Why this must be read:
Clint's got a secret love, and it's spelled b-a-n-j-o.
It was SO HARD to pick a favorite Clint/Darcy story and there will probably be another one (or two) before I pull this van over to the side of the road, but I went with something longish that really sunk its teeth into this pairing and into the character of Clint Barton.
There is brash, passionate, insecure Clint and kickass, take-no-prisoners, devious Darcy. What else could you ask for? This isn't a traditional relationship story because it's not strictly boy-meets-girl, rather, boy-meets-banjo-then-meets-girl.
"You think I can't tell when you do the sniper-freeze, that's adorable."
"Paranormal Activity is a scary fucking movie, alright?" Clint says, too tired to keep it up. "You don't get to talk anyway, you cried when Tony showed us those home videos."
"Those were tears of laughter, asshole," Darcy says, but she's laughing on it. "He was wearing a Captain America shirt."
"Yeah, don't think he realized that before he showed us," Clint says.
"He did turn a very interesting shade of purple," Darcy agrees contemplatively. "On the other hand, he probably got laid for it, so, I mean, power to him and his grape-jelly facial contortion."
"Yeah," Clint says, not really listening anymore, and goes quiet. He's thinking about Tony's home videos and his purple face, the way that Steve quietly obsesses about everyone's injuries, Thor's uncomfortable insight's and Bruce's hilarious, over-the-top apologies for the Hulk's messes, Natasha's fingers plucking out Patsy Cline on Clint's guitar. The truth--the real, honest truth, the truth he never wants to look in the face--is that he would trade being a superhero tomorrow, no problem. But he can't bring himself to trade working with his team; he can't even really bring himself to consider it.
