ATTF: Hits and Misses  
 Dear Members of the Best Bar!

Wake up!!!  Come out and play!!  To entice you to break your silence, here's a challenge:

Our favourite Master Assassins are, well, <i>master assassins</i>.  That entails a considerable amount of ... emmm ... "professional activity" - not to mention the occasional misfire, because we don't become masters at anything unless we learn from our failures.  With that in mind, I invite you to consider the following questions and turn them into meta, comment ficlets, three-sentence fics, drabbles, or recs for stories (your own or other people's) that you think answer them, or that fit with this slightly distasteful topic.  Humour, thrill rides, slapstick, angst fests - anything goes!

- Famous, infamous and/or utterly fictional shufflings off of this mortal coil that our favourite pair may have been involved in ("He's way too young to have done Jimmy Hoffa."  "You sure about that, sir?")
- Favourite methods of dispatch ("She's called <i>Black Widow</i> for very good reasons," Coulson remarks after reading her file.)
- What happened that time, long before Natasha joined SHIELD, when they both went after the same target?
- Consider the paperwork!  ("Do we include minions?"  "If they shoot back, absolutely.")
- Drakoff's daughter or others caught in the crossfire
- Any other angle you find particularly delicious, horrifying or angst-provoking

Go wild! Consider this practice for the Promptathon!

<small>Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)</small>

OK, I'll start things off then. I won't have time to do a ficlet tonight but hope to do one over the weekend. So I'll default to one rec and one self-rec, both entirely consistent with my head canon that Clint & Natasha, thanks to their assassin-y ways, met loooong before they became partners at SHIELD via that botched kill order/different call thing.

Not mine:
Come for the Espionage, Stay for the Sex by andacus (who used to be a member of this bar - wonder what happened to her?? I love her stuff. Go check it out!!)

Mine:
Red Wedding
