ME TOO. Also ohhhh my headcanons lol. I have this whole headcanon that her and Clint kind of jokingly hate each other, though they don't really HATE each other, more like a mutual brother-sister affection where Clint constantly disobeys her orders and is late for meetings and mocks up his meeting reports and pisses her off and Maria loves to spar verbally with him, because he's sharp and bone-headed at the same time. And it's a different relationship than Fury because she's comfortable with Fury but they're equals in superiority, and different than Natasha because Nat is a woman and she can be more open with her, but Clint is like her little brother and she respects him but she also gives him a hard time. But they have fun together, and they're comfortable with each other in the way most people aren't. And because of that, Hill knows more about Strike Team Delta than most people.

Also, in non-Clint head canon news, Maria is close with Bobbi (since before she married Clint) and turned Bobbi onto gin and tonics one time during a mission.

I feel a "Five Times Maria Hill Told Clint ..." coming on ...

Maybe for those trick or treaters ...

Hmmm....

Okay, thanks, you've done it now!! ;-)

Haha YESSSS I know you understand my Maria/Clint love! I would be HAPPY to indulge you in this if you weren't, you know, worried about getting something overly quickly. It just may take me awhile for certain trick or treats.... ;)

I'll be behind in my treats too. But ... ideas!!

THAT IS WONDERFUL. I like the idea that Maria's relationship with Clint is basically 'you're a pain in my ass but, dammit, I like you', lol. And ooh, I'm not sure who's supposed to be older by years, but she IS his superior, so that has to make for an interesting dynamic. YES GOOD, I LIKE THIS.

Of course she is. She definitely is. (I'm really into all the SHIELD ladies being besties, Maria, Nat, Bobbi, May, with bonus Pepper. :D Also I need Maria and Bobbi icons, jfc, fandom, go fill my needs. xD)
