recs to ease your way into the week

[topaz119]

I thought I'd posted this last week, but apparently my brain is telling me stories again. So, more things that made me happy, all older, pre-Cap2//AOS Clint/Coulsons this time (because, wow, I really do read a lot of that pairing...)



Winner Takes It All, Or: Five People Who Wondered and One Who Didn't Have to, by lavvyan, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Teen, ~4600 words === Fun, outsider POV as everyone tries to figure out what the deal is with Clint and Coulson. A betting pool is involved, because of course. Lovely team feels, too.

Slowly Adjusting Trajectory, by morgane, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Mature, ~24,700 words === Post-movie fix-it (no AOS) with the added complication (and angst) of a alternate universe Phil & son. 

Been Looking At You Forever, by torakowalski, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Explicit, ~18,900 words === All fuckbuddy-to-true-love stories should be this fun (and hot, guh.)

Proving the Exception, by SylvanWitch, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Explicit, ~17,600 words // 11 works === Accidental soul-bonding isn't supposed to be able to happen, as you do have to accept the bond, but sometimes things happen.

Damage Limitation, by Selenay, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Teen, ~36,600 words // 8 works === Next up on the trope list: sex pollen! (Or as Coulson says, "I believe we're going with targeted hormone disruptor.") There's more here than that, but it makes an awesome start. 

Blue Plate Special, by Saone, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Teen/Mature, ~30,200 words // 4 works === A Diner / Cop AU that's such a comfort read I swear I can feel my blood pressure drop with every word.

Two SHIELD Agents Walk Into A Bar, by psalmoflife, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Explicit, ~6400 words === A different take on the first meeting where it takes a while before they realize they work for the same agency. 

These are Our Friends and These are Our Foes (You’re the One I Love Most), by perpetfic, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Teen, ~12,700 words === mmmmm, competency!porn, both in the field and back at the office.

if this isn't the kingdom then i don't know what is, by restlesslikeme, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Teen, ~3400 words === It isn't often that you find poetry mixed in with this pairing but it definitely works in this.

Just Another Guy With A Bow, by myrmidryad, MCU, Clint/Coulson, Mature to Explicit, ~94,100 words === Clint and Coulson and Natasha and SHIELD, through all the MCU movies up to The Avengers, and then putting the team together. Long, long, long and absorbing, with awesome Strike Team Delta and Avengers Team!Feels.

Tag and Release, by shadowen, Avengers | MCU, Clint/Coulson, Mature, ~5400 words === Post-Avengers, Clint is dealing with Coulson's loss with a death wish of his own. Hopeful ending but check the warnings.  

As always, previous recs (in many fandoms) are available on topaz119

I'm pretty addicted to them, too! I had to stop reading for a little bit while I was trying to finish my last fic, but now I'm making up for lost time.
