ATTF: The WIP Exchange!!

Okay, technically this is ATTS but as I write this, it's still Friday on the West Coast of North America, so.

This weekend (and until the next ATTF rolls around) is your chance to unburden yourself of your troubles with pesky Works in Progress.  You know, the things that have been sitting on your hard drive forever and that won't finish themselves no matter how hard you stare at them.  Or even just the ideas that won't quite gel - you know, the ones that need a nudge to turn into an actual story. (This used to be a regular - Wednesday - feature of the comm, and is quite possibly the reason "Highway of Diamonds" got written.)

Come and get inspiration from your friends in this wonderful comm!

-  Tell us about the corner you've written yourself into - maybe someone can help you out?

-  Tell us which plot hole you're stuck in - maybe someone has a tow line?

-  Tell us which character arc you're thinking of that seems off - we'll give them a stern talking to and get them to cooperate.

-  Give us an excerpt that we can ooh and aah over, so as to inspire you to continue!

There are some amazing writers on this site that are only to happy to help out, be used as a sounding board, cheer you on or give you a little push.  Because we are selfish if there is one thing we like, it's more great Clintasha fic!

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.)

I've wanted to continue my florist/tattoo AU for ages but can't find the right plot. Steve delivers flowers for Clint, Natasha and Bucky open a tattoo shop next door, in the end the stars align, etc. I want to bring Kate into the sequel, but don't know how. The WIP I have sets up with Steve leaving the flower shop and surreptitiously hires Kate in his place, causing bro drama. I guess I'm just not super convinced that this is enough basis for an interesting story? Or, rather, it sets up things for Clint to deal with, but doesn't give me anything to do with Natasha. So I'm not married to the idea slash would love feedback and/or suggestions!

So... Steve leaves. Kate fills in at the shop for him. There's conflict with Clint getting used to this on various levels. Am I getting that right? I'm finding that interesting enough on it's own. :)

If you wanted to be more inclusive of Natasha... Could Natasha be Clint's sounding board as he deal with the changes? His 'bro' in Steve's place? And that brings them closer?

That's sort of what I'm thinking. I originally though I wanted Natasha to be having some sort of struggle of her own (and maybe something will pop up while writing) but for now I think I'll just give this a whirl and see what comes out!

Ah I love these ideas!! I think I wasn't clear enough in that the first part of this is already done and posted, so this is the sequel I'm trying to generate. A few characters have already been referenced, but I love the idea of Fury owning the block, and also of Jane owning a bookstore! I think that will really help me expand the universe :)
