*MAD FLAILY GLEE* OMG SOMEONE TOOK THIS PROMPT! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE TOOK THIS PROMPT!!! OMG! OMG!!!!
Wah I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I always love how you manage to tell so much with not many words. Love love love that. You set things up very subtly, with Winter would've done the same thing, except with crosswords; focus all of his attention onto some poor sheet of newspaper as if it personally offended him. Ridiculous men. and other everyday references, and things of which life consists - small things. I admit that I didn't catch the reference to tango (is it something from comics, or something you came up with for this story, it's clear that certain set of tango music is upsetting and I love how Clint knows it, I love that Winter knew it too, and both would have done the same, assure that there's a way out of this situation for Nat).
"You remind me of him sometimes, you know," she says. He blinks up at her, the 'who?' as clear as a spoken question.
"Winter," she says.
If anything, his brow knits more. "Why?"
So he knows about Winter and it's such a normal remark, normal thing for her to compare them, because they're both important and loved and just.... RIDICULOUS GLEE OVER THIS. OH GOD. <333333333333333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
