Secret Santa 2020 Masterlist

All I Want For Christmas (Gen)
by sandy79 for quietlyimplode
Summary/Prompt: 1. Whump leading to a happy christmas of being all together and happy. She finally was back home, at least physically. But her mind is still in that old factory building, trapping her in a dark place she can’t seem to escape. Good thing she has two very determined boyfriends, who would move Heaven and Earth for her. Add a pinch of the Magic of Christmas, and the Avengers might get their very own Christmas Miracle.

Clint Barton, Disaster Bi (Teen & Up)
by inkvoices for kiss_me_cassie
Summary/Prompt: Clint’s done worse things than let Natasha know that she's hot and turns him on via emojis. Like agreeing to the rule 'no romantic feelings' when they started sleeping together, which is the dumbest thing Clint has ever done in his life.
Except he sends the message to Bucky by mistake.

Falling into Focus (Teen)
by kiss_me_cassie for paperairplanesopenwindows
Summary/Prompt: "OT3 person of your choice is a travel writer/blogger who keeps running into Nat and Clint at various exotic destinations.”

Five Times Clint "Proposed" to Natasha at Christmas (and One Time She Proposed to Him)
by paperairplanesopenwindows for sandy79
Summary/Prompt: Christmas proposal (with or without the other Avengers around; and I also leave it up to the gifter who's popping the question ;) Go nuts!

listen, there's a hell of a good universe next door (M)
by gsparkle for franztastisch
Summary/Prompt: "Listen: there’s a hell of a good universe next door; let’s go." – e. e. cummings, plus a bit of "this friends with benefits situation was not supposed to develop feelings" and "(774): i just walked into a room at this party and someone yelled "dibs!""

Oh my god, they were roommates (in 2012)! (M)
by alistra for alphaflyer
Summary/Prompt: SHIELD believes in being economical with its funds when it comes to on-base accommodations. Clint Barton believes in fucking with the system at any given opportunity. Natasha Romanoff believes - actually Nat's just done with everybody's shit.
(Prompts: "Respect the classics: go for the tropiest tropes" and "Write like it's 2012!")

Oh, What A Shame That You Came Here With Someone
by geckoholic for sorcer3sssupreme
Summary/Prompt: Die Young by Kesha (aka Clubbing but make it OT3)

Outrun the Night (NC17)
by quietlyimplode for geckoholic
Summary/Prompt: All except the 1920s

Pins and Needles (Teen)
by alphaflyer for alistra
Summary/Prompt: “Thwarted timely acquisition of seasonal gifts or failing to even pick one.”
‘Barton!!!’ booms Tony Stark’s voice, triggered by a mechanism buried in the spine of the card. ‘Pepper says I should invite you to my party. Against my better judgment, I am. Bring a date, if you can find someone willing - or subdue someone who’s not. And wear a clean t-shirt. Be there or be square!’
There's only one issue with that invitation: Natasha might be there.

Safe Harbour (Teen)
by franztastisch for gsparkle
Summary/Prompt: Lighthouse AU

Some things you will remember (T)
by sorcer3sssupreme for inkvoices
Summary/Prompt: Natasha Romanoff is Steve Rogers' best friend. Natalia Romanova is the Winter Soldier, fist of HYDRA and mentor to the Black Widow, James Barnes. But when the Black Widow defects to join SHIELD, it sets these two personas-- and two men from her past-- on a collision course.
(for the prompt: "AU: James Barnes is the Russian assassin Clint Barton brings in from the cold and into SHIELD. Natasha Romanoff is the Winter Soldier. (This could be gen, any pairing, or threesome!)" and also "Everyone lives in the Tower fic or team!family fic." because I couldn't help myself)

And a little note from your mods:

It’s been a hell of a year and, for us, being part of this corner of fandom has been a big part of getting through it. It’s been a delight spending time with all of you lovely lot. Your creativity, enthusiasm, and kindness is what makes this community what it is and we can’t thank you enough for that <3

We hope we’ve managed to brighten up your year, even if just a little, with comm events. While there’s light at the end of the tunnel, we’re not quite there yet, so we plan to keep the pace up if we can. At the moment ideas include something in the new year (maybe a Zoom or discord gathering?) and a Valentine’s Mini Promptathon. Please do comment or message us with any ideas and thoughts on what you’d like to do!

For now, we hope you have a happy, healthy holiday season and wish you all the best for New Year 2021.
