ATTF: Scavenger Hunt  
Hi All, something a bit different for this weekend - a virtual Scavenger Hunt!

How Does It Work?

For each of the 'items' listed you need to find something that you think matches or represents it, and you can be as creative as you like. For example, for 'ballet' you could link to an MCU fic featuring ballet dancing, or fan art, or a fan vid, or outside of the MCU a book or film that you've read or seen that has ballet in it, or maybe you have a photograph of ballet slippers, a tutu you wore once, you could tell us about a time you saw a performance... it all counts!

This is non-competitive, so there's no points to win. The fun is taking part and entertaining each other with what we come up with!

How Do I Play?

Comment with your items! You can comment for one or a few items as you go along, or in total if you only want to find a few of them. Or you can find the whole lot and do one big comment.

We haven't tried something like this before. We'll have a questions & chat thread at the top, so feel free to ask questions and make suggestions for how we could improve it if you fancy doing something similar again :)

ITEMS

1. Red
2. Budapest
3. Pizza
4. Kiss
5. Arrow
6. Costume
7. Ballet
8. Pet
9. Spies
10. Coffee
11. Purple
12. Hot


If you'd like to sign up to host an ATTF or suggest ideas you can do that HERE

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.)

BUDAPEST!!!

So, let me tell you about the time that Franzi and Ink and I decided to finally follow through with our ca 2012-13 idea to meet up in Budapest, and honour our assassin spies with a proper homage. The fic we started to jointly write kind of fizzled out and we got snowed on a lot, but for me it was just about the best example of what fandom - and a friendly corner thereof - can be about: friends, food, and fun!

Make a fic out of this, if you will:

Red


I just bought this - "Marvel's The Black Widow: Creating the Avenging Super-Spy: The Complete Comics History" and it was delivered yesterday. Looking forward to curling up and reading about one of our favorite assassins.

It's a hardcover coffee-table book and chock full of amazing art.

Current price on Amazon - $12.58.

Re: Red
I'm terrible about the dimensions of things and thought it was going to be about the size of a regular comic - just with more pages, but it's a big book!
crazy4orcas[personal profile] crazy4orcas on April 18th, 2020 05:17 pm (UTC)
Budapest
This one's a fic rec:

Budapest by Aggie2011. Rated Teen and Up

Summary: Natasha remembered being worried, being tortured, and facing a small army of enemies with no escape route. Clint remembered pain, confusion about what was real and what wasn't, and the knowledge that he needed to find her. He didn't remember much of anything else. So in the end, they would always remember Budapest differently. Est. Blackhawk, Pre-Avengers

It's part of a wonderful series the author calls her Vantage Point Universe centered around Clint Barton.

Pizza
This is a collage I made for the Clintasha Advent 2016 on tumblr. The theme of the day was "dates".



Some time at the range then dinner and a couple of movies at home with the pets.

I don't think I ever told her, but I borrowed the caprese salad and Smithwick's beer ideas from [personal profile] alphaflyer.

Re: Pizza
I am so totally flattered!! Also, your collages are THE BEST. I still love the ones you did for my stories!!
crazy4orcas[personal profile] crazy4orcas on April 19th, 2020 01:13 am (UTC)
Re: Pizza
That makes me happy!

I still need to get around to putting all my Avengers ones in one work on AO3 - with links to the fic.

Red is this beautiful drawing of Clint and Natasha by AstridV on AO3.

It'll always be one of my favourites. Safe for work. Well. There's a gun. But abstract.

Budapest, just to be listing something different:
Tony Revolori, who plays bellboy Zero in The Grand Budapest Hotel, is part of the MCU now, as Peter Parker's eternally instagramming classmate in Spiderman: Far From Home. ("What do you mean you saw- Spiderman follows me on Instagram?!!!!")

Arrow
Fic rec:

Time's Arrow by [personal profile] alphaflyer. Rated Teen and Up.

Summary: Clint looks down into the valley. The low afternoon light glints off the metal armour worn by the men on horses; the majority of the leather-clad foot soldiers are carrying long bows: Ironman and Hawkeye, times a few hundred or thousand, in the original version and most definitely unplugged.

He turns to Tony.

“I don’t think it’s a question of where we are, but when we are.”


And contains the following: A few minutes later there Clint is, on his knees, removing the butt plates on Stark’s suit as the highest priority item. And of course it would be that precise moment, right when he’s got his hands on one of Ironman’s metal cheeks, that a shimmering blue ring appears in the air before them.

Re: Arrow
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS FIC! It is glorious. Everybody who hasn't read it should do so immediately. And I am not biased by any author affiliation, because I had genuinely been completely unaware that it was even by her. *facepalm*

Thanks for reminding me!
crazy4orcas[personal profile] crazy4orcas on June 15th, 2020 11:22 pm (UTC)
Re: Arrow
It's brilliant, right?
alphaflyer[personal profile] alphaflyer on April 18th, 2020 10:50 pm (UTC)
Re: Arrow
You are too kind! Also, yeah. Those butt plates... No act of kindness will go unpunished. :P

Costume
Loosely fits "costume". Another collage from the sadly defunct polyvore.com - my take on Black Widow fancy.



I imagine the ring contains a small vial of untraceable poison and the hair jewel hides a wicked dagger.

Ballet
Fic Rec:

Five Times Natasha Did Whatever She Wanted With Whoever She Wanted for Her Birthday (and That Time in Bulgaria When She Didn't) by Koren M (CyberMathWitch). Rated Teen and Up.

Summary: The title pretty much tells it all. Also, birthdays are complicated when you're someone like Natasha.


Anybody know if Koren M (CyberMathWitch) is a user here?

Re: KISS
I love this series of panels. Especially the last two - Clint's transition from obvious surprise to action *swoon* (and that his glasses got knocked off his head).
[personal profile] starsanonwrites on April 19th, 2020 12:10 am (UTC)
BUDAPEST
Two Truths and a Lie by hannasus on AO3. 11K, no warnings, Rated T (with sexual content). Lovely fic about what might've happened in Budapest.

A Necessary Distraction by watts on AO3. 3K, no warnings, Rated T. An excellent undercover kiss!!!! I've read this fic a ridiculous number of times.

BALLET AND COFFEE
burnt toast sunday by ashlearose13 on AO3. 16K, chose not to archive warnings, Rated T (with sexual content). A wonderful fic in which Natasha is a barista and does ballet and Clint owns a tattoo shop.

PET
All the Night by ClaraxBarton on AO3. 7K, no warnings, Rated T. AU where Clint is a vet, Nat is Black Widow, and Liho and Lucky are there! I adore this fic with my whole heart.

Ballet
This isn't the most clintasha-y thing but The Royal Ballet in England did an INCREDIBLE production of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Linked is their Mad Hatter number, which involves tap dancing! (if you're familiar with this production and happen to know if there's a full version out there please let me know). Edit: Might also work for Purple too, they dressed their Alice in a purple dress!

Coffee
Self fic rec:

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Rated Teen and Up.

Summary: Tony paused in the entryway to the common area kitchen, not quite believing his eyes. He wondered briefly if he was experiencing some kind of caffeine-and-sleep-deprivation fueled hallucination. Again.

Re: Coffee
Just read it - it's awesome! Too bad there isn't enough fic (at least that I know of) where you not only get domestic assassins but also Tony and Clint being friends/human disasters together XD Thanks for sharing!!

And, since I couldn't decide on just one, here're four fic recs:

Wrapped in Flannel by [personal profile] kiss_me_cassie. Not Rated

Summary: He's looking at her with mild concern, and she realizes that while she's been wrapped up in lustful thoughts yet again, he's been talking.

objects in mirror (are closer than they appear) by beneathground. Rated Explicit

No summary, but the tags include 'sex on the dining room table'.

Triage by lemniskate67. Rated Explicit

Summary: Putting each other back together after a mission

Vulnerability/Control by iminthewrongstory. Rated Explicit

Summary: So there they were, enjoying what amounted to a vacation in paradise on the company’s dime, and Natasha couldn't relax. She was tense and irritable, all because she was having trouble not jumping her partner.

Enjoy!
