Seriously. Especially after he sent up Clint and Nat so perfectly in Avengers. Plus the necklace. I have like serious anxiety over this happening. I guess I should prepare for the inevitable if the rumors are to be believed, I just don't get it and it makes me mad.

Exactly where you are. Ugh. Let's just hope it's just a rumor. I mean, remember the ruckus after the bts stuff from the Steve+Nat kiss in TWS? What we got instead was the necklace. XD

I'm hoping it's all rumors or misdirection. But a lot of the time these rumors end up being true...and remember, originally it was scripted that Steve and Nat would end up in bed together. I just don't get why they would let her wear that necklace then, Marvel is on top of their shit, you'd think they would have been like "oh well in Ultron Widow and Hulk hook up so don't confuse the poor fangirls."

See, the thing is, I don't think Marvel ever actually hinted at Bruce/Nat themselves? It's all interpretation of the trailer and interview statements from Ruffalo that could be taken either way and... Yeah. Well. Nah. I try not to worry, that way lies an ulcer. XD

Wait what??? I never heard about that in the script???

Yeah apparently one of the big rumors floating around is that Natasha and Bruce are dating. Latino Review or whatever it's called broke the story last summer when they were filming. It's all rumor and speculation at this point but I'm very worried it's true.

Oh yeah, I heard of those rumors...I still don't necessarily buy it though. I feel like her relationship with Bruce is going to be really special, but really platonic, and she loves Clint. But we shall see!

What I was referring to was "It was originally scripted that Steve and Nat would end up in bed together." That was in the script? Where was it talked about??

Rumours are rumours ... I'm not hoping for our yacht to become canon, but expect to get enough for it to stay afloat even in the face of adversity.

I sure hope so. I don't need them to run off and get married (I mean if they want to I'm cool with it :P) but I just need some more breadcrumbs.

I don't want anything to be explicitly canon. I'd be happiest if we just got lots of new gray areas to play with.

(Although really the make or break thing for me is a good storyline for Natasha, which I am pretty certain will happen at this point. Everything else is negotiable, and I'll take what I like and leave the rest.)

Agreed! I like the gray areas and am perfectly happy if that's all we get. I will be disappointed with Bruce/Nat but also at the end of the day, that's what fic is for. Canon never gives me what I want so I seek it out or write it myself. :)

So much this! I hope the rumors won't be true either, I just want our ship to keep sailing... because I'll go down with this ship :)

Same here. :)

Why don't we have a "like" button? I'd be pressing it ...

I think our ship will keep sailing regardless. It only has to go down if we decide to abandon it, you know?

Yup, absolutely. And since there's no chance of that happening anytime soon, this ship will sail forever :)

As they say, I don't ship it, I helicarrier it!
