A Gift From: kiss_me_cassie
Title: Falling into Focus
A Gift For: paperairplanesopenwindows
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Choose Not To Warn: No warnings apply, unless you count Laura and OT3 as needing warnings. (I mean, maybe? They're not everyone's cup of tea.)
Summary/Prompt Used: "OT3 person of your choice is a travel writer/blogger who keeps running into Nat and Clint at various exotic destinations."
Author's Note: I most definitely did not pick this Secret Santa for this particular prompt. I picked it for the Russian one. And yet when I sat down at the keyboard, this one came out, practically fully formed. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Much love and thanks to my beta, as always. You're the best!

Title: Pins and Needles
A Gift For: alistra
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Choose Not To Warn: None
Summary/Prompt Used: “Thwarted timely acquisition of seasonal gifts or failing to even pick one.”
‘Barton!!!’ booms Tony Stark’s voice, triggered by a mechanism buried in the spine of the card. ‘Pepper says I should invite you to my party. Against my better judgment, I am. Bring a date, if you can find someone willing - or subdue someone who’s not. And wear a clean t-shirt. Be there or be square!’
There's only one issue with that invitation: Natasha might be there.
Author's Note: Written for Alistra, for the be_compromised Secret Santa, and her prompt on the “Thwarted timely acquisition of seasonal gifts or failing to even pick one.” This story veered far off its original course, thanks to a discussion in our comm on the value of Hallmark movies, in the process turning into a much sappier thing than I had intended. Whoops? But as Bob Cratchit said, “It’s only once a year…”

This is pretty much comics based, a blend of Fraction!Hawkeye and Avengers Assemble vol. 5 (2012). Also, farm? What farm? Unbeta’d, because I’m terrible with deadlines.

Title: Outrun the Night
A Gift For: geckoholic
Rating: Is nc17 still a thing?
Warnings/Choose Not To Warn: Choose not to warn
Summary/Prompt Used: All except the 1920s
Author's Note: I hope this hits some of the prompts as incorporated into a larger story... Having never written Bucky/Clint/Nat, I hope this comes across as something you were hoping for. This can be read as either a Mundane AU (If you squint really hard) or Canon (adjacent?).
