Remix Fics: "Learning Natasha (Again)" and "Dreaming of Budapest"  
Title: Learning Natasha (Again)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] scribble_myname
Remix Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] sienamystic
Fic I've Chosen To Remix: I Know My Place (But It Don't Know Me)
Pairing(s): implied Clint/Natasha
Rating: Gen
Wordcount: 5151
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Author's Note: When I ran through all the awesome fics available to remix, I kept coming back to this one because it talked about how Natasha was coping with becoming a team player, and there were all these little, delightful moments implied that I wanted to capture. I hadn't meant to wrap up the fic with the same scene, but the momentum carried me there and I rather like how it all turned out.

Summary: There are certain things about Natasha that are true. In order to fit in with her new team, she just needs to learn a few more of those truths.


Title: Dreaming of Budapest
Author: [livejournal.com profile] scribble_myname
Remix Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] sienamystic
Fic I've Chosen To Remix: In Two Straight Lines In Rain or Shine
Pairing(s): Clint/Natasha
Rating: Gen
Wordcount: 1010
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, some child/medical abuse and canon-typical violence implied
Author's Note: It's a crossover between Firefly and Avengers and it was really the story implied about Clint and Natasha that drew me to the fic, but then I decided to go watch Firefly so I could really remix it and fell head over heels in love. After that, the fic practically wrote itself.

Okay, so there might have been a very specific line that drew me: The man is a little package of tense, and the red-haired woman has...well, she has the same look on her face as River sometimes gets, right when she’s about to do something at her highest range of inexplicable. How could I resist a first line like that?

Summary: River Tam dreams that Natasha needs help—and answers.

Thank you! I feel like the newbie on this ship, and especially with Firefly.

I found Firefly a couple of years ago (one of my co-workers told me I couldn't call myself a Geek unless I'd seen it). Never looked back!

Oddly, I never felt like writing for it -- so I'm glad that there's people like you and your lucky recip! :-)

I'm not sure if I would've jumped into the boat if this crossover hadn't been in the remix pile, but now I kinda want to write more Firefly. It's easier for me if there's good fic to read first that really works for me.

After I saw the show, I had a lot more appreciation for all your delightful easter eggs. I wish they'd kept the series going.

VERA!!! :-)

I'm not sure I could handle writing in Firefly voices for an extended period of time, hence my reticence. The world building would be fun, though. And I can sure see how and where Clint and Natasha, respectively, would fit into the place. Hmm....

I'm not so sure about my folksy voice myself, but I'm pretty sure if you get inspired, I'll be there reading and loving. :grins:
