Title: Wheel of Fortune (Chapter 1 and 2)
Author: shenshen77
A Gift For: [livejournal.com profile] crazy4orcas
Rating: PG
Warnings: None so far, will add as I progress.
Prompt used: Treasure Hunters AU
Summary: A pyramid in the middle of Croatia in 1943? You have got to be kidding. Add a mythical cannon wheel that will grant its owner success in all combat situations, Nazis, Soviets and a beautiful redhead hot on its heels - Not a good day for Clint "Hawkeye" Barton, adjunct professor of archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis.
Author Notes: My dear [livejournal.com profile] crazy4orcas asked for a Treasure Hunters AU and my mind immediately leapt to Indiana Jones. Add to that a rumor I heard about pyramids in what is now Bosnia and my imagination went on the run. Unfortunately it ran further than my time allowed, so only the first two chapters of the fic are done so far. But I'll add more asap, promise!
Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hufflepuffsneak for brainstorming and beta, [livejournal.com profile] frea_o for more brainstorming and [livejournal.com profile] the_nita for a final readthrough. All credits for the title go to [livejournal.com profile] restingface.

Title: Homeward Bound:  The Adventures of the USS Avenger in the Delta Quadrant
Author: alphaflyer
A Gift For: celeste9
Rating:  Teen
Warnings: None (some off-screen death and movie-level cataclysms
Prompt used: "I really, really love team fic, so please feel free to include any other characters you like. I enjoy clever AUs where the characters still remain recognizable in different circumstances..." And here was the ringer, the thing that made me jump at Celeste's prompt: Star Trek fusion with Clint and Natasha in Starfleet. How could I resist...
Summary: Sent to track the rebel ship Black Widow and to try and persuade her captain and certain of her crew members to work with Starfleet in defeating the Chitauri invaders, the USS Avenger under Captain S. Rogers finds itself displaced to the other side of the galaxy.
Author Notes: This prompt was a no-brainer for me, since I already had my cast of AU characters all lined up thanks to a request I picked up during last year's December Talking Meme. Plus, my first two years in fandom I wrote exclusively for Star Trek: Voyager, so... :-)

Of course, though, I would pick a topic that begs to be a $#%&ing epic, in a summer when RL is kicking me in the teeth with, among other things, a transatlantic move.  Needless to say, the epic did not happen.  But I think I got enough of the story together to give my giftee a sense of where it is headed (with a bit of interim closure) -- and there's a promise that there will be more to come!! (Right after I get my MarvelBang under some kind of control...) I hope, Celeste, you can forgive me that this isn't complete -- and that you enjoy the direction it is taking.  Me, I'm just happy that I managed to slide in under the wire...

Title: Not With A Bang
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sugar_fey
A Gift For: [livejournal.com profile] franztastisch
Rating: Teen
Warnings: allusions to violence, post-apocalyptic setting, Kate/America side pairing.
Prompt used: 'Mad Max AU' and 'bleak post-apocalypse'
Summary:


Kate asked him once, for his memories of what came before. A child of the Dust, she longs for her generation’s fairy stories.

But all Clint has to offer her is noise; the fury of the blast that took his left ear, and the roar of the chaos that followed.

Clint meets Natasha at the end of the world.



Author Notes: The prompts included 'Mad Max AU' and 'bleak post-apocalypse, so it ended up being a Mad Max inspired post-apocalyptic AU with bonus Kate/America. :P

Title: these are the days
Author: [livejournal.com profile] inkvoices
A Gift For: [livejournal.com profile] krilymcc
Rating: PG13
Warnings: this part: may be triggering for money issues or social anxiety
Prompt used: For ‘modern day no powers’ and ‘college’ and ‘normal people’ and “Oh hey I guess we’re roommates!”
Summary: Natasha came to Dunelm University with a plan. This plan did not include a roommate with no respect for privacy, an Olympic archer and his pizza stealing dog, or taking part in any crazy student fundraising.
Otherwise entitled: how Natasha survives her first year at university and learns not to let her degree get in the way of her education.
Author Notes: Dear [livejournal.com profile] krilymcc, This is a UK AU, because ‘write what you know’, and universities in the UK don’t have mixed gender rooms (although they do have mixed gender halls of residence or colleges), so Hawkeye is not Natasha’s roommate. The other Hawkeye is ;) I hope this meets with your approval.
Also, I’m afraid this is just a part one because unfortunately I haven’t managed to finish this for you (yet). It’s a pinch-hit that was meant to short and has really gotten away from me. I’m sorry; I promise there will be more fic with a lot more Clint, as fast as I can write it!
HUGE thanks to [livejournal.com profile] franztastisch, Dunelm’s Professor of Beta Reading and President of the Cheerleading Society.
Disclaimer: The university in this fic has an uncanny resemblance to a certain university in the North East of England. (The quote don’t let your degree get in the way of your education comes from an ex-Chancellor.) No affiliation or offence is intended. That said, this is work of fiction, so also I made a lot of stuff up ;)


Oh hey I guess we're roommates! )
