characters: clint barton/natasha romanoff, natasha romanoff/steve rogers, clint barton/bobbi morse, sam wilson

After the nightmares, after the monsters, after the secrets, the following things happen: Natasha and Steve put together Ikea furniture, read old letters from the war, and play Trivial Pursuit. Clint and Bobbi reconnect about their past. And Sam Wilson comes over to play video games.

Sometimes, the answer to being put back together is learning how to be unmade apart.

(OR: the one where team Winter Soldier is supposed to be off doing important “save the world” type things, but everyone gets sidetracked by life instead.)
