Epic Promptathon 2020
It's all go with the Bingo Challenge and AU Exchange, but it wouldn't be summer without THE EPIC SUMMER PROMPTATHON! Yep, it's that time of year again. ARE YOU READY?!
Just before we get started we have some info and rules we’d like you to read…
HOW PROMPTATHON 2020 WORKS
Step One: Leave Prompts
Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that inspires a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild!
We welcome ALL THINGS MARVEL, although we do like it if Natasha and/or Clint is in there somewhere, individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, in gen fic, ANYTHING. That means we do welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes).
Leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get. Just make sure each prompt is in a separate comment.
Step Two: Squee
Been wanting to jump into the fandom but not sure where to start? Now’s the time. Newbie or a lurker? Here’s the perfect opportunity to say hello! Promptathon is a fun, no-pressure environment. If all you want to do is post prompts and share in the squee, you’re more than welcome! And by squee we mean chatting in the chat thread, replying to prompts to chat about prompts, and just lots of excitement all over the place.
Step Three: submit fanworks like there’s no tomorrow!
The usual Community Rules apply. There’s no length requirement on fanworks submitted. You can create drabbles or epics, vids, art, fanmixes, anything at all; it’s just all about getting creative! You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them.
HOW TO POST FILLS
1. Respond in a comment to the prompt you are filling. Please post the entire work in the comment if it's short enough OR post a link, and consider posting the first section as a teaser. Please don't post works directly to the comm - we’re all about one-stop shopping, so keep everything in this main promptathon post. We'll do a masterlist of fills at the end.
2. Label your fill/comment in the subject line with 'FILL', your title, and a rating. Example: FILL: 5 Times Clint and Natasha Were Awesome (PG) When filling in the subject line, you may need to view the comm in its original style (if you don't already). Just make sure you can see a subject line when responding with your submission. This makes it A LOT easier for us to make that masterlist and for people to spot your fills.
3. Make sure to include a rating and warnings OR 'choose not to warn' at the start of your fill, as per the comm rules. Help us out and make sure folks know what they're clicking on :)
4. Please put anything NSFW behind a cut or link.
TIMELINE
TODAY: Prompting starts! GO, GO, GO
SUNDAY 2nd AUGUST: We open for fills! (You can also continue prompting)
UPDATED: MIDNIGHT FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER: Promptathon, both prompts and fills, ends at midnight in whatever your timezone is PROMPTATHON IS CLOSED!
If you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask! We have a questions thread as the first comment to this post and you can always PM a mod.
OKAY THEN BEST BAR EVER, LET’S GET PROMPTING!

no subject
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot, then we can die
Oh, oh, oh
I know I won't be leaving here with you
- Franz Ferdinand "Take Me Out" YT link to song
Re: FILL
FILL: Take Me Out (G, unbeta'd)
She turns and looks directly down the crosshairs at him.
'Take. Me. Out.' she mouths slowly and in English, grim determination set into her face.
If Clint lowers his bow, she could kill him easier than not. He's seen the reports of other agents she'd run into in the past.
Still…
He lowers his bow.
And despite all odds, she leaves with him.
Natasha at a SHIELD holiday party is like watching a predator on the hunt. She knows that everyone here knows she's the Black Widow, yet there's no shortage of agents willing to try their luck.
Clint sips his drink from afar. He'd long since moved from beer to whiskey as he can't quite shake the need to keep an eye on his partner, even when he thinks he might shatter if he has to watch someone else leave with her.
He's halfway through a deep dive into why eh feels like he needs to watch her here and now (he knows but why he keeps punishing himself is another story entirely) when he realizes he's lost track of Natasha. He tries to tell himself it's only shocking that he hadn't seen her move.
He sighs. Natasha can take care of herself at the worst of times, and this party is hardly the most dangerous they've been to.
He downs the rest of his drink.
The warm burn down his throat flows outwards into all of his limbs. He opens his eyes abruptly because the caress of the alcohol down his veins suddenly feels like an intensely familiar hand on his arm.
His eyes focus on the spot and. Yes, that's Natasha's hand with Natasha's nail polish on the arm of his jacket. His brain tells him that the shade she's chosen goes perfectly with his dark, dark navy suit before he remembers he should look at not just her hand. Unfortunately this means his eyes also decide to drag up the soft, simple black sweater she's wearing and how it's tucked into her high-waisted black jeans and somehow that outfit looks so much better than the full suit he'd put on this afternoon.
Natasha's nails are biting into his sleeve. Just enough to get him out of his own head.
"Nat?"
"Clint." she answers, "I've gone about this all wrong, haven't I?"
"Gone about…. The holiday party wrong?"
She sighs, a look between amusement and exasperation appearing on her face that seems to only be there when she's dealing with him.
"No. Asking you out." A small grin appears on her face, "So. Take me out sometime?"

*heart eyes*
Ever since the first time I heard "he made a different call", I've wanted somebody to write a fic based on that song. Thank you for doing it so well. <3
