    Summary

    “Wonderin’ why you’re deaf.” Bucky squints at Clint. “You don’t talk ‘bout it. But there’s some shit there. Which’s why you probably don’t talk ‘bout it.”

    He almost takes his aids out right there and curls back up in a ball. Benefit of being deaf: you can’t hear people bitching.
    But that’s not the way to deal with problems.

    Bucky eventually says, “Steve says I wasn’t supposed to ask.”

    “Steve told you not to ‘cause it’d be like asking you how you lost your arm.”

    Bucky winces, which only makes Clint laugh. “Sorry,” Bucky says again.

    Summary

    Clint Barton has a lot of scars. Some of them, as Phil learns, aren’t visible to the eye, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t hard earned and don’t have lasting effect. They also, as Phil further discovers, don't make him weak.

    Summary

    From this prompt on the avengerkink meme:

    "I'm probably the only person who hasn't seen AoU yet, but I DO know that Clint has a family, and apparently is a pretty great Dad. Mixing that with comics canon that he had an abusive background? It's awesome that he managed to break the cycle like that and just be a great parent.

    As for Tony, I think he's a lot more scared about having kids/turning into his father. There's a moment in Iron Man 3 with Harley, when the kid breaks off the suit's finger and he says sorry, and Tony just says "Are you?" in this hard tone before completely changing tracks and telling Harley not to worry about it. I get the feeling that he was beginning to mimic his father there, but the moment he recognized his behavior, he changed it. That's something I really respect.

    So I'd like a moment between these two, dealing with Tony's worry about acting like his father, and Clint saying it doesn't have to be that way."

     

    Basically, that.

    Summary

    “Has anyone in your life ever put their hands on you without intent to harm?”

    Clint rolls his eyes then towels his hair. “Really, Coulson? That’s some pretty over-the-top hyperbole, don’t you think?”
