ONE
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. Dragon/Fantasy AU – think Dragonriders of Pern or one or both of them with wings
2. Undercover Married
3. Mission Fic, competence porn
4. 5 + 1
5. Horse AU (Olympics? Western?)
6. Slice of Life
Yes please: fluff, domestic, mission fic, happy endings, friends-to-lovers, smut is good but not necessary, romance, action/adventure, Lucky, Liho, team, au works for me
No thank you: angst with no happy ending, death fic, Clint and Natasha with other partners/lovers, non-con, extreme violence
Characters/Pairings: Clint/Natasha, team fic is good too
TWO
Gift Type: Fic or gift basket (preferred basket item is art or vid)
Prompts:
1. Clint/Bucky/Nat threesome. What if after coming back from Hydra, Bucky wants to reignite his past relationship with Natasha, only to be disappointed that she's involved with Clint, who he also is becoming attracted to? And then he starts to get some vibes from Clint and realizes, he could possibly have BOTH.
2. Exploration of Nat and Laura, during the early days of Clint and Laura's marriage (Just friendship or pre-/early-OT3. It's up to you! But before the kids existed.)
3. you look so hot but i can’t go near you with all these people around so i’m just going to send you dirty texts until we get an opportunity to leave without looking suspicious (Yes, I stole this from someone else from a previous writing prompt thing. But I really like it and I want to see it become a reality. :))
4. Everyone in the Avengers LOVES Christmas, except Clint (who has bad childhood associations) and Natasha (who wasn't raised with the hoopla and is more an observer than a participant.) What do they do to escape it all? Or do they make a deal one year to embrace the holiday crazy and how?
5. Twist on Sleeping Beauty with Bucky as Beauty and Clint and Natasha waking him up.
Yes please: Team as family. Happy or hopeful endings, Warm fuzzies and fluff. Smut is fine and can be dark and twisty or playful and romantic or even just mostly PWP. OT3 is fine as well but just Nat and Clint makes me super happy, too. Take from the MCU or comics or mishmash it all up.
No thank you: ABO, kidfic, age-play, rape, death of any major character, no Bucky/Shuri (seriously, WHY do I keep stumbling onto that? Ick!) if Loki could be avoided that would be great, no references to Infinity War.
Characters/Pairings:
1) Clint and Nat can be just Clint/Nat or an OT3 or just friendship. I prefer to ignore Ultron other than Laura exists (I really, really prefer that Nat/Bruce never existed EVER).
2) other characters and pairings I like: Any characters are good except Loki. That includes Young Avengers, comic characters, Black Panther characters, or others. Pairings I like are Maria/Steve, Steve/Bucky, Steve/Sharon, Thor/Jane OR Thor/Valkyrie, Tony/Pepper, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Bucky, Clint/Bucky. Femslash and male-slash are both fine!
THREE
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. Natasha breaks her arm on a mission early in her and Clints partnership and he has to become her arms for a few weeks doing her hair ect. Although she hates it at first it brings her closer to her new partner.
2. Natasha hates the cold it reminds her of the Red Room so the winter becomes something she dreads every year. Clint decides to teach her how to enjoy the winter including teaching her about Christmas.
3. After a misunderstanding with another agent about mistletoe Clint realised that Natasha knows nothing about Christmas and decides to teacher including giving her the first Christmas present she ever receives.
4. (VERY ANGSTY!) When Natasha's brain washing from the red room starts to malfunction shes discovered young and innocent, Phil and Clint take care of her and debate bringing her back knowing she'll have to remember everything that comes after.
5. Clint decides to get the perfect presents for Christmas but its hard to hide presents from a super spy and your boss. Or Christmas shopping for Natasha and Phil is harder than it looks.
Yes please: Banter, lots of cuddling, Natasha is very lost in americainised christmas, Liverpool as a possible setting but don’t worry if you can’t that’s a pretty niche idea, Ginger Natasha (GO REDHEADS!), deaf Clint. Thank you.
No thank you: Ummm none of Tony/Peter Parker or Loki/Thor. no super girly OOC Natasha
Characters/Pairings: Clint loves Natasha but doesn’t really realise it and Natasha cares for Clint but needs help to work out that he wont abuse any love she gives him. it throws her a little that he’s so nice cause that normally means a man wants something from her but she’s slowly learning that might not be the case.

EIGHT
Gift Type: fic please!
Prompts:
these are in no particular order, and I know there’s a lot… If none of these strike your interest, feel free to try something else!
1. a post from tumblr: “My aunt used to write horoscopes for the newspaper as a part time job. She had a friend in college who a) always read that newspapers horoscope and b) didn't know my aunt wrote it. So whenever the friend had a shitty day my aunt would make her horoscope as positive as possible to cheer her up. Long story short they recently got married and are both my aunts now.” But with Clint and Natasha, natch.
2. “I decided to flip a coin about every decision in my life for a week and that’s how we ended up on a date”
3. goose-enforcing soulmates (listen I’m not usually about soulmate stories but this just cracks me up)
4. “We hooked up at the office party but we’re both workaholics so we don’t normally date” (optional solution/suggestion: one of them is on the office social committee and begins hosting more and more ridiculous/pointlessly themed parties to continue having reason/opportunity to hook up)
5. Some restaurant/restaurant-adjacent AU: food critic? competing chefs? I don’t care, as long as there’s food!
6. “The Knight Wonders What, Exactly, He Rescued” by Jeannine Hall Gailey
7. Clint proposes at restaurants all the time to get free food, meaning (a) Natasha doesn't take him seriously when he actually means it, OR (b) he thinks she's joking when she proposes to him.
Yes please: feel free to include: enemies to friends to lovers (or just friends to lovers), banter, Kate Bishop and America Chavez, mission fics, Natasha interacting with Maria, Pepper, and/or Melinda May. I love Natasha and Steve being friends, especially when she goes to him for life or dating advice! I'm a sucker for fake dating and the more rom-com it is, the better :D
No thank you: death fics, ABO/anything particularly kink-based, kid/pregnancy fics, horror/gore
Characters/Pairings: 1. I prefer my Clint/Natasha canon divergent/denial: I’m fine with the farm, but I’m not particularly interested in Laura/the Barton fam and very super extremely not interested in Bruce/Natasha. Also cool with AUs and I love when comics canon comes into play! 2. For this exchange I’d like Clint/Natasha to be the main focus, but I also like Steve Rogers/Maria Hill, Thor/Valkyrie, and America Chavez/Kate Bishop.
NINE
Gift Type: Fic or Gift Basket
Prompts:
1. I ADORE AUs! Some of my favorites: fairytales, gothic romance (think Phantom of the Opera or Jane Eyre), pirates, literally anything fantasy related, cyberpunk, circus, angels & demons, vampires (I'll take pretty much any AU!)
2. Rom-coms in any and every variety imaginable! Cute and fluffy and sweet. (My fav rom-coms: PS I Love You, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, When Harry Met Sally, Gilmore Girls)
3. Clint breaking past Natasha's walls, breaking through her nightmares, her PTSD, her guilt and shame, to make her smile and laugh, no matter how dark it gets.
4. Clint cooks breakfast (smiley face pancakes!) with Natasha perched on the counter, wearing his shirt, socks, and she has a terrible case of bedhead. It's domestic and comfortable and most of all, safe, away from the rest of the world. He keeps gravitating towards her, resting his hand on her knee and she keeps tugging at his earlobe playfully or trailing her fingers over his shoulder or the back of his neck as they share coffee from the same cup.
5. Going through a haunted house together. Clint could be scared at first and Nat teases him because he's making himself an easy mark for the actors. Or Clint could be totally dead pan not scared because Nat is far scarier than anything in that haunted house. And Clint ends up restraining Nat most of the time anyway so she doesn't hurt people on reflex when they jump out at her.
6. Nat tries to make Clint jealous. Clint doesn't fall for it. At all. But he thinks it's cute that she tried.
Yes please: Romance (Intimacy-centric is my favorite. Sex is fine but not necessary. I prefer the focus of romance to be on their actions and how they support and comfort each other, rather than just sex.) Friendship, Hurt/comfort, Angst (Love me some angst!), Banter is excellent, BED SHARING, Enemies to lovers, Childhood sweethearts, Fake dating/fake marriage, I prefer the movies (never read the comics).
For fanmixes (if making), I like the following genres of music: Classic rock, Indie (Florence and the Machine, Hozier), Sia, Two Steps from Hell/Audiomachine, Swing (think Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Chicago soundtrack), Rihanna, Tango (especially Astor Piazzolla).
No thank you: Sexual assault, Rough sex (no choking, bondage, etc.), Pregnancy, Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics. For fanmixes: No screamo, heavy metal.
Characters/Pairings: Natasha/Clint, Peggy/Steve, Pepper/Tony, Matt Murdock/Claire Temple
TEN
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. 'God damn maybe I am a little paranoid
Cause I can feel it getting harder to breathe
I really don't know when it began to be unbearable
But now it's sickening me'
(Disturbed - The Best Ones Lie)
2. "There are certain moments where I consider you someone with brilliant ideas and a good future. This is not one of those moments."
3. We ran into each other on the subway and I was totally star-struck so much so that I forgot to ask for your name or number or in fact make my attraction known in any way AU (of course they meet again, because rom-com XD)
4. Circus AU, but with a twist of your choosing (gothic horror? in the 19th century? in the future? in space? YOUR PICK!)
Yes please: Mundane AU, scifi, fantasy or magical realism. And smut. Smut is good, either as part of a longer story or a as a PWP. Kink is more than welcome. Canon is great too, and moving along the timeline for either comics or MCU.
No thank you: Anything related to AOU or the Barton farm and family, and importing comics characters into movieverse fic and vice versa. Also please no crossovers to non-Marvel canons either, no excessive fluff, no marriage or kids. Oh and no Coulson and please avoid Loki. And please no fusions or crossovers with other fandoms either.
Characters/Pairings: For movieverse, aside from Clint/Nat, I would also love poly Clint/Nat/Bucky, Nat/Bucky, Steve/Bucky, Steve/Bucky, or Steve/Sam. For comicsverse, platonic Clint & Nat rooted in their deep and long connection as exes, or romantic Clint/Kate.
ELEVEN
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. Clint dealing with the aftermath of everyone disappearing post snap. Can be Clint by himself, Clint and Nat, Clint losing his family, Clint meeting up with other Avengers/characters and dealing...just really anything about how Clint gets through stuff
2. Early SHIELD days with Clint and Carol Danvers
3. Clint and Natasha are living some parallel universe where the snap didn't happen...but their alternate lives are dealing with the canon timeline (total free reign to do with this what you want, just a fun idea to think about)
4. Clint and Laura and Natasha post snap - your choice for how you want to handle/if it's romantic or just friendly
5. Clint and Sharon working together post snap - can be more introspective (talking about life/loss) or just some small missions where they get to know each other better. Totally up to you!
Yes please: Mission fic, slice of life, banter, AU, angst, domesticity, slow burn, poly
No thank you: Divorcing/killing Laura or the kids, PWP, mpreg, A/B/O, Natasha/Bruce, excessive fluff
Characters/Pairings: I'm a huge Laura Barton fan, and will love anything you give me for Clint/Nat/Laura, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Laura, Laura and Natasha as friends...basically any inclusion of Laura and the Barton fam will make me happy. Also obviously happy with just Clint/Nat. As far as other pairings go - open to most others, Steve/Nat, Steve and Natasha and Clint friendship, Bucky/Nat, Carol Danvers, Sharon, Wanda (huge Wanda fan, especially Wanda and Clint friendship), any fusion of Netflix characters or comic characters like Kate Bishop and America Chavez.

I am guilt free Clintasha all the time.
No thank you: I still hold a grudge against AOU, so no Whedon-esque Barton family, please. No character death.
Characters/Pairings: Did I mention Clintasha?
For example:
FIRST: twenty-four
SECOND: three
THIRD: sixteen
A few things:

3. Clint breaking past Natasha's walls, breaking through her nightmares, her PTSD, her guilt and shame, to make her smile and laugh, no matter how dark it gets.
4. Clint cooks breakfast (smiley face pancakes!) with Natasha perched on the counter, wearing his shirt, socks, and she has a terrible case of bedhead. It's domestic and comfortable and most of all, safe, away from the rest of the world. He keeps gravitating towards her, resting his hand on her knee and she keeps tugging at his earlobe playfully or trailing her fingers over his shoulder or the back of his neck as they share coffee from the same cup.
5. Going through a haunted house together. Clint could be scared at first and Nat teases him because he's making himself an easy mark for the actors. Or Clint could be totally dead pan not scared because Nat is far scarier than anything in that haunted house. And Clint ends up restraining Nat most of the time anyway so she doesn't hurt people on reflex when they jump out at her.
6. Nat tries to make Clint jealous. Clint doesn't fall for it. At all. But he thinks it's cute that she tried.
Yes please: Romance (Intimacy-centric is my favorite. Sex is fine but not necessary. I prefer the focus of romance to be on their actions and how they support and comfort each other, rather than just sex.) Friendship, Hurt/comfort, Angst (Love me some angst!), Banter is excellent, BED SHARING, Enemies to lovers, Childhood sweethearts, Fake dating/fake marriage, I prefer the movies (never read the comics).
For fanmixes (if making), I like the following genres of music: Classic rock, Indie (Florence and the Machine, Hozier), Sia, Two Steps from Hell/Audiomachine, Swing (think Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Chicago soundtrack), Rihanna, Tango (especially Astor Piazzolla).
No thank you: Sexual assault, Rough sex (no choking, bondage, etc.), Pregnancy, Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics. For fanmixes: No screamo, heavy metal.
Characters/Pairings: Natasha/Clint, Peggy/Steve, Pepper/Tony, Matt Murdock/Claire Temple
TEN
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. 'God damn maybe I am a little paranoid
Cause I can feel it getting harder to breathe
I really don't know when it began to be unbearable
But now it's sickening me'
(Disturbed - The Best Ones Lie)
2. "There are certain moments where I consider you someone with brilliant ideas and a good future. This is not one of those moments."
3. We ran into each other on the subway and I was totally star-struck so much so that I forgot to ask for your name or number or in fact make my attraction known in any way AU (of course they meet again, because rom-com XD)
4. Circus AU, but with a twist of your choosing (gothic horror? in the 19th century? in the future? in space? YOUR PICK!)
Yes please: Mundane AU, scifi, fantasy or magical realism. And smut. Smut is good, either as part of a longer story or a as a PWP. Kink is more than welcome. Canon is great too, and moving along the timeline for either comics or MCU.
No thank you: Anything related to AOU or the Barton farm and family, and importing comics characters into movieverse fic and vice versa. Also please no crossovers to non-Marvel canons either, no excessive fluff, no marriage or kids. Oh and no Coulson and please avoid Loki. And please no fusions or crossovers with other fandoms either.
Characters/Pairings: For movieverse, aside from Clint/Nat, I would also love poly Clint/Nat/Bucky, Nat/Bucky, Steve/Bucky, Steve/Bucky, or Steve/Sam. For comicsverse, platonic Clint & Nat rooted in their deep and long connection as exes, or romantic Clint/Kate.
ELEVEN
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. Clint dealing with the aftermath of everyone disappearing post snap. Can be Clint by himself, Clint and Nat, Clint losing his family, Clint meeting up with other Avengers/characters and dealing...just really anything about how Clint gets through stuff
2. Early SHIELD days with Clint and Carol Danvers
3. Clint and Natasha are living some parallel universe where the snap didn't happen...but their alternate lives are dealing with the canon timeline (total free reign to do with this what you want, just a fun idea to think about)
4. Clint and Laura and Natasha post snap - your choice for how you want to handle/if it's romantic or just friendly
5. Clint and Sharon working together post snap - can be more introspective (talking about life/loss) or just some small missions where they get to know each other better. Totally up to you!
Yes please: Mission fic, slice of life, banter, AU, angst, domesticity, slow burn, poly
No thank you: Divorcing/killing Laura or the kids, PWP, mpreg, A/B/O, Natasha/Bruce, excessive fluff
Characters/Pairings: I'm a huge Laura Barton fan, and will love anything you give me for Clint/Nat/Laura, Clint/Laura, Natasha/Laura, Laura and Natasha as friends...basically any inclusion of Laura and the Barton fam will make me happy. Also obviously happy with just Clint/Nat. As far as other pairings go - open to most others, Steve/Nat, Steve and Natasha and Clint friendship, Bucky/Nat, Carol Danvers, Sharon, Wanda (huge Wanda fan, especially Wanda and Clint friendship), any fusion of Netflix characters or comic characters like Kate Bishop and America Chavez.
TWELVE
Gift Type: Fic
Prompts:
1. Dr Strange shows Clint and Nat a (or several) universe where they are together in a long term (relatively) successful relationship and still awesome Avengers
2. Strike Team Delta and Agents of SHIELD mission - can they keep their relationship secret?
3. Undercover (Avengers or Strike Team Delta) on a music festival/rock tour and... wait, the Black Widow AND Hawkeye can sing?? ;)
4. Anything you’d like to write.
Yes please: Old school Clintasha; circa 2012 old school Avengers “feel”, but newer characters perfectly ok (Ant Man, Winter Soldier, Black Panther, etc.); slow burn, friends to lovers, everybody knows but them (or nobody knows but them); any rating; hurt/comfort/angst ok, but happy ending please; fluff ok; MCU and/or comics ok. I am guilt free Clintasha all the time.
No thank you: I still hold a grudge against AOU, so no Whedon-esque Barton family, please. No character death.
Characters/Pairings: Did I mention Clintasha?
