NaNoWriMo Clint/Natasha Support Thread

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

A bunch of us are doing NaNoWriMo this year, so I asked the Best Bartenders of the Best Bar how they'd feel about doing a thread where we can talk about our stories, ask for (and give!) prompts, work out plot-holes, flail, and talk about how much we hate our lives and oh G-d what were we thinking. (Although that last might just be me.)

They graciously gave permission, and Lo! this thread was born.

Here's what I have in mind:

1. Comment with a brief synopsis of a scene, chapter, or heck your whole novel. Feel free to ask for prompts, for help with a plot point, or just to ask someone to pet your head and tell you it will be okay. Whatever you want or need -- this is your support thread.

2. Comment and offer prompts or support to your fellow writers!

3. Lather, rinse, repeat.

NOTE! You absolutely don't have to be doing NaNoWriMo to play! If you are working on any fic, feel free to post for prompts or help if you'd like. And absolutely anyone and everyone can offer prompts, help, meta or discussion.

MODS: THANK YOU! And please fix the tags if they need fixed?

I feel like right now I have both too many ideas and not enough. I know I'm writing Clint/Natasha, and I mostly want to work on things for the same universe that Shot in the Dark and Compromised are in... but I have so many fics that I'm in the middle of, and so many different places it could go.

And frankly? None of them are reaching out and grabbing me right now. I want/need and idea that will run away with me, so I'm definitely open to prompts right now.

And also pats on the head. Guh.

*pats on the head*

As for prompts. Clint/ Natasha, Avengers or just prompts in general?

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

:D

Oh, what the heck, any of them, I suppose. C/N tend to talk to me the most, but I also have a heck of a lot of Darcy and Betty feels - and can probably write most any of them if I put my mind to it?

BETTY FIC.

There is such a sad lack of Betty, and she's so fierce underneath her niceness. She needs way, way, way more love than fandom give her.

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

I could do Betty fic. Anything in particular in mind?

[ashen_key]

Everything

*coughs*

I am curious about her...without Bruce, if that makes sense? Not to say set in the period when he is on the run (it can be whenever), but Betty in her own right as a person and as a driven, brilliant scientist, with her own life and her own motivations.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea! It would be great to see her living her own life.

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Yes!

Random prompts of random:

Avengers fic! Fic where Darcy takes over the world by accident (or did she?). A fic with 63!Tony, Betty and Jane being science sisters? Any fic with 63!Tony, who is snarky and vulnerable and flawless?

For a Clint/ Natasha fluffy prompt, there are tattoos out there that are invisible except under blacklight. As sneaky assassins they decide to get those. What do they get them of? Where? Do they get discovered at in an undercover mission at the worst possible moment?

And for angst, Natasha is horrifically disfigured on a mission (or maybe in a really banal way, car crash?) and thinks that Clint won't love her anymore. Does he prove her wrong?

DARCY TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

ZOMG I HAVE SO MANY FEELS ABOUT THEM AND TATTOOS!!!!!!!!!

Hey there!

I've read a lot of Clint/Natasha fic that mentions her deprogramming once she comes to SHIELD, but haven't come across anything that really goes into detail about what that process might have been. I kinda see this as a time where the first fragile bonds of trust between Clint and Natasha form, he's there for her in some way during the deprogramming. So maybe a fic that takes a look at the first year (or so?) of her time with SHIELD and how they come to trust one another? And one of my favorite scenes in any Clint/Natasha fic I've read is the one in Compromised where Natasha falls apart and all Clint can do is hold her while she shakes, so maybe we could see the first time she lets that happen -- that she can fall apart because she finally trusts him.

Although, I'll make the offer to bear your children if you would continue with Brown and Gold -- you know, just throwing that out there. =D

I put a list of prompts down below. Do any of those work? Do you need something more specific?

(I made that icon JUST FOR YOU)

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

WAH!!! :D I <3 IT!

Also, I threw the coffee throwing prompt at kadollan since she's writing Darcy and it sounds just like something Darcy would say!

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

She really would.

Remind me tomorrow night to pick that back up. Unless I'm still writing Clint and Steve's Awkward Conversation.
