I mean I might be biased toward this fic cause I got to see how it was molded and the process of it from start to finish, which was kind of an amazing thing. I think that perhaps it’s not secret that I love angst fics, and being able to have input into one was so much fun, because hey, let’s add in more angst. So thanks @flyingblackhawk you are truely a superstar. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

For those of you who know me, I can’t write fic, but I can damn well review it. So here goes.

I think that I love angst and h/c fic so much is because of the payoff at the end. I mean isn’t that what we all love about the 2012 avengers in the tower? That they could all come home together and find some semblance of normal? This fic just touches on all of that, and that Natasha is seemingly the last one to get it, that holding onto being alone through pain isn’t perhaps the best way to deal with it. The realisations that she comes to in the end are all things that each of them could have touched on and told her, but I suppose without the self realisation she wouldn’t have accepted it.

Part of this fic that I love include all the small details - Natasha moving her cup knowing she’s in for a fight when Tony comes into her room, Clint realising she’s doing exactly what she asked, Natasha going about her day as normal but holding a grudge so completely that no one knows what to do that an intervention seems like the only out. And of course the line of ‘the last people to lock me in a room was the people that tortured me’ ugh so good. And of course Tony. I mean, no one else could even come close to saying any of that and getting away with it, not even Clint (yes I’ll fight you on that) because the lack of tact was perhaps the only way to get her to think about what had happened from another’s POV. And of course the bonding at the end? The 360 of Natasha punching Tony when he thinks she’s going in for a hug back round to Tony hugging Natasha and not getting punched is quietly awesome. And the understated forgiveness of accepting someone onto your side of the couch is just perfect. I know I say all the time, that your fic is brilliant, but I don’t think I can actually convey that it’s like a blanket on a cold day or the perfect hoodie that fits just right. So thanks for the awesomeness that is this fic.

The format on this is lost on me, I don’t know how the lines keep getting longer. To all my fic writing buddies, I’ve decided that I’ll put my reviews on here as well as ao3. I think it might help me categories things better. Also any other fic recs, come at me.

All that there is
