What’s past is prologue.
-- William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Thanks goes to Laffers18 on Twitter for looking it over.

Summary: Natasha's life can be split into two parts.



There are two parts to Natasha’s life: Before Clint and After Clint.

Before Clint is when the Red Room owned her, and her employers didn’t give her the option of saying no. It’s a time of violence, both towards herself and others. She broke free of the Red Room when she burned the hospital to the ground, but the chance to change her ways never came.

After Clint is simpler. Sweeter, almost. She still chooses her missions but backup is available to her, unlike before. She enjoys her missions with SHIELD and Clint.

She’s slowly wiping red from her ledger.

Aw, thanks. :)

I just filled a ton of prompts at Promptathon, so there will be a lot more Clint/Natasha fic coming in the next month on my journal.

I saw! I'm going to try and update the master list as soon as I can. I was reading the 12-parter; I think there may be one section where the snippet repeats....

Mother of chocolate fudge! Okay, let me know, and I'll fix it. I was posting it really fast, and I'll try and find it myself. It's not supposed to repeat...

EDIT: Never mind. Found the double posted drabble and deleted the second one. Thanks for the heads up!

Awesome! Thank you.

Also, do you might If I post the link to just the fisrt one but list all the prompts you did? We're running out of space in the master pos-- yesterday I had to elete all the six-word stories b/c it told me the post was too large. We'll figure out a solution eventually (subject of a new poll i'm sure), but for now is that okay?

Yeah, posting to just the first one is okay. They're all connected via link after the first one, so it's just the first one people need to find.
