Specific Steve & Natasha scene

[caedesdeo.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fic from a few years ago, probably around the first Avengers film. Steve, Natasha and I think Clint were talking and she made a reference, either about Steve himself or possibly Tony, to the wire monkey experiments by Haslow where infant monkeys would cling to a 'mother' made of wire if there were no other comfort available. Later in the fic, they're in a group meeting/debrief of some kind and it comes up again- Steve leans over to her and mutters 'Wire monkeys, huh?' in reference to something that just got brought up.

It was on Ao3, but searching both my bookmarks and google aren't finding it.

Edit: Found in comments

There is a mention of the wire monkey in jenna_thorn's Cart, Then Horse.
