Treehouse Reversebang: Avengers, Natasha/Clint, Maria

[pentapus]

Here is the second of the new(ish) Reversebang stories! I felt guilty initially because I had given tielan a set of characters that were not her first choice, but having read the story, I regret nothing. Fantastic Clint and Natasha, with some great outsider POV of Natasha (also, I like that - for not very long, admittedly - you are worred for Natasha's physical safety which becomes worry for her emotional well being, because, uh, she has the physical well in hand) plus great team dynamic with Maria as the new handler. Basically, it's a story about Natasha's anger and how well Clint (and to a lesser extent, Maria) know Natasha. :D

It should be a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a date rape drug must be in want of a brain.

Ooh, I can't wait to check out the fic. And GUH, this piece is gorgeous. Am kind of blown away by the way you've done lighting effects here, and your lines are beautiful. Also I really like the patterns! I don't remember the last time I saw you do an illustration like this; one that was staged more as a scene with an environment (although admittedly I've been absent a lot), and it looks fantastic. A panel from a comic I would love to read. ;)

Is the fact that Natasha's fingernails aren't outlined allllll the way to the tips of her finger mean something, or am I just fixating? I liek clint a little better here than Natasha, and I'm not sure why, but his visible grumpyness took a lpt of skill. :D
