Promptathon 2014

The Good Ship C/N Promptathon
of Magic and Joy: Round 3



Break out the confetti canons!!

RULES ON POSTING SUBMISSIONS
(please read before you post! <3)


The Rules. Just follow these three easy steps!

1. Leave a Prompt.
Prompts can be anything--simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases. Anything that, to you, inspires a C/N fanwork. Use your imagination. Go WILD. All we ask is that you place anything NSFW under a cut or link, use trigger warnings when appropriate, and place anything spoiler-y under a cut with a warning. As this is a Clint/Natasha promptathon, your prompts and fanworks can include other characters, but the central focus must be on Clint and/or Natasha. If you’re posting large images, please be mindful of members with slower Internet connections and place the image under a cut or link.

And leave as many prompts as you want. I’m serious. Keep coming back, y’all. We want all the prompts we can possibly get Also, be sure to leave each prompt as a separate comment.

2. Wait a week.
Keep leaving prompts and plan your fanworks! This is a time for celebration and creating all of the things. Work hard, shippers.

3. Submit C/N fanwork like there is no tomorrow.
All submissions should either be posted here or linked to this post via a comment. We will make an official post about rules in the time leading up to submissions. Please read it before posting, as responsible partying is to be encouraged at all times.

Timeline

Prompting starts today, August 2nd and will remain open until August 9th. Submissions will start on August 16th, and will remain open until August 31st.  It is, in fact, A WHOLE MONTH OF PROMPTATHON.

If you can’t complete your fanwork by August 31st, that’s okay. You’re still welcome to post your fanwork to the community! However, the promptathon masterlist will only include fanworks from August 16-31.

What we hope to accomplish with all this promptathon-iness:


  • A chance to get in the game. Been wanting to jump into the C/N fanwork scene but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. There’s no length requirement on the works submitted, you can focus on drabbles and vidlets and short and sweet projects (or do longer more epic stuff if that strikes your fancy as well).  It’s really entirely up to you. We’re just hoping to provide a fun, no-pressure environment. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, that’s fine too!




  • Meet new and awesome people. Newbie or lurker? Here is the perfect opportunity to say hello!



  • Ship like you’ve never shipped before.


If you have any questions, feel free to contact the mod team.

Have fun, everyone. Now fly, my pretties, fly!

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.


Thanks to everyone who participated!

Clint is a comic book artist. Natasha is a red-haired comic book writer. (Inspired by Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick, heh)

After his parents die, after Barney, after the circus, after everyone has left him behind, this is the moment when an aimless Clint Barton might turn to crime or join the army or become a vigilante and so embark on a journey that will lead him to SHIELD and the Avengers. But he doesn't, because a woman catches his eye and he has nothing better to do right now, he's drifting and directionless, and he finds himself following her. And that might lead him straight into a life of crime, or trouble, or a sting, or something else entirely. And eventually it might lead him to SHIELD and the Avengers after all, but it's a whole different kind of journey.

Natasha is a your guide somewhere (you choose). Educated with a passion for history, a gift with languages, flawless directionality, skilled at getting groups of people to follow her lead and go where she wants them to go...and entirely fed up with tourists. They're the bane of her life.

Clint is a tourist.

SHIELD was formed to protect against the supernatural. The Great Strangeness began in the wild places and is slowly spreading across the globe, leaving people changed in its wake, or at least those who survive as villages become forests and creatures destroy lives. Humans flock to the cities, populations becoming concentrated, like gathering around campfires in the dark.

Clint has arrows dipped in holy water. Natasha has silver bullets. And one of them has a secret.

You know the backstory some people have for Clint where he joined the army after the circus left him behind, since he was penniless with nowhere else to go and had a certain skill set, and then he was recruited out of it for SHIELD?

Natasha is the one who joined the army.

At the end of Cap 2 Natasha dumps everything SHIELD knows about her online, admitedly with a whole bunch of other stuff, and then there's the Capitol Hill thing.

Steve feels he should read it and follow the news so that he can have Natasha's back, so he's not in the dark and can help. Tony doesn't read it so much as like all things online it gets absorbed into his knowledge banks, and he doesn't see the problem since so much of his own life is so very public. And Pepper and Bruce get a dose as a side effect, although Bruce also looks through everything (with JARVIS' help) to check for information on himself, so he gets some things on Natasha mixed in with that. Thor has things announced to him by Darcy when in London ("This is so awesome, have you seen this?! Wow, you get to fight with Black Widow!") So by the time things are straightened out everyone pretty much knows what there is to know. Natasha's...not sure how she feels about it all.

Then she finds out that Clint hasn't looked at any of it. (Because he only cares about what she cares to tell him, or because she should tell her own stories, or because only here and now matters...any reason you like.)

After she joins SHIELD, and they've made sure she's not the enemy, and they've partnered her with Clint, Natasha ends up spending a lot of time around Bobbi Morse (aka Mockingbird) (and other people who have been Clint's lovers?) because she just doesn't get Clint and she figures Bobbi must. After all, she married the guy.

Natasha and Bobbi friendship fic. Bobbi still loves Clint, she's just not in love with him and they quit because being together was bad for them both.

Bonus Clint being very concerned about this growing friendship because he just knows these two together could lead to world domination, or SHIELD domination at the very, very least. Bonus bonus Maria not being concerned because she knows neither of them want leadership roles.

It's the journey, not the destination. Dystopian road/journey fic, AU or not.

Clint was a time travel operative [for a future version of SHIELD/any other organization from a different time] who fell in love with Natasha while on a mission and chose to stay in the MCU timeline with her. Every day, he can feel the tug of the timeline to get him back to where he belongs and chooses to stay.

Doctor Who AU. The Doctor (any) picks up a young man with a bow and arrows (which the Doctor doesn't like, no weapons, but the lad is good on a tightrope and in tight places and that is definitely useful) either on Earth (past/future) or another planet. Then he gets in a spot of bother and ends up stopping an assassination and then inviting the young assassin lady along for the ride as well (because really her life isn't going to be worth living if she goes back to the Red Room having failed), although really it's Clint who persuades her. And then adventures and/or domestic life on the TARDIS happens.

Emphasis on becoming friends, maybe pre-Clint/Natasha. I just really like the idea of the Doctor rescuing them from their lives, only really they rescue themselves and each other. He's just the ride and a friend.

Possibly this isn't actually an AU and then they join the adventures, and magic wasn't anything they ever trained for they do have a healthy amount of experience with aliens, futuristic technology, and general weirdness.

One of them finds the other's mislaid journal and reads it, then tracks the writer down through several countries.

Natasha meets Clint when he's still working at a circus or carnival and ends up joining him there with her own act. I'd love seeing her work with the big cats, but frankly, I'm wide open on that front.

AU inspired by Natasha's info dump at the end of Cap 2 and Fifth Estate (but not with people being that atagonistic to each other thanks): Natasha and Clint start an eqiivalent of wikileaks (in a 'verse where there is no wikileaks), beause they've seen so many bad things and this is a way that they can see to make it right. They seem to collect a group of strange people around them as they go, people like Tony who does genius code, people like Steve and Bruce who're disillusioned and just want to do some good, and nutters like Thor who just lets them live at his place in Iceland for months on end, who even does that?

(And strangely enough I just went to wikipeadia to link to the Fifth Estate and I did not know that Renner was rumoured to have been in the film lol).

I love Holly Black also :D I enjoyed Brennan's first trilogy, Team Human was okay, and I'm waiting for the last book in the Unspoken trilogy before casting verdict on that one, but I always, always enjoy her character banter.

What little I've seen of the comics, I adored the Bobbi/Natasha friendship. I'm on board with both Clint and Maria. :grins:

Maybe time will tell you
Why I got so much hell to sell you
Please, please understand me
Oh you can't just dance around me
Maybe your work will love you
When I'm just not there to hold you
Maybe your pride can be your companion (x (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBkfHv6kc5o))
