Me and @shadesfalcon met T'Challa and Steve and when they asked us who our favorite Avenger was, we replied "Clint!" and "Natasha!" respectively because we are OBVIOUSLY on a first name basis with Clint and Natasha.
“Plus, he likes me better than he likes you. Because I’m charming and you’re like an angry wet murder kitten that hasn’t had its claws trimmed in over a decade.”

This song was inspired by the fic Mokusatsu by shadesfalcon. (I actually wrote another one a while ago.)
It’s in a 7/8 time signature for absolutely no reason except that I like to make my own life hell. I can’t actually complain about the key change because there IS a reason for that, but jellyfish do I WANT to complain about it.
Anyway, I hope you like it!
Lyrics under the cut.
There’s a song
That plays when someone calls
Me on my phone
And I know the words
Only to the first line
It never rings further
There is an empty room
Where the notes echo
Like so many arrows
Through my heart
But I don’t have time
For the things that are mine
I owe it to the world to be fine
There's a man
I don't really like
He has eyes just like mine
He's not enough
He walks 'til he drops
Still the pain never stops
He has a heart of gold
That's what they say
For all the good that it does him
He cannot see
That the path that he walks
Will lead to a dead end
That's paved with half-assed intent
Never knew I could drown
'Til I went for a swim
Never know I need to breathe
'Til my head starts spinning
Never knew I could love something
When I need it just to survive
Never knew I could dream
About not being right
You asked me how I was once
I didn't know what to say
I'm not used to that question
From someone who cares
You said
Pick a flavor of ice-cream
I know we're getting dinner soon
But there is more to a good thing
Than being on schedule
You said
You hate the bare walls
Your job and your cellphone
Why not try to love yourself
A little
Bit more
Ok, hear me out: Crowley's Bentley and the Doctor's TARDIS would probably have a lot of fun if they ever met and could talk about their owners,
BUT
it gets even funnier when you think that both Crowley and the Doctor have been played by David Tennant, so then you get ideas like "what if Crowley is actually just the Doctor in a multiverse and instead of a TARDIS to travel the stars, he created the stars as Raphael and made a car that could travel to them"
AND
"if there’s a neverending supply of sunglasses in the Bentley, is it because the glove compartment is bigger on the inside?”

Summary:
Response to a tumblr prompt that requested examining Natasha working through the Red Room handcuff brainwashing over a longer period of time, rather than one emotional breakthrough.
It turned into more of a "trace the relationship through the years" fic, as Clint and Natasha quickly find out that breaking such a deep-seated habit might put more of a strain on their relationship than it can handle. It doesn't help that Clint has some issues of his own.
Continuing the recommendation of content from the This Ends Badly Squad, here’s shadesfalcon tearing at your emotions again.
