Every Miracle Needs a Hand (PG) by victoriap
Hello and welcome aboard the Helicarrier. I'm
secondalto and I'll be your guide to all things Avengers this month, I promise no one is playing Galaga on my watch! You have no idea how hard it was to whittle down my choices but I hope you'll enjoy them all. I'll be reccing mostly het, a few gen and at least one Tony/Steve cause I think it's a law that you have to rec them or something. And you'll be seeing a lot of a certain taser weilding intern too. So, onto the recs!
Fandom: THE AVENGERS
Pairing: Clint Barton/Darcy Lewis
Length: 11087 words

Why this must be read: Clint/Darcy was my first ship in the fandom and are still my favorite. In this fic, Darcy is going home for Christmas and needs a fake boyfriend to keep her family at bay. Clint is volunteered. And the rest is history as her family falls in love with him right along with Darcy.
"So, is it serious?" Mom asks after a few minutes of cutting and folding and taping candy cane wrapping paper.
Darcy shrugs. "I like him," she says. It's true. Truer than she'd like, really. She'd had a crush on all of the Avengers when she'd first met them--they're ridiculously attractive superheroes and she's only human--but it had mostly faded after working with them and learning how human they really were. Except she still gets that little lowdown tingle sometimes when Clint touches her, and she's secretly glad it's him and not Tony or Steve playing Nintendo with the twins. They would have made perfectly adequate fake boyfriends--well, Steve would have; Tony would have gone way over the top--but it wouldn't have been quite as believable. Clint fits in with her family, somehow. Which is a dangerous thought she pushes away.
"I can tell. You're always full of talk about him."
"What?" Darcy's head jerks up and she totally ruins the piece of wrapping paper she's trying to cut by tearing it roughly.
"Whenever we talk, it's Clint this and Clint that. I mean, you also talk about Pepper a lot--I can't believe you're friends with Tony Stark's fiancée--but mostly when you're not talking about your boss, you're talking about Clint."
"Well, clearly that has got to stop," she jokes. "I will absolutely talk more about Thor from now on."
