ATTF: Three sentences of awesome.  
Hello dearest bar! I'm steering the ATTF ship today, and I've seen this going around in a few other places, so I thought we could try it here. Welcome to the first ever [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised Impromptu Three-Sentence Ficathon.

Yep. Three sentences. A fic. Or meta. Or whatever. You can post your three-sentence works of art in to ways: wait for someone to prompt something in the comments below and write a response to it or just come up with your own three-sentence fic/meta idea from scratch. Or do something else I haven't even thought of yet (it's early; I still need coffee). Just bring all the prompts--- and all fic and meta (in a three-sentence form).

We can all pitch in! Writers write! Non writers prompt! Everyone bring your own brand of polite anarchy!

The only things we require: post a rating in the header, and list any applicable warnings (or say chose not to warn). That's it. Go forth and have fun. <3

And Happy Friday. :)

I was listening to Loreena McKennitt's musical version of the poem, and my mind went straight to Clint and Nat. :D

dude, it's perfect. <3

But can there be a version where Clint doesn't do the suicidal thing and race back to avenge her, thus ensuring his own death? Is it conceivable to a variation of this story where that can happen, like a Romeo who doesn't stab himself as soon as he reaches Juliet's 'corpse', instead of taking two seconds to weep or mourn or just delay until she wakes up two minutes later? I mean, this could even be their origin story, that it turns out she faked her own death to give him/them both a chance to get away, and when he tracks her down alive later he chooses to spare her and bring her in instead.

Is there any possible take on this poem that doesn't end with bodies hitting the floor?

Also, Loreena McKennitt rocks. :)

Dude, if anyone can do it, you can. I HAVE FAITH.

Also, I think you just outlined the best origin story EVER.

Accurate icon is accurate... I am awed by your faith in me. ;)

I have to agree, you did just totally outline the best origin story ever. *nods adamantly, and shamelessly feeds the plot bunnies lots and lots of carrots*

Also, Loreena McKennitt rocks. :)

I think so too. :)

But hey, it fits in perfectly with my headcanon that Clint's been flipping Natasha for information on SHIELD's behalf (the implied love affair in the poem) prior to the assignment to kill her/she gets taken hostage by bad guys (either of which could be Tim). And from there...

Or it could be the standard 'they are complete strangers and something changes Clint's mind', although in this case it might need to first change Natasha's, and... hm...

*gnaws on a carrot*

(And thanks? I do these things mostly by accident. xD )

Accidents are where some of the best art comes from. (Lucky, happy accidents that have people cheering, not driving by slowly and gazing at the wreckage.)

You, go write. I'll even beta ... :-)

And yes, Loreena McKennit rocks, rolls, and all those good things.
