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 :)

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.
