Recs Post: Fic, Graphics, Art  
Recs in which I attempt not to replicate anything that’s already been on [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised, which is all amazing you lovely people!

The writer of Thorazine For The Lady, Knives For The Gentlemen, which has been recced here before and is brilliant (edit: um, oops, no it hasn't, but it is a brilliant Clint/Natasha fic!), has a lot of other great Clint and Natasha things on her tumblr that you should check out, including a dark Clint/Natasha AU. My favourite of hers at the moment though is 10 things Pepper knows about Natasha (and one thing Natasha knows about Pepper), a gorgeous, fun, and funny friendship fic (with some Clint in the background).

For more ladies being awesome, check out this comment fic by [livejournal.com profile] midnightcuppa with Natasha and Agent Hill, written for the prompt women in a male-dominated profession.

Clint and Steve get to have a moment in Every Friday After The War by [livejournal.com profile] ignipes (with some background Natasha).

Still Officially Lost by pollyrepeat on AO3 is a fun and touching Clint backstory fic in which Coulson, newly acquired by SHIELD, is assigned to look after a teenage Clint who is in some (read: lots of) trouble. No Natasha and no pairings, but fantastic Clint.

Also from AO3:
In Return by Siria is badass Natasha with backstory hints.
Account Rendered by Siria is Clint lying in the debrief about his first meeting with Natasha.
Team Building (with Star Wars) by eiluned has some great Clint and Natasha.
The Only John Wayne Left In This Town by gyzym is Clint/Darcy, but trust me here, because Clint has a secret love of the banjo and it starts with Clint being on the cover of Rolling Stone and having to explain this to Fury and SHEILD and you will love it. Also, he teaches Natasha guitar and there is Clint backstory.

There is a Natasha prompt fest happening on Dreamwidth here. This fill in which Nat is sick and Clint brings orange juice is my favourite so far.

Take a look at widowmaker’s tumblr for Avengers graphics and short fics, including Clint and Natasha graphics and art that are all kinds of wonderful. Her Avengers hash tag. Seriously, do not stop, do not collect £200, GO.

And, finally, Joss Whedon thanks the fans for all The Avengers support. Maybe it’s not entirely relevant to your interests, but it’s Joss and he says thank you :)

EPIC REC POST IS EPIC. :D

And wow-- I'd read everything from the Thorazine author except the Nat/Pepper fic and omg-- LOVE IT.

I'm working my way through the rest of these recs now. Thanks for putting this together!

If people make more it will get EVEN MORE EPIC :D

I love the idea of Pepper and Natasha, doing whatever. One of the few truely great things to come from Iron Man 2 was a glimpse at how those two woud be amazing together (and take no bull from Tony whatsoever).

Hope you find some more things that you like!

I love the rec posts you're doing! I keep meaning to do a fic rec post myself. I love the tumblr recs, I hadn't seen them yet!

Thanks :D Oh yes, do, more recs of everything! I keep avoiding tumblr, because I don't want to be tempted into signing up, but then I keep finding shiny things, meh.

I ENJOYED MOST OF THOSE BUT
THAT COULSON/HAWKEYE FIC! Thank you so much for that rec, it was great, easily one of my favorites I've read from any fandom ever. Except now I'm even sadder about Son of Coul. TT

I couldn't help but notice how much fantastic, quality fic has come forth from our fellow fans in such a short time after the movie came out (yeah, I know, there's a ton of source material to draw on from before the movie, but still!). I haven't thrown myself so heartily into a fandom since Lord of the Rings...so it's nice to have this geekiness back!

And a rec of my own (I feel like I owe you now for that awesome fic you showed us :3): Rivers and Roads (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8107518/1/Rivers_and_Roads) by Shtuff. Post-movie, C/N, about how they heal from all the hell they've been through recently. It's gorgeous...that's all I can say.

recs are love
Coulson is a herder of cats and Stark isn't a challenge :D I read so much fanfic before the film actually came out where Coulson lived in the Avengers mansion with the team or was basically their group handler/babysitter and when I got to this fic I was like, yeah, that's why: herder of cats. I can't think of him as anything else now *grins*.

I read a bunch of stuff before the film, based on the comics but a lot based on the marvel films that had already come out and speculation. I think we were all waiting for it and then it was better than expected, this huge build-up of fandom and we've exploded into squee, heh.

Ooo, thank you for the rec! (There always needs to be more recs! Do rec posts! *grins*) It really is gorgeous; beautiful use of repetition and I love the motiff of Clint never being able to leave Natasha behind.
