hey! i’ve been searching for a fic in which SHIELD makes a deal with young-ish clint to work for them instead of prison. he and phil (who i’m pretty sure is his handler) eventually become friends (and maybe end up romantically involved?) other things i remember: -clint befriends a woman in his self defense class -at one point, clint‘s sure people are going to throw him a birthday party but no one remembers it’s his birthday -it’s pretty long -clint lies about internal bleeding at the beginning?
Hi there! You’re thinking of ‘problem child’, a wonderful fic by hoosierbitch!
Happy re-reading :D
