As always, I aim not to repeat anything already posted or recced. Forgive me if I do – there’s so much wonderful floating around!

One Vision: a team vid by Grammarwoman that grows on me more each time I watch it.

One Girl Revolution: a Natasha vid by hisGrLfriday on YouTube, because there can never be too many vids of Natasha being brilliant.

Things you need to know about Hawkeye is a tumblr post from blackinkedwings that might come in handy.

Here are two Avengers snippets from recessional on dreamwidth which are a bit of fun with Clint and Natasha, if you missed them on the original comment ficathon.

Down From the Bird’s Eye View by BlackEyedGirl on AO3 (Gen, 4642 words) is listed as Clint/Coulson, but note that Gen, because this is really about Clint slotting into the team. The summary is Clint has difficulty adjusting to people he has to deal with at ground level.

may the fourth by irnan on AO3 (Gen, 1762 words) is a fun team fic in which Natasha and Clint get to fight with lightsabres. (Blame Tony.)

And Many More by arsenicjade (Gen, 5000 words) is a fic about everyone in the team getting a birthday. Ouchy, sweet, and amusing by turns.

Things Ain’t So Lonely Anymore by arsenicjade (R, violence and torture) is set in hoosierbitch’s As It Is Written verse (which I’ve previously recced) in which Clint has dyslexia. It’s brilliant to see people tackling these subjects in fic, but you may need a hanky for this one, okay.

The Dinosaur Game by emmypenny on AO3 (Teen and Up, 2645 words) will cheer you up. You know when people say that something make them laugh out loud, but they really just mean it made them smile? This is one that actually made me laugh out loud.

But I Will Hold On Hope (And I Won’t Let You Choke by Perpetual Motion on AO3 (Teen and Up, 14,875 words) is Clint/Coulson, but there’s nothing more than kissing and please don’t let that put you off meeting this Clint, who does not make life easy for his handlers when those handlers aren’t Coulson.

Phil Coulson Can’t Keep the Avengers Out of Medical is a fun and funny team fic from scifigrl47 on tumblr in 6 parts (scroll to the bottom when following the link).

And yes, and back again by irnan on AO3 (Gen, 1579 words) is another fun and funny team fic. Just read the first section if you’re only in it for the brilliant Natasha and Clint section, but the whole thing is fantastic.

I don’t want to go on missions with him anymore is a Clint/Natasha gif from slemnn-e on tumblr and you really want to read the blurb on the right that goes with it.

Have some wow fan art from hoursago on tumblr.

And finally an amusing gif from mydoctortennant on tumblr of Clint and Natasha as parents.

Plus a shout out for the new comm marvelousladies - throw some Natasha wonderfulness in their direction as well :)

Hey all, I wanted to share that cleolinda's Avengers in 15 Minutes" movie review is up... there's not really much shippiness in it, per se, but it's pretty hysterical and a fun read. My favorite C/N-relevant bit behind the cut.

I was trying to find some kind of canonic reference regarding Clint and Natasha's age, or more precisely, birth years, but I had no success. I'm familiar with their backstories in general as I picked it up at various locations around the 'net; that Clint had an abusive childhood, that his parents died in a car accident, he was in orphanage together with his brother for six years, after which they both ran away and joined circus. I'm researching for fic purposes, and I need more Clint - related details, so I would greatly appreciate any kind of help (meta, some kind of character timeline if it exists, anything - obviously I didn't read the comics, and I don't want to write something that's ridiculously far away from the canon. I'd like to stay close to canon as possible.)

Personally, I'd put Clint's age somewhere between 35 and 40, but I have no idea how accurate that might be (I'm not very good at guessing these things).

Um, that's it - help will be greatly appreciated! ♥

... AT ALL.

Srsly, nothing to see here.  Keep on moving.  Just a whole lot of squee and ridiculousness.  And lives being ruined.
