Title: Meth & Massage
Rating: PG-13 (themes - drugs, prostitution, assassination)
Wordcount: ~1000

Inspired by dictator_duck's call to write fics set in our hometowns. As I am from Conyers, GA, a suburb east of Atlanta, and I work in Monroe, that explains the locales found here. Check out the notes at the end for more information on the booming criminal underground actually operating in both places. *snortlaughs* Not beta'd, this is short and meant to show a quick, fun look at a mission in the southern United States. :D

( Um, some of the stereotypes are there for a reason. Just sayin', y'all. )

Names changed b/c, um, it seemed prudent. :D

Title: Home

Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~2400
Pairings: Natasha/Clint
Summary: In the aftermath of New York, Clint and Natasha journey home.
Authors Notes: Inspired by dictator_duck's prompt to write a story incorporating our hometown. While Ellensburg, Wa is not my hometown, I've lived here now for numerous years as a college student. It's a really cool college town that is really mellow and chill, if that makes sense. I love this town and this story kind of started out as a love letter to the town and morphed into angsty exploration of post-New York Clint and Natasha feels. I wrote it in one sitting, yay for insomnia, and would love feedback on this one. It's a different kind of story than I normally write, which made it an interesting exercise in writing. Also this is 1st person pov, which I don't often write and I know there are next to no stories in 1st person in this fandom so I hope that doesn't put people off the story., Un-beta'd.

Rating: Explicit
Summary: She closed her eyes and imagined that she could feel the energy crackling between them like a physical touch.
Notes:For cottoncandy_bingo Round One. Omg, I am almost finished with my bingo. Feedback is appreciated!

B_C, I issued you a challenge yesterday, and you do not disappoint.

We now have four fics (!) in roughly 24 hours (!!), and frea_o has built a home for these at Ao3 in this collection at Ao3!

...I'm still stuck in the planning stage, haha -- don't feel overwhelmed if you want to write one and haven't yet! :D This is going to go for as long as people are writing them. \o/ All the fics.

Also, if you are not on Ao3 but want to post to the collection, lemme know and I'll see what I can do. For... reasons? I don't want to say anything, because it'll feel like a promise (in writing!), and I have no grounds to make any. But on the *staring at the collection so all fics that want to be in it can be* front.

Title: Meet Me in the Aftermath
Author: lar_laughs
A Gift For: allisnow
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: angst, reference to canonical death
Pairings: Clint/Natasha
Summary/Prompt Used: This is the story of the road trip Natasha and Clint took across the country after helping save the world from being overrun with ugly creatures from space. It’s also the story of how Clint came to terms with the fact that he was responsible for the death of a friend. It is, thankfully, not a story of how Tony came to own the Bellagio. We shall save that for another adventure.
Authors Notes: So many thanks to H for looking over this multiple times while I had countless meltdowns and holding my hand until I wasn’t quite so wibbly-wobbly. A huge thanks to A for helping get this idea off the ground and then sweeping in to fix my tense errors (of which there were legion) when it was done. If you are familiar with FRIENDS, you will notice a few references from “The One With Joey’s Big Break” and “The One in Vegas”. The title is taken from the Lifehouse song “Aftermath”.
