Today's unfinished fic is from our friend [livejournal.com profile] lar_laughs, who says:

Once upon a time, this was meant to be the third portion the New Mexico State of Mind 'verse. This was written quite a few months ago and I'm just not sure what I think of this idea any more. Mostly, I have no idea why Clint would go back to the circus.

(Remember, submit your unfinished snippets of >1000 words to bc.unfinished@gmail.com!)

Title: To an Outside Observer (1/?)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] anillogicalmind
Rating: M - For mature themes, but nothing graphic.
Warnings: Allusions to sex and violence of the assassin variety.
Characters:
Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Bobbi Morse, Phil Coulson (later)

Summary: This is the story of two people who don't have a clue, and aren't particularly keen on looking for answers.

A/N Absolutely mahoosive thanks and all the love to [livejournal.com profile] im_ridiculous who has been ridiculously (eheh) patient and generally wonderful throughout this process and helped me to turn this something people MIGHT just want to read. And also to [livejournal.com profile] lar_laughswho was such a great help at the start of this thing.
Eh, at least I'm having fun. I hope whoever reads this enjoys it too :)



To an outside observer, the young couple making their way across the crowded room was a perfect cliché.

He was handsome, she was beautiful. They appeared to exist within the perfect synchronization that comes from being utterly absorbed in one another, sparing glances around the room only to whisper another hushed comment into the other’s ear; earning a smile, possibly a laugh, a brush of the lips against a cheek.

To an outside observer, the young couple making their way across the crowded room was in love.

To those with a high enough security clearance, the young couple could be identified as SHIELD Agents Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, on their first partnered mission since Barton had brought Romanoff into the secure SHIELD facility six months prior.

And as for being in love?

Title: The Woman in the Crosshairs
Author/Artist: [livejournal.com profile] frea_o
Pairing: Clint/Natasha (if you squint), Thor/Jane, Darcy/OMC
Rating: PG-13 for some language and a little violence
Warnings: Mentions of abuse, and mind control
Spoilers: All the movies, I guess, plus the Iron Man 3 trailer, sort of.
Type: Really long one-shot, complete
Word Count: 12,182 words
Summary: In which Clint has a new hobby and Natasha isn't curious, until she is. Black Widow and Hawkeye, their partnership—and what it means—throughout the years.

This is my first attempt to try writing overt Clint/Natasha romance, and of course it ran over 10,000 words as I tried to fit everything in. People have assured me it’s sweet and funny. It covers from beginning days of SHIELD to about a year after the Chitauri attack. Natasha tries to come to terms with everything. Sometimes she's even successful!

Hello, hello -- I come bearing gifts. Since my actual writing-brain is off on vacation and drinking umbrella drinks without me, I stopped fighting with it and sat down and pulled together all the fic I'd read and loved over the spring and summer and, since a fair amount of it is Clint/Natasha, I thought I'd share here, too.

Disclaimerish: These are things that made me chairdance and/or clap my hand over my mouth with glee by the time I finished, by no means complete or comprehensive, just what made me happy. (Also, I tend to run behind in my reading, so my list of bookmarks that I haven't had the pleasure of kicking back and reading just yet is also extensive. Too much fic: such a hardship!)

(Caveat: I do read all kinds of pairings and ratings and scenarios, so please check author warnings and notes for further information about anything I'm linking to.)

All of these posts (links go to my DW acct as I flock my LJ) have at least a two or more Clint/Natasha stories or vids, and many of them have Clint/Natasha/Phil and/or some of my favorite gen/team stories:

Given it's the next MCU instalment (and Tony's one of Natasha and Clint's Avenger!teammates, and we're playing in this world, etc.), I thought it relevant to our interests ;-)

So, if anyone hasn't seen yet:



Thoughts?
