3:24 am, still no starbucks.

Starting from the beloved meme and then Clint Barton arrives 15 minutes late with Starbucks... only this time he's closer to seven months late and it isn't just that Cap, Natasha and this new kid Sam blew up his entire work place waiting to greet him.  Clint Barton and his tire fire of a life finally decide to embrace the beauty of everything burning and the rebirth that can occur when you let it.  Follow multiple narrators through a ludicrous babyfic that hopes to make you squee and sigh with the best of them.

Chapter 46: Charles Bernard "Barney" Barton

"Pick a star," Barney runs his hand under his nose before gesturing to the sky, "it's so clear you can damn near see the whole galaxy out here. Pick one. We're gonna make a wish."

"I don't believe in wishes," Clint mutters, his thrift store sherpa lined jacket is half tucked into itself at the neck.

"Check you out," Barney says turning on him from his seat on the cold metal stair, "Get some of Jack's hooch in ya and you're a big man who don't believe in wishes and Christmas all the sudden."

Clint's mouth does that thing it does when he's feeling looked down on. Barney knows he wants to correct him, tell him 'it's Jacques' like that makes him any less of a snake oil salesman and Clint less of an idiot for following him around. But Clint thinks better of it. So he should. Barney can still take him even if it's getting a close-run thing.

2015 Friday Recs - Week 1

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

Happy April! A new month is a new year for Friday Recs. We are now entering the Age of Ultron. You might see a lot of rage from me this month...not sorry. These authors have worked hard to fix that. Please don't forget to leave kudos!

Find a Mooring by Cristinuke

Clint tries to break some of Natasha's conditioning.

On the Pleasure in Pathless Woods by invisibledaemon/@gamoraspeter

Natasha is a witch afraid of her old coven, and Clint is an outlaw who wants to help.

Saturated by shadesfalcon/@shadesfalcon

New to SHIELD , Natalia Romanov is frustrated by her emotional attachment to the young archer who brought her in. In her line of work, this makes the safest course of action eliminating him immediately. She just can't find the motivation to finish the job.

Clint Barton knows he should find this disconcerting, but he can't help being flattered

Sweater Weather by enigma731/@enigma731

The hoodie comes from a WalMart in rural Texas.

"Mine." by empathyandapathy/@empathy-and-apathy

This rec comes from acrimsonpheonix: "Oooh yay! Could you write something jealousy-related? :) Like one of the two getting jealous when a third person flirts with the other? Also, I'm always up for fluff. :D"

We live with our sins by wildechilde17/@transparentlyfallingasleep

Now to make everything that went before right, everything must be undone. The undoing is bloody. In the distant future at the end of Avengers Infinity Wars 1 and 2, this is what Joss forced me to write. Do not read if you wish to remain unsullied for Age of Ultron.

I Wanted It (I Wanted It Bad) by thetidesisrising/@cesraeborgia

How could she have lost a tiny fragment of her soul every time a drop of his blood touched the pristine Earth? Did she know what it was like to have his arm clasped around her wrist every night in order to keep from handcuffing it to a bedpost? Did he cradle her to his chest as she screamed and attempted to claw her way out of his embrace as she relieved the horrors of her childhood?(an inlet of sorts, on natasha and clint's history during aou. drabble)

the last chapter

“Her eyes?” The babe stares at him, she is all eyes. “I thought they’d be grey.”

“All babe’s eyes are blue to begin,” Davos tuts, “I’d wager these will stay. She has the Baratheon look.”

“Angry?” he says as the child in his arms frowns. It shouldn’t be that she is not yet a day in the world and yet she is already frowning.

“Nay, you know the first Baratheon, Orys?”

“The one with one hand.”

“The very same.” The nurse’s chair creaks. “He had black eyes. As black as the hair on her head. They say the blue eyes of house Baratheon comes right from the first storm kings.”

“What by magic?” he asks. He has seen Berric Dondarrion raised from the dead, seen dragons fly and dragon glass shatter bodies that should have remained in their graves. T’would be stupidity to deny it now. He put his finger into the babes curled palm and is surprised by how quickly she closes her fist around him.

“Of a kind, My Lord, by a woman.”

7. How do you choose which POV to write from? (Especially for starbucks)

25. What fic do you wish you got more of a response on?

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

39. Share a snippet from a WIP

aw wow! People never ask me questions on here.

let’s see number 7. Honestly I tried to come up with a better answer than this but it’s just the vibe of the thing. The first story was really just a response to “Clint Barton shows up 15 minutes late with Starbucks” insert Troy with the pizza meme that was out in the ether post his absence in Winter Soldier. I decided to try making myself write from Natasha’s perspective after the Clint heaviness in marketplace etc but in the Starbucks sequel I just wanted to imagine/ write down the Robert Downey jr voice in my head reacting to spy kid 3D. And then they all joined in. Clint’s voice is my most comfortable place to be Natasha, Cap, Maria, Jarvis the least but I think that’s because being that fucking competent seems heptapod level alien.

25: I wish people read unfinished business more… it was my first story in the marvel space and my second fanfic ever. And I still kinda like imagining it’s running in the background of the avengers… and it could have too if not for that pesky Joss Whedon. I also I’m proud of my Game of thrones fic. It was an attempt to self sooth and I think it turned out rather well all things considered.

26. I’m not sure I do wild rides I’m definitely not much of a plot writer. I tend to focus on small intimate character moments. Probably because I suck even more at the other stuff, possibly because being a speech pathologist I’m better at getting voices of characters ‘right’ than I am at making things happen. But I am proud at how I salvaged age of ultron for the rewriting in Market Place and how much I was able to reuse, reduce, recycle might be surprising to readers.

39. So my clinic shut down suddenly in September. If you are Australian I will just say this about it. The NDIS and in particular the Government have been making it harder and harder to work as a paediatric disability clinician and hell bent on telling our clients that it’s because we are rorting the system. I didn’t want my clients to loose their therapeutic alliance and a speechie that has known them most of their lives so I started my own sole trading. It’s long hours, crazy stress and I don’t even know if I will be able to afford the audit come 2025 but for now my kiddos are safe and getting therapy. All the govt has managed to do is privatise the old block grant system and lie about choice and control and that’s all I have to say about that. As a result I’ve got no real WIPs but I have this… you can see that I write dialogue first.

If you’ve come to tell me I’ve besmirched my honour, that the castle is in an uproar… I care not. 

Your grace. 

Ser Davos I am no princess. 

The laws of the realm say

So Tyrion Lannister crowns my brother and frees the north for my sister and now I am smothered by titles? I knew I should have killed that-

Id never really thought about it like that Milady. Allow an old man a small courtesy? I accepted my title for services to Stannis Baratheon. Plenty of times I thought better of it but I did it for those who came after me. Lord Gendry well he doesn’t say, quiet sort that he is -

Surly 

As you say, but i think I’m right in saying he had similar thoughts. I don’t think either of us thought that there might be others on the other side of it. Born to the titles and the power and wanting none of it, wanting to be rid of it. 

He is a good lad lady Arya. Give him longer. He can’t stay this angry for long. 

I can’t stay ser Davos

Forgive me but I’ve lived longer on decking than I have on dry land or had till your brother made me hand. The tides they come again. Like circles they are. Why not tarry even if he’s determined to make himself unpleasant. 

He doesn’t have to put effort into that. He’s had it mastered for years. You are married Ser, children? 

Aye My Lady

[transparentlyfallingasleep]

Or....Natasha finds Clint in sokovia when he is trying to find a way out after the fall of shield and after nick sent him there suspecting that some shield operatives might actually be on the hydra side of not doing good in the world. Tony is the one to perform the lullaby and Clint and Natasha relationship is echoed by Wanda and pietro something which our ever pragmatic widow thinks our stray collecting Barton is not thinking clearly about

Imagine if...

… Clint hadn’t been given that out-of-nowhere wife and kids in “Ultron”

Clint and Natasha’s obvious romance would develop naturally over the movies 

Through that development, we’d actually learn a bit about how Clint made Nat switch sides, and what happened in Budapest 

And Natasha would get respectful character development with a consistent romance, instead of being ship-teased with a different Avenger in each movie

Because Clint would not be a dad, and would have a dynamic going on with Nat anyway, there would be no reason for the writers to make him Wanda’s mentor; so instead, that role would go to either Bruce or Tony, allowing for Wanda to get a real redemption arc, causing probably the majority of her hatedom not to exist 

He’d be sympathetic in Civil War, because he wouldn’t be abandoning a wife and kids to break the law for flimsy reasons; instead, he’d be a reckless single guy, who just saw SHIELD get outted as Hydra and was probably still suffering PTSD from Loki’s mind control; thus, his sympathetic points would outweight his bad ones (except maybe with that joke on Rhodey’s paralysis, but that OOC writing is another issue entirely…) 

Nat wouldn’t (necessarily) have to be th one to die for the Soul Stone, and if she did, her death would be trillions of times more impact (er, no pun intended)

Starting from the beloved meme and then Clint Barton arrives 15 minutes late with Starbucks... only this time he's closer to seven months late and it isn't just that Cap, Natasha and this new kid Sam blew up his entire work place waiting to greet him.

Clint Barton and his tire fire of a life finally decide to embrace the beauty of everything burning and the rebirth that can occur when you let it.

Follow multiple narrators through a ludicrous babyfic that hopes to make you squee and sigh with the best of them.

It’s the baby fix I never intended to write and am looking for a little motivation to finish this month.

Besieged Chapter 14

“Castle forged steel?” she steps forward and raises an eyebrow, “It’s good work.” Her voice is a little more northern since she’d found her way home to Winterfell, certain words sounding like a memory half forgot.

“It is mine. I made it for me.”

“Am I your enemy now, Lord Baratheon?” she says.

“No. I come to entreat you.” His voice sounds surer than the thoughts in his head.

“Entreat?” she says, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

He knows the tips of his ears have turned the colour of the vitreous red they would melt onto armour. “This is the bargain I have come to make-”

“-A bargain?” she repeats. 

“I won’t make the offer that made you so... so disgusted before." She wasn't disgusted. He knows this. She was worse; she was pitying. Disgusted would let him rail against judgement, against injustice, against superiority; instead, he is left with her kindness and her gentle refusal and the widening crevasse between them like he had been nothing more than a passing stranger. “It’s not you,” he says bitterly. “You have been heard.”

She stares at him, her eyes big and grey and circled in red. His hands smell like her skin, and there is a feather bed, too close now, that is now’t but a monument to how she had clung to him.

He cannot make it fit.
