Summary: It's not about being unmade; it's about remaking, one aching step at a time.

This has been recced a lot so y'all have probably read it already...

I couldn't get into this story right away because the topic and style don't hit the right buttons for me, so I put it aside for a few weeks. But once I got reading and really drawn in, I couldn't put it down. The scenario: after the attack of New York, Clint remembers Natasha and him being in love, Natasha doesn't, and neither of them can be sure whose memory is right. There are no easy fixes... the story is complex, sad yet hopeful, and overall quite beautiful.
