hmmm, I think Clint isn't all that excited about fall, because it's the lead up to cold weather and he has too many memories of never being able to get warm enough. Plus, fall=school, and that's not a great set of memories either.

HOWEVER. He is allllll over Halloween, especially trick-or-treating. He buys bags of candy (the good stuff, not any of the "fun" sizes, which basically wound his soul. "Why would you do that to good candy? Why would you chop it up like that??") Venturing over into Hawkguy territory, I feel certain there is one last roof-top cookout at the end of the month, where he can off-load at least some of his sugar high. Natasha watches in amusement/horror (as is so often the case between them.)

Once it starts getting cooler, Natasha allows herself to linger over her morning coffee/tea, to enjoy the contrast with the air temperatures. (Clint is in the background snorting, "Yeah, knock yourself out with the self-indulgence there, Nat," which she ignores with as much serenity as possible.) It's also the time when theater and dance companies start their seasons, so she enjoys getting to see new performances, especially when she can drag Clint along and broaden his horizons. (She might or might not make a few selections based on what she thinks he might like, but no one can prove anything.)

LOVE this!

I always see Natasha as very controlled, even in her indulgences, which Clint gets, but he definitely thinks she could loosen up juuuuust a little more. :D

Oooh I love these! And good point about the candy, Clint ;)

The fun sizes are just very very wrong.

I feel like in the end though, he won't waste perfectly good candy so will proceed to eat the entire bag in one sitting.

Oh, for sure! It's a big thing for Clint to let *any* food go to waste, much less stuff that tastes good but is just weirdly portioned.

I am totally with Clint on the candy. I mean, why screw around with halving your calories when you can go for broke?

And thanks for the rooftop cookout -- which gave me the idea for the little thing I did further down! :-)

It's such a waste of time to have to tear open all those packages!

And I'm super-glad you ran with the rooftop idea--it needed some TLC, and lord knows I'm not getting anything much done.

I love your take on Natasha's fall rituals and Clint's reaction XD and I'm also totally here for Clint having ~opinions on candy. Heeh. :D

Oh, yeah, my Clint is always trying to loosen Natasha up, even though he understands why she's careful with the control (and will concede that he could also stand to use a little more of thoughtful consideration himself.)

Heeh, I like the way you headcanon him a lot!
