harcourt

I feel like I need to explain this fic.

So, since I've been talking about using the MCU as a way to pare down comics canon, here's a fic that I abandoned on my hard drive after realizing that the visuals don't work. As in, I doubt Clint's hairstyle in this would work on the actor, but if you were drawing Clint, or imagining some of the comics visuals, it could.

After realizing that, and deciding to just shelve it because I didn't want anyone to think my sense of design or something is that bad (lol), I kind of wrote from the hip and with a so whatever attitude, so this fic is pretty weird.

I'm marking it MCU here anyway, because I don't know what else to, but this is an example of the kind of canon/imagery clash I mean, and that I try to avoid in things that I put on the AO3.

Also, I realized it's long enough to fill one of my longfic bingo squares.

Marriage of Convenience: [Marvel Cinematic Universe] untitled Thor/Clint fic --5,427 words

One year, Earth-time, after taking over Loki's claim on Clint, Thor is back, Clint is different in ways that are odd and disturbing, and Tony is determined to figure out exactly what's going on between him and Thor, because he's not sure he likes what things are looking like.

This fic includes: Captivity, slavefic themes, D/s undertones, suspicions of non-con, suspicions of abuse, hints of dark stuff happening off screen, hints of off-screen D/s, but in the end everything turns out to be be mostly okay. It's not dark!Thor fic. Really not.

Also, no one is actually married. I may or may not be interpreting those prompt squares with increasing looseness.

I have a good chunk of the next piece of tigerfic done too, but my internet's been crappo the last few days. It quit on me twice getting this up and last night it barely ran at all.

Internet, you guys. Internet.

Part sixteen of Genus Panthera (aka tiger fic) is up. I'm not going to repost here, but if anyone is reading this DW and prefers to comment here instead of there, go right ahead.

Also, I keep wondering if it should be Genus: Panthera with the colon, like in those little info cards at the zoo. Species: Tigris Species: Leo. That's the context of that title, in case it wasn't actually completely obvious.

Note that the / in the tag for this is just because its inconvenient to have an & relationship tag like on AO3. I think it's heading there, but this fic does whatever the hell it wants, so.
