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. :)

I think at the moment I slightly pretend he doesn't exist <.< HE JUST CONVENIENTLY NEVER COMES UP.Because I'm not sure what to do with a character who seems designed to give Clint An Angsty Past (instead of merely a shady, kinda messed up one.) I think in my head, if there is a Barney, he and Clint are merely estranged. I think. *pokes at them*

Then again, I still have Clint's dad being alive, just in prison, so, ehhhh for comic!background. It can be picked and tasty morsels selected, and the rest ignored. At least how I run with writing for the movies.

(Unless I decide that Barney-as-younger-brother should go and turn into Jason Walsh when he and Clint got separated in the social system. Admittedly I've never written that. But I have it as a theory)
