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 _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. :)

TITLE: Oxytocin and Attachment
PAIRING: Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff
RATING: PG
WORDS: 241
A/N: Inspired by sugar_fey's comments on fandom's tendency to write Natasha as a robot. That the logical thing my mind took from this is 'let's try and write Natasha as a cyborg' probably says a lot. Originally seen in sugar_fey's journal.
SUMMARY: Sometimes his heart skips, a jarring silence to her sensors that makes her own, still mostly human, slow then speed up with a hit of adrenaline.

Oxytocin and Attachment

We’ve Come Full Circle

Author: daxcat79
Rating: R
Pairing: Clint/Natasha, (past) Clint (Aaron)/Bobbi (Marta)
Crossover: Avengers/Bourne Legacy
Genre: Crossover, Drama/Angst, Romance, Humor
Warnings: Language, Non-Explicit Sex, Brief Suicidal Imagery (No Character Death), Self-Harm
Summary: My name is Valerie Barton. I was sent from the future to find a mole hidden in SHIELD’s ranks. Her name is Barbara Morse, and it’s my job to kill her.
A/N: Anything in italics is a flashback. Anything in bold is over the comm. All love and thanks goes to anuna_81 who started this story with a single conversation about Aaron Cross being Clint Barton (BECAUSE HE IS!) Please be assured, there is no Bobbi/hate in this fanfic. I adore her more than words could say! She’s totally my hero. The prequel to this fic is located here as it explains much of what's going on with the characters.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters, but I claim Valerie as my own twisted creation though….



Part Three: The Legacy

Title: Random numbers (2/?)
Type: crossover (Castle/Avengers)
Genre: crack-ish drama with elements of fluff and family and romance
Pairings: Castle/Beckett and Clint/Natasha.
Characters: everyone from Castle, everyone from Avengers.
Summary: so I was answering questions in a meme with ten random characters from stuff that I like and one question was "#2 and #6 have a child together. What's #7s reaction to this fact?" So, there's a kid, his mom is a badass lady cop, his dad is a badass archer, and #7 in the meme was Kevin Ryan.

Written because awesome enablers that I call friends asked for this. There are lovely conversations in this chapter. And you get to meet Alex :)
