3 Sentence Fics Challenge  
Hi All, it's almost time for our annual summer promptathon at the end of July. As a warm up, we're bringing back an old favourite: a 3 Sentence Fics Challenge!

How to play:

1) Leave a (short) prompt in a comment. You can leave as many prompts as you like, but please put each prompt in a seperate comment.

2) Reply to prompts with three sentence fics. Grammar can be suspect, but fills must be ONLY THREE sentences long! You can fill to as many prompts as you like and prompts can have multiple fills. You can even fill your own prompts, or post a fill as a continuation of other people's fills. The more writing the better!

3) Prompts and fills both end midnight (whatever your timezone) Sunday 24 July.

Things to note:

> Prompts and fills can include any Marvel characters.

> Please add a warning at the top of your prompt and/or fill if it contains spoilers/speculation relating to any Marvel films/tv shows released in the last six months including Hawkeye TV.

> Please include a rating and warnings (OR 'choose not to warn') at the start of any fllls. Please label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) in the subject line / at the start and post under a cut.

> Have fun!

FILL: Heatwave
"I hope there aren't any leeches or other nasty critters in this lake," Clint says as he strips off his tac suit and hurls himself into the cool, but not entirely unmurky waters.

He surfaces a few minutes later, a big smile on his face and decidedly more refreshed-looking than at any time over the endless week they'd spent in the brutally humid heat of the Colombian jungle.

"C'mon in," he motions to Natasha (who is still thinking about it), "and just for the record, you get much cooler when you take everything off."

Jurassic #8
And the final one...


It takes longer than Natasha'd like for them to get a shower and a change of clothes (seriously, did SHIELD really have to run the whole decontamination routine when they were still on earth with known carbon-based creatures the whole darn time, even if they were from a few million years ago?) but its worth it when they finally get released and she can pull on a softly worn t-shirt of Clint's over her freshly scrubbed body.

Clint's waiting in the bedroom for her and she tucks herself up under his arm and snuggles into his chest, warm and comfortable and so tired that she can barely keep her eyes open.

"As crazy as today was, there's no one I'd rather handle dinos and mysterious portals with," she murmurs, finally giving in to the urge to closes her eyes as Clint rumbles his agreement and pulls her even closer to him.

Jurassic #1
Doubling down, baby! *g*
(now numbered for your convenience)


It's a routine assignment - well, as routine an assignment as it gets for the Avengers lately, what with alien invasions and murderous robots and mysterious sex pollen - but routine enough.

A portal has appeared in midtown and they need to figure out how to keep whatever's on the other side of the portal out of New York and how to close the mystical doorway while they're at it.

Clint dares to say out loud that it will be easy-peasy (Natasha warns him that's a huge mistake, but does he listen?) and sure enough, as soon as he says it, Stark and Strange start fighting about the best way to do what they need to and everything goes to hell and pretty soon they're not in modern day New York anymore; they're stranded in the Jurassic era.

I can't help it, I'm on a roll. *g*

The stegosaurus pauses and Clint doesn't know much at all about dino behavior but he's certainly seen his fair share of dogs and cats and other animals and if he isn't mistaken Natasha's new best friend is about to --

Natasha looks at him, clearly thinking the same thing, and they both turn on their heels and run as fast as they can, but nothing can stop the stench that wafts after them.

It isn't until they stop running and take shelter in the underbrush by some giant pine-like tree that Clint dares say, "Well, I guess this little jaunt has gone to shit for both of us, hasn't it?"

Sequel to the poop ficlet...

They're still bickering over whose fault the trip back in time was and whose fault their current smelly disaster is when they hear a huge crash behind them and both whip around to look.

It's Clint's turn to choke back a laugh when he sees a giant stegosaurus - the same one who for some inconceivable reason has taken a shine to Natasha and has been following her around the whole day - come lumbering towards them, trees and plants falling left and right as he trudges through the greenery.

Natasha shoots Clint a glare, one that clearly warns him not to say a word, but it's too late and "Timber!" is out of his mouth before he can stop it.

Dinosaur poop
cassie: powerpuff clint[personal profile] kiss_me_cassie on July 10th, 2022 09:31 pm (UTC)
Clint stops dead in his tracks and stares down at the black goo now stuck to his boots, realizing with sudden horrifying clarity that the hideous smell he's been smelling for the past several minutes is coming from the muck he's standing in.

"Please, please, no.... C'mon, it can't be, can't it?" he moans.

From where she's safely standing twenty feet away, Natasha barely holds back her laugh as she says,"It can be and most certainly is, but if you think I'm helping you clean that literal crap off your boots, you have another think coming, because its bad enough we got sucked back into this godforsaken land of the dinosaurs - I did not sign up for dinosaur poop clean-up, too."

When Coulson's newest Agent texts him, 'Lost Barton, need help with extraction', he replies with, 'Delta has no extraction plan; you knew that going in', and returns to enjoying his Sunday brunch with no guilt whatsoever. After all, he had warned her about the risks when Barton laid out the parameters for this particular operation.

Somewhere in a sea of fake bedrooms Natasha Romanoff scowls at her phone and mutters, "Futzing IKEA."

Hair Ruffle

Clint might start a mission looking professional and put together, but inevitably he'll lie in bird poop to get the perfect shot or fall in a river or somehow end up a mess, and when Natasha has seen him outside of work he's not been any different, just generally a different kind of mess - bed-head and pillow creases on his face from having just woken up, sweaty and rumpled from archery, paint splattered from helping someone in his apartment - maybe because whatever he does, he does with his whole self regardless of the consequences.

He just doesn't look right like this, not just the way he's lying so still in the hospital bed but how he's been... arranged, clean and neat and tidy, by the well-intentioned staff.

"It's alright," Natasha says quietly, gently ruffling his hair, "I got your back."

The art of falling (Rating Mature)
"You'll catch me right?" Clint asks, outstretched arms taking up most of the king sized bed.

He's posed it as a question though his tone does nothing but state the complete trust he has in her, he must have to let her do this.

"Always" Natasha whispers running her nails against his chest, a promise for as long as he is hers.

Jurassic #2
"Hey, Nat, look at me," Clint chortles, and Natasha looks over to see he's climbed halfway up some giant overgrown vine and is actively swinging back and forth from it. "It's a literal jungle gym!"

Which, yeah, that was pretty damned clever, and yes, his current position is doing some amazing things for his pecs and biceps, and sure, if she has to be stuck in the Jurassic era she'd rather be stuck with Clint than anyone else but hasn't he noticed that they're stuck in the Jurassic era, but of course he doesn't because he's Clint and sometimes (only sometimes) she wonders if she hasn't made a huge mistake trading in the Red Room for SHIELD.

Jurassic #6
It turns out the stegasaurus (who Clint has nicknamed Snuffles because that's the kind of noise he - she? - keeps making) isn't so very bad after all espcially since she (he?) is great at alerting them to other nasties that keep trying to sneak up on them.

Snuffles doesn't seem to care much about the small compsognathus that keep herding in on them, though, and before Natasha knows it, Clint's at the bottom of a dino puppy pile, cooing a the damned things like their his best friends.

"What?" he laughs as he gives one a scritch on its neck, "You can adopt a stegosaurus but I can't adopt any dino puppies?

Jurassic #7
There's a bright flash of light and before Natasha can open her mouth to ask what fresh hell awaits them now, they're sucked back into the middle of modern Manhattan and the portal is gone.

"Sorry, we would have zapped you back earlier but the good Doctor here broke the damned thingamajig that would have …oh my god, what is that awful smell?" Stark asks as he wrinkles up his nose at them.

"Dinosaur poop," Natasha says with a glare, adding, "And if you think this smells, you should get a load of what dinosaur breath smells like."

Cuts So Deep
"C'mon, Romanoff," Stark wheedles for the umpteenth time, "You're an assassin and an expert at cutting people to the quick - surely you must have a favourite knife."

He's been on her case now for ten minutes; it looks like he's finally worn her down; Tony leans forward and licks his lips in eager anticipation of her answer.

She pointedly glares at him over her vodka glass and utters a single, sharp word: "No."

The two agents look at each other for a second before Romanoff's left eyebrow twitches and Barton veers right, vaults over the parked car while nocking one of his arrows; he takes down what had looked to Coulson from his own perch like a perfectly innocent busker, except for the gun that clatters out of the man's violin case as he collapses on top of it.

Romanoff herself dekes left, bumping into the gum-chewing fake-Gucci-bag salesman (if you can call an elbow to the larynx "bumping into"), pulls her Glocks and fires into two second-floor windows; the falling glass decants two rifle-wielding thugs onto the sidewalk.

Both of them disappear into the building to wreak whatever additional havoc inside, while Coulson sighs into his comms system: "You know, Widow, as your handler I should really have a translation manual for those eyebrows of yours."

Bikini Body (PG, sexism)
Sadly, it's not ususual for a talk show host interviewing the Avengers to throw sexist comments at Natasha, but the latest asshole is especially shitty: following questions on the risks they face, injuries they've received, and trying to find out what scars they have, he winks at Natasha and says, "I guess that full body uniform covers all of yours, right; bet you look really awful in a bikini."

There's a moment where Natasha is clearly - to those who know her - reminding herself why commiting assauly on live television would be a bad idea, and where most of the other Avengers need a moment to process what the hell they just heard, but Clint, who's sitting next to her, is already leaning foward.

"Every body is a beach body," he says, deadpan, "and I rock a purple bikini."
