Title: 5 Times Natasha and Clint Kissed + 1 Time It Produced a Miracle
Author: jacedesbff
A Gift For: frea_o
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Pairings: Clint/Natasha
Summary/Prompt Used:
> > My request: I think those five times so-and-so did something and 1 time they didn't/Other So-and-So did instead are some of the cleverest writing I've ever seen, so something in that nature would be amazing. Dealers choice about the situation because no specific request is coming to mind.

> > A fic where both Clint and Natasha take it upon themselves to lend Steve a hand in acclimating to the 21st century. Again, bonus points if they give him conflicting advice and confusing him. I love a good friendship fic, with Steve especially.

> > Things I like: Bantering is my biggest weakness, and flantering (flirting/bantering) kills me dead. Another weakness is competent characters going out, kicking ass, and taking names. I like a strong romance without too much sap. Chill!Clint makes me laugh. Huge fan of a well-written Maria Hill, too. Go weak in the knees every time a fic passes the Bechdel Test. Love a good plot twist and an unreliable narrator, good action scenes, and better dialogue.

> > I don't want to receive: Dark, dub-con, rape, angst, smut, Loki as anything but a villain, lots of swearing (some is okay, but I prefer it spiced for effect rather than volume), slash, intense jealousy, anything crossed over with anything Moffat has ever touched.

Authors Notes: Not sure how well I addressed the specifics, but I did try!! This was lots of fun to write. I hope you like!!!

Title: all this devotion

Rating: R
Warnings: none
Pairings: Clint/Natasha
Summary/Prompt Used: Clint loses his hearing after the Avengers respond to an alien invasion. It leaves him feeling off balance until he finds a stray dog who, as it happens, is also deaf. Prompt: Strays - as in one of the pair brings home a stray or three. Can be an raggedy pet or an abandoned child or whatever else you want it to. I just want to see the reluctant rescue and their buried hearts coming to life for it if that makes sense.
Authors Notes: Happy holidays, hiddencait! I absolutely loved this prompt of yours and I also tried to stick in as many things off your like list as I could. Please excuse me if I got any of the medical information glaringly wrong, unlike Tony and Bruce, I am not a sciency person.

Title: Comfort and Joy
Author: always_a_queen
A Gift For: inkvoices
Rating: PG
Warnings: Implied sexytimes, mild language.
Pairings: Clint/Natahsa, Thor/Jane, Tony/Pepper, and (overt hints of Steve/Maria)
Summary/Prompt Used: Prompt: 'Tis The Season: Clint and Natasha (and the whole team) and the holiday season. Or: The Avengers celebrate Christmas and everyone gives Natasha unwarranted advise about her love life.
Authors Notes: This is the result of listening to way too much Christmas music on Pandora. Also, in my headcanon Steve is Catholic. I have no idea if this is canon compliant or not. If it's not, my apologies.

Sorry for how late I got the fics up tonight, all. I was ambushed by a last-minute family holiday dinner with the out of town relatives and didn't in until late. I'll try to do better tomorrow, I promise! Enjoy the fic! :D
