Rating/Warning/Pairings: Please see the first post for these.
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.

Title: Balance
Rating: G
Genre: Hurt/comfort
Type: One-shot
Spoilers: General spoilers for the movie.
Summary: Two months after the Battle of Manhattan, Clint and Natasha are still trying to find their footing when a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. leads them to a small Colorado town.

A/N: *waves*

I've been lurking for a while, and though I've posted fics for Clint and Nat on FF.N, I hadn't yet had a chance to move my fics over to my LJ, or to post here. The hometown challenge inspired me though, and it seemed like a good time to stop lurking. :)

Though I decided not to use the name of my hometown - I'm admittedly a little paranoid - the Colorado town described in the fic is the town I still call home.

A/N2: I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for his incredible mercy and grace.

I hope you enjoy this, and please let me know what you think!

( Balance )

Well, here it is. My very first Clintasha fic. I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome in this Bar! I'm So Excited!!! *composes self* Well what are you waiting for? I know you're not reading this because of me.

Title: Rio
Author: lifepartner96
Pairing: Clintasha :D
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None that I can think of, just hotness :) (hopefully, tehehe)
Summary: Rio de Janeiro had been full of life
Author's Note: My inspiration did come from Santana ft Char Kroger's "Into the Night". I would recommend listening to it once you hit the "Flashback" if you would like to see where my mind went. Tehehe.

( Sleep was not a reliable ally when it came to her restless body. )

Title: Train
Author: Jacedesbff
Pairing/Characters: Clint/Natasha, Clint/Bobbi
Length: 1100+ (total), Chapter 2 of 3
Rating: PG-13 for sexual situations
Notes: This was inspired by a ficlet I read forever ago in which something similar happened at a party. I have absolutely no idea where I read it or who wrote it. I've never forgotten it, though, and it led to this. If you know what/where it is, please let me know as I would love to credit the author. :D

Summary: It's like watching a train wreck. You can see it coming, but you can't do a thing to stop it.

Can the train be derailed or will it continue to its inevitable conclusion?

Chapter 2 on AO3

Best. Bar. EVER!

Title:Mend (1/2)

A Gift For: daxcat79
Rating: teen-ish
Warnings: mentions of violence, past abuse, mind manipulation and everything shady Red Room might do to one of their “assets” (and I assume, SGA Replicators aren’t much different from RR.)
Pairings: Clint/Natasha, established.
Summary/Prompt Used:crossover between Stargate and Avengers.
Authors Notes: In this universe Natasha has been injected with nanotechnology while she worked for Red Room, in order to help her body heal faster.
My dear giftee, I hope you’ll enjoy this crazy roller coaster of wackyness. I did my best to write you something exciting. It was a daunting task at times, considering how I found myself in a genre I don’t often write, but despite that I am hoping you’ll be pleased. To everyone else, I fear this fic won’t make much sense if you haven’t seen Stargate Atlantis, at least first three seasons of it (and have knowledge on the shameful way they gotten rid of their leading lady, but let’s not go into that now). But – if you do know it – I hope you’ll enjoy this crazy ride.

Title: Bang Your Head (Mental Health) (1/4)
Author: oresteia
A Gift For: kl_shipper1
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some hint of violence and psychological torture and unwanted medical procedures but it's mostly dramatic angst mixed with happy endings
Pairings: Clint/Natasha, Tony/Pepper, Jane/Thor, Team
Summary/Prompt Used:
4) Who are they, besides their job, besides the assassins they're trained to be? Show me who Clint and Natasha really are and what they do when they're not on a mission-- when they have some time to decompress and be themselves. Basically, Agent Barton and Agent Romanoff vs. Clint and Natasha.
Things I like: Banter, happy endings, deaf!Clint, team!shawarma, team antics, UST and/or RST, (romance with) reasonable amounts of angst. AUs. Movieverse. Clint showing off his musical abilities (and Natasha having them too).
I don't want to receive: Dub-con/non-con. Torture. Character death. Unhappy endings. Lots of smut. Non-C/N.
Authors Notes:
The story is kind of told in an disjointed format. It’s almost built like Memento or Pulp Fiction. The beginning gives the ending away to some extent. There’s more after the beginning but it tells it all final conclusion (that is left open ended slightly). Time jumps quickly but the story is written linear, so that none of the time jumps are so misplace that they don’t make sense. Also, this story involves Phil Coulson as a general important character. The heart of it is about Clint and Natasha but really it’s him as their third (not romantically in the least, brotherly, friendly).

Rating: PG
Warnings: Gross abuse of historical accuracy
Pairings: Clint/Natasha, Tony/Pepper
Summary/Prompt Used: Georgette Heyer Regency AU. The Dowager Duchess known as the Black Widow is the talk of the ton - rich and mysterious, the only way to meet this elusive lady is through the equally mysterious Mr Barton…
Authors Notes: There were several great prompts to choose from, and I chose by far the hardest one on the list – but I couldn’t resist! I’m a massive Georgette Heyer fan, and as soon as I saw the prompt I had to do it. What a fool! I’m sorry it’s so late… and so long! It seems I’m incapable of brevity. It’s probably not what you were expecting when you thought up the prompt, but I hope you like it anyway, and that you had a lovely Christmas and that 2013 is going great for you so far. :-)

( Soiree )

*koff*   *koff*

Um, is this thing on? *taps mike on the kareoke stage*

*SQUEAL!*   Ooops, sorry! Guess it is!

Hello, everybody! Welcome to the first All Things Friday hosted by Me - Vanessa, AKA TaleWeaver. I hope the time zone thing hasn't confused everyone? It's Friday evening down here in Australia, anyway. Is everyone feeling the love in this bar tonight?

*roar rattles the windows*

Wow, we've got a ton of great people around here! But then, we all know this is the very best bar!

Anyway, tonight's topic... well, it's pretty obviously inspired by the awesome Secret Santa that's been running around here. (hey, I think Koren M's still got a few presents left to hand out, even!) And it is still technically the twelve days of Christmas, so today's topic is....

What kind of things do they give each other?
Ranging from the practical, to the sentimental (for them), to the stuff that makes Coulson facepalm once he’s out of sight behind a closed door.

What occasions are gifts given for?
Do they get hustled into the Helicarrier Secret Santa (where everyone dreads getting Nick Fury, because they always wind up getting him something black)? Do they get each other birthday presents, or to celebrate the anniversary of the day they met / their first mission together / first kissed / XXX / 50th time one of them saved the other's life / admitted in public they were married? Or is their gift giving of the sporadic but constant 'I was hiding out from a hit squad in Paris, found this in a little shop on the Left Bank, thought you'd like it' variety?

Have they ever done the 'couple' thing and joined forces to give a present to someone else?
Maybe Coulson found a wheelchair with 'Agent on Board' on the back and holsters for guns, coffee and paperwork along the sides waiting for him once he was out of MedBay for that nasty stab wound? Has Colonel Fury found an anonymous package on his desk, and opened it to find a collection of eyepatches decorated according to holiday themes? (ie a heart for Valentine's Day, a four-leaf clover for St Patrick's Day, a skull and crossbones for International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and so on). Did Tony get a box of pamphlets for erectile dysfunction aides the first April Fool's Day after Natalie Rushman started working for him? Or did a former head of the KGB get a rocket-launched grenade down his chimney on the anniversary of the day Nat escaped the Red Room?

Heck, you could even write / rec something about how difficult they are to shop for!
