Heyy! I'm your host today for this Friday's round of All The Things! So, today we're going for ALL THE AVENGERS.

So obviously, we all love Clint and Natasha being badass and competent together; swanning all over the world and being awesome. But they are, of course, part of a larger organisation (SHIELD) and part of the Avengers to boot. So, how do they get on with all these different people? Do Clint and Tony enjoy annoying the hell out of everyone? Does Natasha find every second sentence out of Darcy’s mouth vaguely baffling? Let us know!

So! Today I want one of two things from you lovely people:

> Thoughts and headcanons on who Clint and Natasha would/n't get on with (Avengers and SHIELD) and why, and...
> Recs of stories showcasing the best of Clint and Natasha’s relationship with others (SHIELD or Avengers)!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

( Here's my two cents (why do I use that phrase I'm British) )

And some Recs of Fabulousness (in my opinion)
(And if no one's noticed, I'm totally doing this because I NEED MORE TEAM FIC IN MY LIFE PEOPLE)

Aggie2011's Vantage Point Universe
[ ff.net | Clint/Natasha, Pepper/Tony | R | A LOT OF WORDS | 17 stories so far | warnings: sex and violence, basically; see each story for specific warnings ]
A universe revolving around Hawkeye/Clint Barton, from his circus origins, through the army, his year as a contract assassin, being picked up and working for SHIELD and eventually his time with the Avengers.

This is the universe I base a great deal of my Clint and Coulson interaction off (basically all the stories), and my Clint and Tony interaction (Trust). I also like Clint’s interactions with Bruce and Steve (Arrow Man) and with the whole team later on (Vantage Point onwards). No disrespect to the author, but I find her platonic relationships more believable than her romantic ones. However, if you like Clint and you like mission fics, here’s a good way of spending a whole bunch of hours. :D

Skies Over Manhattan by alphaflyer
[ AO3 | Clint/Natasha, Pepper/Tony, Thor/Jane | 32,000 | warnings: the aftermath of mind control ]
Two master assassins, a demi-god, a super soldier, a man with breath-taking anger management issues and a billionaire in a flying suit. They're supposed to be on the same team.

OK this is the story of fabulousness that I use for the bench mark of everyone’s interactions with everyone else. Ever. Because alphaflyer, the wonderful person she is, somehow wrote everyone exactly how I wanted them. Kudos to you!

Also because of this: She has learned over the years that Clint never gets drunk – too many shitty memories associated with that concept. But when he’s relaxed, his inner juvenile delinquent comes out and he likes to fuck with people’s serenity, just to see what they do. Can I have 100 stories about exactly this please?

( and some more )

As an aside, does anyone know of an Avengers genfic comm? Pretty please?
