Clint And Natasha (Clintasha) Masterlist 4

Links Last Checked: June 5th, 2024

part one, part two, part three

And to hide that would be so dishonest (ao3) - Secret Identity (magnetgirl) T, 7k

Summary: On SHIELD orders, Clint and Natasha attend a four day couples retreat at a winery for the holidays. They find more than they expected.

Baby Don't You Want To Go (ao3) - Saelind T, 5k

Summary: Natasha does not like Chicago. But Chicago helps her, in so many small ways, to understand Clint Barton.

Back to You (ao3) - chezamanda T, 531

Summary: After all is said and done, Natasha knows who she can turn to.

burnt toast sunday (ao3) - ashlearose13 M, 16k

Summary: Clint tattoos people for a living, but he wouldn't be able to put up with all of the infinity symbols if it weren't for coffee. Specifically, coffee made by Natasha Romanov. The girl he has a real life, big-boy crush on.

or, the tattoo shop/coffee shop/plant??/ballet mega-au that no one asked for.

Dear Natasha (fanfiction.net) - javct T, 3k

Summary: After a mission gone wrong, Natasha is left in a coma and Clint writes letters to her; in hope that she can hear. "Dear Natasha..."

Grumpy Coffee Kitten (ao3) - rebelmeg harley/shuri, mj/peter, bucky/darcy, clint/natasha T, 26k

Summary: When Clint Barton, the owner of Bean There, Brew That, takes off on an extended vacation, he leaves his coffee shop in the hands of his trusted sidekick, Darcy Lewis. Darcy is not prepared for this, but that’s not going to stop her from keeping the shop going, keeping her sassy baristas in line, and maybe getting a tiny bit smitten with the new regular that started showing up, looking like a sleepy assassin and cooing at his coffee.

Bucky Barnes is a former soldier trying to deal with the effects of PTSD, at the encouragement of his best friend and not-actually-a-therapist Sam Wilson. It might have been sort of an accident the first time he steps into Bean There, Brew That, but it’s a first step in a really good direction. He likes the coffee shop, he likes the people that run it, and he definitely likes the sugar-soaked monstrosities that they make for him on a daily basis.

What could possibly go wrong with putting a recovering veteran in the hands of a bunch of sarcastic baristas with access to legally addictive stimulants? The answer is… not much, actually.

In the Red (ao3) - enigmaticblue T, 2k

Summary: Natasha has a lot of blood on her hands, but she hates the feeling.

Iridescent (ao3) - kibbledor T, 6k

Summary: Natasha has been terrified six times in her life, and she runs it like a cycle in her mind to remind herself that she has always seen worse. When Clint falls into a coma, however, she thinks perhaps she hasn’t known terror at all.

Keep Her In the Air (When She Ought to Fall Down) (ao3) - Telaryn E, 8k

Summary: Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff were born - and in Natasha's case bred - to serve the Alliance. No one cared when they began sleeping together; under Alliance law an Operative like Natasha could take as many sexual partners as she liked so long as it didn't interfere with her duties.

A baby would interfere. As would the very deep and very illegal feelings growing between the Operative and her favorite sniper.

Now married and on the run for a new life on the Rim, with a baby due literally any moment, Clint and Natasha cross paths with the crew of Serenity.

like a clock in a thunderstorm (ao3) - shellybelle E, 3k

Summary: Natasha is a quiet mind raised in silence, Clint a whirlwind raised in chaos. In the early days of their partnership they are drowning under the weight of unanswered questions, and when the heavens open, Natasha breaks, and Clint is a good man after all.

Observing and Listening (ao3) - execution_empress G, 1k

Summary: Tony notices something about two certain master assassins and Bruce joins in observing.

Of Languages (ao3) - QueenRiley N/R, 8k

Summary: After a life spent immersed in secrets, it was difficult to let go and learn to live without them.

Our Last Days (ao3) - enigma731 G, 1k

Summary: The property looks mostly abandoned, the fields barren, save for occasional patches of lanky corn stalks, growing rebelliously toward the sky. A few yards away to her right is the skeleton of a rusted-out car, like a sun-bleached skull in the desert. But there’s something about the house--faded white, with a dramatically sloped roof and a long porch--that resonates in Natasha's bones, that undeniably belongs to Clint.

Or, the obligatory 'Clint has a farm' fic.

Say Anything (Else) (ao3) - enigma731 T, 5k

Summary: "I got married." Clint glances down at the ring on his hand, the exaggerated nonchalance of the movement telling Natasha that his surprise is feigned. He’s been waiting for her to ask. "Her name is Bobbi, and I'm pretty sure she's the smartest woman I've ever met."

“So you met her three weeks ago,” Natasha says slowly, trying to put the pieces together in her mind, “and you fell in love and you married her in that time, while also working a S.H.I.E.L.D. op?” She can’t quite keep the skepticism out of her voice.

In which Clint is a car crash, and Natasha learns what it means to be a supportive partner.

Snippets of Life - Fantom Of The Fiction T, 8k

Summary: You know, Nat has naturally red hair. She likes to lay in bed on rainy mornings. She has this spot on the back of her neck she likes me to rub. You know, Clint’s hands may look hard and tired, but I have only ever known them as soft and warm. And he seems to like to fall asleep on his stomach. And he has this ridiculous habit of stopping for coffee everywhere we go. Major fluff.

The Company You Keep (ao3) - geckoholic E, 8k

Summary: The first time doesn't really count for either of them. They don't glorify it in hindsight or put more into it than what it was: playing with fire, slowly dragging your hand over a flame you know could burn you alive.

Clint and Natasha get to know each other in the biblical sense the first time they meet and don’t catch feelings until later.

The Last Great Border Town Hotel (ao3) - ignipes T, 4k

Summary: Natasha has a lot of weapons in her arsenal. Trust hasn't always been one of them.

the world's a little blurry (without you) (ao3) - DeltaLaurier T, 3k

Summary: Natasha falls into a coma, and the team (but mostly Clint) copes by writing letters to her.

what a wicked game to play (to make me feel this way) (ao3) - taylorswift M, 60k

Summary: After you win the Games, you lose.

OR

the hunger games au.

with your finger on the world (ao3) - ashen_key T, 4k

Summary: "We use their own weapons against them,” you say. “Humans are very good at killing each other, particularly from a distance. It'd be a shame not use the capability after they've so helpfully provided it, don't you think?”

Loki grins, the expression as bright and blinding as new snow. “I like the way you think, Agent Romanoff.”

OR: Natasha has a specific skill set; Loki heartwashes her at the New Mexico research centre, and events turn out very differently.

2012 Friday Recs - Week One

Happy Friday! Some reading recommendations for your enjoyment. No particular order and more to come.

all the transparence (in the shades of red) by @shellybelle/@geniusorinsanity

It is not always about remaking, or about reconstruction. Sometimes, it is just about trust. After New York, Natasha gives Clint a week.

Shatter me and make me whole again by @chezamanda/@chezamanda

Following a honeypot mission, Clint is feeling jealous and Natasha realizes a long-held fantasy.

we were emergencies by @gyzym/@gyzym

It's not about being unmade; it's about remaking, one aching step at a time.

there is no beginning by @orphan_account

Clint does not become; Clint is not, and then Clint is.

Last song: Same Old Energy by Kiki Rockwell, We Didn’t Start the Fire by Fall Out Boy (not sure how I feel about it but it was on my dash), and I can hear my other half is listening to Roger Waters Lockdown Sessions in the office

Currently watching: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Revolution and Syfy’s the Ark

Currently reading: Pompeii by Mary Beard, Jim Hensen’s The Storyteller: Shapeshifters. deciding on my next read between: Wool by Hugh Howey, Goldilocks by Laura Lam or House with the Golden Door by Elodie Harper

Scarthin Books. One of my favourite bookshops I visited yesterday.

Current obsessions: Pompeii. I read Elodie Harper’s the Wolf Den which is set in Pompeii a few years before the eruption, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of reading articles and watching documentaries/vids. I visited Pompeii once when I was 21, it was a short excursion on a bus tour and I really didn’t appreciate it enough.

Fibre arts. Tour de Fleece starts up on the 1st and I have some fibre I’ve been itching to spin.

Isn’t this fun?

Tagging: @nourgelitnius @windyleaf @darcylightninglewis @lostdaemon @blackestglass @chezamanda and anyone who wants to play along.

[aimlessglee]

@chezamanda tagged me!

Last song:  Something from the Heartstopper soundtrack.  I needed some peppy queer music.

Currently watching:  I finished Season 2 of the Bear!  Whew.  Then I rewatched Fire Island because it’s the end of June.  Also I started The Great.  A lot of tv happens when my wife is away.

Currently reading: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (ursulav).  It’s cute!

Current obsessions: It sounds so boring if I say tidying up the house, but that’s what I’ve been doing.  And going to the gym.  I’ve been sewing a little bit.  I’ve been thinking about writing.  It’s hard to force yourself to relax.

my heart breaks for malak and his family

after everything they've been through, their relatives have decided to withdraw their hospitality and kick them out, leaving them homeless once more.

the cost of a new tent is between €1,500 and €2,000 (depending on size/quality) so let's make it a short term goal:

@chezamanda replied to your post “One thing that will make me immediately backbutton out of a fic is if...”

I feel like fic writers have stopped using betas over the years. Spellcheck isn’t enough, y’all.

A good beta is hard to find!  You really need either a very thick skin or a special relationship with a person who’s going to give you that kind of feedback.  Still, another set of eyes is the most valuable writing tool you can have.  I have a live-in beta (reader, I married her) and I still look for help when it comes to long and/or involved stories like Sláinte.  @mashnotesofthemythopoeic kept me honest, saved me, made me a whole person, etc. on that story.

[insidious-intent]

Well I would do the “what if we met” but we have already 😄 What would we do if I could come visit or vice versa?

FIRST OFF you will need to have a 3 day plan to confirm that Milo loves you. This is vital to your success.

Once that's done, we can show you Boston! We can road trip around Maine and New Hampshire, or hang out in Harvard Square 😎

[themculibrary]

Fics With Titles That Start With L Masterlist 2

part one

laid bare (ao3) - chezamanda, eiluned clint/natasha E, 19k

Summary: Starting a relationship with your partner is against S.H.I.E.L.D. policy, but it’s not like Clint Barton cares about the rules too much. An undercover mission dredges up feelings that can’t be buried.

las vegas (ao3) - elcapitan_rogers steve/natasha M, 219k

Summary: Steve was freaking out over his own wedding and the gang decided to take him to Las Vegas to unwind him.

latte art and slow dancing in the dark (ao3) - deadonarrival steve/bucky, clint/natasha E, 89k

Summary: Once upon a twitter someone pointed out that there is a Starbucks inside the CIA building and how it should be a Stucky Meet Cute and since I happen to have worked at Starbucks and I hate DC I was like, man let me just… do that.

Here’s the tea:

Bucky is a somewhat well-adjusted former army sniper that got his shoulder blown out. He took his discharge and went home to finish school and is working on his international relations masters. His best friends and roommates (Nat & Clint) are CIA agents and tip him off that their local Sbux is hiring. He gets a job there and meets none other than the hottest guy on earth.

So how does one get a date in the most top secret government location in the US? What happens when that guy is more than just a hot dorito and wants to give Bucky everything he wants? Bucky is going to have to figure out his shit and fast. That’s what’s up.

leave yourself behind (ao3) - raendown sam/bucky T, 76k

Summary: “It’s a very long story,” he said.

Well, that wasn’t exactly true. The basic truth itself could be summed up real easy: that guy right there is me from the future and that’s his pal Sam, also from the future. All the details and the questions afterwards - only half of which got actual answers - that’s what really took so long.

When a version of himself from the future is brought back to the past right in front of him suddenly HYDRA isn’t the most interesting thing in this war. But the more time Bucky spends with himself and the new companion who came with him, the more questions he finds himself with. How much time has really passed? How much can one man be changed from himself? Who is this Sam - and what will he grow to mean to Bucky?

lessons learned (ao3) - sadsongssaysomuch steve/bucky E, 39k

Summary: Steve Rogers is a retired Army Captain from Brooklyn who now runs a private security firm. He’s a charismatic public speaker and an intensely private man.

His life runs on routine until he hires James Barnes, a reckless, conflicted man for his PR department. Steve takes an instant liking to him but struggles to help when Barnes’ careless ways begin to interfere with his job.

James Barnes is a man of secrets and he’s gotten good at hiding his traumatic past with his smart-ass attitude. When Steve approaches him about it, one thing leads to another and they end up having a drunken fling.

However, Steve has his secrets too…

let my love erase all your doubts (ao3) - Mimisempai loki/mobius M, 1k

Summary: While traveling with Loki in Asgard on a mission for the TVA, Mobius stumbles upon what appears to be a tender moment between Sif and his lover. When Loki finds him in their room, Mobius lets his jealousy take possession of him to Loki’s great surprise.

let’s hear it for captain america! (ao3) - Magnetism_bind steve/bucky E, 5k

Summary: A missing scene from Captain America: The First Avenger

let’s keep our eyes on the cracks (ao3) - napricot scott/hope T, 9k

Summary: Y’all thought Captain Marvel was gonna save the avengers but it’s gonna be Ant Man crawling up Thanos bootyhole and expanding. Book it.

Five responses to how Scott Lang and the Avengers defeated Thanos and saved the universe, or: five ways of looking at a buttsplosion.

let’s stay together (ao3) - bevioletskies scott/hope T, 3k

Summary: For all his missteps and mishaps, Scott has been on pretty good terms with the Pym-Van Dyne family lately. That is, until Cassie started calling Hank “Grandpa”.

Librarians at Tattoo Parlors (ao3) - BonKatze steve/bucky M, 3k

Summary: Bucky goes in for a tattoo, Steve looks like a librarian who got lost on a Sunday stroll, and Bucky really wants to know if there's anything hiding beneath the polished exterior.

lights, camera, action (ao3) - Kellyscams steve/bucky E, 17k

Summary: Bucky Barnes, aka the Soldier is one of Stark Naked’s most popular models. Having worked in the adult film industry for a few years, he’s gotten used to the daily flow of things. Not to mention also earning himself Stark Naked’s “Naked Boy” of the Year, and something of a reputation for being a powertop.

So when his favorite director, Sam, calls him in for an unscheduled shoot, Bucky figures it’ll be more of the same. What he’s most definitely not prepared for is meeting their newest model, Steve Rogers–who personally requested Bucky for his first scene. Not only is Steve the hottest guy Bucky’s ever seen, he’s sweet and adorable and cuddly and… Bucky’s never hit it off so well with another model before.

This shoot might very well changed everything.

like a clock in a thunderstorm (ao3) - shellybelle clint/natasha E, 3k

Summary: Natasha is a quiet mind raised in silence, Clint a whirlwind raised in chaos. In the early days of their partnership they are drowning under the weight of unanswered questions, and when the heavens open, Natasha breaks, and Clint is a good man after all.

lives in his own heaven (ao3) - glorious_spoon darcy/loki E, 1k

Summary: His fingers ran down the curve of her spine, tracing the shape of her hips. She couldn’t see what shape he wore, but there was a hint of claws when he gripped her there, the sudden force almost painful. “Hold still.”

“Or what,” Darcy said. She meant it to be catty, but it came out sort of soft and breathy instead. Damn it. “You’re going to spank me?”

losing my religion (ao3) - avengstark sam/bucky G, 1k

Summary: “Hello? Earth to Barnes? You’ve got me worried here, Grandpa. Do I need to get the nursing home on the line?”

Bucky blinked. Slow, lethargic. “Nah. Unless your bones are aching? You trying to tell me something? I’m not giving you a massage, Wilson.”

love alight like electric touch (ao3) - dioncchusmic steve/natasha, steve/wanda G, 71k

Summary: Liberal lawyer Natasha Romanoff is doing everything that she can to prevent the community ballet center from it’s destruction, wherein the said ballet center is bought by SHIELD Industries, aka Steve Rogers’ company.

They come into an agreement that he won’t destroy the community ballet center as long as she works for him as his Chief Counsel, what happens when Natasha agrees and finds out more than what she’s bargained for?

love is cursed by monogamy (ao3) - drifloon bucky/clint/natasha T, 5k

Summary: Natasha has two soulmate marks. It’s a problem until it isn’t.

love is for children (ao3) - solrosan clint/laura T, 6k

Summary: Natasha and Clint trust each other with their lives, but what will it take for them to trust each other with the rest?

lovely to finally meet you (ao3) - Robertdoc T, 10k

Summary: Though Agnes - Agatha Harkness - has revealed herself, she’s not done messing with Wanda’s mind yet. Not through mind control, but through more painful reminders of what Wanda allowed to happen in Westview, gaslighting her into believing she’s exactly the kind of person who would let it happen, and offers to stay in Westview forever that Wanda can’t convince herself she should turn down anymore.

Until a blast from a familiar, suddenly rebuilt object brings back a memory of what she really did right before the Hex formed, who she really tried to be even at the lowest point of her life - and who she’s finally ready to introduce Agatha to now. But even that may not be enough.

Another attempt at a Wanda character study that doubles as a wish fulfillment/theory for future episodes, tries to explain the still unexplained trailer snippets left, and seeks to give Wanda a real chance to heal and remember she’s not just another all powerful woman who went unstable from grief -

love of ours (ao3) - emeraldine087 bucky/steve/tony T, 253k

Summary: Tony Stark REALLY hates magic with a passion. He knows it’s got something to do with how his memories aren’t quite as he remembers them. He knows Steve screwed him over and sent him that shitty apology with an even shittier phone. And he is pissed supposedly with no end in sight and no resolution to be had. And yet, he also has this other set of memories - One where he is madly in love with Steve…

Steve Rogers REALLY feels like things with Tony could’ve gone a lot better. So he stubbornly stays in the Avengers compound to try to set things to rights, vowing to repair his Avengers family and his friendship with Tony. And yet, his endgame is still to help Bucky get rid of the Winter Soldier programming - Help his first and the one true love of his life to find himself again…

Bucky Barnes REALLY loathes having to rely on others to tell him about his life. Steve is a big help, but sometimes, Bucky feels like Steve’s after helping him for the benefit of the person he used to be rather than the person he is. Unlike Steve, Tony doesn’t give a shit about him. And yet, it’s with Tony that he feels like he can be or do anything - Like fall in love with the man he had orphaned all those years ago…

love the sin, love the sinner (ao3) - silkspectred steve/tony E, 10k

Summary: It keeps happening. Not often, just once or twice a month, but it keeps happening. Always in the same way: it’s unplanned, sudden, unexpected, Steve is surprised and eager, his dick goes from zero to one hundred in two seconds, Tony’s touch is electric, everything he does drives Steve crazy, but he never lets Steve kiss him, he very rarely looks Steve in the eye, he never talks, never makes a sound when he comes, never mentions it later.

[typhoidmeri]

the last five shows I watched/am in the middle of watching:

In no particular order.

1. Cold Case

Good show, good music (that might have made me feel old as dirt), and a most excellent show for playing ‘spot the actor’. I love Criminal Minds so this hit that vibe though the show stops at s7 so doesn’t have the chance to loose a lot of actors and quality. Plus for a show about murder there’s a lot less violence than other shows. Good background show for daytime viewing while working….with occasional breaks when one gets distracted by a favourite song or murderer/victim of the episode.

2. New Amsterdam

For all your medical drama needs. I cried, several times. I’m going to say it’s right there next to House MD as a favourite show about fictional doctors.

3. School Spirits

Went into this with only the vague notion of it being about ghosts. So worth the watch if you are a fan of teen drama. It doesn’t hurt that I love both the BBC’s Ghosts and the American version. Great if you love Dead Like Me.

4. The Power

I loved this show. Full disclosure I have not read the book yet, I do have it on my kindle just waiting to be read…you know how it is. The show is setting up for a second season, no idea if it is happening but i loved it for what it is. I’m a sucker for sci-fi.

5. The Marvellous Mrs Maisel

In the middle of watching season 5. I just love everyone so much. And not just Midge’s wardrobe.

…

Bonus: I’m doing a rewatch of True Blood (I don’t think I ever watched the later seasons). Somehow I forgot how frelling annoying it is when Bill shouts SOOKAH. But it’s something to have on while working and while spinning some fibre into yarn.

The mister and I started watching the Night Agent on Netflix tonight. It fulfils his need for spy intrigues and shenanigans until we start up the last season of the Blacklist. The first two eps were pretty good, hopefully the rest will be too.

Tagging: @lostdaemon @rembrandtswife @aenariasbookshelf @windyleaf @chezamanda and anyone who wants to list some shows they’ve been watching.

[eiluned]

B D F J

B:  What was the first fandom you read fic in?  Which was the first you wrote fic for?

X-Files and X-Files. Back in the wilds of the 90s, my town got an internet cafe. My X-Files-obsessed friends and I went trolling the internet and found Gossamer, and we spent the rest of 1997 and 1998 reading every smutty fic we could save to a floppy disk. I wrote my first fic in 98 or 99, iirc. It’s probably still on Gossamer, oh god.

D: What’s the most personal fanfic you’ve written?

Chosen Family, 100%. I wrote it before we started doing IVF to try to get pregnant, and it turned out to be my way of working through my own anxieties and hesitation around having a child. It still makes me cry when I re-read it.

As a side note, I’ve been kind of thinking about revising it now that I’ve actually had a kid to make some stuff more accurate.

F: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?

I listened to “How to be Eaten by a Woman” nonstop while writing How to be Eaten by a Woman

J:  What’s your favorite fanfic trope?  Have you written it?

Hoo boy. Forced to cuddle for warmth, fake relationship, oops there’s only one bed/sleeping bag top the list, and yes, I’ve written all of those for various fandoms. :D

[sneakronicity]

chezamanda replied to your post “Can the new wave of “m/f platonic relationships are so important!  You...”

I’ve never understood this idea that something has to be canon in order to be shippable. Shipping usually happens because we *don’t* see that relationship in canon - example, early Star Trek slash fic. It can be canon, but most of the time it is not.

I don’t get it either, and I dunno where it came from.  I don’t remember this being a thing years ago.  There were always ship wars, but the argument against a ship was never that “it’s not canon, it doesn’t exist!”, but the past few years I’ve been seeing that everywhere and it’s both infuriating and baffling.

Shipping has never been about what’s canon or not.  Somehow people have mixed up their definitions or something.  And it’s so biased too as I don’t see anyone attacking Steve/Tony or Tony/Strange shippers. Funny the only ships I ever see attacked are m/f ships.  I don’t get it.  Let people enjoy things that make them happy!

[osheamobile]

Scarlet & Crimson. Crimson especially because we should combine our bi and ace powers somehow.

Let’s do it!

[leiascully]

🤷 😎💡

What thing that my fandom loves do I just not get?  I guess John Doggett.  I’m glad people love him, I’m glad Scully has a friend, but just like I never forgave the Tenth Doctor for what he did to Harriet Jones, I can’t forgive Doggett for how he tried to manipulate Scully when they met.  Plus, he’s the coppiest cop ever to walk the streets with an NYPD badge.  If John Doggett were real right now, he’d have a Blue Lives Matter slogan on his Facebook profile picture.

Who is my BroTP?  Scully and the Lone Gunmen.  I love it when they work together.

A headcanon I have that someone should write is...  I just want to dump my whole brain into @lepus-arcticus‘ head and see what comes out.  I don’t have the ability to write the kind of sharp-edged, prismatic stories she’s been turning out based on S7.  I adore Incrementum.

[insidious-intent]

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy Birthday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you darling 😘 💓 💗 💛

[buttercup-bard]

For the Witcher asks - 3, 17, 28

Hi Thank You so so much!! :)

3. What was the moment that made you go oh hell yeah?

When Toss a Coin started playing/Jaskier played it tbh? It was the first thing that like really caught my attention somehow. I think that’s when I decided I like this, I’ll keep watching.

17. Which of Jaskier’s songs is your favourite? 

This is so difficult oh no, like going from my answer before I should say Toss a Coin because it’s like so so good and catchy and has such a great energy, and I also love The Fishmonger’s Daughter cause it’s extremely fun (also to play on the guitar).. But if I have to pick, my favourite is probably Her Sweet Kiss. It’s so beautiful and like.. the feels, you feel me? :’)

28. Would you be a Witcher, a mage, a Druid, an elf rebel, a dragon? Who would you be in The Witcher universe? 

I’d probably just be some random villager omg. :’) But from those mentioned I could imagine myself being a mage probably, that would be neat and fit me best I think! I mean the training looks like hell (for me personally not as hell-ish as physical witcher training though) but it pays off with amazing skills. Or if that didn’t work out (and if I was a little more talented) I might pull a Jaskier and find myself a hot witcher to go on adventures with and sing about. :’)
