Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. Please belly on up to the bar and help yourself to a drink.

The theme for today’s ATTF is Clint and Natasha’s endgame, and endgame can mean a few different things. How do you see their careers at SHIELD ending? How do you see their Avenger’s days ending? Do they retire from both, go off the grid and spend the rest of their days living off the land in the backwoods of some small European country? Or does their endgame involve something more tragic?

I’m somewhat partial to the idea that with the Avenger’s they have the option to pick and choose their SHIELD missions and eventually leave SHIELD altogether. Then after one too many close calls, they give up the Avenger’s and with Tony’s help they drop out of sight. Shortly after that, Stark Industries gets into the development of both commercial and private security systems. Clint and Natasha are living on a private island and running the new branch of Stark Industries from there. They’re also running what’s fondly known as the Avenger’s B & B, where Avengers come to rest and recuperate from serious injury. The location is idyllic, the company is great and Clint is an amazing cook, but otherwise the service well and truly sucks. I also see them doing a fair bit of traveling, taking time to visit all those places they’ve been before, but doing so to take in the sights, food and history. Natasha enjoys coming up with their cover stories for these trips.

Got any fic recs for us? And please warn if your rec includes a Major Character Death.


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.)
