ATTF: Families  
Happy ATTF Friday, best bar! (Hey, it's still Friday on the East Coast of NYC...)

So. Families. Long before AoU came into the mix and gave Clint his own family and backstory, we all had our headcanons as to how Clint and Natasha grew up. The bad thing about them not having their own movies is that we have no idea what kind of story the MCU had in store for them. The good news? We got to make up our own headcanons.

Do you have any favorite headcanons for our favorite assassins that you absolutely stand by? Was Natasha always an orphan, raised in the Red Room? Or did she have a family she was taken away from in Russia? Does your headcanon for Clint's family include the comicsverse of Barney and the circus, or something else entirely?

Of course, found family is one of the MCU's favorite things...and one of mine, too. It's no secret that the Avengers (especially Natasha) have found more of a place with their friends than with any family they ever had growing up.

Share your own headcanons, fic (do you have really good origin stories?) and thoughts!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Oh dear lord... FOUND FAMILIES. Every thing I've ever loved has been about found families. It's why I want to see the Logan movie so much. FOUND FAMILIES.

Unfortunately, my headcanons about most of these characters changes like the wind depending on situation. I'm about as tied to one particular canon as I am to one particular 'ship. Although at least in 'shipping, I've got my preferred pairs but then branch out into others easily. Headcanons? Anything goes!

About the only thing that stays consistent is that no matter how they started or what the family situation was, Clint and Nat are both entirely alone now, with no living blood family for either of them.

Mine, too though (in terms of changing.) I have SUCH a thing for found families, especially with Clint and Nat coming into Avengers and SHIELD the way they did.

And OUCH with the alone thing. Although, ouch in a good way.

"Headcanons? Anything goes!" So true!

Also, I feel about head canons like Groucho Marx does about principles: "If you don't like them, well, I have others..."
