Calling all recs! (fic, art and otherwise)  
I've been meaning to make a rec post and several others have had the same ideas, so let's put them all in the same post! Share the coolest works you have come across lately. Be sure to include why it's so awesome, all necessary warnings, and links.

Here are my recent favs:

Oxycodone Days by Naja Melanoleuca. This is an almost frighteningly realistic take on the relationship and psychology of our two favorite assassins. The author does not include warnings, so be aware that it is fairly dark, includes past mentions of child abuse (physical and sexual), thoughts of suicide, and contains violence as well as sustained scenes of torture. EDIT: alphaflyer is also correct in pointing out that Tony seems OOC. Still excellent!

Into the Fire by Naja Melanoleuca. The sequel to Oxycodone Days, about four times as long and more violent. Together these are two of the best fics I have read in a very long time. In particular Clint is very, very in character with the MCU Clint that we all know and love. Again, very dark.

Daddy's Little Princess by TashaBlackWidow. Clint adopts a puppy. So cute! No warnings, but lots and lots of adorableness. :-)

The Golden Arrow by sneakronicity. Clint is Robin Hood. The Avengers are the Merry Men. Tasha is Maid Marian. Yep, they went there. And it's awesome. :-)

Strange Bird by CloudAtlas. Hawk!Clint. I've probably recced this before. But I just love it. :-)

So what do you recommend? Share!!

This was one of the first fics I read in this fandom and I still love it. I actually thought of this one when the question was asked about fiction where Natasha falls in love first (she doesn't really in this fic, but is more open to it first obviously)...and now I have this little nagging thing in my head that is telling me that maybe when he first finds her, they don't know what her age is...so she is all "let me love you" and he is all "no way kid", and she is all "I'm not a kid" b/c she thinks she's in her 20s (because she has been through so much and feels the years on her shoulders) and he thinks she's a teenager and so he waits a few years until he is more comfortable and then they get it on, haha.
