Title: Some nights
Fandom: The Avengers 2012, Iron Man 3 (MCU)
Characters: Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff
Pairing: Clint/Natasha and implied Tony/Pepper
Genre: drama, introspection, romance. Tony and Clint friendship.
Rating: PG – 13
Spoilers: for Iron Man 3
Warnings: vague mentions of PTSD, panic attacks and other post – traumatic symptoms. Unbeta'd for now.

Summary: Tony and Clint are fixing things (well, a car), shortly after events of IM3.

“I make things. Or... fix things,” he said and nodded towards the car, then looked at Clint. “That's harder than being inside the suit,” he said, looking straight ahead again. “Because fixing something is a risk. It can work out, or it can fail.”

Disclaimer: they belong to Marvel, and my heart belongs to them. The title and quoted lyrics belong to Fun.

Author's notes: written really quickly in honor of anna_sg1's birthday; and filled with general Supernatural references. BECAUSE OF REASONS. (Also, I hope I didn't commit fail there!) Bear in mind that I don't know how to fix cars, so I hope I didn't mess this up when it comes to car fixing part. (I did consult my husband who has a clue or two). Also, there's a small, tiny reference to Captain America 2, and it concerns something in Natasha's possession. If you're on tumblr, you probably ran across that detail. (How that object came to be in Natasha's possession is purely my imagination.)

For our May Community Challenge it was a battle between steamy and geeky, and I can now reveal that this time geeky was the mood of the bar *grins* and our new banner is from laughtersmelody! Banner Two with its steamy goodness was by endeni :)

Are you all ready for the June Challenge?

Here’s how the banner challenge works: we set you a theme on the first of each month. People then make banners and comment with them to that month’s post – all comments will be screened; comments without banners in them will then be unscreened. (I can’t reply to the comments with banners in them without unscreening them, so anything you want a response to needs to be in a separate comment.) Banners will then all be saved to the community’s photobucket, so don’t worry about hotlinking or broken links. There will be a limit for sending banners in, something like two to three weeks. Then we’ll post all of the banners anonymously and everyone in the community can vote for their favourite (including the makers, but you do only get one vote each). That new banner is then our banner for the following month. Hopefully we’ll keep enough interest to be able to this monthly!

The Rules:
1) Everyone is invited to play, seriously, everyone, the more the merrier!
2) Banners must be safe for work.
3) Banners must have a width of 800 and a height of 350 and preferably be a png or jpg file.
4) We will make your banners anonymous, so please don’t tell or show anyone what you’ve made. Once the winner has been chosen though you’re free to share your banner wherever you like. (So, for example, if you make a banner for April’s challenge you’ll be free to do whatever you like with it from April 1st.)
5) When new films come out (Iron Man 3, Thor 2) please don’t use images from those until we say it’s safe so no one gets spoiled!
6) You can submit no more than 3 banners (for now).

June’s Challenge: We have the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day in the Southern Hemisphere on June 21st – we will have made it halfway through the year, go us :D And so this month’s challenge is around use of space: you can either fill the entire banner space with an image/images, using all of the available space, or you can do a negative space effect, with a tiny amount of the banner being image and the rest blank/a stylistic background/text/what have you. (Or, since you can make up to three banners you could take a shot at both!)

June Deadline: You have until Sunday 26th May to comment to this post with your banners or links to your banners.

As stated, all comments to this post will be screened. Comments that don’t contain banners will be unscreened. So feel free to post banners, ask questions, give us feedback, and all that jazz :)

The Subconscious Speaks Volumes

Author: daxcat79
Rating: M
Pairing: Loki/Darcy, Clint/Natasha, Tony/Pepper, Thor/Jane (and believe it or not, every pairing get's a moment to shine)
Genre: Romance, Action/Adventure, Drama, Angst, Humor
Warning: Sexual Content, Language
Summary: SHIELD finds an artifact, once the treasure of the dream goddess Nott (Niorun). When Darcy Lewis activates it unintentionally there’s only one person that can release her from it’s hold… Loki.
A/N: So I have this posted of FF.Net and AO3, and is mostly complete, but I thought I'd start posting the chapters here too since I post all my other stories here. I hope you guys like it. I kinda worked pretty hard on this one. This story takes place about three months after “The Avengers.” I used Norse Mythology to suit my interests. Stole a lot of this storyline from an episode of “Heroes” and the movie “Inception.”
A/N(2): Although this is dominantly a Darcy/Loki fic, there's a whole lot of storyline for our special spies. Especially considering Clint has to deal with facing Loki again, so I posted it here. I'm just sayin'....
Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to these characters. I'm just using them for my own amusement.
