Mini Promptathon of Love and Joy 2025
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. It's 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.
This year we're returning to one of our classic promptathon themes of love and joy. You can use any interpretation of these themes in your prompts and/or fills if you like - romantic, valentines, platonic, friendship, supporting each other, celebrations - but the point is that this is a little celebration of fandom love and joy itself.
Timeline
Now: we're open for prompts
Sunday 9 February: you can start leaving fills (and continuing prompting)
Midnight (whatever your timezone) Friday 28 February: February is over and so is mini promptathon
How To Play
1. Leave your prompt in a comment to this post. Please post each prompt in its own seperate comment. Prompts can be anything. You can re-use prompts from past events if you like, whether they were filled or not. You can leave as many prompts as you like. (Yes, seriously.)
2. You can post fills for prompts at any time from Sunday 9 February by replying in a comment to the prompt. The subject line of your comment should be: FILL: title, rating.
At the start of your comment please include:
> Title
> Your online handle(s) (if you don't have a dreamwidth account)
> 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 post your entire fanwork in the comment if it’s short enough AND/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!
There’s no length requirement on fanworks submitted and you can create any type of fanwork. You can fill as many prompts as you want, and prompts can be filled multiple times by whoever wants to fill them. If you don't manage to finish your fill during the event, please do still share, it just won't be counted in the masterlist.
3. Sharing the joy! If you post your fill on tumblr, tag the comm and we'll reblog. If you’re posting on AO3, we have a ‘Community: be_compromised’ tag. And we'll post a masterlist of all fills on dreamwidth and tumblr after the event.
Rules
1) Our community rules apply to this event and everyone taking part in it. You do not need to be a member of our community or have a dreamwidth account (or any other specific account) to be involved.
2) As in the community rules, all fills must have a rating and a warning/'no warning applies'/'choose not to warn'. Consider including a warning for spoilers of any media that's been released in the last 6 months; not everyone has Disney+ or can get to the cinema.
3) We ask for fills to contain at least a mention of Clint and/or Natasha in some way because we love them, but the whole, wide Marvel Universe is yours to play in. We welcome other characters and pairings (and threesomes or moresomes).
Thank you!
If you have any questions please comment in in the 'Questions' thread at the top of this post or contact a mod - inkvoices, CloudAltas aka franztastisch, and gsparkle. You're also very welcome to join us on Discord and tumblr.

FILL: 50 Ways To Leave Your Partner (Dead) [T, no warnings]
They’d been holed up in a busted surveillance van for almost seven hours, watching an abandoned warehouse that couldn’t be more lifeless if it tried. No guards, no shipments, nothing but a big, fat bust of a day. Even a guy like him, whose whole skill set was built around waiting, was struggling to stay awake.
Half-slumped in the driver’s seat, Clint let out a long sigh. His gaze drifted to Natasha, who lounged in the passenger seat with her feet propped on the dash. She was leisurely flipping through a magazine titled BAKE (an under-the-seat rental freebie) that boasted a treasure trove of delectable desserts. Not that any of those recipes were likely to ever grace Natasha’s plate. She was a bit of a health nut.
Which did not help the situation at all. Apart from making Clint hungry on top of everything else.
So bored, restless, and mildly delirious from lack of activity, he decided to stir the pot.
"If you had to kill me, how would you do it?"
Natasha didn’t even bother looking up from her magazine. She merely flipped the page from The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Collection to Gourmet Muffins: How To Elevate Your Breakfast Game.
"Tash," Clint prodded. "You’re not seriously reading that, are you? Humor me."
With one precisely raised eyebrow, Natasha glanced over. "By hypothesizing how I’d kill you?"
“Come on. It’s either that or I start counting the dust particles in the air.”
With an exaggerated sigh, Natasha set the magazine aside and gave him a measured once-over. “I’d slit your throat and let you bleed out in the footwell. You’d be dead in under a minute.”
Clint blinked in mock shock. “Jesus.”
Natasha simply shrugged, picked the magazine back up, and added, "You asked."
“Well, yeah, but damn.”
Another page turn. This time it was Perfect Scone Pairings. And, almost in afterthought, “Why? Would you prefer something else?”
“I’d prefer you not to be so casual about my hypothetical murder.”
“You brought it up,” Natasha said. “I’m just answering.”
Clint drummed his fingers on the wheel, then decided that counting dust was not even such a bad idea. Or maybe the bad guys could finally show up, thank you very much.
But five minutes later, he couldn’t help himself from blurting out: “I’d snipe you, obviously.”
Natasha’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly as she turned another page, this time glancing at a recipe for blueberry glaze. She looked up then, studying him a smugness that was just shy of arrogant, the way someone who’s holding four aces looks at their opponent still trying to figure out if they should fold.
Then she turned back to the blueberries in the glossy print, wrinkling her nose.
“Assuming I’m just standing there like an idiot and letting you get a clean shot. How lazy. That’s a coward’s kill.”
Clint placed a dramatic hand over his chest. "Good to know what you think of my specialization."
Natasha didn’t even dignify him with a glance. “I just expected more from you.”
Clint scoffed. “Like what, something cinematic? A rooftop standoff? A long, drawn-out chase through the streets?”
“You’d trip over your own bow trying to make it dramatic.”
“Oh, and you’d be any better?” he shot back. “I bet you’d pull the seduction card.”
That marked the end for BAKE. Natasha’s mouth fell open slightly. She took her feet off the dash. “Wow,” she said, affronted. "You really jumped ahead to that one.”
Clint leaned back smirking. “What? You wouldn’t kill me in bed?”
Natasha shut the magazine, tossed it aside, and folded her hands primly in her lap, like she was about to lecture a child.
“I mean, I wasn’t thinking about it,” she admitted. “But now I am, thanks.” She tilted her head, considering. A little too seriously. Then, finally, she shook it. "No. It'd be too easy."
Clint frowned, now insulted. “It wouldn’t be.”
“It would.”
To prove her point, she leaned in, just slightly. Not enough to be obvious. Just enough to test him. Clint did not react. At least, not noticeably. Mostly.
“I’d make you think you're safe first,” Natasha said. “Let you relax. Let you think you had me where you wanted.”
Clint grinned. “I would have you where I wanted.”
She hummed, noncommittal. Then she went in for a kiss, the real deep type, and Clint's brain all but short-circuited as all available resources were rerouted to, well, lower levels. Natasha let him have it for a few more moments before pulling away, slowly, with relish.
Then she mimed a quick, clean motion, dragging her finger across the delicate skin of his throat.
Clint grimaced. “That’s rude.”
“Deadly,” she corrected, leaning back into the seat, supremely pleased with herself.
Clint shook his head, muttering under his breath. “Gonna kill me in a damn van, unbelievable…”
Natasha just smiled and leaned back, stretching her arms behind her head. “What can I say? I’m efficient. Now, are we blowing off this op, or what?”

FILL: The Privilege is Mine (Teen and Up; content warning for part four)
Two cakes for this prompt 😊
The Privilege is Mine
ONE
The Black Widow looks him up and down.
Clint shifts his weight, feeling the mat give a little beneath the soles of his bare feet. He already knows he’s not as good at hand-to-hand as his new partner, but this spar isn’t about winning. Like all of their training this week, it’s about testing each other out and starting to learn how they can best work together.
“Bring it.” He crooks a finger at her and grins, ignoring the way it makes his split lip sting.
Natasha considers him for a moment longer. Then she… changes. She doesn’t move, but it’s like whoever she was before has left the room and a whole other person is now standing in front of him. Her posture, facial expression, body language; everything about her is telling him that this is someone else and, even though Clint hasn’t looked away and knows it’s still Natasha, his brain is still tripping over itself.
“Well that’s a mindfuck,” he says, admiring.
It’s one thing to have heard that this is something Widows can do and another thing entirely to experience it in person.
“Thanks,” Natasha tells him, with a cute little smile.
She ducks her head, then glances at him again from under her lashes and flashes him another smile when their eyes meet.
Clint knows that she isn’t interested in him - her outright telling him, ‘I’m not interested in you’, was a huge hint there - but everything about her insists that this isn’t the same person he’s been training with and she very much is interested in him, actually.
Since he wasn’t born yesterday, he keeps his guard up as she saunters towards him.
“Clint?” she says, just loud enough to fill the space between them.
“Yeah?”
She comes to a stop, well within his reach, but he hesitates. Sometimes it’s about the shots you don’t take.
“If you had to kill me,” Natasha says with a sharp grin, “how would you do it?”
