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: On the Edge (With You) - PG - Incomplete, No Warnings
Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about social media influencers and any goings on behind the scenes. All I know is what I see on L&O or CSI when one of these yahoos is the victim du jour.

Why yes, I am heavily stealing from https://www.tiktok.com/@blumineck aka the Archery Guy aka David The Arrow Bard (he has a name! wheee!) But c'mon! It's PERFECT.

This is the opening scene. I'm gonna try REALLY hard to finish this sometime in the next 6 months. ::crosses fingers::


-----

Clint felt like a stalker as he stood outside Tea & Crumpets and worried about what his best approach was to convince Natasha Romanoff - aka TheBlackWidow - to collaborate with him on a few tiktoks.

Because while Clint had a decent viewing on his tiktok channel and was generally satisfied with the income it brought in, the boiler in the building he owned in BedStuy had gone out again. He didn't aspire to a lavish lifestyle and he was lucky enough to own the building outright thanks to his brother, but boilers weren't cheap. It was going to take some serious cash to get a new one.

Kate had been the one to initially bring up the idea of joining forces with another tiktokker to bring in new viewers and some additional revenue. He's been reluctant at first but the more he'd thought about it (and the more Kate pressured him) the better the idea had seemed, until he'd finally given in and agreed.

And given the collaboration idea he'd come up with, Natasha Romanoff was the perfect choice for a partner.

(It wasn't because he had a ridiculous crush on her. It wasn't. Honestly. SHUT UP, KATE.)

Which brought him to where he was now, standing on the sidewalk across from the fancy gourmet tea shop Natasha favored amd watching her through the window like some kind of stalker. She was curled up on one of their sofas, looking more adorable than she had any right to wearing basic black leggings and an oversized sweat-shirt that slipped off her shoulder each time she turned a page in her book. He itched to tuck one of the stray curls that kept falling into her face back behind her ear and then place a quick kiss on her pert, upturned nose…

Clint groaned. He really should have thought this through a little more. He was in no position to be approaching her about this crazy collab. But it was either this or hocking his bow (never gonna happen), so he really didn't think he had much choice.

With a sigh, he straightened his shoulders and made his way across the street, hoping like hell inspiration would strike before he reached her. And that he wouldn't make an absolute fool of himself.

The odds weren't good.

As he came to a stop right in front of her, he noticed she was reading a marketing textbook, not some sappy romance or heavy tome of classic literature like he'd assumed. Huh. He filed that little tidbit away for later. But now… Well, now he had to wow her with his fantastic, not-at-all crazy idea.

He cleared his throat. "Um, hi."

She plastered a polite smile on her face as she looked up, but her complete indifference changed the moment she got a good look at him.

"You're Clint Barton," she breathed, her eyes going wide.

"Uh, yeah," he said, confused. She knew who he was? "I'm not sure if you've seen any of my tiktoks but -"

"I've seen all of them," she blurted.

He blinked. "Really?

"Really. I love them," she said, breaking out in a dazzling smile. "The combination of athletic grace and the goofball charm are amazing. I particularly liked the one where you shot at the that chapel bell."

He groaned. She'd seen that one? The one that Kate had dared him to do and that had gotten him in a host of trouble with her school?

Shit. He hadn't been prepared for this, not in a million years.

Scratching at his neck, he started again. "So, um, I know its weird that I'm approaching you like this, but I've seen your stuff and I was wondering- that is- would you -"

"Yes."

He stopped and cocked his head at her, a small smile tugging at his lips despite himself. "You don't even know what I was going to ask."

"You want to know if I'll make one with you," she said, her head bobbing up and down in an excited nod. "And the answer is yes. Absolutely."
