Causing a Scene
From

frea_o's Talking Like Peter Lorre http://archiveofourown.org/works/607424 , the scene at the end where the orca leaps out of the water. For one beautiful moment, frozen in time, the orca seems to hang gracefully in the air…and then they’re drenched with water so frigid it burns as it crashes back to the sea.Clint swears a blue streak, but Natasha, Natasha is laughing like a lunatic.
Now, I fully admit to being biased about this fic since it was a gift for me, but that scene is just so beautifully descriptive and I love that it shows a lighter side to this AU Natasha and that she shares it with Clint.
Also from frea_o , ... Joys of Parenthood, in the same zoologists AU, http://frea-o.livejournal.com/39200.html , the ending scene where Clint surprises Natasha with penguin eggs and this line “Congratulations!” Clint says. “We’re parents!” Clint's excitment is palpable as is Natasha's surprise, and the picture this paints in my mind is hilarious.
This one from anuna_81 , in Kobayashi Maru, M rating, http://archiveofourown.org/works/465017 . I know both baby!fic and tower-living!fic are not for everybody, and that's fine. In the right hands, I can see both being believable, and this fic delivers for me. The scene is little over halfway down and it involves the whole team together for dinner, but what makes this so memorable to me is the conversation -- a serious debate over the superiority of either Star Trek or Star Wars and mainly takes place between Bruce, Tony, and Clint. I love the geek references, the relaxed mood, the joking, and Bruce completely wins my heart with this: “There isn't a ship that's cooler than The Millennium Falcon,”. Add to that the ending of the scene with Natasha and Clint feeling their baby move and the emotions, and I get teary-eyed and a little choked up. When I reread this fic, I usually have to go back and read this scene over again I like it so much.
Another baby!fic, but this one from tielan and this time it's Maria Hill's baby. And Baby Makes Eight, http://archiveofourown.org/works/532082/chapters/943750 The scene is toward the end of Chapter 4 and Steve is reading a bedtime story to Maria's daughter while the other Avengers are outside the room listening. It's peaceful and gorgeous and I love the book quotes. There's also a lovely glimpse of Clint and Natasha. The rest of the chapter is full of FEELS, but this part just hits me hard. And then right after you get a real punch to the gut with the chapter ending.
From alphaflyer , The Skies Over Manhattan, http://archiveofourown.org/works/574373/chapters/1029508 This entire fic is so smart and so well put together, but my scene of choice comes about halfway thru Chapter 4. Natasha, Bruce and Sitwell are in the cafeteria when Clint comes back from mission and there's Something about the tension in the room when Agent Barton came in here all kitted out for war. (Bruce's words.) The scene has tension, humor, conflict resolution, baklava, competent agents, jackass agents, a little bit of romance, and Doreen the cafeteria lady. And the description of Hawkeye entering the room is ... kinda yummy.
I think I'll leave it at those 5 for now. There are certainly more that come to mind and maybe sometime soon I'll put those into a post as well but now it's getting late. Please reply and let me know what you think about these fics/scenes and if there are any you'd like to share.

I will raise your low-slung trousers and beautiful chest with a pair of aviators and tattoos.

How about I just raise (lower?) a pair of pants:
