Gateway Drug - rec one of the first Marvel fanfics you can remember reading: Oh, this goes back to the winter after Iron Man came out, so it's more Marvel than MCU, but it started myavalanche slide into the fandom: When the Lights Go On Again. Clint is the really young, early 616 version, which you don't see very often, especially now, post-Fraction/Aja. (This is technically Steve/Tony, but there's so much else going on that it's just one beat among everything else.)

Golden Oldie - rec something from phase one/two/three: The Last Great Bordertown Hotel, Clint/Nat backstory from the summer after The Avengers

Master Assassins - go on, rec some Clint/Nat or Clint & Nat: So, this is the best Clint & Nat, ever: Chance. Novel-length and perfectly detailed.

Marvel Rec - branch out and rec from any Marvel film, tv show, comic, crossover… any characters or pairing: Assets Out of Containment, which is a crossover with Jurassic World, and mostly Bucky; and then I'm going to cheat and say the Agent, Archer, Widow, Spies series by alphaflyer which is a crossover with Daniel Craig's Bond, which you've all probably read, but hey, it's an excellent re-read.

Recs for your favourite tropes/tags - team family, road trip, fake married, first times... : How about Amateur Theatrics", which has body swap, de-aging, gender swap, and team family at the Mansion?

AU Rec - rec something alternate: No Magic Would Save Me, which is a wonderful steampunk AU.

Rec something that ISN'T fic - art, fanvid, playlist, graphic, collage, cosplay, knitting pattern… : I Don't Believe In Fairytales, which is one of my earliest Clint/Natasha favorites.

Also, I'm throwing in The War Was In Color, because it's still the best Steve vid ever.

Self-rec - something that you’ve written/created: uhhhhm, I'm topaz and I've been writing in the MCU for 5? 6? years, and I tend to pair off Clint with everyone I can think of so there's a lot to pick from.

How about my most recent Clint/Natasha: Some Strings Attached.

Rec search - describe a fic that you can't quite remember or something that you’d really like to read and someone else can comment with recs for you!
I know it's totally cliche, but I'd love a C/N coffee shop AU. I need all the fluff these days, tia.

Oh man I always forget how good The War Was in Colour is. <3

IKR?! It just sort of lays out all of Steve right there.

I am absolutely sure there's another Steve vid that I love that I found recently and I can't for the life of me remember enough about it to google it. But it was SO GOOD. Urgh. I'll link it if I find it again.

Link me when you find it!

Is it this one?
