Dinosaurs and Hydra and Yetis - Oh My  
Title: "Dinosaurs and Hydra and Yetis - Oh My!"
Author: spyforaday
A Gift For: AlphaFlyer
Rating: PG (some salty language)
Warnings: Mention of PTSD (nothing graphic), mentions of violence, canon-level Barton family dysfunction
Prompt used: Dinosaurs. Why did it have to be dinosaurs? AND Yes, Natasha, there is a Yeti.
Summary: The Avengers split up to investigate two possible Hydra bases. Clint and Natasha are on separate teams. And there are dinosaurs and Yeti sightings. This can't possibly end well. Or does it? There is no substance here, only team banter, a slow burn, and maybe an Easter egg or two if you stay for the post credit scenes. In no way is this AoU compliant.
Author Notes: This prompt fill was started three separate times. What made this one stick is still a mystery to me. But, the time crunch probably had something to do with it. There is no depth, no beautiful language, no imaginative scenery. In fact, it's barely an AU. About the only thing that makes it AU is that it is utterly, totally non-AoU compliant. My deepest apologies to my dear AlphaFlyer for my inability to think outside of the box. I hope you find humor and at least a little bit of entertainment from my interpretation of your prompts.

Read it on AO3 here: Dinosaurs and Hydra and Yetis - Oh My!

Yay!! This was so much fun. Crazy, and fun. Hard to pick a favourite, but it's a toss-up between deaf!Clint, love confessions (yes, ditch AoU all you want, I'll stand there and cheer!!!) and the blushing Dr. Cho...

Thank you so, so much!! :-)

PS: Why apologize??? This was fabulously inventive!!

I am so thrilled (and relieved) that you liked it!

To be honest, I lost a great deal of motivation for writing after AoU. Were it not for this exchange (and the permission to ignore the new MCU canon), I might have allowed myself to fade away from fandom all together. But your prompts made me laugh and forced me to bring my "A" game. And while it may take some effort for me to get back in the swing of this writing thing, knowing that you enjoyed the story I wrote for you is the best kick-start I could possibly ask for. :-)
