[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!

Well hello there! I've been lurking around here and in AO3 for quite some time, and I've discovered some really high quality fics. I'm still trying to put together something longer than two paragraphs myself, but it's a bit hard because English is not my mother tongue.

Anyway prompts: Natasha discovers she's pregnant in Valentine's Day (because I'm a sucker for babyfics and in my headcanon AoU never happened). She is not amused.

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

Welcome! Glad you found us. :D If you ever do write a fic, feel free to post it here! We have several members who speak English as a second language.

(speaking as a teacher: appropriate icon is very appropriate)

High school teacher!AU

Or alternatively, Natasha and Clint have to go undercover as high school staff.

Seconding what sugar_fey said. Welcome to the comm! Also, we have people happy to beta-read, including first time, ESL efforts! We love creative people being creative. (There's a "beta directory" tag on the side of the comm.)

[alphaflyer.livejournal.com]

Wishing well.

[alphaflyer.livejournal.com]

Obviously a major miscalculation.

The Bowling Green Massacre.

[inkvoices]

If i'd been drinking anything right now I would have just choked. Just so you know ;)

[alphaflyer.livejournal.com]

Have a drink - and start writing ... ;-)

[inkvoices]

Welcome to the comm! A promptathon party is always a fun time to join in :) And don't worry, we have others who don't have English as a first language - and other languages are great for internationally travelling assassins to know! What languages do you speak? I'm impressed with all our multi-linguists!

Also: I love unamused Natasha *grins*

[inkvoices]

Clint is backpacking on a shoestring budget. (He may or may not have dragged his rich friend Kate along, or she may have instigated this. Could be post-circus or post-army or a complete AU.)

Natasha is on an organised trip or package holiday (or on a job or just finished a job, depends how AU yoh want this) and she's bored.

Travelling happens.  And other things.

(YAY it's prompting time! I've been saving some for just this occasion *grins*)

[inkvoices]

Clint works for a National Park. Natasha works for the Mirriam Webster Dictionary or Teen Vogue. They meet. In person or online.

[inkvoices]

They meet on a train. Everyone's travelling somewhere.

[inkvoices]

Every kind of sex act you can think of, the Black Widow has been there, done that. But this is new. (It's not what you do, it's how you do it. And who you do it with.)

[inkvoices]

We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren't able to burn

[inkvoices]

Natasha designs/creates clothing for a certain kind of woman. One who wants to be able to carry multiple weapons unseen whilst showing off a hell of a lot of skin. Computer power hidden in jewellery. Boots with secret compartments. Garrotte wires in belts. Diguised tasers. Stylish, practical clothing and accessories with...an edge.

Clint is looking for a present for Kate/Bobbi/lady of your choice. (Possible extra: the ex-carnie wouldn't mind a few things himself.)

[inkvoices]

Gender fluid Natasha. Bisexual Clint. Asexual character. Anything you like. Infinite varieties in infinite possibilities :)

[inkvoices]

Moving up levels in SHIELD comes with new requirements and responsibilities, as promotion does. Natasha reaches the level where she has to teach/train others. (She can't wait to be classed as a Specialist so she doesn't have to deal with this shit. Not that Specialists don't teach/train at all, but it's rare and on request and refuseable, not part of the job description with topics chosen by senior officers.)

In other words: as part of the undercover training course Natasha has to teach seduction and Clint signs up. (Being ine if the good guys means she's not allowed to kill him, right?)

(A SHEILD early-ish days fic)

[inkvoices]

"Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually know everything, Clint."

[franztastisch]

This speaks to me on many levels.

[inkvoices]

SHEILD is a sort of dating agency. In which Natasha helps people with body language, clothing, getting their confidence back (*cough*Steve*cough*) and Clint's speciality (a la that flying monkeys fic) is coming up with senarios/suggestions/date planning, but his ideas are ridiculous. Yet always successful! From bad cinema choices and the arm stretch (but then neither of that couple pay attention to the film and they bond over it and get married that year or something) to the hugely over the top (oh god, what if he gave Tony advice?). And Natasha just does. not. understand. how. they. ever. work.

[findthesea.livejournal.com]

Honestly, the moment I read this, even without looking at the replies I thought FRANZI. ;)

[findthesea.livejournal.com]

GAAAAAAAH GAAAAAAH. I've been wanting to do something with gender fluid Nat or asexual Nat for awhile...but I've had a hard time finding the right idea...

[inkvoices]

But would it be a fake incident? A real incident? A press incident? *points to icon* WAS IT THE PLUMS? Who knows?! So difficult to keep track of these things ;) Not sure I could do it justice; will mull over :p

[inkvoices]

Oddly I didn't actually target this one. Sometimes I do have someone in mind when I think of something, since I'm a low down dirty enabler, but strangely nope, not this time. Unless I just do it subconciously now *grins*.
