Why I Loved It: Oh my godddd. This fic. THIS FIC. Outsider POV is another of those things that only work for me occasionally. This one is so, so good. Natasha watches Clint fall for Coulson and I'm pretty sure strains something rolling her eyes. Then Coulson falls for Clint and all is well right? RIGHT? NO. Because men are stupid. Obviously, this being Natasha POV, she has the best lines and I want to kiss someone for the existence of dialogue like this: "I would call you a chicken, but they have very effective mating rituals," she points out. "You don't. The chicken is your superior."

I just smile the whole way through reading this fic every time.
