We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

OMG he's holding the food basket. That's what in his lap.

I thought it was a book. I had this elaborate headcanon about Clint just fucking LOVING BOOKS and reading all the time for funsies.

This is why in all my stories he always has a book on him.

I HAVE FAILED YOU, BASIC SHAPE RECOGNITION.

I thought it was a book, too lol. Maybe he's holding one UNDER the basket. Yep, he totally is.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

YES CLEARLY.

[daxcat79.livejournal.com]

The question is... what is he hiding UNDER THE BOOK THAT'S UNDER THE BASKET? *eyebrow raise*

Is that his "Hey Girl" face?

And then the hand in front of the mouth when he gets excited? Have you noticed that? Always! ALWAYS!

i have book headcanon too!! wHEN i FIRST SAW THE PIC OF THE SHAWARMA SCENE, i THOUGHT HE WAS WEARING FUCKING READING GLASSES AND STARING DOWN AT A BOOK. I AM STILL NOT READY TO LET GO OF THIS DREAM. it does things to me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

One of my recent stories had him reading "Little Women" over and over because fuck you that's why. (See also: the scene with Bruce in "Naked Pantomime" in which Clint just HAPPENS to have a copy of Dr. Doolittle in his bag.)

CLINT LIKES BOOKS OKAY

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

HE DOES. I HEREBY DECLARE THIS CANON.

(did he have reading glasses? omg please tell me he had reading glasses.)

CLINT/BOOKS BEST BROS FOREVER

(He has not in the ones I've written, but he may in the future. I did it to James Kirk, I can do it to Clint Barton.)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

(omg doooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.)

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

omg this is amazing and I think you should keep it all the time because clearly CLEARLY he wanted that food basket to be a book. a happy fluffytimes book about love.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

I once had an idea for a story that was something like "Clint Barton's book club" and now I have to root through my tumblr to see what it was about.

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

Please do! I love the idea of Clint hosting a book club and getting huffy when aliens attack before he got to his lovingly thought out and super detailed outline of why chapter sixteen is the best of the book FOR REASONS THAT THOR REALLY REALLY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND OKAY.

The only note I have is:
"Possible followup to sorrow- the library of Clint Barton
In which tony compares Natasha to a velociraptor, Clint doesn’t do animal jobs, and Steve has an alarming knowledge of 1930s pornography.
Also Thor thinks Katniss is kinda badass, Natasha wants to be Kristy Thomas if she grows up, and Bruce doesn’t appreciate being compared to Dr. Jekyll."

I think there was a plot to it, but I also think I posted it at 2am.

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

lol oh Steve.

Does Clint make them read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? And in return Bruce thinks they should read Water for Elephants?

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

When this is written (because it must be written) -- can they do some Jane Austen?

PLEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE?

I need this like air.

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

they have an entire Jane Austen month. (which lasts about seven months because alien invasions suck hardcore and everyone but Thor needs a new copy of Persuasion.) and Clint's favorite is Emma because she means well. Steve read them all already, but he'll read them again, because, well he's bored a lot of the time and he likes reading. Tony is UNHAPPY with the prospects of Pride and Prejudice, but he can deal with Sense and Sensibility since it's got soldiers that aren't complete nitwits and it helps facilitate conversation with Steve.

Mostly though, Clint just wants someone to recreate a drawing room and make some tiny damn sandwiches, because otherwise what good is it having a meeting to discuss their progress?

[xcziel.livejournal.com]

There should be a reverse Jane Austen Book Club Avengers AU! In the book/movie all the characters are women with one guy - flip it Clint can be the jaded Maria Bello character who just wants his damn book club and takes Jane Austen very seriously to heart and Natasha can be the hip, too cool for school interloper in the book club bro-fest who just doesn't get it. Until, of course, she does ;D

Hmmm, should Steve be the Emily Blunt character? Tony is DEFINITELY the sassy one obv...

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

And Bruce can come by and suddenly have EMOTIONS about books where he never seems to let himself have feelings and everyone has to flee the room...

I don't know where my sudden Bruce feels came from. Hmmm...

[jacedesbff.livejournal.com]

THIS!!!!! Dude, I wrote a whole freaking FIC about what book he had there!! Someone commented that, um, no, ya big freak - it was his FOOD! (Okay, they were actually very sweet about it, but it was still hysterical.) HA!
