Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

Characters: Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Kate Bishop
Word Count: 364
Summary: Clint whines. Natasha makes him do it anyway.
Author’s Notes: I had an open prompt night on my Tumblr and I’m archiving some of the stories here. The prompt was to write any of my characters having difficulty with a writing assignment. This is what happened.

( “Why does Coulson even need to know about things like childhood pets? Mine were elephants because of the circus. That’s not that interesting. ‘When I was nine, my pet was Bobo the elephant. He was big and gray. I liked him but he smacked me with his trunk. The end.’” )

Title: The Magic of Tumblr
Fandom: Captain Marvel
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Pairings: Carol/Jess

Fandom: Chuck, The Avengers
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Pairings: None
Characters: Carina Miller, Jane Foster, Sarah Walker, Lady Sif
Word Count: 340
Summary: Four very unlikely friends meet up for a girls’ night. It probably won’t end well.

Warnings: None
Pairings: None
Characters: Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Cliff Secord

Author’s Notes: I think somebody typo’d, but I’m an awful person that couldn’t resist.

( Tony couldn’t decide if the more impressive thing about him was the streamlined gold helm—with the rather large dent in it—he wore or the rocket pack strapped to his back, but either way: “Seriously?” )

Another entry in the "Fic and Dash" pool for the day. This one was supposed to be a lot shorter than it turned out to be. Happy Christmas Eve!

( “Stranger things have happened, Agent Romanoff.” “No,” Natasha says. “No, they haven’t.” )

I had the most godawful migraine this morning (to the point where food was one of those things that happened to other people, not me), but I’ve since managed to kick it. I think. My head feels a little padded and cottony, like it’s stuffed full of something, but since I’m not actively whimpering, I don’t caaaaaare.

My condolences to my beta reader, who is only halfway through my Secret Santa story and has miles to go before he sleeps. When he received it, I think I heard a faint, helpless bleat from his direction. I hope his tears are warm comfort to him as he falls asleep every night.

Maybe I should buy him a Christmas gift or something.

Thanks to inkvoices for my awesome new icon. It’s one of those “You had to be there to get it” things, but I adore it like nothing else. **huggles it**

Also, here are a couple of icons I made:

Title: An Accord of Sorts

Rating: PG-13 (implied violence, some language)
Fandom: Avengers
Pairings: Gen, Maria Hill, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Original Characters
Summary: Natasha underestimates somebody. It’s a first.
Length: 1431 words

So this is for a writerverse challenge. I was supposed to write a scene I wrote from a new perspective. I wrote the original in third person limited with Maria Hill, so I chose first person for Natasha Romanoff. I don’t like writing fic in first person, so it...was a challenge. Yeah.

( I can’t even imagine what ‘girl talk’ would be like with these two )
