Mini Promptathon of Love  
February has arrived and that means it's time for our seasonal mini promptathon!

What is this? It’s like the big summer promptathon, only a mini version and there’s a general theme of Heart’s Day and love - romantic, platonic, friendship, you name it. UST? Developing romantic feelings? Badass mission? A need for quiet time and hugs? Excessive consumption of pink cupcakes? Angst and hurt/comfort? Alternate universes? Poly relationships? Natasha or Clint dating other people? Clint or Natasha spending time with friends? All welcome here!

How To Play:

1. Leave your prompt in a comment to this post. List each prompt as its own separate comment. Prompts can be generic, Marvel, or include a mention of Clint and/or Natasha. You can leave as many prompts as you want.

2. Post your fill, or a link to your fill - be it fic, art, a video of you performing an interpretive dance, etc - as a reply to the prompt comment. If you're posting a link it's a good idea to include a summary or the first few paragraphs of your fic as a teaser. Prompts can absolutely be filled multiple times by multiple people!

3. We'll create a masterlist post at the end to make sure that everyone gets to see your creations!

Rules:

1) Fills should contain at least a mention of Clint and/or Natasha in some way because we love them, but other than that the whole, wide Marvel Universe is yours to play in. We welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes).

2) Label your fill/comment in the subject line with 'FILL', your title, and a rating. As per the comm rules please include a rating and either appropriate warnings or 'choose not to warn'. If you run out of space in the subject line just add it at the start of your comment.

3) Please include a warning for any spoilers for the Marvel tv shows and films that have been released in about the last year (Love and Thunder, Wakanda Forever, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel...). Not everyone has Disney+ or can get to the cinema.

Thank you!

Timeline:

NOW - prompts are open, prompt ALL OF THE THINGS!
SATURDAY 11 FEB - FILLS ARE OPEN! Prompting is also STILL OPEN! Enjoy :D
MIDNIGHT (your timezone) SUNDAY 26 FEB - both prompts and fills close

If you have any questions please comment in in the top 'Questions' threat of this post or contact a mod. For additional squee, our comm also has a Discord and a tumblr.

In the best tradition of fandom, it's time to share the love <3

FILL: 'Til the Last Rose
Two weeks. Fury said it would only take two weeks.

Two agonizing months later, Clint Barton trudged off of an early morning commercial flight and hailed a cab.

His partner wasn’t allowed to pick him up, making him particularly grumpy. SHIELD believed in undercover agents acting the part until they walked into debrief.

He would like to punch the person that put the word ‘brief' into that phrase knowing his was going to take hours.

Slumping against the backseat, he rubbed his eyes with both hands, thankful he had no luggage.

Eight weeks in a run down rental with a rickety bed too short for his lanky frame was eight weeks too long. He’d stayed in worse, but a certain redhead always made the misery better.

Wanting to hear the sound of her voice, Clint fished for his phone.

The cab came to an abrupt stop before he hit Natasha's number, lurching him forward.

“Asshole!” The driver shouted out the window then turned to Clint. “Sorry, sir.”

Barton shook head ‘no problem’. A sign in the corner shop window caught his eye.

He pocketed his phone.

“How much to Stark Tower?”

“Uh… around thirty-five.”

“Sorry for the sudden departure.” Barton forked over $70 and hopped out of the car.

“Thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day!” The cab driver hollered as he sped off.

A pink sign with red glitter advertised,

OPEN: 8 a.m. - ‘til the last rose

Checking his watch, Clint exhaled loudly. It was only 7:07 AM.

He knocked on the glass window.

The workers bundling flowers ignored him.

He tapped again a little louder. One woman pointed to the clock and shook her head.

Clint gave his best sad puppy face and slumped his shoulders, looking directly into her eyes.

The older woman heaved a sigh but came to the door anyway. He hid a grin. It never failed, not even with Nat.

“I'm sorry sir,” her voice was slightly muffled by the glass, “we’re trying to fill pre orders before open.”

Clint held an American Express black card between two fingers and smiled.

“How would you like to close at 8:01 today?”
