A Lastavica is a swallow. ..."She lifted her wings. She rode the wind. She was not eaten." (A Cry of Stone - Michael D. O'Brien)

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." -Kahlil Gibran

"To see the miraculous within the ordinary is the mark of highest wisdom." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"All the information. All the big ideas. All the radio waves. Electronic seas. How to navigate? How to simply be? To know when to wait? Explain simplicity. In whom shall I trust, how might I be still? Teach me to surrender. Not my will. Thy will." (Falling At your Feet - Bono & Daniel Lanois)

I love angst and friendship. I love truth to the fullest in relationships. Struggle is normal and there's always hope. I mostly write one shots, though if I can, I will write a full story. Whatever an idea demands. For me, that's usually just small windows into lives. Glimpses. I write a lot of one shots. That's me.

I'm intensely appreciative of comments/reviews. I just really want to know what you think.

* I don't own any characters I write about. *

They love each other. It's that simple. A series of one shots of the quiet, simple, often angsty moments of Clint and Nat's life after giving up SHIELD/The Avengers. ...The first one can definitely be read independently of the others if you prefer. I'm just painting pictures. Not necessarily chronological, but I try to clarify where we're at.
