The Valentine's Mini Promptathon over at be_compromised recently came to an end and I managed to complete a few things before the deadline this year, whoop whoop, so here you go - a new graphic and some new fics:

Title: The Path
Rating/Warning: PG (distressed Clint)
Length: collage graphic
Summary: Clint Barton, in all his messed up glory, joined a monastry in Tibet when he was twenty. Taught love for all beings, he would make a different call.
Author Note: The monastry featured is not actually in Tibet, it's in Bhutan. It's called the Taktshang Tiger's Nest monastry, which 'clings to a cliff 2,300ft about the Paro Valley floor', which seemed appropriate :) The Internet tells me the quotes are Budhist quotes; forgive me if they're not.

Title: The Bowling Green Massacre
co-written with alphaflyer which was a lot of fun!
Rating/Warnings: Teen and up (typical MCU violence and swearing)
Length: 6569 words
Summary: Fallaces sunt rerum species. The truth isn’t all things to all people all of the time.
Authors Note: No cows were harmed in the making of this fic, although we can't say the same of the Brooklyn mafia. The views on protesters, capitalism and politics enunciated herein are strictly those of the characters.

Title: both threat and promise
Rating/Warnings: Mature (for sex)
Length: 1414 words
Summary: For the prompt: There should be a word for a threat that is also a promise. Because that is what I want you to hold me down and do.

Guys, guys, I'm so excited that I finally get to share this with you! For Marvel Big Bang 2016 alphaflyer has written Seventh Crow, the third in her Avengers/007, SHIELD/MI6 series following 2013's Second Mouse and 2014's Locust Wind. Once again I teamed up with her to do the graphics and I wanted to try something I'd wanted to do from the very beginning, but was completely out of my depth: make a fanvid film style trailer. I ended up getting two years to learn how to do it and have a go - thank you to everyone on my f-list who gave me hints and tips! - as we were meant to post in 2015 but offline life got on top of us.

Now I get to present to share with you a brand new 34,000 word mission crossover epic fic from alphaflyer, accompanying graphics, and my first ever fanvid. We did the thing! I am so proud of us :D

Fic: Seventh Crow
Author: alphaflyer
Beta readers: inkvoices, jrbarton
Fandom/Universe: MCU/Avengers, James Bond/007 (Craig movies)
Rating: PG13
Word count: 34,000
Warnings: Canon-typical violence; swearing; two or three allusions to recent traumatic election processes
Summary: "One for sorrow, Two for joy ..." A long life in intelligence has taught M one thing above all: criminal organizations are like a tick embedded in the skin of humanity. You can never be sure you have pulled out the entire thing. What remains causes disease to take hold and fester.
Accompanying Art: Art for Seventh Crow
Artist: inkvoices

And I'm just gonna leave this here *grins*:

I'd almost forgotten that I'd signed up to be an artist for marvel_bang 2013 until alphaflyer reminded me. Perfect then that I got to play with alphaflyer's fic!

Second Mouse Fic Summary: "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." (Aldrich Killian) When HYDRA is suspected to be carrying out illicit activities in Scotland, SHIELD and MI-6 are asked to cooperate. Two covert agencies on the same turf -- Barton & Bond, Fury & M, Coulson & Moneypenny -- what could possibly go wrong? (Oh, and who exactly does the gorgeous redhead work for?)

Second Mouse is a fusion of the James Bond movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a touch of the Hawkeye comics. It's playful, fast-paced, and banter-ful; true to the style of the source material; contains factually based amusing science; has accurate British locations; has a game of spot the Bond film titles; and is just brilliant. I enjoyed reading it and had huge amounts of fun playing in this fusion world.

I made cover art, a manip banner for fun, a manip/pic set divider banner with images from an actual place in the story, a quote graphic for one of my favourite moments, and a collage/pic set. Enjoy :)

SPOILER WARNING: these graphics contain some minor spoilers for the story. You should read it first. Go on. I can wait :)

( GRAPHICS BEHIND THE CUT )

x_disturbed_x's original story at heroinebigbang is about a woman called Sunshine who doesn't expect to survive after she takes what she believes to be her last mission with the Resistance, but she does, and Sunshine gains a new lease on life that leads her to make some life altering decisions.

It's rare to see original works in what is predominantly a transformative works internet space, so kudos to x_disturbed_x and do drop by to read their story! I has a kick ass woman who can be kick ass and still have a kid, a shady corporation, and romance. What's not to like?
