Hurt Clint Barton Masterlist
Dollhouse (ao3) - JinxQuickfoot clint/laura, wanda/vision M, 12k
Summary: The torture bingo card.
It was an old joke that had been passed around the SHIELD agents with a darker sense of humor. Phil had disapproved. Fury had pretended not to know. Clint had joined in right away, only to find he had been able to fill out half the squares before the game had even begun, courtesy of a life of bad cards, poor decisions, and worse luck.
No one was ever supposed to win. ————————————– The Barton family gets an uninvited guest, and it has no intention of leaving.
Don’t Go Searching For What Goes Bump In The Dark (ao3) - CaptainJimothyCarter clint/bucky M, 17k
Summary: They had worked for this peaceful life, after a lifetime of turmoil and pain. They deserved this peace that they’d carved out for themselves.
Peace can only last for so long, as life liked to remind Clint that it surely was a bitch.
His peaceful life with his mate, with the love of his life, his soulmate is crumbled into ruins when Bucky disappears one morning.
Clint would do anything to get his mate back, even if that meant walking into the slimy tentacles of Hydra itself.
Hard Shine (ao3) - oper_1895 clint/bucky E, 22k
Summary: Clint was just trying to finish out his contract when the shitty submissive club he was working at was raided by SHIELD. In a stroke of luck that was probably the best thing to ever happen to Clint, SHIELD took over his contract. Six months of some grunt work and then he’d be ready to finally start his life. The only real downside was that Agent Bucky Barnes, the man who rescued him, was keeping his distance. Well, that and the asshole of an old-school Dom who was put in charge.
I am split in half, but that’ll have to do (ao3) - MANIAvinyl clint/bucky N/R, 4k
Summary: Bucky sits there for a while, at the grave that Clint picked for Natasha, staring out into rippling water with something heavy tugging at his heart. Something helpless.
Because he can’t fix Clint. Some things you have to figure out in your own, no matter how much it hurts for the ones around you to watch.
Or; One year after Natasha’s death, Bucky finally gets Clint to admit that something is wrong.
In stitches (ao3) - ivvic clint/bucky T, 3k
Summary: After a mission goes awry Clint tries to patch himself up.
Kill Box (ao3) - Ranni N/R, 4k
Summary: In this high tech, WiFi kind of world the villains have taken the lazy route and just electrified the floor. They don’t even have the decency to be present to leer and threaten while they torture; it’s probably all done by a dude sitting in chair, watching a monitor and mashing a button while he munches morosely on a donut.
The bad guys also had better names for things like this back in the old days. Bottle dungeon. Oubliette.
Clint just calls it the kill box.
Little Flame Fighting On (ao3) - CaptainJimothyCarter clint/bucky T, 4k
Summary: Soulmates are not a rare thing in this reality. You grow up, knowing you're connected to someone out there and can only feel it and see it when your soulmate is in pain. Your vision and hearing become theirs, living life through their eyes for that one brief moment.
That's why Bucky isn't sure he can be too mad at the fact his soulmate is an idiot who loves to fall into dumpsters and drink too hot coffee, because as the Winter Soldier he's sure his soulmate has felt his fair share of pain.
Most of all Bucky knows that his soulmate is the reason that he's no longer Hydra's plaything, their very first shared vision is what severs the connection. He's lucky and thankful, that's why he keeps a rift between them so he can never bring Hydra onto the man's doorstep.
That rift is broken when Clint is almost killed when his own arrows are stabbed into his ears. They're both broken but together, he likes to think there's something there worth fighting for.
Monsters & Magic (ao3) - Night_Hawk G, 10k
Summary: “Natasha…?” Barton’s voice is filled with near-tangible concern.
Well, this is delightful. “How touching,” Loki taunts in his smoothest voice. “You will listen to her, of course, Agent Barton. You always have had a soft spot for Tasha, haven’t you?”
Clint and Natasha deal with the aftermath of Loki’s mind control
No Magic Would Save Me (ao3) - arsenicarcher (Arsenic) pepper/tony M, 20k
Summary: Once upon a time, an angel with the unlikely name of Pepper came to the circus, and took Clint away.
Pavlov was a Jerk (ao3) - BeneficialAddiction clint/phil E, 77k
Summary: Clint Barton: World’s Greatest Marksman, submissive, high-functioning disaster.
When Clint comes in to SHIELD he’s been on his own for almost four years, and he’s been keeping himself level using conditioning techniques he’s learned from a lifetime of abuse and neglect. Phil Coulson is the first to notice the imbalance – Clint’s system seems to be all punishment, no rewards - but Phil’s tastes aren’t exactly average and it’s none of his business anyway. Certain that what he wants is not at all congruent with what Clint deserves Phil keeps his distance, until a mission gone wrong sends the archer tumbling into an nasty case of subdrop and neither of them have any other choice but to take a chance on the other.
Sing Your Song (I’m listening) (ao3) - Squeaky steve/bucky, clint/natasha, pepper/tony, jane/thor T, 50k
Summary: Phil’s brand-new family is doing well. So well in fact that Phil is asked to take on one more child: Sixteen-year-old James Barnes. James has been on the top of the ‘hard-to-place’ list for ten years, ever since he was injured in an accident so terrible that it caused him to stop talking. And he hasn’t spoken since.
Phil takes James in with the hopes that he, and his other children; Natasha, Clint, Steve and Tony, might make James feel safe enough to begin to get over his tragic past. But what he doesn’t expect is how unsafe James’ silence makes the other children feel, and how quickly James’ arrival can make everything else start to fall apart…
Take All The Courage (ao3) - prettybirdy979 T, 16k
Summary: When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.
Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.
(Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)
Turn to What Comes After (ao3) - Laura Kaye (laurakaye) clint/phil T, 11k
Summary: When the aliens found his Resistance cell, Clint thought that everything was over. But after some mortal peril and a few grenades, he realized it was just beginning.
A science fiction Marvel AU.
Where My Demons Hide (ao3) -TheLittleMermaidDJ T, 13k
Summary: After New York and Loki, Clint is dealing with everything by NOT dealing.
But a mission gone to shit and the appearance of a lost friend might end up being just the thing to pull him back from the edge. Assuming it doesn’t kill him first.
Post first Avengers film.
worth fighting for (worth dying for) (ao3) - bumblewyn M, 2k
Summary: Clint had thought that it would finally be over, that he could finally go home, only to find his messed up mind unable to believe the truth of what he fought so hard for.
Turns out it’s not that easy coming back to a life you’ve mourned for five years, no matter how badly you wanted it back.
You Screamed For So Long We Forgot To Care Anymore (ao3) - GalaxyThreads T, 126k
Summary: Five months after Thor drags his half-dead brother to Earth to plead asylum, things take a turn for the worse. With the older Asgardian out of commission and a sizeable threat overshadowing them, Clint becomes aware of two facts: One: Loki was tortured, mind-controlled, and manipulated into attacking Earth. Two: Loki knows none of this. (gen, no smut)
