ATTF: Cliches & Subverting Cliches Comment Ficathon  
Happy Friday, bar!

It's been a little while since I've hosted. I have to admit, this is not an original ATTF topic, it's just one that I thought was so much fun in the past, it had to be done again.

So, perhaps a little ironically, today I present to you our second (as far as I know) Cliche & Cliche Subversion comment ficathon. The way this works is that you post a cliche you'd like to see written or subverted. Then another fine bar patron writes a comment fic accordingly. You can specify whether or not you want your prompt cliche subverted, or leave it up to others to choose.

Please also feel free to discuss the particularly delicious subject matter of cliches for our favorite assassins. :)

Things to remember, particularly with regards to fic:

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.)

Ahahaha, did you have to bring in Barney? ;__; Okay, seriously, I really like how... soberly you have him looking at things here, and it works.

It wasn't grief he needed; it was that tight, hard coil of anger he wore after he'd been tortured or used, that battle-ready fury focused into killing what needed killing, not mourning who needed mourning. -- Oh man, the thought that that's enough of a regular occurrence that she's mapped out a pattern in his reactions to it.

I'm harsh that way, alas. I do think they'd have a pattern for that kind of thing, even if it never fell in this category for him before. And it just felt like it needed to be a sober piece, you know? Even when you keep moving, this stuff does affect you, just in a different way after a while.
