Here Waiting (Do You See Me?) by Morgane (smilla840)

It's been a great month reccing for you guys! Thanks!

Fandom: AVENGERS (2012)
Pairing: Natasha/Phil, Natasha/Clint/Phil
Length: ~15k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] smilla840
Author Website: AO3

Why this must be read: I saved this one for last, because it is one of the best examples of the "learning to be loved" genre, which is perhaps my favorite ever. Morgane pulls heartstrings in all the best ways, and it's just...a beautiful read to curl up with.



“I’m happy for you,” he offered, a little awkward, and he would have left it at that except Phil’s “Are you?” shocked him enough that he turned back and finally met his eyes. Because Phil, Phil didn’t sound sure, and Jesus, what?

“Of course I am,” Clint said, dimly aware that he sounded horrified that Phil would even think otherwise, and the man had the good grace of looking embarrassed.

“Okay, good.” Phil smiled, more tentative than Clint had ever seen on him. “Thank you.”

Clint nodded abruptly and left without another word. He was halfway between Phil’s office and his quarters when he had something of an epiphany: Phil had thought he would be jealous.

He almost wished it was that simple.

He wasn’t remotely surprised to find Natasha waiting for him in his room, sitting cross-legged on the bed. She had turned his computer on and a blank form was waiting for him on the screen, the message clear enough. So Clint sat down, typed his mission report and sent it to Phil. Through it all Natasha stayed put, watching him quietly. She knew the moment he had logged off, and didn’t let him delay things any further.

“Come to bed,” she said and Clint snorted humourlessly. He could see why Phil may have gotten the wrong idea.

Another fic I really enjoyed for all the fabulous Clint feels! Thanks for your recs this month -- I saw a lot of old friends and passions and discovered some new ones, thanks to you

And the vid rec you just posted has some great clips (I haven't had a chance to see the movie, so I hoard vids that have footage I haven't seen and that vid has *lots* of stuff I hadn't seen before. Yay!!! :-)))
