Title: Operation Christmas
Author: poppetawoppet
A Gift For: anuna_81
Rating:PG
Warnings:fluff. Crack. Fluffy crack.
Pairings:Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov, team friendship
Summary/Prompt Used: a combination of 2 and 4: Every Christmas since they met, Natasha and Clint have been fighting for their lives/injured/on a mission. This Christmas, Clint has planned to give Natasha the Christmas she never had as a child. Until something happens and the rest of the team steps in to help.
Authors Notes:I had something completely different in mind (and I may still write it) but then it was the night before the deadline and I had thirty words written and I was drinking hot chocolate and bam! I hope you enjoy this! (And somehow this ended up very Natasha-centric, so I hope you don't mind how little Blackhawk there ended up being)

Title: Come For The Espionage, Stay For The Sex
Author:andacus
A Gift For: workerbee73
Rating: R
Warnings: Sex (obviously) and language.
Pairings: Clint/Natasha
Summary/Prompt Used: Come for the espionage, stay for the sex... or maybe that's the other way around. For the prompt - Some might say it was love at first sight. Of course, it took three years before they managed to actually (officially) meet.
Authors Notes: I'm not sure how well I met the prompt, but I hope you like it. :) And thanks to my beta, who shall remain nameless for the time being.

The Red Rug
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Natasha wasn't sure why she picked out a red rug, but it fit well into her life.
Notes: For cottoncandy_bingo prompt: "red carpet." Happy holidays! I am desperately trying to finish this bingo before New Years omg. I hope you enjoy this, and feedback will be given a loving home.

Title: set fire to the third bar
Ficverse: The Avengers, AU
Series: one shot
Rating: PG
Length: 4500 ish
Characters: Clint/Natasha
Teaser: It was a strange thing, to know you were living a life that wasn't quite your own.
Notes: This basically grew out of a tangental comment to workerbee73 about what Clint would be like if he never ran away and joined the circus. And grew. And grew. And got cranky and wouldn't be finished in time for Bee's b'day (since it's mostly for her anyway), so ... Christmas, yay? Mega thanks to im_ridiculous and bitterlimetwist for taking a look and keeping me from throwing it out in frustration, and thoughtful feedback. Screw ups and weirdness all mine.
Warnings/Spoiler: AU. Clint never ran away, never became Hawkeye. Doesn't mean his path doesn't cross with a certain redhead's. Happy endings are very much in the eye of the beholder, though, so don't hold anyone's breath (unless you want to).
Disclaimer: Stuff that's not mine is not mine. Title from the song by Snow Patrol with Martha Wainwright.
Feedback: let's hear it. The good, the bad, the ugly....
