Halloween: Trick or Treat  
Hello, hello, hello folks of the bar! As we creep towards Halloween this weekend we bring you a Trick or Treat event:

How To Play:
- Choose 'trick' or 'treat' and pick a number from 1 to 10
- Comment to this post with your choice
- Look behind the cut to see which trick or treat surprise prompt you've picked! These will be simple one or two word prompts. Tricks will be darker (eg vampire, night) and treats lighter (eg toffee apple, costume), but you can interpret them however you like.
- Reply to your comment with a flash fic OR a three sentence fic OR a rec (fic, art, fanvid, anything) related to your prompt
- It would be good to celebrate this Halloween weekend, but we're setting a final cut off date of midnight (whatever your timezone) Sunday 22 November. If you've not fllled prompts by then, Halloween has gone, whoosh, don't worry about it because Secret Santa is around the corner...

Rules:
- Prompts will go live behind the cut on Friday, but you're welcome to join the fun after that as well, just try not to be a sneaky master assassin and don't peek behind the cut before you've made your choice ;)
- You can pick as many tricks and treats as you like or just stick with one, or you complete one and then come back for more
- The rules of the Comm apply, so please provide a rating and either no warnings apply (NWA) / choose not to warn (CNTW) / warnings (ie as on AO3) so no one gets an unwanted fright
- Please comment to this post with any questions
- Have fun!

Hi, there's 10 tricks and 10 treats, so you can have number 8 from both of them if you like. Tricks and Treats will be revealed on Friday :)

FILL: A Murderer Was A Worthy Companion
I have written a ficlet! It's a Subtle Knife/His Dark Materials fusion, Clint & Natasha, Teen and Up (warnings: an unnamed bad guy gets stabbed, missing fingers, blood), 700 words.

Summary: Natalia points the knife at him and Clint can’t help but flinch.

Trick and Treat #10 please! Happy to give one up if there's not enough to go around. (And I will try not to feel guilty about all the ficlets I didn't write last year, because real life and wifi in Africa sucked, oops)

No problem, muliple people cain take the same prompts!

(Hopefully this makes it less pressure this year, because I think we all had that problem. I had one left, which was for you actually...only it's not a ficlet...and not really your prompt any more...because it became the next demon!AU fic. Which obviously I still need to finish. Yay? Oops? *grins*)

OK so since Ali picked trick 10 as well, I'll change mine to Trick 9, Treat 10!

Ooh, I have not seen this kind of fest before.

Trick 2!
inkvoices[personal profile] inkvoices on October 29th, 2020 09:29 am (UTC)
We're trying out an idea - hopefully it goes smooth! :)
sandy79: hawkeye[personal profile] sandy79 on October 28th, 2020 03:28 am (UTC)

Lucky Number 7 for both trick and treat, please?

That sounds like a song from A Chorus Line... :D

"Dance Ten, Looks Three..."
[personal profile] alistra on October 28th, 2020 05:27 pm (UTC)
I'm still on unemployment, dancing for my own enjoyment
That ain't it kid, that ain't it kid!

No joke that song was 100% why I picked those numbers. X-D

Almost A Feminist Holiday, gen, no warnings apply, Bucky & Clint & Natasha, 324 words
(Trick 10: sexy, Treat 3: scary movie Big thanks to gsparkle for reading this over before posting!)

"Save your breath, I am not going to a Halloween party themed sexy-slash-scary movie," Natasha insists, shaking her head for emphasis. "Especially not one Tony throws."

"Actually," Bucky says, not looking up from the video game where his avatar is reducing Clint's to a red-flickering mess of unhappy pixels, "Pepper and Maria are accountable this year. All profits go to some women's rights charity - I forgot the name. Steve probably knows it, if you really want to know."

"That's laudable, but it's still gonna be the same sexist costume bullshit as every year and I'm just so tired of breaking some drunk guy's fingers cause they can't keep them to themselves." Natasha opens the smaller one of the two gift-wrapped boxes that have been delivered to her and Clint's apartment along with the invitations. "See? This is exactly what I meant!"

She dangles a headband with large bunny ears in the guys' direction, other hand holding a pair of skimpy panties with a matching fluffy bunny tail.

Clint throws his game controller onto the table in frustration as the screen declares him the loser of the match and glances over. "Oh no, I think you got the boxes mixed up. Yours is the other one."

Surprised, Natasha has a look and indeed, the label on the larger box carries her name. Opening the box reveals a straight, floor-length black gown with an oversized hood and a collapsible staff thing that turns out to be a plastic scythe.

"The slutty bunny is for me," Clint grins, booting up a rematch. "Only guys will be allowed in with sexy costumes this year. I was hoping you'd stay at my side all night and protect my virtue in your grim reaper costume."

"That's... marginally better," Natasha admits, regarding the bunny tail with new appreciation.

Bucky beats Clint's avatar again without even looking and waggles his eyebrows at her: "Just wait 'till you see my kitty ears."

OH, what an interesting idea, having only the guys allowed in sexy costumes and the women getting to be scary and for a women's charity Halloween event. Well played! I love how casual Clint and Bucky are about this, and that it sounds like they're the ones that ordered the costumes so picked however terrible theirs are going to be, lol.

You know they'd have a ball with this. Just wait until you see the Sexy Eagle Scout costume they ordered for Steve. ;D

Thanks for the kind words. x

Because really, there is nothing I could write here that would fit quite as perfectly as my fic from The Summer Promptathon 2020 that I wrote for [personal profile] alistra. So here: Not My Cat, which is about... a lost cat. xD
