AUs wanted!  
This is highly unorthodox of me (but hopefully not inappropriate) to be posting so very publicly. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I've been on some sort of an AU kick recently. It's all because of [livejournal.com profile] sarea_okelanis awesome campAU Wet Hot Avengers Summer http://sarea-okelani.livejournal.com/407093.html (I don't know how to make the title a link ): . I've been scouring this bar as well as AO3 for more AUs but it's proving difficult to find ones to my liking since up until very recently, I didn't really like AUs at all. All I seem to find are variations on the theme of superspies and assassins. Which is fine but not what I want.

So what I want is for you, fellow shippers, to give me links. I don't care what the AU world is as long as it's got Clint and Natasha in love by the end of it. With each other. I'm sure many of you are far more organised than me and have actually bookmarked stories you like or can remember if something you've written fits into my description of what I want to read. 

Also whats the policy on prompts here? Cause my head is filled with stuff I want to see our lovely OTP in but I lack the ability to write those stories myself.

Bows and Catapults (http://archiveofourown.org/works/499158) is one of my favorite AUs, wherein Clint and Natasha meet as two orphaned children.

I'm just reading Naked Pantomime in the Dark and it's really good!

Thank you very much! That one is really special to me, and I love that so many people enjoy it. :D

I read it today as well and I love it! I can't even say how much <3 It is beautifully written and evokes so many feels, I was really glad I wore waterproof mascara :D

And the one you recced is lovely as well, it almost caused another mascara melting moment ;)

Did I mention that one of my students figured out my online fangirl identity from my comments to "Naked Pantomime"?? HA! If I did, pardon me for going on about it again. We still joke about - fortunately she's one of my hardcore Drama kids and has been kind enough not to share Ms. G's secret identity. :D I find it pretty funny. LOL

I thought that might happen. :D

I'm glad she's keeping your secret.

Yeah, me, too. I also knew that she would be the most likely one to figure it out. She's playing Mary Warren in The Crucible, Helen Keller in the Miracle Worker and is designing all of our sets this year. I wasn't too concerned. :D

I also promised her that my graduation gift would be an invite to join AO3, which made her universe. :-)

So I just finished with the whole series and you should definitely write more. Absolutely. That's all that needs to be said on the subject.

Thank you!

I would love to write more in that verse, but I don't have much more to say, unfortunately. Plus, my "to write" list is long and expansive.

Read Bows and Catapults last night and it was super good. Thanks for recommending it!
