You're so welcome! I was going to set this in the San Juans, but I realized everything I know about them comes from you and I didn't want to get anything wrong. So I went with a neutral (and really fricking cold) location. It was actually supposed to be shorter, but it was such a neat idea that I couldn't seem to keep it contained. :) But I'm happy to hear you liked it!!!
In my headcanon, Natasha startles Clint by showing up for the movie night, and they watch Arsenic and Old Lace and have a competition to see who can catch more popcorn in their mouths (Clint wins because he never misses), and they start assisting each other on research trips more and more often to the point that the rest of the SHIELD base crew jokes that they're science dating (Tony and Banner, obviously, are science bros). When Clint gets tapped to work on conservation of the endangered Galapagos penguins, Natasha takes a sabbatical from her research program to go along and study local species (Clint does the same thing when she's offered a chance to spend a semester lecturing at a prestigious Russian university).
Hee, if you're looking for more exclamation points, better hurry before the Downton and Doctor Who fandoms use them all up tomorrow. Two Christmas Specials airing and it ought to be frightening.
Merry Christmas to you, too!! I hope it's phenomenal!
