Beyond Panels Reveal: Legacy (or Five Lessons Hawkeye Taught Hawkeye)

[scribblemyname]

So my Hawkeye and Hawkeye fic is no longer anonymous. I went through three plans for this and two or more iterations. geckoholic gave me a generous beta and made the little things come together, besides handholding and bouncing ideas around because I needed ideas for how to spin something larger than the prompt of friendship and the Hawkeyes. They embody friendship and I just needed a little something more.

She gave me a new word for them: legacy. I hadn't really thought about it before we chatted how much alike they really are. Clint started around the same age Kate did, just earlier. No wonder he saw himself in her and mentors her, yeah, but is the first to point out to everyone else that she's his equal and he admires and looks up to her too. They teach each other.

There's multiple quotes bouncing around where Clint calls Kate his protege, usually teasingly. There's one scan I bumped into (don't quote me on where) where the title went the other way around and neither objected. That was really what inspired this fic.
