Fic Rec Friday: Orgin Stories.  
Hello thar, shippers!  Welcome to another round of Fic ANY FANWORK Rec Friday! 

Today is all about origin stories for both Clint and Natasha, or any story that heavily features their pre-SHIELD pasts.  (I kind of seperate this in my mind from first-meeting stories, as those are largely C/N centric, and I also suspect that they are going to become a massive subcategory of fic and probably need their own separate post, so I'm thinking we save that for later.

So come on down!  Join the party and bring your recs!  I'm going to leave mine in the comments this time.

A note about tagging, ratings and warnings:
We've added a bunch of tags since last week, and your friendly neighborhood mods are still working on the best way to go about this (because I think we should probably switch the "rec" part to just "fanwork" or "work" in general so people can tag stuff when it gets posted and not just when it's recc'd).  Should have an update soon on that soon.

In the meantime.... when you do rec or post fic, make sure to include a rating and also to identify any sensitive/trigger issues upfront.  Everyone's been really great about this so far, so let's keep up the good work!  /cheerleading

Also?  Happy Friday. :)

Yay, it's time for that friday feeling :D ...finding recs for this was actually harder than I thought it would be, because looking for stories that are purely origin or backstory, not how they first met or how they joined SHIELD turned out to be tricky. SO here are a few that have lots of backstory or origins in them, but probably have other things too. All brilliant writing and I love them!

For Natasha:
RED by Waldorph (explicit, 9807 words, warnings: attempted rape, brainwashing)
fade in on a girl by waketosleep (mature, 2297 words)
you could burn matresses anywhere by yugimutos (weatheredlaw) (teen and up, 811 words)
The Only Soldier Now Is Me by samalander (mature, 13491 words) more comics background, but comics knowledge not required
Chrysalis by [livejournal.com profile] sugar_fey (R, 1028 words, warnings: mentions of child abuse, murder and psychological torture)
there are demons dancing through your dreams by [livejournal.com profile] callmebombshell (teen, 1185 words)

For Clint:
come and go blues by [livejournal.com profile] gyzym
still officially lost by pollyrepeat (teen and up, 11913 words)

Um, I need more Clint origin stories it seems!

Ah! I was searching for the callmebombshell fic! Awesome.

Other than the aforementioned, I still need to read most of these. Very exciting!
