******************

NOTE: PROMPTING HAS NOW CLOSED, BUT FICS AND FANWORKS MAY STILL BE SUBMITTED THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. THANKS!


Welcome!!!! The time is now upon us. This will kick off a month's worth of prompting and fanworking and all the good things. Not sure what to do? Click below for our handy-dandy Promptathon Guide!

RULES ON POSTING SUBMISSIONS
(please read before you post! <3)


The Rules.  Just follow these three easy steps!

1. Leave a Prompt.
Prompts can be anything--simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases. Anything that, to you, inspires a C/N fanwork. Use your imagination. Go crazy. All I ask is that you keep it tasteful and warn for anything explicit or triggery. Also, try to be as specific as you can with your prompts--this is often very helpful to those creating the fanwork.

And leave as many prompts as you want. I’m serious. Keep coming back, y’all. We want all the prompts we can possibly get Also, be sure to leave each prompt as a separate comment.

2. Wait a week.
Tailgate and chitchat and keep leaving prompts. And mull over the epic fanworks you are creating.

3. Submit C/N fanwork like there is no tomorrow.
All submissions should either be posted here or linked to this post via a comment. The nitty gritty details of posting your stuff can be found HERE. Please read before you post


Timeframe:
Prompts will be accepted starting today, Friday, July 13th (!!!) and will remain open until Friday, August 10th.  Submissions may be submitted beginning on Friday, July 20th and may continue to be submitted until August 10th.


What we hope to accomplish with all this promptathon-iness:

• A chance to get in the game. Been wanting to jump into the C/N fanwork scene but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. There’s no length requirement on the works submitted, you can focus on drabbles and vidlets and short and sweet projects (or do longer more epic stuff if that strikes your fancy as well).  It’s really entirely up to you. We’re just hoping to provide a fun, no-pressure environment.

• Meet new and awesome people. Because srsly, I love everyone in this bar. It's a good damn bar. Don't be afraid to say hello
• Ship like you’ve never shipped before.
• Tailgate when appropriate. My motto is, if something ain’t a cocktail party, you just aren’t trying hard enough. In that spirit, aurora_0811and I are hosting the tailgate section (which I think at this point just includes random chatter and ridiculousness, cheerleading and tomfoolery, because I doubt our comm’s talkative nature will be suppressed even during the prompting/waiting period.) So pull up a helicarrier-shaped lawnchair, crack open a cold one and settle in for the festivities. And leave prompts.

And most of all, have fun. :)

Master Assassins in obligatory, mandatory, stupid training sessions - like basic first aid and they're all 'what about bullet wounds and electrical torture?' and sexual harrassment and what have you. (Maybe before and after the Avengers have to join in, or just Clint and Natasha scaring people *grins*)

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

OMG I would <3 to see this! (The sexual harassment class was one of the best moments on NCIS ever, I swear.) I would provide bribes to see this filled... ;)

[inkvoices]

It would be hilarity *grins*.

There was a show where there actually was a sexual harrassment class?! I have heard of this NCIS but never got to watching it. It just shot up my 'future shows to watch' list like woah :D

[inkvoices]

That time there was a problem/destruction of the SHIELD training facilities, so our Master Assassins had to get creative. I don't know, like Natasha throwing teddy bears off a roof or the Helicarrier for Clint to shoot. Stuff that makes everyone else want the training facilities fixed right the hell now.

[inkvoices]

After the events of Avengers can Clint and Natasha still go undercover? Are they too recognisable? Do they get more and really creative with disguises?

[inkvoices]

That time when Tony asked our Master Assassins to (stress) test some equipement or gear and he thought that they couldn't do worse than Thor and Steve, but Clint and Natasha get creative...

[inkvoices]

When Natasha first found out that Clint was deaf/hard of hearing - how, and her reaction/s.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Oh oh OH. This is giving me ideas and FEEEEEELS.

Also! I got my hands on The Graveyard Book! *excited*

[inkvoices]

*swings the mystique BlackHawk pendant back and forth in front of your eyes* wrrrrriiiiiitttteee.

YAY YAY YAY! Because Neil Gaiman always deserves yay :D Did you get a copy with Dave Mckean or Chris Riddell art? (I got Mckean because I love his artwork.)

He’s staring out the window when she walks in. She hadn’t been told anything, though she could have easily slipped his chart from the attendant. She didn’t need to read a medical report. He didn’t need to speak a word. She noticed it immediately.

Clint had always been hyper aware her presence. He would stand a bit taller, squint a bit harder, focus. She engaged his senses. First from a fear of being pitted against her. Then, slowly, as a means to make sure she was holding her own. Not that she wasn’t capable. She had covered his ass on more than a few dozen occasions. He simply couldn’t shake his protective instincts.

Clint Barton didn’t have much. What he did have, what he valued, he shielded with his life.

These were relevant as for the first time since she had walked into his life he didn’t register her presence. Even when he was comfortable with her, when he knew she was there, his left hand would twitch when she entered the room. She’d tease him that it was because he constantly wanted to pull back and release a tidal wave of vanquishing pain on her. He would tell her the only arrow he’d launch at her was cupid’s.

Being focused on the rain that streaked his dreary hospital window, he may not have been able to see her. Not when his functioning brain was resting. Even still her heels made an impressive clatter. Her breath was slightly heavier than normal. That’s where it became as clear as day.

Clint didn’t hear her. When he finally caught sight of her out of his peripheral, his hand twitched. He opened his mouth to speak but chose against it. Clint couldn’t say anything because he didn’t want to say anything. Not when he couldn’t hear it.

For the second time that evening, Natasha’s heart stopped. An assassin without their ears was as good as dead. Especially one who had to work so closely with their targets, and when visual focus was so crucial other cues kept you alive. What would he do? There was no stopping Hawkeye. His job was what he had left in this world. If he couldn’t be considered elite he’d lose their partnership too.

Fuck. That.

He sustained this injury serving a stranger. The world. He had seen her at her darkest moments. He had carried her through them where previous lovers, partners, commanders had swept her under the rug or manipulated her through her flashes of weakness. She wasn’t going to abandon him. Not here, not now, not ever. She owed that to him. She needed him.

Cold faced she marched forward. He flinched at the severity of her posture only to be taken by surprise when she practically pounced into the small hospital bed and buried her head against his chest. Her figure wrapped around him as much as it physically could in order to ground him and his thoughts. She wasn’t going to let him slip away if she had to stay like this, as embarrassing as it was, for always. They’d figure this out. He laced his fingers into her hair when she tilted her chin up to look at him.

“You‘re still Clint. Hawkeye. You’re still my partner. We’ll make it work.” she mouthed very clearly, not seeing the need for speech.

The smile he offered in return was anything but hopeful. She considered it a challenge. She was good at challenges.

Re: Fill: You're Still You, H/C, PG-13

[inkvoices]

Ooo, interesting look through Natasha's eyes! I like the idea that Clint wouldn't want to say anything when he can't hear what he's saying and Natasha thinking that giving Clint that huge hug at the end 'embarrassing' if it was a permenant thing. Also tht she doesn't see the need to speak if Clint can't hear her, matching herself to him.

The smile he offered was anything but hopeful. She considered it a challenge. She was good a challenges. I love how determind Natasha is and that they way this paragraph sits could mean that she considers making him smile a challenge, making him hope a challenge, or making it work a challenge.

Clint Barton didn’t have much. What he did have, what he valued, he shielded with his life.

THIS.

[inkvoices]

That time when SHIELD asked Clint to help redesign the Helicarrier, since he was so good at bringing it to his knees. I think this would difficult for Clint, but that he'd want to do it, to help, and maybe he tries to go it alone...but Natasha of course finds out and joins in...and maybe the rest of the team do too. Steve with tactics and Tony all 'excuse me, am I or am I not the engineer of this group?'

[inkvoices]

Hey, there's a prompting deadline today, gotta get these things posted ;)

There's a film called 28 days about addictions and a person struggling with it asks when they'll be ready for a relationship. They're told something along the lines of: first get a plant. If that's still alive after a year, get a pet/a dog. If that's still alive after two years, then maybe you can try for a relationship.

So, Clint or Natasha, you chose, doesn't feel ready for a relationship so they get a plant and then a pet...Love to see how/if those would survive in a SHIELD environment/lifestyle and if (please!) eventually they get together...

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I love that movie so much! Alan is SO FUNNY in that one. A lone plant sitting on a chair in Clint's room... I have pheels!

[inkvoices]

I didn't know Alan was in it and then I watched it I was all YAY! And he plays such a fun part :D

That is definitely a pheels image *wibbles*

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

Ok. Kind of a team/gen prompt but can be Clint and Natasha focused- touch is necessary for human survival, it's healing, and bonding. And I see most of the team as having been kind of touch starved for a long time. So how do they discover and integrate touch in their team dynamics and relationships? Doesn't have to be sexual (though that could be fun, too ahem) but just touch and team and intimacy feels.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Oh wow-- this kind of begs for 5+1 awesomeness. :D :D :D

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

I would <3 that SO HARD.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Love this prompt! Touch is such a simple thing we often take for granted... meditate on this I shall!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Hey there! I'm so sorry but the prompts closed at 2:39 CDT, so we can't take anymore (not that I have any trouble making an exception, but then I'd have to do it for everyone and this thing would stay open forever.)

[wy22.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry, didn't notice it! Thanks :D

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine, and I feel like a jackass, I just told everyone I'd have to delete any late prompts. :(

[shenshen77.livejournal.com]

And here I said I'm not really into AUs, but this was lovely, would love to read more :)
