The fanfiction I chose was a story exploring the sexual tension between Black Widow and Hawkeye. The writer of this piece is clearly a huge fan of the Marvel world and took this writing very seriously. They attempted to write this in a way that Marvel could sell this as their own story. For the most part, the story explores the characters created by Whedon pretty accurately. The author emphasizes the two in a way Whedon doesn’t. The author stresses that Black Widow is this super serious, brick-wall type while Hawkeye is this sarcastic, funny guy. Though they both have flickers of that in Whedon’s work, he doesn’t emphasize those traits as much. Hawkeye is funny at times, but comes across very serious as well in the Avengers and Black Widow is pretty closed off and serious, but nothing like she’s made out to be in this story. This clearly spins off of the Avengers, but the author either resurrected Coulson on his own, or knew he was brought back to life in the Agents of Shield tv show. In general, I would say a piece like this is written to appeal to big fans of the Marvel industry, especially those whose favorite characters are either Black Widow or Hawkeye, as they are the only people really mentioned in this piece. There is no mention of the Avengers in this, so it makes me wonder if this piece was written to be either before or after the Avengers assemble. It might even be written by someone who is a huge fan of the comics and has never seen the movies as it really had not direct ties or acknowledgement.
