It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.

Goals include but are not limited to:

  • Wanting to go home
  • Wanting people out of your house who shouldn't be there
  • Trying to find a reliable babysitter
  • Trying to deliver a letter or package
  • Trying to do a favor for someone
  • Wanting to see a specific thing, place, or kind of animal
  • Wanting to collect the money somebody owes you (the lower the debt the better)
  • Trying to win a bet
  • Wanting to punch a specific person in the face

If you’re raring to go, you can also look at our bidding policies. You'll also find the dates for our 2026 Crafts Bazaar, if you're interested in creating or receiving physical fanworks.

I have a headcanon now that I’m doing archery

Natasha is fairly good at archery. It’s not going to be something she does in the field usually, but she is pretty accurate and skilled, knows how to shoot properly and hit the target. She picked it up because Clint went to the range and she went with him to hang out, and there was equipment there, so she gave it a shot (pun intended) and honed her skills. She eventually bought a compound bow; she doesn’t live especially luxuriously, so she’s got two grand and change to drop on a really nice competition bow and all the accessories.

Now, you might think this is a great opportunity for Clint to teach her, for him to stand behind her and guide how she pulls the string back, how he puts his hands on her hips to make sure she’s not leaning back when she draws, he’s very good and they get closer as he helps her.

And to that I say: ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT.

No, she gets adopted by the old intel officers and the veterans who help out with bowhunting the local overpopulation of deer and all those guys. They are HORRIFIED by Clint’s form, his methods make them cringe, and his muscle movements cause actual groans. They refuse to let Natasha be corrupted by his carnival trick-shot ways. They won’t take money for giving her lessons, they just need to know she’s not going to imitate Clint.

“I’m not that bad!” Clint protests, and several people ask how many times he’s dislocated his shoulder. (None, but that’s because he’s created a form of musculature around his shoulders that makes physical therapists make VERY funny faces.)

Well, that's less fics than last year, but a few more words, which I'm fine with. Lots of Clintasha, which will please the lovely community of be_compromised, and some exchanges, though I'm still trying to be a little bit choosier about which exchanges are take part in these days. Anywho, that's the list for last year (slightly delayed by an exchange that was itself delayed by a month or two!) and here's to more words in 2026 ;)
