This is rather adorable, the whole thing. The stealing groceries is a nice spy touch to every day life. I like the idea of her stuff just appearing and suddenly they are moved in.

I also rather like the contrast between mission Natasha and at home Natasha. She rebels a bit from the order which she has been forced into. I picture her not being able to do this growing up, so now she keeps things cluttered.

I loved this when I read it on AO3. Clint's reasons for being so tidy, and for leaving empty cartons of milk in the fridge -- all the more heart-breaking for being so real, as was Natasha's explanation for not having to be perfect. Just wonderful, and so true.
