Fic: Now I'm Ready to Start 2/2

Aug 16, 2012 21:47

This is the prompt: So when Clint and Natasha come back from missions or being in the field, be it with the Avengers or SHIELD, they need to transition from the mindset of being out in the field to that of being safe/home/whatever. Generally this goes a lot more smoothely if there's someone they trust there to give them gentle orders/guidelines/ ( Read more... )

This was very compelling. I found it both emotionally powerful and infinitely believable, when it could have very easily gone wrong. Thank you for sharing!

Glad you liked it! I occasionally had to rein myself in before I got too carried away, so I'm glad that the more understated version seems believable. Thank you for saying so. :)

I absolutely loved this - the team dynamics were played out so wonderfully and all the little details were exquisite. And Steve in competent!caring!Captain mode is just something I adore endlessly.

Sequel please?

That's one of my favorite kinds of Steve! Thanks for leaving a message, it's been a while since I wrote, so I'm happy people are into it. I don't really have plans to write a sequel to this, but I am like 30 pages in to an OTTeam fic so I will be writing more Avengers at least.

This is absolutely precious. I love that they're all still learning to work together as a team, but unhesitatingly resolved to support and help Natasha and Clint work through their mental wind-down, love that you went into the depth of detail and reasoning that really made their mind-state convincing, love doped-on-painkillers Coulson, and love Clint and Natasha's reactions when they wake up back as themselves XD Wonderful stuff all round.

Thank you for the compliments! I figured it was one of those things where they'd saved the world together, so of course they couldn't just write them off, they were better than family now.

<3<3<3Coulson like that too!
