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

If you can’t complete your fanwork by August 31^st, 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!

I would never in a million years write Gone-Away World inspired fanfic because I would never be able to do it justice.

[franztastisch]

Which one? Sainsburys? Cos that ain't happening. Oxfam maybe though. :P

[scribblemyname]

I vote self-awareness would be harder because he'd be more likely to withdraw and there'd be this emotional distance and loss on both their sides whereas with memory wipeout, yeah it'd hurt, but you can build something new a lot easier than change something as deeply entrenched as what they have.

[franztastisch]

Awesome. :D

[scribblemyname]

I just love the whole pre-vetted friends vibe. She's so practical.

[inkvoices]

Ninjas! It was the moment right at the end where all the ninja-ness paid off and I just laughed for the joy of it coming together.

[inkvoices]

That is both painful and wonderful all at the same time.

[inkvoices]

BUT BUT BUT she's asking Maria and WHAT IF MARIA IS THE CAUSE OF THIS BECAUSE COULSON AND FURY ARE LYING TROLLS WHO LIE AND MARIA HAS HAD HER REVENGE.

[inkvoices]

I have no idea :) Ten, Eleven, or an unknown future Doctor maybe. I don't think Nine could be what they need and I'm not familiar enough with the earlier Doctors. But I'd just love to see what anyone would come up with.

[franztastisch]

But it's also just his words. He's like Daivd Mitchell, he just has this way with words that can't be copied. And OMG new David Mitchell coming out ON MY BIRTHDAY hell yeah. :D

[franztastisch]

POOR CLINT THOUGH.

(Surely she'd make it Coulson/Fury if that's the case though?)

[inkvoices]

Dollhouse or Dollhouse type AU. When you want the right person for the job sometimes the easiest thing to do is to create the right person. Or team of people. Luckily SHIELD/the World Security Council has enough money to make that happen (by purchasing from a Dollhouse or researching and designing this tech themselves).

In which the Avengers (formed by SHIELD)/SHIELD (formed by the World Security Council) are a team of people brought together to deal with threats...but they aren't necessarily who they think they are. Natasha has had experience of this kind of thing before, Clint has been affected by the Tesseract/cognitive recalibration/falling off another damn building, and the pair of them start decontructing the roles they find themselves in and their identities.

[franztastisch]

It's sort of like that bit in the Catching Fire (film) when the little girl tells Katniss "One day I'm going to volunteer just like you did".

Just, ouch.

[inkvoices]

I strongly suspect Coulson and Fury were winding Maria up, and then Clint was winding Coulson up, and then Maria, and it all gets messy and confusing and Maria has had a-god-damn-nough. (There was a rumour she started about Fury as well. And got people to believe it. But it faded out after a while/Fury put a stop to it/owned it. For some reason the Coulson/Clint one never did go away.)

To be fair though, I can actually see Clint/Coulson and don't mind it *grins*. There are few Avengers pairings that bother me. But few that I will write *hugs Clint/Natasha*.

[franztastisch]

Clint/Coulson is on of the few pairings that make me want to set things on fire, so I just don't talk about it.

*hugs Clint/Natasha*

[inkvoices]

They have a great deal of security on the entrances to where they live. Sometimes, especially when drunk, this can be problematic.

("You came in through the window last night."
"It was easier," mumbles hungover person.
"It was still alarmed."
"Easier."
"Challenge accepted.")

[inkvoices]

I would now like a character in this prompted fic to say the Clint/Coulson rumour makes them want to set things on fire :D

[inkvoices]

AU Clint and Natasha meet at circus school.

Along the lines of something like https://www.nationalcircus.org.uk/

[franztastisch]

You can even call them Caroline if you like. :P

[inkvoices]

God, yes, that.

[inkvoices]

Early SHIELD days or at least pre-Avengers days, when both Natasha and Clint are living on base or at a SHIELD facility, they have insomnia. Cue late night wanderings, food, tv shows, talking, companiable silence... Sometimes other people who're awake as well maybe.

MY BUNNY!

(seriously though - this is a fic that's been swirling around in the back of my brain for two years now - I've just never gotten around to writing it. :D HUZZAH! Now it has no more excuses to play hide-and-seek with me!)

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

nodnodnod. reading comics is by far one of the best training grounds for future fanfic writers. ::eg::

I keep seeing people say things like "but that wouldn't happen in canon!" and I'm all like "let me tell you about the X-Babies, shall I? No, no, same Universe, not a drug-induced dream..."

[happilydancing.livejournal.com]

Right???

Re: Questions? Comments? Squee

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

Question! (Ish)

I think I've read all the backlog of prompts thus far (to the point that my eyes are crossing and I've tracked the post so I'll get any new ones in my inbox) - but has there been any kind of Hydra-related prompt that I might've missed?

I have a bunny or a hallucination, I'm not sure which. :D
