Promptathon 2017 Is Here!  
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEEEEEEEEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just before we get started we do have some info and rules we’d like you to read…

HOW PROMPTATHON 2017 WORKS

Step One: leave prompts

Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that inspires a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild! All we ask is that you place anything NSFW behind a cut or link, use warnings where appropriate, and spoiler-cut anything spoiler-ish.

The focus of prompts should be Natasha and/or Clint, individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, in gen fic, ANYTHNG. That means we do welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes) as long as Clint and/or Natasha is there somewhere. See here for more info, and always feel free to ask a mod if you have any questions – there’s even a handy questions thread at the top of the promptathon below.

Leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get. Just make sure each prompt is in a separate comment.

Step two: squee

Been wanting to jump into the fandom but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. Newbie or a lurker? Here’s the perfect opportunity to say hello! Promptathon is a fun, no-pressure environment. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, you’re more than welcome! And by squee we mean chatting in the chat thread, replying to prompts to chat about prompts, and just lots of excitement all over the place.

Step three: submit fanworks like there’s no tomorrow

The usual Community Rules apply. There’s no length requirement on fanworks submitted. You can write drabbles or epics, vids, art, fanmixes, anything at all; it’s just all about getting creative! You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them.

HOW TO POST

1. Respond in a comment to the prompt you are filling. Try and post the entire work in the comment (if it's short enough), or if not, post a link. Do not post works to the comm. We’re all about one-stop shopping, so try and post in the main promptathon post if the length allows. If it is too long to post in the promptathon post, consider posting the first section as a teaser and then a link (because that's always fun too.)

2. Label your submission in the subject line with FILL, the type of fanwork, your title, and any warnings. Example: FILL fic: 5 Times Clint and Natasha Were Awesome (PG) When filling in the subject line, you may need to view the comm in it's original style (if you don't already). Just make sure you can see a subject line when responding with your submission.

3. Be sure to leave ratings and warnings (if any) in the subject line. (See example above.) Help us out and make sure folks know what they're clicking on. Thoughtfulness = LOVE. If the ratings or the warnings won't fit in the subject line, just leave them at the top of your post. If you don't want to include warnings, please put 'I choose not to warn' in the subject line, or again at the top of the post if it doesn't fit.

4. Please put anything NSFW under a cut or link. Put any spoilers under a cut or link with an appropriate warning.

FILL - Intrigue on a Train - PG
Y'all, I had NO idea there was a new movie in the works. I am so dumb. But anyhow... AU ahoy!

---

Natasha came back from the compartment she shared with her companion to confirm that the other woman's things were missing and she appeared to no longer be on the train.

Detective Barton immediately took charge. He pointed to one of the young officers.

"You, go check the luggage car. You, speak with the conductors. And you, speak with the other passengers. There was a young man…"

"His name is Captain Rogers," Natasha inserted.

Clint turned to her. "You know him?"

She shrugged. "Only in passing. Miss Carter was quite smitten with him."

"Find Captain Rogers," Clint ordered the man. "And bring him to me."

"Yes, sir."

He turned back to Natasha, taking in her silk evening gown and expensive jewelry. "And you, madame? Who might you be?"

She held her hand out obligingly. "Tsarevna Natasha Romanova."

He looked impressed. "How is it that you came to be on this particular train? Traveling with the young woman in question?"

"Miss Carter was my… companion. And what I am doing on this train is no business of yours."

"I have a dead body in the traveling coach and a missing young woman. I fear it is very much my business."

"I am sure Miss Carter's current status is unrelated to the mysterious passenger's death. Have you discovered his name yet?"

"Yes. He does not appear to have been on the passenger list, but the name on his passport is Ivan Petrovich." His expression was carefully blank as he studied her. "It appears to be a name of Russian origin. Do you happen to have known him?"

She shrugged, giving nothing away. "Petrovich is a common enough name in Russia."

"That doesn't answer my question."

Her painted red lips curled up in a beguiling smile. "Doesn't it?"

"To a point," he conceded.

"Are there any other persons of interest on the train?" she inquired.

"There are some Americans," he supplied. "An inventor with specialty in robotics and a scientist who has spent the last several years in India. There is also a businessman of Scandinavian descent and his wife.

She tucked the knowledge away for future discussion.

"But tell me," Clint continued. "What of your companion? Aren't you worried that something amiss has happened to her?"

His question didn't faze her.

"Miss Carter is quite capable of looking after herself," she replied.

Their conversation was interrupted by one of his officers, who approached with a dark haired man in uniform in tow.

"Sir, we were unable to locate Captain Rogers but we found one of his men, Sergeant Barnes."

Natasha shot a warning look at the newcomer but quickly masked it with a look of innocent indifference.

"Barnes? I have some questions for you," Clint began. "Starting with what you know about our mysterious dead man, Ivan Petrovich."

Re: FILL - Intrigue on a Train - PG
YAY! So glad you liked it! And yes, but I only have a vague idea of how it all went down, so I'm not sure if that'll ever happen. ;)
