Title: In No Time
Author: chrisfaithalin
A Gift For: tielan
Rating: T
Warnings: Talk of character death
Pairings: Clint/Natasha with a little background Steve/Maria
Summary/Prompt Used: These were the three prompts given. I didn’t follow any specific one completely, modifying and combining them into this story. Basically, the Avengers go out to a bar for some bonding time. Fun times and serious conversations ensue.
Prompts:
1.Clint and Natasha working together to do something non-Avengers/SHIELD related. Possibly a surprise for someone?
2.Natasha & Steve friendship, Clint & Maria Hill friendship: relationships and their complications, how they work things out, advice, or headslaps. (Also: long-lived/short-lived issues.)
3.Moments of hilarity: the sublime and ridiculous moments that come of hanging around someone for large periods of time.
Authors Notes: I normally don’t write such ensemble heavy stories so this was a little knew to me. I know I didn’t follow the prompts exactly but I really hope Tielan, and the rest of you still enjoyed it though. Feedback is always welcome.

Rating: PG-13/T
Warnings: Blood, prostitution, mind control, violent imagery, kidnapping, ableism, sexism (to qualify this list: they’re 18th century pirates. Being PC is not a priority, but I tried to keep it toned down), language, death (highlight to see how serious: minor character death, background character death), superstitions, drunken clergymen, reanimated corpses, supernatural elements.
Pairings: Miss Natasha Romanova/Seaman Clint Barton, Lady Pepper Potts/Sir Anthony Stark, Captain Steven Rogers/Miss Peggy Carter, Duke Thor of Asgard/Miss Jane Foster
Summary/Prompt Used: Tortuga, 1745. It’s been three years since they last sailed together, but when an old enemy resurfaces and takes one of their own, it’s up to the crew of the Avenging Angel to assemble and take to the high seas once more. Or: the one where everybody is a pirate except the two canonical characters with eyepatches. Drink up me ’earties, yo-ho.
Author’s Notes: To preface this entire story, I am not in any way history-oriented (I fell asleep during history classes), so there are probably a lot of anachronisms in this story. I tried to research as best I could and chose to keep dialogue closer to the twenty-first century for reading purposes. That is not to say Clint’s going to greet Natasha with "’Sup?" or anything. I would beg you to take this story in the light-hearted spirit it’s meant to be rather than a proper historical documentation of the times. Also, the title comes from a little known verse of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song, but it is not a crossover. More notes under the cut.
