Coulson is Clint’s favourite thing to do.

rootvegetable asked: I'm looking for a fic I read a while ago but can't remember the name or author of for the life of me; it had Clint as a teenage delinquent being officially handled/mentored by Coulson, who was with SHIELD, and Clint is still a badass with his bow (nothing new there) and towards the end there was a show-down in a warehouse with either Trickshot or the Swordsman, does it ring any bells?
Sure does! This is what you’re looking for:

Author’s Summary: “Barton has clearly imprinted on you,” Fury starts, and keeps talking right over Phil’s knee-jerk, horrified, “He has not,” to seal Phil’s doom by saying, “so I’ve decided that you’re going to take primary responsibility for him from now on.”
“Oh, god,” Phil says, faintly, before he can stop himself.

Author’s Summary: It doesn’t start where logic says it should have.
Notes: They fit together in ways that they couldn’t do, just two of them, any two, and it takes all of them to figure it out.

WARNING for brief discussion of an underage relationship.
Author’s Summary: Clint Barton liked older men.
Not extremely older men, like the kind old enough to be his father or anything. It was most certainly not a daddy kink. He had had a father. He was an asshole and Clint didn’t feel like finding another one, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, he also had terrible taste in older men.
(Note: the underage tag is for a Clint/Other pairing, not Clint/Coulson. Also, this story can be seen as the backstory of the pairing in my story Duty Bound, but neither are necessary for enjoyment of the other)
Notes: Clint always seems to find the most difficult route to anything good in his life.

“Agent Barton is compromised.”
—
“Coulson, Barton knows too much, we need to bring him in.”
“Barton will try to run. He’s good at that.”
“You’re his handler. Figure it out.”
—
“And Phil, though we all want the extraction to go smoothly, chances are it will not.”
“Dead or alive.” Phil resonates.
“Is that going to be a problem?”
“No, sir.”
—
“Agent Coulson, we have Hawkeye surrounded. We’re unsure if he would resist arrest.”
“He wouldn’t.” Phil breathes into the comm. “Don’t hurt him.”
Bring him down.
& now you’re trying to convince me that he wasn’t worthy. but you can’t complete me, he’s the part that’s missing. you could be my hero if only i could let go but his love is still in me, like a broken arrow.

Author’s Summary: They have rules for a reason, boundaries they can’t cross, especially in the field and Clint can’t really complain considering he did help write the rules.
Notes: Sequel to “But for the sky there are no fences facing” (recced here). Clint definitely doesn’t have the good gossip.

Author’s Summary: My fix-fic for the movie. Obviously, large and detailed spoilers are contained.
When they first told Clint, he had no reaction other than a soft ‘Oh,’ and a quiet nod.
Notes: Self-destruction has always been one of Clint’s skills.
Author’s more detailed warnings included here for readers’ peace of mind:
”WARNINGS: Clint does not take the news of Phil’s death well. The warnings of incidental self-harm are for Clint pushing himself beyond the limits of his own endurance, resulting in blood, connective-tissue strain, etc. There is very, very minor implication of suicidal intentions. Also, discussion of the damage caused when Loki stabbed Phil, a brief mention of deliberate but minor self-injury on Fury’s part, and suturing.”
