Summary
What are you supposed to do during a hurricane besides ask people for prompts and write them short!fic?
Note
So, with Sandy looming and basically everything ever shut down, I have pretty much nothing to do. So I asked my friends to prompt me things to write short!fic for, and filled those prompts over the next three days.My goal with these was and is to fill each prompt in one sitting and fewer than 750 words and to write something that my prompter would like. To each of those ends I was at least mostly successful.There are a few people who constantly enable me and egg me on whenever I get ideas, and as much as I whine about it on twitter, I really can't thank them (or enable them back) enough. They didn't let me down this time, either. So, many thanks to tawg, Mikey, selenay, and candesgirl -- you are all lovely!

Clint's advice on the prospect of Darcy/Steve romancing

"I would say, 'Don't do it!' but I'm pretty sure it's too late for that, so don't tase him."

"You're kidding, right? Do you know how far to hell I would go if I tased Captain America?"

"Good. You should keep that in mind. And don't go too hard on him at first. He's just a kid."

"I'm pretty sure he's man enough for me." Darcy waggles her eyebrows, grinning at Clint's expression. "And, come on, he's been through a war, you can't tell me that he can't handle a little flirting."

"Obviously you don't know him that well," Clint sighs. "He's clueless, Darc. He's probably not even going to know you're flirting, and even if he does, I'm not sure he's going to know what to do about it."

"I can work around that."

He rolls his eyes. "Look, just. Be careful. We can't be friends if you break Captain America's heart, okay? You're awesome, but I have to pick my team over you if it comes down to it: They're kind of my professional life, after all, and I really can't afford to have to attempt to find something somewhere else." He pulls her into a one-armed hug. "I mean, I think you're his type, so he might be interested, but don't do anything stupid."

"Look, I already promised not to tase him. Unless he really, really deserves it. And, bonus, I can catch him up on all the best internet memes."

"Do. Not. Please. Don't. Don't do it. That's an even worse idea than tasing him."

"Jeez, all right, fine! Don't tase him, don't break his heart, don't show him anything on the internet. I got this."

"For more than just your sake, I certainly hope so."
