(Formatting on AO3 looks a bit weird; here's the story on ffn as well.)
characters: Steve, Clint/Natasha; genre: friendship/character study; rated teen; 6049 words
Summary: Two master assassins, a demi-god, a super soldier, a man with breathtaking anger management issues and a billionaire in a flying suit. They're supposed to be on the same team.

This is the first in a series of vignettes and character studies about individual team members in the aftermath of the battle. I enjoyed it for the insight into the characters and the careful, tentative building of a connection between them. Love the Steve POV: the way he is trying to find his feet in a world he doesn't know, the way he perceives his team members.
(tagged 1/? but this first chapter stands on its own.)
