Clint related questions  
I was trying to find some kind of canonic reference regarding Clint and Natasha's age, or more precisely, birth years, but I had no success. I'm familiar with their backstories in general as I picked it up at various locations around the 'net; that Clint had an abusive childhood, that his parents died in a car accident, he was in orphanage together with his brother for six years, after which they both ran away and joined circus. I'm researching for fic purposes, and I need more Clint - related details, so I would greatly appreciate any kind of help (meta, some kind of character timeline if it exists, anything - obviously I didn't read the comics, and I don't want to write something that's ridiculously far away from the canon. I'd like to stay close to canon as possible.)

Personally, I'd put Clint's age somewhere between 35 and 40, but I have no idea how accurate that might be (I'm not very good at guessing these things).

Um, that's it - help will be greatly appreciated! ♥

Briefly: they don't have ages, so make it up! (I personally have Clint born in '69, Natasha '77, and Avengers happening in 2011 for various reasons)

They've been in the comics for decades, so they are...in a lot of ways, they are ageless (although I think comic!book Natasha was born in 1927, and when the Red Room got hold of her they did experiments on her so she's a lot like Steve - but other than an AU!idea where I want to poke at her being a freedom fighter at the age of 15 in the ruins of Stalingrad, I ignore this because I like her being normal!human.)

Also, I think you can pick and choose how much of comics!canon you want to have, because comics and movies are really happening in two very separate universes.

1969. is a good year. I like that year. *grins* THANK YOU.

I prefer them as real, ordinary humans as well.

I'm usually tried to stay as close to canon as possible in my other fandoms, so there. But knowing that I'm not limited by canon is pretty cool.
