1) True fact: I went to the cinema with my family to watch one of the Die Hard films - the fourth one? - and the scene where Bruce Willis kills a hellicopter with a car I turn to Mum and find her with her head tilted back fast asleep. This is how I learnt that it is indeed possible for some people to sleep through film scenes consisting of explosions and mayhem. I find this impressive.
2) I like this idea, of an early days Natasha and Clint where Natasha being around helps Clint to relax and sleep and where Clint in return gives Natasha a pop culture thing that she can have in common with other people, to help her start to fit in. But this is an AU for me, because I actually think - thought even before I saw that scene in Agent Carter where the kids watch American films - that part of Natasha's training would have included pop culture and that, whilst Clint would find it easier to sleep with Natasha around, Clint wouldn't fall asleep during a film or show he really wanted to watch, I see him having better focus than that and also not wanting to sleep through a good thing.
3) Descriptions he’s excellent at; explanations not so much. On the other hand, this ties in nicely with the yin-yang of them for me - Clint being excellent at recall and describing, Natasha being good at explaining what it is he's describing, or Natasha explaining and Clint describing the fine details. Like Clint being good at the birds eye view and Natasha being good at the ground work.
bonus 4) I'd just watched Pacific Rim so it enedd up in the this fic, and is where the title comes from, and also I started writing a Pacific Rim AU. So somewhere I also have this fic where Clint and Natasha were Jaager partners and they get beaten, but Natasha doesn't die, she gets injured and ends up in a wheelchair, and tells Clint to leave so he does. Years later Clint is called back to help with a final push to fight the Kaiju. Kate Bishop tells him she's going to be her partner, but no one else thinks that'll work. And Natasha's been on a journey to find Bucky Barnes, because she felt since she was no longer of use she now had the time to do what she wanted, which was to find her friend. Eventually Clint and Natasha get back together. I stumbled over a few things, including how to write someone with a physical disability from the POV of Clint who feels really guilty about it, so somewhere it languishes unfinished. Since then I've written Clint as partially deaf and I'd like to try tackling disability in a fic again.
