Title: doesn't matter if i bleed
Fandom: The Avengers (movie-verse)
Pairing: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~19,300 words
Notes/Warnings: Post-movie fix-it--spoilers for everything, plus trigger warnings for the events of the movie and PTSD related to those events. Thanks to
clarkward for reading in flight;
withdiamonds for the medical consults; and
without_me for cleaning everything up and poking my run-ons into readable shape.
Summary: Clint's never pretended to be deep. He's just the guy who sits back and watches, the guy who makes the shot when he needs to. He's seen a lot of crap in his time, sat through a lot of fucked-up scenes to get to where he needs to be, but
this, now--he can't stand another second of it.
