Fanon Cliche Day!  
Welcome to another edition of "ZOMG We Made it to the End of Another Week Hallelujah Amen We Should Really Do Something to Celebrate whether in Squee, Rec or Meta Form" Friday. (Admittedly, we're still working out the title issues-- a poll might need to be involved.)

Last week, we did UST recs and comment fics. This week we are talking fanon cliches (ie, Natasha + vodka, Clint + bourbon/whisky, Clint in the air ducts, Hawkeye + nest jokes, "I'm too old for you!", Natasha's love of tea, Natasha and books, sparring as substitute for making out,etc.) What are your favorites? Got any recs? Share them with the class! (And mucho thanks to [livejournal.com profile] _samalander for coming up with this excellent idea!)

Oh-- also? **puts on mod hat for a sec**

A word to the wise: We love cliches around here. Nothing but love. So no bashing, m'kay? Everything (and everyone) should have a sense of humor, and this post is to celebrate those things we see in fic and fanwork that we love and enjoy, that make us giggle or grin, that have worked their way into the fanon consciousness at large. There's always room for discussion and debate and glorious thinky thoughts, but keep it positive and affirming, in the spirit of polite anarchy that reigns over this bar.

**takes off hat**

All right then. Go forth and play. And a very happy Friday, y'all. :)

Ahhh that definitely makes sense-both are such strong personalities that I'm fairly certain it's impossible NOT to fall for one or the other or both lol

I think I'm kind of the middle ground-- i just love them both so much and only want them with each other. but i can totally, TOTALLY understand coming at it from different angles too.

Also makes sense - I think for me I was reading after the like... 5 second Clint and Coulson moment in Thor. So I was lured to the slash side long before Avengers came out and bowled me over with the awesome chemistry between them. Before that Tasha was badass but totally on her own if not with Fury of all people lol terrifying though that might be.
