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: The Privilege is Mine (Teen and Up; content warning for part four)
Content Warning: Part ‘FOUR’ is the whump scene, with injury and non-specific talk of assisted dying.

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?”
