Hawkeye did start off as a bad guy, and has history with Black Widow.
Based only on Wikipedia, it looks like he was intended to end up as a good guy from the beginning

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I will take after Jesse and now refer to him as my boyfriend, Hawkeye.
MINE. I have had a long-stated Jeremy Renner thing for a long time, which makes it something of long standing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep thinking that if I look hard enough I'll see Finnick, but then again, I'm trying to not look hard at all.
Help.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is this bit of information, and the way that it seems to victimize Hepburn, the reason that Tracy leaves me cold? Or is it that he’s too Country Club Dad? Is it the gruffness? Is it the simple and stunning fact that he is not Cary Grant? Or somehow not equal to Hepburn? Because here’s where my desire to hold Hepburn as a paragon of feminist self-respect runs into a roadblock: how could she do this to herself? It sticks in my craw that Tracy was too bound by religious ideologies to divorce his wife and publicly own his relationship with Hepburn. Not because religious ideology is necessarily stupid, but because Tracy was so flagrantly breaking the spirit, if not the letter, of his religion’s law. Am I assuming that Hepburn was blinded by love, and thus put up with the shit that Tracy brought her way? That she settled?
Recent biographies make clear that (a) Tracy was gay, tormented by it because of his Catholicism, loved Katherine, but they probably weren't having the passionate sex all the time; and (b) she was having liaisons with woman, and also propping him up. They had a complex relationship. Loved each other, but being lovers in the conventional sense probably wasn't at the core of it. More that they were very simpatico, trusted each other and could be themselves in the relationship.
They weren't the only Hollywood couple to do this trick, Barbara Stanwyck's marriage to Robert Taylor was built along the same lines.

I've always liked to think that they way they look at each other at the end of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? is at least somewhat a reflection of the way they thought of each other.

Oh, I totally think they were in love with each other and that look of deep affection and respect they have in that scene is real.
