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.

<3

So Clint & Kate or Clint/Kate are my obsession right now. I'd love to see a supernatural something with Natasha's spirit watching over Clint. Because honestly, I don't think she'd be able to just leave him to his own devices, no matter how competent he is.

Ooo this has the potential for something sad but also some good comic shenanigans, heh.

My mind immediately went to a ghostly Nat telling Clint how he should parent Kate and him asking her "what the hell do you know about parenting?" "Nothing," she says. "But I was a girl, which is more than we can say about YOU."

FILL: NPC (PG; MCU Endgame compliant)
NPC

“Come on,” Natasha says, rolling her eyes, “is this really how you die?”

Clint leaves himself wide open for the foam sword to catch him in his plastic-armoured chest. It’s not enough to knock him over, but he at least crouches down, hanging his head with a sigh, as the LARP crowd goes wild.

“Poor form. And where’s the sound effects?” Natasha complains. “Put some effort in, Barton. At least collapse on the ground.” She turns to the woman who seems to be running things. “The Russian judge gives it a three out of ten.”

Naturally, no one reacts to the ghostly presence in their midst.

“Now we burn the corpse!” the woman yells.

Clint’s head - and his eyebrows - pop up and Natasha bursts out laughing.

“Oh, I like you,” Natasha tells her. “And you do too,” she informs Clint, crouching down next to him. “Don’t bother lying to yourself; you know it’s not just that Kate you’re going to be adding to your collection of strays. And don’t pout.” She smiles. “We’re good for you.”



Author Note: NPC = Non-Player-Character; a character who is prescribed a large part of their background by the gamemaster, or can be compared to a movie ‘extra’ or supporting cast.

FILL: NPC Part 2 (PG; MCU Endgame compliant)
Grills holds out his hand to help Clint up from his heroic death. Clint grabs it, not so much out of sportsmanship (because fuck that whole "good loser" thing) but because, well, the old bones aren't what they used to be.

Neither of them remembers that the freshly fallen snow in Central Park hasn't fixed yesterday's freezing rain, it just covered it up. And before you can say "oops", they're both down, rather inelegantly and abruptly.

"Ouch," Clint says. He rubs his head as he sits up; that ice patch was just as hard as it looks, now that the snow cover is gone.

"And that's six point five on the dive," a familiar voice chuckles close to his ear.

Clint frowns and shakes his head. What the hell...

"Nat?" he says and looks around. And then he sees it...sees her. That flash of red hair, bright in the winter sun even as it is translucent. The crooked grin. Those eyes, focused on his own first with a twinkle, then a wink.

The cold falls away. Even the fact that his butt remains in direct contact with wet snow and ice becomes irrelevant as Clint feels a sudden warmth fill every fibre of his being.

"Of course you'd pick a moment like this to turn up," he says. "Humiliation fetish, or what?"

"Just making sure you don't spend all your time moping around," the smoky voice whispers into the wind. "I'll be back."

And with that, the vision of Natasha fades, leaving behind a sense of hope and reassurance Clint hasn't felt in a long time. He gets back on his feet - without assistance this time - and dusts the snow off his jacket and pants.

The LARPers, ignoring poor Grills' struggles to find his feet, stare at him in concern.

"You okay?" Missy asks. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Nah," Clint says. "Just a spot of cognitive recalibration."
