Fill: Fic. Queen of Attolia Prequel. Rating Pg-13. Warnings: Mediumish Violence 3/3 anonymous August 6 2012, 00:35:04 UTC

She nods to James and walks away, her back to the cell as her guard captain snaps the prized bow across his knee.

The Queen of Eddis, formerly Princess Maria, pays a small fortune for the Thief’s release.

When Natasha is twenty Baron Von Doom gathers enough support amongst the barons to force her into an engagement. He gives her chunky diamond earrings set in platinum for a gift. She smiles sweetly at him, only a slight tightness around her eyes giving away her true feelings. He kisses her hand and she pats his cheek with apparent fondness. Von Doom is found dead in his bed the next morning, from natural causes. The fragile alliance between barons falls apart.

When she is twenty-one the diamond earrings she never wore are replaced with emeralds as she sleeps. Next to her jewelry cases are two disassembled traps, with a note informing her how to make them more effective.

When she is twenty-two the Thief of Eddis is caught for the second time.

A/N I'm not sure if I'm going to write anything else in this universe, so I figured I'd post what I'd written. Can't wait to see what everyone else does with this prompt. (I wanted to include Steve as Sophos but didn't end up finding a space for him).

I'm not even familiar with the prompt but I am so unbelievably intrigued. Please, please, please write more - especially the last two lines of the prompt!

I love the sparseness of your writing style, it is so beautifully done <3

Thank you :) I'm glad people liked it. If I write anymore it won't be finished in August, but I'll make sure to post it to the com.

Oh, oh, this is lovely. \o/. I love how thoroughly Natasha takes Irene's place without, you know, stopping being Natasha. It is so good!

Thank you!

Thanks :) I tried to balance the story with Natasha still being Natasha, I'm glad it came through!

Oh, wow, this is fantastic. I haven't actually read all of The Thief (apparently I need to get back to it, and the sequels), but it was very easy to follow along anyway. Natasha as the queen is so fitting, and I love the dynamic between her and Clint as the thief.

Thank you. :) I stole ashen_key's format (Congratulations on your Birthday http://archiveofourown.org/works/432805/chapters/733302). The books peak at the Queen of Attolia for my money, still they are all a fun read. :)

Re: Fill: Fic. Queen of Attolia Prequel. Rating Pg-13. Warnings: Mediumish Violence 3/3 rattyjol August 8 2012, 05:28:42 UTC

Okay, more coherent now. I love love love this whole thing, and how you altered it just enough to fit Clint and Natasha while still keeping the basics of the story. I really like how Clint was the one to first start teaching Natasha, and then Teleus!Bucky! This was great. Thank you so much.
