I made it to 25k!!!!!!  25,016 words to be exact. 

It took a little longer than I thought to get the 2.3k I needed out, but now that I have, I feel proud of myself! I’m halfway through, and there’s still 20 days left! 

Story summary: When something terrible happens to Clint Barton and Wanda Maximoff, what's left of SHIELD and the Avengers need to reconsider their options. There's something wrong, and they can all feel it. Is it just a sign that things are going to go wrong from now on? That their universe and lives have shifted for the worse? Or can they come back from what happened in Siberia, when Tony Stark and Steve Rogers played Gods? Wipe away the blood on their hands and try to move on?

Chapter summary:  Toxin has seemingly been neutralized. But how is Clint doing? And, what about Thaddeus Ross and the symbiote inside head? What are the remaining members of the team going to do about that? And, what if there's a specific reason why Clint was the one who got a symbiote embedded in his head, and not some of the others? What if that reason has to do with the Infinity Stones? And what if there's a multiverse out there too?

DESTROYED UNDER GODS

Chapter 6 -   MUCK: All the discarded cards in a hand. If a player folds, he tosses his hand "into the muck."

S U M M A R Y ▬  Things are turning sour for the Avengers hiding on the West Coast. Learning of the survival of Clint, Kate and the kids seems to be bringing in more questions than it does answers, and there is definitely something wrong with the Hawkeye they brought back from the Raft. But what could it be? And, is there a way for them to fix him again, before it's too late?

E X C E R P T ▬ “You've seen it, then. You saw how Carnage snuck up on him, as the Amazing Hawkeye tried to get everyone ahead of him- he knew, you know? He knew what would happen if Carnage got a hold of him. Because he'd seen Ross like you did. Like I did. Ross interrogated your brother for hours on end, about SHIELD, Nick Fury, the Winter Soldier, Wakanda, HYDRA… And when your brother wouldn't cooperate, he would send me. Or Carnage. After a while, I felt it. Inside your brother’s head, the same way I felt it inside Ross’. The Spawn.”

“Can we get it out of them?” Barney asks then, suddenly picturing Clint getting the same symptoms as Ross- aggressiveness, short temper, blood, violence. “How long do we have?”

“You do not want to be a part of the Thunderbolts anymore, Trickshot? Tut tut,” Venom mocks, but loses the amused tone as soon as it had come. “Not long. But I already warned you- the only way to kill the spawn is to kill the host.”

@kate-katiehawkeye​ asked: “what is the aesthetic of your current project”

After General Ross brings the Abomination to Waverly, Iowa to recapture Hawkeye who escaped the Raft, things go awfully wrong. Was he trying to re-capture a known vigilante and outlaw, or was he trying to hide the fact that he might have used some non-conventional interrogation methods while Hawkeye was in the Raft? And, what does that mean for Hawkeye and his family? Besides, when he attacked the Barton homestead, Wanda Maximoff let out a massive energy burst that destroyed everything. Or did it?

Are you guys still interested in Destroyed Under Gods?

I genuinely don’t know if I should finish it or not. I hate having unfinished fics, but it’s been since November that I updated it so…
