ATTF: Around the World with Clint and Nat!  
 Dear Best Bar,

Travel can be a blessing, and a curse, as anyone can attest who has ever lost a piece of luggage, had a flight cancelled, gotten stuck in the middle seat, or been taken aside by the police for inadvertently trying to bring a piece of firearm onboard a plane (don't ask - shit happens, ok?).  And then, at the other end, you end up in places both glorious and mundane, enchanting or awful, with food that can be either utterly amazing or make you barf 14 times before you have to be "on" for the thing for which you travelled around the planet in the first place.  

When your job is in global assassinations security, travel is like what Thanos thinks he is:  Inevitable. 

So here is your topic and assignment for the day:  

Give us your comment fic - three sentences or more; your full-blown meta or your snippets of thought; your recs or self-recs of fic where location, location, location was the key (and no, it doesn't have to be just Budapest).  How would things turn out if Clint and Nat showed up in a place that's been on your bucket list since you were six, a place you love dearly and know well, or (gasp! yawn!) in your home town?

<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 good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)</small>

Okay so I will comment with some of my favourite fics that take us to far flung places when I am more cognizant but as it stands I just want to say...

Remember when [community profile] be_compromised did the hometown challenge back in 2013? SEVEN YEARS AGO? Man, it was one of the first challenges or exchanges I took part in. And all the stories took us all across the globe! What an excellent collection of stories to revisit!

I have to admit I was thinking of the Hometown Challenge when I wrote the original post. That was so much fun!

I actually still have two different versions of fics meant for that challenge which just... didn't work out. But I liked them just enough to not actually delete them.

Now's the time to polish them up a little and put them out there!

Ehhhhh. I might do, but they also really didn't work for me. I'll have a look at them again though, just to be sure.
