ATTF: Community Trick-or-Treating  
trick or treat

Happy (almost) Halloween, bar! It's been quite a week in fandom, hasn't it? This post will be the spot for your community Halloween party for the next week or so!

Last year a bunch of people did fandom trick-or-treating on their personal journals (here's mine, for an example) and it was so much fun that I decided to steal the meme.

So, here's how I'm going to adapt it for the community:

  • If you want to give out treats, reply to this post with the comment "My door is open" or something clear to that effect!

  • Your fellow bar patrons will then reply to your comment with "trick-or-treat"

  • You will provide some sort of treat (or trick, I suppose)! Treats can be anything you want--a picspam, a short comment fic, a compliment, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

  • There is no deadline for providing treats. You are also welcome to put a limit on how many things you're willing/able to fill.

  • Anyone can participate!

  • Out of consideration for your fellow bar patrons, please refrain from including Age of Ultron trailer spoilers. I know we're all excited, but this is going to be a busy post, and I'd hate to see the experience ruined for anyone.

trick or treat 2

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.)

Trick or treat!

There is light, in her eyes and in her hair and on her feet, but Natalia - Natasha - Natalia doesn't slow her movements, not even when there is no more of it to guide her, to help her, to remind her. She finishes out her routine with one last slow turn, feeling the hairband slide loosely out of her curly hair as she comes to s top, closing her eyes against the dimming atmosphere and enveloping as much of herself as she can in darkness. In silence.

In clapping.

Natasha's eyes open instantly, her trained ears listening closely for what she's sure she's heard in the otherwise still room - the soft touch of hands moving against one another, a gentle yet hesitant show of affection for her (maybe not, she thinks, her heart pulsating against her chest as if it means to escape but no, it must be her, because there is no one else here, because there is no one else practices this late, because there is no one else that comes to this part of town, unless they are beggars or buyers or both.)

She stands rigidly still, quiet breaths her only company, waiting for the presence of sound again, and when she spies him moving through the shadows and down the aisles of the otherwise deserted concert hall she is quite sure that she might be dreaming.

"Natasha."

The words are like a shock to the heart, a jolt of adrenaline that brings her almost to her knees, flashes of red and black and green and scepters and quinjets and nights where bodies turned blue in the absence of one another's skin and days in each other's arms with bad television and mismatched socks and the brush of lips against white teeth and that is who she is, not Natalia. Natasha.

"Clint," she says quietly, holding out her hand as he ascends the stairs on the side of the stage. He meets her outstretched fingers, spinning her once slowly before drawing her to a halt against his chest.

"I told you I would come home."

Oooooooooh. I am intrigued! What an interesting moment; so much unsaid, tucked behind the present moment to support it and yet never been seen, and so much to wonder about. :) Love it!

This is haunting. I like the sense she has of not knowing who she is, because she's so deeply into her routine and her mind. Then the sudden fast reminder of the present and where she belongs.

Beautiful. Just lovely. Like the end of a ballet performance.
