Summary
Despite what everyone thought, it had not started as something intentionally related to the codename he’d been given. Rather, it was a function of how he was often stationed in high places for long periods of time - you had to keep hydrated, and well nourished, and have proper clothing for changes in weather. After a certain period, when he had been assigned several long stakeouts in a row, he realized there was no point in climbing down to sleep - especially when he was likely to be roused and expected to be in position if his mark was moving. So he started bringing a sleeping bag with him, and then books and a gameboy and a mini DVD player for when he wasn’t on watch. He knew, before the first agent decided he was going to be clever, that people would consider it a nest.
Self-awareness was more than half the battle. That, and the ability to shoot unsuspecting agents in the ass with an arrow when they began to annoy him.
Clint moves into Avengers Tower, and promptly takes up residence in the air ducts, including the one above Bruce's lab. It soon becomes clear that this isn't just a cracky, quirky behavior.

Summary
“So. Both of my Mandatory Counselors said that I need to get out more. Besides saving the world.” Bruce nodded - it was reasonable advice, he supposed, considering they probably didn’t know about Clint’s recent decision to inhabit the air ducts. “So...” He glanced down.
Oh, thought Bruce, and supposed it made sense - they were, sort of, friends. If he had to list, like a fifth grade girl, who he was closest to in the Avengers, Clint would follow Tony. And yet most of it had been based on silent communication and a mutual - what, exactly? - before the other day, when... “Clint,” said Bruce, and it felt odd to say his name. “Would you like to go see the movie about the Scottish-”
“Oh, Brave?” Clint said, trying to be nonchalant. “Yeah, if you don’t...I mean, it’s a kids movie, but it’s...”
After the events in On Nesting, Bruce and Clint's bond continues to develop - and Bruce struggles with how to deal with his attraction to Clint so soon after Coulson's death.
