Why this must be read:

Darcy's life is weird, but she kind of likes it.

This is a genuinely warm, lovely team fic with a Darcy POV which is probably my favourite "outsider" POV on the Avengers as a group.

This is team building with crayons, patience and an understanding that sometimes the simple things are the best.

"Dr. Banner, what can I do for you?" She smiles, and tries to hide the fact that he makes her nervous in ways none of the others--not even Natasha, who she's sure could probably kill her with her pinky--do.

"Please, call me Bruce. Are these yours?"

"Steve's. He's very talented."

"I can see that." He taps the box of crayons. "May I?"

"Sure."

He sets the folder down--it's a purchase requisition for Coulson's signature; he usually sends them interoffice, so it must be something that requires an explanation or a rush--and picks up the box. "I always liked the smell," he confesses.

"Yeah," she says. "Me, too." She gestures towards the folder. "You need Agent Coulson's signature?"

"Yes, please. The sooner, the better. Call me when it's signed? I'll send someone up."

"Of course." He turns to walk away, and some impulse makes her say, "If you come back and get it yourself, I'll share the crayons with you." She lowers her voice, as if confessing something scandalous. "Steve and I color sometimes when we're supposed to be working."

I loved this rec. I'm a huge Avengers fanfic fan (tongue twister much?!) and read a ton of fic and this is one of my favourites as I love reading Darcy centric fic too. :)
