ART: Wild Horses & Head vs. Heart (for earlofcardigans) - PG  
Titles: Wild Horses, Head vs. Heart
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] kl_shipper1
A Gift For: [livejournal.com profile] earlofcardigans
Rating: PG, at most
Warnings: none
Pairings: Clint/Natasha, none (respectively)
Brief Description/Prompt Used: Wild Horses: I love all the tropes where people age regress for any reason./I love all AUs. Pretty much your typical high school AU. When Natasha Romanova becomes the new student at the high school Clint Barton attends, the two immediately connect, and eventually form a deep friendship.
Head vs. Heart: I want to read about Natasha leading a mission and being so much more than a competent killer. In which pre-S.H.I.E.L.D. Natasha shows emotion on a mission gone sideways and saves a child/children from the destruction left behind in the aftermath. Could this be what convinces Clint to make a different call?
Author's Notes: Just that I hope the graphics fit the prompts the way you intended. And that Head vs. Heart was supposed to actually show Natasha doing the saving, but pictures were not cooperating, so I'm hoping the summary was enough to convey that little detail. Also, this is non gift-related, but I really enjoyed this whole exchange and hope we do this again for the holidays next year!

OMT. These are both brilliant. The high school one in particular is FABULOUS! I have developed a serious love of high school AUs and it's amazing to see a glimpse of what they might actually look like at that age. HELLO!!! LOVE IT!!!

Thank you so much!! Like you, I really love the high school AUs, so it was definitely a lot of fun making that particular graphic!

I really like the burning buildings in the second one. That's such a nice touch.

Also, baby!Renner makes me think of all of the regrettable movies I watched in the 90s with stoners in them. And high school.

The burning buildings were something I could see in my head, but couldn't get to translate to the image quite the way I was seeing it, so I'm glad you mentioned that as something you liked!

And yes to the baby!Renner part! :D

You're welcome! I'm so glad that the high school AU worked for you because I wasn't really sure how well it fit the prompts you gave me, but as long as you're satisfied with the end result, so am I. And of course, thank you for the feedback!

:D The prompts were just guidelines, right? :D I think you did great. I saved them both for future use as backgrounds or wallpapers or something!

Love the angles in the first one, with the leaning heads, the lines, the words at a slant. Kind of High School is a tightrope, or not a straight line, or what have you. And the second, with the logo and the burning houses, the difference between poised Natasha below and definitely less than poised Natasha above <3
