Title: Probem Child
Fandom: Avengers
Series: Unpaved Road of Good Intentions [1/?]
Rating: R
Pairings/Characters: Slow-build Clint/Coulson, eventually Natasha plays a big part in the series.
Content Advisory: Explicit reference to past physical and sexual abuse in Clint's past. There's an age discrepancy between Clint and Coulson, as well as a power imbalance. If you'd like more specific information, or you think there's something I forgot to warn for, please let me know what I can do.
Notes: This was written for the kidficstory big bang. knowmefirst has made an AWESOME banner for it, that I have tried and failed to post three times with it so far--I'll get it up tomorrow when I'm on a library computer instead of a tablet!
Thanks: Thanks to miriad for the amazing beta, ivorysilk for the cheerleading, and arsenicjade for sharing the exact same Clint!feels. <3

Summary: Coulson wasn't born the bad-ass in the business suit. Hawkeye didn't start out as the trusted eye in the sky. This is the story about how SHIELD grew up, and how Coulson and Clint grew together right alongside it.

( The teenager that they lead into the holding room is grinning at him. It would be less discouraging if his teeth weren’t covered in blood. The guards cuff the kid’s hands to the table and his ankles to the chair. They don’t undo the chain around his waist that ties the whole mess together, so he’s hunched over and jangles every time he moves. )*

Warning: Depression, insecurity and references to past abuse and neglect. If you need more specific info, please PM me, and I'll be happy to help.
Pairing: Clint/Coulson
Word Count: 8,000
Notes: This was originally a fill for a really great prompt on  avengerkink. The fill’s been drastically altered since then, due to some really helpful feedback from an anon beta, gnomi, rabidchild67, and miriad! They were wonderful, and the story is so much better for their help. I couldn’t have finished this without ivorysilk, who held my hand through many neurotic freakouts.

Summary: Sometimes Clint is like a pain-in-the-ass kid: he'll annoy and frustrate and piss off everyone until they notice him, and it never bothers him when they get angry. To him, any attention—even the negative kind—is good attention. This poses a problem when they all finally learn to just ignore him.

Pairing: Bruce/Clint
Word Count: 4,600
Thanks: Many shout-outs to gnomi, csi_vixen, and miriad, who made this story immeasurably better than it would have otherwise been. Any remaining mistakes are mine!

Summary: Written for this prompt on avengerkink: When Bruce and Clint get together, everyone is worried - Clint is a bit forward, and slapstick, and unpredictable, and thinks things are funny when they're really not funny. They're just a bit unsure as to whether Bruce should really be with him, seeing as how Bruce needs a nice, quiet, calming influence.

( Bruce looks up from his sandwich (peanut butter and Frito Lays on white bread, because Clint claims to be trying to educate his palate by way of circus delicacies) and turns to his boyfriend, who’s lounging against very expensive lab equipment like a misplaced James Dean.  )
