Title: Adagio, allegro
Fandom: The Avengers 2012
Pairing: Clint/Natasha
Rating: mild R, just to stay on the safe side
Genre: AU, romance
Warnings: none, except for my basic knowledge about music and instruments. I hope I didn't write something horribly wrong.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. I'm pretty sure they own me, though.
Author's notes: written really quickly, for my writing buddy ashen_key, who loves AUs, music and cellos. Partly inspired by one of the prompts she gave me ("rain"), and much more by this particular song, 2Cellos and their music. So I wrote an AU in which Clint and Natasha are cellists who play amazing things together. (Dear Ashie, I hope that's okay. *huggles*)

Summary: She was worried things between them would change in a way that would ruin what they share between their cellos on stage. She was right about the change, but nothing feels ruined.

Read it on LJ or on AO3. Feedback is always loved :)

It was a close one this month, but by one vote Banner One by daxcat79 is June's banner for the top of the comm! I can reveal that Banner Two and Four were by jacedesbff and Banner Three by endeni. Thank you for the pretties!

Read on if you'd like to join in for July...

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).

July's Challenge: It's Independence Day in the US, the home of the Avengers, so for this month we're giving our assassins some solo time - you're challenged to make a banner with the focus being on EITHER Clint OR Natasha. The other assassin needs to be on their somewhere, but they're not the focus, either on the background or in the thoughts of who you're chosen to take point. (And since you can make up to three banners, why not take a shot at both?)

July Deadline: You have until Sunday 23rd June 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 :)
