Fics like It's Not Easy

...being green. Tony and Clint decide to show Bruce that the Hulk isn't all bad, but they soon realise that Hulk needs friends of his own. This story is neither action nor romance; it is built up from moments in the life of the Avengers as they become teammates, friends, and family. I'm new to writing these characters, so apologies if what I write doesn't match up to how you imagine them. And although I have some idea where I'm going with this, that is subject to change. This story is based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to the end of The Avengers, which is the movie I'm most familiar with. I'm probably not going to include anything from Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, or Agents of Shield, and I'm more or less ignoring the comics. Please keep in mind that, while I'm not focusing on mental health problems, Avengers Tower is a hot-bed of PTSD, guilt, isolation, and impulsive behaviours which may or may not count as self-destructive, and Bruce in particular has been suicidally depressed in the past. I'll try to include trigger warnings if anything particularly bad comes up, but be careful with yourselves.
