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! ♥

Re: wordy reply to say the same thing as brickhousewench, heh
I am in agreement with you and [livejournal.com profile] workbee73 when it comes to age gap - Natasha may be young in years, but everything else about her just screams old soul, and it makes sense, considering everything she's been through. You don't go through hell like that unscratched. So there's an age gap, but not a real life experience gap between them. if that makes sense.

Thank you! It looks like I can, basically, run with the plot and backstory that makes most sense to me. I kind of love that, hehe :D
