I love the idea of what I call "friendship plus." Not romance per se, but a relationship so deep as to be rather impossible to define. One forged in battle and so much more than romantic love. One where secrets are shared (and kept). One where the other is more important then jobs, orders, etc.

And my head canon agrees that MCU Clint saved Nat because of her sparing and innocent when she didn't have to. Or wounding instead of killing. Something like that.

My pet peeve is the "patching you up in the field/hotel/whatever after a mission" trope. What is the obsession with removing the bullet (and not just by fans, but studios)? And suturing wounds? Neither of which is appropriate in most, if not all, cases? Sigh. It's an occupational hazard, I know, but can someone please give these people some antibiotics and IV fluids before even considering sealing a contaminated wound or removing a fragment that may not be causing any harm and even if it is can be removed later, when risk of life-threatening hemorrhage and infection are decreased? And if they're stable, maybe they could, you know, wait until qualified care? But mostly, antibiotics.

Field dressing is one thing, but, as they say about bullet removal, well:

There was a time when this was standard practice, and that time is called "Before Antibiotics."
