Mini Promptathon: 2012 Re-Edition
February has arrived and that means it's time for our annual mini promptathon!
What is this? It’s like the big summer promptathon, only a shorter version - a fun, no-pressure event where you can post zero to as many prompts as you like, zero to as many fills as you like, and join in the squee or just quietly enjoy the fun.
We’re a Clintasha (Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff) community that welcomes ALL THINGS MARVEL. We’d like Clint and/or Natasha to show up in prompt fills somewhere, but what that means is up to you - individually or as friends, lovers, spouses, partners, gen fic, ANYTHING. Yes, that means we also welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes.)
This year’s, by discord vote, the theme is 2012 Re-edition! To set the scene: the year is 2012. Avengers has recently been released, ending MCU Phase One (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger). Those of us who didn’t get the shawarma after credits scene in our countries are frantically searching for it online. We can quote the Clintasha scenes off by heart. Fandom is going mad for the Avengers living in the Tower together or going on road trips. And if you want more marvel characters? Well, that's what comics are for. Helped by Matt Fraction and David Aja, who have just started their Hawkeye comic (issues 1-6 were released in 2012). Outside of Marvel, fuel is added to the fandom with the release of The Bourne Legacy and a Jeremy Renner photoshoot for Empire involving ropes. (If you want a blast from the past or prompt ideas: original 2012 promptathon post with masterlist links and associated posts.)
If you too would like to party like it’s 2012, please read on for the event timeline, how to leave prompts and fills, and a few rules to make sure everyone has a fun time.
TIMELINE:
NOW: the clock has been wound back to 2012, prompting has begun!
12 February: open for fills! (You can also keep prompthing.)
MIDIGHT 12 March: promptathon ends, both fills and prompts, at midnight whatever your timezone. (A masterlist of fills will be posted after.)
HOW TO PLAY
LEAVING PROMPTS
Please post each prompt in a separate comment.
Prompts can be anything – simple or elaborate, words or pictures, songs or poems, lyrics or phrases, anything that could inspire a fanwork. Use your imagination. Go wild! You can also re-use prompts from previous events, whether they were filled or not.
You can leave as many prompts as you want. We’re serious. Keep coming back. We want as many prompts as we can possibly get.
In keeping with the theme, aim to prompt like it’s 2012. As in as if nothing MCU or Marvel etc that was created after 2012 exists. (No harm, no foul for any mistakes! Any prompts and fills that contain content post-2012 just means you’ve created an alternate timeline.)
SUBMITTING FILLS
Respond by commenting in a reply to the prompt that you are filling.
The subject line of your comment should be: FILL: title, rating.
The content of your comment should start with:
> Title
> Rating (ie film ratings or AO3 style ratings)
> Any warnings OR you can say ‘choose not to warn’ (think about the AO3 warnings or take a look at our comm guidance if you’re stuck)
You can then post your entire fanwork in the comment if it’s short enough OR you can post your fanwork anywhere else on the internet and post a link to it in your comment.
Following these guidelines 1) makes it easier for people to find your fills during the event as a one-stop shop, and know what they’re clicking on and 2) makes it a LOT easier for your mods to create a masterlist at the end, without missing any of your fills. Thank you!
Consider including a teaser to catch people’s attention! If you’re posting on AO3, we have a ‘Community: be_compromised’ tag. If you’re posting on tumblr, let us know and we’ll reblog on the be_compromised tumblr. We want people to be able to find and appreciate your fills <3
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! Fills do not have to be complete or completed during the promptathon. You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them. Zero pressure; all fun.

SQUEE
We have a generic thread for comments, questions, and chat as the first comment thread in this post. We welcome chatting and cheerleading in replies to prompts and fills. (This is where posting each prompt separately and labelling the subject line of fills helps to keep things organised.) We also have a be_compromised discord server for all kinds of discussion if you prefer a chatroom-style space. (Although as above, all prompts and fills will be in this post as a one-stop shop.)
Commenting, cheerleading, and enthusiasm is a huge part of fandom and you are very welcome to join in! Yes, even if you don’t post any prompts or fills.
GENERAL RULES
Our Community Rules apply to this event. To summarise:
> No character or ship bashing. This is a positive fandom space.
> No plagiarism or use of AI.
> Please no RPF (Real Person Fanfiction) or any gossip/speculation about actors’ off-screen non-work lives, as the primary focus of this community is fictional characters.
> Please including a rating for fanworks and a warning OR choose not to warn.
> Be kind and have fun!
If you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask! The easiest way is to use the ‘Questions / Comments / Squee’ thread, which is in the first comment to this post, or ask on the Discord server. Your mods are inkvoices, CloudAltas aka franztastisch, and gsparkle.

Welcome back to 2012. We’re bringing the party to you!
FILL: Girls Do It Better (T, no warnings)
[after Berlin]
"And you're sure she was present? Because all I saw was Loki going wild with those frankly terrible holoplays."
That was, of course, Stark, who wouldn't have seen a unicorn if it were prancing right in front of his eyes. But Loki's show had merely been a distraction, something to divert everyone's attention while the real threat went unnoticed in plain sight; that was precisely Black Widow's MO. By the time the world caught on, she'd already be over in the passing lane and cruising, all pumped up and ready to teach school.
"She was there," Clint affirmed. "Trust me on that."
"Alright," Stark said, putting his hand up in the air as if to surrender to Clint's conviction. "If you say she was there, then she was there. Big deal. What can one woman do against, well, us?"
The expressions around the briefing table were a mix of open skepticism (Thor), reserved curiosity (Rogers) and a surprisingly genuine display of actually-we-should-all-know better on Doc Banner's part. Fury and Hill were not included in this evaluation; they were both quite aware of Natasha Romanoff's capabilities and probably already tallying up the potential body count this whole SNAFU could bring with it.
Because if Loki were to truly let her off the leash, there would be bodies littered from Hell to Harvard before the week was through. And Clint didn't necessarily mean in a John Rambo-esque bloodbath kind of way--lipstick and deadly charm were Natasha's weapons of choice, not getting her hands dirty when she didn't need to. A shy little smile here, a subtle touch there and before you knew it the highest standing politicians found themselves entranced and under her spell. How long had it taken her to wrap bigmouth Stark around her pinky and have him eating out of the palm of her hand? All of three minutes? And wouldn't that sonofabitch Loki just spring the biggest boner fantasizing about the chaos she could cause that way?
"Have you ever heard the phrase 'don't underestimate the weaker sex', Stark?" Hill asked dryly.
But Stark only flashed a smug grin in response. "I'm not underestimating anyone, just stating the obvious. Like, what can she really do against the likes of muscle boy over here?" He gave Rogers a good natured clap on the back. "Sic Cap on her in a one-on-one fisticuffs and I guarantee you the femme fatale act is over before it even begins."
Rogers got red in the face at the insinuation. "I would never--"
"Hit a lady?" Clint cut in, growing frustrated. "Very gentlemanly of you, but don't sweat it. Fifty bucks says you'd end up with your balls back in the freezer and your eyes in the fishbowl before you can even throw your first punch." After a moment's thought he added, "No offense, pal."
"None taken," Rogers said, looking relieved rather than offended.
Clint had worked with Natasha long enough to know just how far she was willing to go to get a job done, and that was before she had Loki winding her up like a tightly coiled spring ready to snap. Put enough pressure on her now and she'd happily go Red Alert DefCon I on her perceived enemies, launching every goddamn missile in the silos. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, to quote good old William Congreve.
"Enough!" came Fury's booming voice over the ensuing argument. He turned to Clint, expecting a solution. "She's your partner. What do you think?"
He thought: don't piss her off, but of course he couldn't say that out loud. He took a moment to consider his response.
"We have Loki, sir. She'll come for him, whether it's cloak-and-dagger or full-out warfare. We need to be prepared for both scenarios. Once she's on the ship, I'll go after her."
Fury raised an eyebrow. "Like last time?"
Clint wasn't sure how to interpret that comment--was it sarcasm? An accusation? A request?
"I'll handle her, sir," he replied firmly. He didn't say defeat her or subdue her or even contain her.
That was kinda bucking the odds.
[Might take a shot at the fight scene too, but another time. ;) ]
