I love the Avengers movie, and love the fanfic potential of Clint and Natasha's unexplained backstory. But it bugged me how often fics had him bring her in forcefully - subdue her in hand to hand combat.
In the movie, he and Widow fight to a near standstill, while she is injured, and without a weapon, and him fresh and armed. She is fighting under the additional handicap of not wanting to really hurt or worse, kill him. She still wins.
Get in close quarters with the Black Widow, and capture her? Captain America or Luke Cage might be able to. Hawkeye? Heck no.
That was the genesis of the fic. It grew to be about much more.
