Hey guys!  I don't know if you're familiar with the Alliterative Domiciles series by Vera_DragonMuse over on AO3, but if you haven't read it, get thee over there and fix that!  The first few focus on Tony/Pepper/Bruce, but Clint and Natasha have their own chapters as well.  Nothing overly graphic, but there is a bit of violence in one of the chapters.  Anyway, I wanted to make sure to rec this because Part 9, Breaking Open, was written for me for the AO3 fundraiser and I absolutely LOVE it!

Here's a link to the series on AO3:

I'm not sure just what kind of Clint/Natasha trail I was surfing, but I came across this artwork of them as lions.  Yes, LIONS.  It's fantastic and I just had to share.  The artist, TastyCoffee, has done a whole series of the Avengers as lions and there a few Clint/Natasha ones.  Check it out.

Here's a link to deviantart to my fave Clint/Natasha one:

I hope everybody has a great evening!
 
 
I've been meaning to make a rec post and several others have had the same ideas, so let's put them all in the same post! Share the coolest works you have come across lately. Be sure to include why it's so awesome, all necessary warnings, and links.

Here are my recent favs:

Oxycodone Days by Naja Melanoleuca. This is an almost frighteningly realistic take on the relationship and psychology of our two favorite assassins. The author does not include warnings, so be aware that it is fairly dark, includes past mentions of child abuse (physical and sexual), thoughts of suicide, and contains violence as well as sustained scenes of torture. EDIT: alphaflyer is also correct in pointing out that Tony seems OOC. Still excellent!

Into the Fire by Naja Melanoleuca. The sequel to Oxycodone Days, about four times as long and more violent. Together these are two of the best fics I have read in a very long time. In particular Clint is very, very in character with the MCU Clint that we all know and love. Again, very dark.

Daddy's Little Princess by TashaBlackWidow. Clint adopts a puppy. So cute! No warnings, but lots and lots of adorableness. :-)

The Golden Arrow by sneakronicity. Clint is Robin Hood. The Avengers are the Merry Men. Tasha is Maid Marian. Yep, they went there. And it's awesome. :-)

Strange Bird by CloudAtlas. Hawk!Clint. I've probably recced this before. But I just love it. :-)

So what do you recommend? Share!!
