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. :)

Hi there! Welcome! So glad to have you here. This ship is life-ruining and this bar is life-ruining, but all in the best possible way. :)

As for recs, searching the tags is a pretty good place to start. We've tried to be pretty detailed to help you find whatever category you might be looking for.

As for the dark!fic categories you mentioned, I can't thinkn of any of those off the top of my head other than fics that cover the fallout from Clint and the Loki stuff. Check

For darker themes, [livejournal.com profile] bob5fic uses a lot of different ones in her work and does a brillaint job with them. [livejournal.com profile] alwaysenduphere wrote an excellent serial killer AU for the promptathon (check the promptathon masterlist, and we fif a fic-rec friday post for dark fic here:
