Oh, thank you for such an amazing prompt! It's been bouncing around my skull since I read, I'm just happy to have done it justice (and the source poem, too, is just yes; I had it up in another window and would go and reread it as I was writing this).
I have so many Natasha-and-colours-and-clothing feels now (and most of the clothes I've mentioned in fic actually exist, including her fabulous burgundy shoes - they are Fluevogs, for the record - and her rainbow dress) and really, thank you for letting me write this and get a lot of them down into fic-form. And I'm really, really glad that Clint in this came across as...part of her, but not, but never overwhelming her. I was a bit worried he was in it a bit too much for something that was about Natasha, so, :D am really glad that worked.

AND YOU ARE MAKING PERFECT SENSE, I PROMISE :DDDD
My utter pleasure, and I'm so glad you like it ♥
