Greetings, Best Bar on Earth, from both enigma731 and me!


I feel like I should kick off this post by apologizing to the Southern Hemisphere because this post is allllll about the things we love about the autumnal season. Warm sweaters. Pumpkin spice everything. Halloween and all of the great costumes and terrible B-movies that play on the cable channels all month. The leaves changing. That nip of chill in the air. Bonfires, hayrides, new constellations. Fall is my favorite season, for all of these reasons and much more that I can’t list without completely derailing this post.

So today, I thought, we should celebrate Fall. And even better, we should celebrate our favorite assassins and Fall. What do Clint and Natasha think about it? Which one of them secretly marks the calendar for the first pumpkin spice latte? Does Clint hate this season because it means the return of sleeves? Does Natasha have a favorite garroting scarf? (Answer: no. She has three, you nitwit) Where do our spies stand on Halloween? Do they ignore it or do they put Tony Stark’s costumes to shame?

Some sample prompts:

Fury has sent out a memo that the Annual SHIELD Halloween Party is this Friday, and participation is mandatory.

Nobody is more surprised than Natasha when Clint wants to go on a roadtrip to go watch the leaves change—or vice versa!

So grab a cup of cider and bring us your headcanons, your picspams, your autumn-themed icons and badges and banners, or just why you love (or hate) Fall. Bring me Halloween costume ideas, fanfiction prompts and recs, your reasons why Clint and Natasha might not even like the season or why they love it more than Tony Stark loves robots. Let’s celebrate! This is a free-for-all, after all!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
5. Place spoilers under a cut, please. That includes things from Thor 2 and the Captain America: Winter Soldier trailer that premiered yesterday. We have a whole post here for reactions!
