Mini Promptathon of Love and Joy 2026  
As voted for on the comm discord, we’re back with a 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.

Why ‘love and joy’? Originally this annual mini event was Valentine’s themed, but it’s grown to include International Fanworks day, celebrating various new years, and getting back into the swing of things. We welcome themes in prompts and/or fills of romance, valentines, galentines, friendship, supporting each other, celebrations - but mostly, the point is that this is a little celebration of fandom love and joy.

TIMELINE

Now: we're open for prompts
Friday 20 February: you can start leaving fills (and continuing prompting)
Midnight (whatever your timezone) Sunday 15 March: promptathon is finished and we make a masterlist

HOW TO PLAY

1. Leave your prompt in a comment to this Dreamwidth post. Please post each prompt in its own separate 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.)

You don’t need a Dreamwidth account - anonymous comments are enabled. If you comment anonymously please consider including your online handle(s) in your comment so we can credit you for prompts and gift fills to you.

2. You can post fills for prompts at any time from Friday 20 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 #be_compromised or #clintasha, or @ the comm tumblr 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 or so; 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 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.

Nat and/or Clint bring back mementos from around the world when they go on mission. They keep them on display and tell anecdotes about them to their guests.

FILL: One Giant Leap (PG/K+; no warnings apply)
Clint smiled bravely as they stepped up to make the jump and Natasha returned the look, just like always. She only had one fear about time travelling to the future, and it was one she wasn’t prepared to voice, not even to him. The past was scary in its own way, but at least there were no surprises there. What bothered her most was finding that, a couple of years from now, she was done for the world, or worse, that he was, and she had been left behind to mourn.

“One small step for a hawk and a widow,” he said, eyes sparkling with fun.

“One giant leap for Avenger kind,” she replied, trying to keep up the joke.

If he noticed that she was gripping his hand like her life depended on it, he never said a word, and when they landed in the middle of the street, forward in time by the exact amount planned for, he seemed to be holding on just as tight as she had been.

“It looks the same,” she noted, eyes moving around the familiar buildings, the blue sky overhead, the grey ground beneath their feet. “You think much has changed?”

When he didn’t reply immediately, she returned her gaze to his face, only to find him staring over her shoulder, mouth hanging open with evident surprise. “Yeah, I, uh, think a couple of things have changed,” he noted, pointing for her to look.

When Natasha turned to follow Clint’s extended finger, she was pretty sure her expression matched his own, when she saw a perfect replica of the two of them just across the street, his arm around her shoulders, a sparkling ring on her left hand, and a baby bump evidently sticking out beneath her shirt.

Clint cleared his throat and turned to stare at her agog as she looked back at him in much the same way. “You really weren’t kidding about that giant leap!”

(Also available at Ao3, with some more explanatory notes!)

Clint decides to learn about Russian culture and do something nice for Natasha, like cooking a Russian dish or buying a samovar or something like that, but unfortunately Natasha tells him she doesn't know much about that due to being raised in the Red Room, not in a normal Russian family.

Fill: Back to the Future
Rating:G
Characters: Clint/Natasha, Natasha, Female OC
Warnings: None

Not for the first time, Natasha kicked herself for heading out to deal with Dreykov's henchmen on her own. The fight she'd initiated with Clint had been absolutely necessary; he didn't have the history she had with the Red Room. If he's insisted on coming with her, there was a very real chance that it would not end well and she couldn't risk that. Not with Clint. She knew without a doubt that he could handle himself against any number of adversaries, but she wasn't willing to take the risk with this. She couldn't.

That didn't stop her from wishing he had her back right now, though. Because someone who was most definitely not from the Red Room had been following her for the last several days. They were good - really good - but not as good as she was, which is why she had glimpsed their shadowy figure on at least three separate occasions.

Were they friend or foe?

Either way, Natasha didn't have the time or resources needed to deal with them in addition to the Red Room. Which is why, in a small back alley in Belgrade, she rounded on them at the last moment.

Natasha had to give it to the young girl standing at the entrance of the alley way. She didn't even flinch when she turned. She stood tall and steady, her long red braid tossed over her shoulder as she expertly aimed a high tech compound bow at Natasha's right shoulder.

"Who are you?" Natasha asked, eyes narrowed at this person who looked at her with eerily familiar blue eyes.

"Your daughter, Nicole," the girl said. "And if you and Dad can't get your acts together, I'm never going to be born."

Natasha is banned from social medias bc she has the habit to be vocal about politics (USA and Russia mostly) and she's a nightmare for the Avengers PR team. Clint is banned for another reason entirely.
