North Korea :) I love the mention of Kimchi. Considering that I've never met a Korean on this site and never seen a Korean fic, bar some weirid HP ones published a decade ago, it feels so good to see Korean stuff here. And Clint, our brave Hawkeye, can speak Korean! Did I mention that I'm a Korean writer? Thank you so much for this story!

I just want to say, in your note at the end you said they didn’t find shorten the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division to S.H.I.E.L.D. until iron man but they definitely would’ve made it S.H.I.E.L.D. before then because it was founded by Peggy Carter and Howard Stark and named after Captain America. His shield. They needed a bunch of words to fit the acronym because it couldn’t just be Shield. It had to be an acronym like F.B.I. is Federal Bureau of Investigation.

wow...this is my favorite kind of fic. a little seriousness here and there, but light enough on realism to be 100% entertainment.
I’ll admit that it sticks wrong to just straight up erase Clint’s hearing loss like that. overall though, this is a fun read

You're turning into a very good agent, Clint.

Captured on purpose? Quick thinking, Phul!

This isn't working out how they planned it.

A 'rookie' is going to find and destroy a hydra base?

WOW!

I loved the sarcasm after Clint took out the first four.

Clint has to talk Coulson sometime soon or he's going to implode.

I think it was an anniversary of one of the hits and Clint had to punish himself again for doing it.

GED? That would give Clint a sense of accomplishment.

It's time to join the good guys.

Looking forward to more good reading!

Thank you so much for writing this incredible series. I read this story years ago for the first time, and I can't recall how many times I've re-read your Vantage Point collection. It's absolutely brilliant. Your plotlines, the characters and their characterisation, and your amazing development of Clint and Phil. I can't ever get enough. All the best and hope that you're staying well!
