Valentine's Day Mini Promptathon 2017

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

Yes, our promptathons roll around again, as (semi) reliably as birds migrating.

So, once again it's the time for the Most Romantic Mini Promptathon Of All.

Or platonic. Or full of badassary. Doesn't have to be romantic. Your choice. We welcome ALL!

Timeline
Now (Tuesday, February 7th - February 14th midnight eastern: Prompt! Prompt ALL THE THINGS!
February 14th to February 21st (midnight eastern): Fill those prompts like you've never filled prompts before!

Theme
Prompts: All things Valentine's Day or love (romantic or otherwise!) related. Friendship? UST? Developing romantic feelings? Badass mission that just so happens to involve obnoxious heart-shaped candies? Excessive consumption of pink cupcakes? Living down by that rivier in Egypt or AoU-compliant? Alternate universes featuring singing elephants dressed as cupids? Post-Civil War reconciliation? All are welcome here!

Prompting
Prompts go in the comments to this post. List each prompt as its own separate comment.

Fills
Fills: Post your fill, or a link to your fill - be it fic, art, a video of you preforming an interpretive dance, etc - as a reply to the prompt comment. Please don't post your fanwork separately to the comm, otherwise b_c might explode from the squee. We'll also create a masterlist post updated as fills come in, so rest assured that everyone will see your work!

Please include title, rating, and appropriate warnings in the subject line of your fill.

Prompts may have multiple fills, please give love to your fellow creators!

FILLS CLOSED. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this promptathon so great!

Repost from last year:

Every valentine's day, Clint gets the same shit: wings somehow sewn onto his only clean uniform, his practice bow is replaced by a sparkly one in virulent red or pink, a kissogram or flowers or some publicly mortifying thing just as he's leaving his debriefing with Coulson. One year he decides to actually play along, which of course, is why he's in a weird toga underwear thing when he first meets Natasha.

Another repost:

Turns out for a secret agent/assassin/Red Room graduate, Natasha knows an awful lot of people (5 times Clint met Natasha's exes and one time.....dealer's choice)

Just saw this posted from a Marie Claire photoshoot.

Thought it would make a good prompt.

Clint and Nat (and anyone else you choose) play an escape game

Natasha is an artist, Clint is an artist's model.

Someone is trying to read (for work or pleasure). Someone else is being really distracting.

[inkvoices]

Someone (Tony? Probably Tony) decides that Natasha and Clint have been working too hard or haven't been able to spend much time together lately, and so as a treat sets them up for a nice meal or a show or whatever as a surprise date night for Valentine's Day. It's sweet, but Natasha and Clint aren't actually together. (Yet.)

Natasha's chopstick skills get them in trouble during a mission in Asia.

[inkvoices]

Natasha works in a comic store. Clint applies for a job (and possibly gets it).

(One of these people knows about comics. Hint: it is not Clint.)

(Possible bonus ideas: Steve the comic artist, Bucky the tattoed amputee guy who also works in the comic store, Kate the friend who has no sympathy for Clint's job hunting woes, Clint's previous jobs being diasters for whatever reasons...)

[inkvoices]

Clint is hired as a specialist or stunt guy, or whatever you call the guy hired to do the actually arrow shooting parts of a film who isn't actually an actor. (Clint may be ex-circus, ex-Olympian, ex-army...and he needs the job.) Natasha is in charge of the stunt people, or the lead stunt person, or the lead actress, or however involved with the film.

PROMPTS NOW CLOSED!!

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

So this is the part where I admit I've totally messed up my sense of timing. *facepalm* Therefore, I've decided to close prompts now, so we can commence WRITING AND POSTING ALL OF THE THINGS. We've got some fantastic prompts this year and I'm looking forward to seeing what all you lovely and talented people do with them!

FILLS NOW OPEN!

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

As I said above, from now on, you have until the 21st to WRITE AND POST ALL OF THINGS. Are you excited? I know I am!

GO FORTH, MY LOVELIES, AND WRITE, WRITE, WRITE!!!!!!!!!!

FILLS EXTENDED!

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

That's right, folks, we have decided to extend the promptathon for fills by ONE MORE WEEK!

EIGHT HOURS LEFT!

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

Hello lovely people, just letting you all know that the promptathon will be open for another eight hours only. I intend to close the promptathon when I return from work.

If you have last minute fills, now's the time to post!

FILLS CLOSED!!!

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

That's it, folks, we're wrapping up the Valentine's Promptathon for another year. You're still welcome to post fics responding to prompts to the community separately.

Thanks to everyone who participated! I have so much reading to catch up on...
