Secret Santa 2016 Masterlist

all i know is a door in the dark (G)
by findthesea for enigma731
An AU in which Clint doesn't get out of the Raft when Steve jail breaks everybody else. Now it's a year (or more) later, and he's finally being released after a long, drawn out legal struggle.

And Only Stars Above (PG)
by franztastisch for kiss_me_cassie
'stranded in a cabin' and 'stargazing in the middle of nowhere'

Dreams (T)
by perpetuations for celeste9
Inception AU where they steal secrets through people’s dreams (as partners or at odds, or maybe one leads to the other?)

everything is wonderful (PG13)
by hanorganaas for be_compromised
Clint assures Natasha she looks just fine at a later stage of Pregnancy

Hearth (PG13)
by alphaflyer for findthesea
Power comes in many forms. -- An amorphous blend of the following prompt snippets: "What happened after Civil War? Basically, I just want a fic about what happened to our assassins ... Natasha, Laura and Clint ... after Ross finds out about Clint's "secret" life.... domestic stuff, slice of life, mission fic, ... found family... magical realism... I LOVE Laura Barton and want her involved always."

hope for you yet (PG)
by kiss_me_cassie for alphaflyer
Prompt: Hawkguy and Kate throw a party. (It's an excuse to clean up Clint's apartment, plus Lucky likes leftovers.) But then Natasha turns up…

Just His Luck (PG)
by i_llbedammned for perpetuations
Noir/Crime/Roaring Twenties AU: It don't mean a thing if I give you my heart.

Persuasive Lips (Don't Let the Wrong Words Slip) (Explicit)
by kiss_me_cassie for geckoholic
Embarrassing package that character A ordered accidentally gets delivered to character B's house AU.

R&R (T+)
by sandrasfisher for hanorganaas
Clint and Natasha takes some time to heal.

Sighting the Target (PG13)
by spyforaday for i_llbedammned
I combined two prompts: Clint and Natasha have to team up to save the day as assassins try to get them; Natasha and Clint go on a double date with Tony and Pepper

The Road to Nowhere (Adult)
by enigma731 for sandrasfisher
There’s a strange sense of something wrong, something terrible about to happen, or maybe something that already has. Before the words were drifting by her, like waves with her mind submerged below the quiet of the surface. Now they’re pinging around like tiny grenades -- Stark, helicopter, explosion, twelve dead.

the time of night some people call morning (Gen)
by gsparkle for spyforaday
Christmas at the farmhouse or New Years at the Tower - one of them catches the other one singing or playing piano (exceptionally well) and this leads to a discussion of "things you actually don't know about me" which leads to, you guessed it, confessions of feelings.

Turn Off The Lights, Run For The Woods Now (PG13)
by geckoholic for franztastisch
Clint learned how to save himself, and do it all on his own. In hindsight, that's the biggest lesson Barney ever taught him. Turns out it's one hell of a double-edged sword, and near impossible to unlearn.

wait on the edges in between
by celeste9 for poppetawoppet
Five times Natasha encounters Clint and one time it actually works out.

Who Needs a Memory When We Both Have Home? (PG)
by poppetawoppet for gsparkle
Four Cities Clint and Natasha Remember Differently, and One That’s Almost the Same
