It is my pleasure to host the first ATTF of the year, and I bring you... pain. Muahahaha.

This week's theme is the darker/unhappier side of relationships. Especially if you have two personalities as potentially explosive as Clint and Natasha, issues are probably bound to crop up. They both have plenty, and it is likely that self-reliance was an essential survival skill for both of them in the past -- had to be, really. How does affect a relationship, getting used to sharing your life with someone, even the ugly parts, and giving up on fending by yourself? What about getting into a relationship, letting go of fear of abandonment or commitment, dealing with the time they have to spend away from each other, and living with the constant risk of losing your partner (in which ever way that is to be interpreted) in their line of work... all that must be hard enough, but if you add both their histories, there is SO much potential for issues to simmer, or boil over. And what happens then? How do they fight? How would they handle a breakup -- final or temporary -- and how would that change depending on the point in time at which it occurs? They are exes in the comics, how would you that translate into the MCU? What about past relationships? How would those shape and influence a current relationship between the two of them?

Soooooo. Any headcanons, ideas, fic recs? Revel in the sadness, bar patrons, and most importantly, share all the sad things with the rest of us. ;D

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.)
