws are mine.

I'll try and post it to my LJ page but have been having "size issues" there; best to look it up here:

Also, there should be a tag for "Clint in Armani."  Just saying.

No need to blush. You deserve all the kudos. And 'yes' to Armani as a solution. Admittedly, for me it's more of a problem ... ;-)

Yes, definitely with you on the Armani problem ;) Clint (or Renner) in a tux, like that little Dior number from the Golden Globes... yummy ;)

Actually, my "Armani problem" is a lot more personal than that. As in, my credit card emits tiny little shrieks when I mention the name ...

But YES on the Dior number.
