ATTF: Hobbies  
Hello there,

So we are all a fan of the super spies/assassin and can all basically agree that they are certified badasses when it comes to their work. But they can't always be working, right? I mean even the most dedicated spy, once broken free

Do you think that they have any hobbies or do you think work takes up a lot of their times?
Do you think that they keep any hobbies consistently or do they always try new things?
Do you think they share any hobbies or do they have very differing tastes?
Do they have hobbies that they share with other teammates?
What do you think they like to do for fun?

Personally I tend to think that Natasha doesn't really know what to do with spare time. She like music, but when she first broke free of her orders she was left a bit hollow and confused about why people would do things other than train. With time I think she took to quiet hobbies like reading to keep herself occupied, but she still keeps doing things like dancing even without the conditioning (old habits are hard to break after all). She doesn't really share her hobbies and just kind of does them to recuperate by herself.

Clint on the other hand I picture having a lot of hobbies. For some reason I always picture him being able to play the guitar, acoustic, and then will pick up other hobbies at random. Like he will see someone juggling and go "That is badass, I should learn how to do that" and then train until he gets good at it. Then he will get bored once he gets good at it and find something else he can set his sights on. All of his hobbies are big and flashy though, a remnant of his circus days. I can see him showing off for Natasha and her humoring him and giving him snark about whatever he is doing.

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

I have them both reading. But I have everyone reading so I think that's more me than an actual headcanon.

I like the idea that Natasha is quite cultured, and enjoys museums and art galleries and ballet and opera and theatre etc etc. And Clint likes some of these things, but pretends he doesn't. :P But mostly I think Natasha likes quiet and/or solitary hobbies; reading, going to exhibitions, ballet, puzzles. I think she likes quiet - but not introspective quiet. Like, quiet activities. Partly because I think, while she finds differeny fighting styles and new weaponary very interesting, they're too close to her job to be hobbies. She also likes Sigur Ros, because I like Sigur Ros. :P

I like the idea that Clint is into sci-fi - especially "classic" sci-fi like Asimov, which is weird because I don't like that kind of sci-fi all that much - and also history. But not academic history, more like "you know about the thing! You will tell me about the thing and then I too will know about the thing!" I think Clint knows a lot of really random stuff because he's good at remembering, and I think Clint enjoys learning, though not academically. I think he's pretty good at occupying himself when he wants to be and has, thanks to the circus, a plethora of random tricks with which to do just that.

YES to the reading. Clint spends hours on stakeouts making up for the fact that he hasn't gotten a formal education. Most of the stuff he reads is related to missions, like when he was sent to Central Asia he read "The New Great Game", just so he can get some context for just why he is being asked to kill someone. Natasha does like the Russian novels -- it's the only time she feels like claiming her Russian heritage.

I am suddenly reminded of Walsh in the Unusuals reading trivia on stakeouts.

But yes to so much of this. I swear your fics give me more headcanons...

Ohh, I like your headcanons for both of them. :D Especially about the quiet-not-introspective hobbies for her and the picking up random knowledge for him.
