Excellent Clint Barton centric fiction
A collection of excellent fics which are Clint Barton centric (counting centric as: either the main character, or one of two or three main characters who share equal screen time). In these fics, the writing excellently displays Clint's character development, though the character/setting may be AU. Amazing feats optional (but realistically, frequent - this is Hawkeye..). Any or no pairing, any rating.
Submissions/suggestions welcome.

Summary
Clint Barton is a wanderer, moving from place to place, on the run from some truths about his past. When his car breaks down in the tiny mountain town of Pittman Center, he finds a job at a local pub run by a real English woman and some unlikely people who offer friendship and belonging. He might blame fate after meeting Phil Coulson, a historian, for playing games but then he begins to discover that there is so much more to the handsome man and Clint may not be able to avoid what's been chasing him for much longer.
Imagine a cross between True Blood and Penny Dreadful with Clint as the man caught in the middle of epic mystical forces. Be forewarned; like my other story, A Wolf in the Fold, this tale will deal with mythology and legend. But this one is going to be much darker and more violent. Oh, and lots of sex once the plot gets rolling.

Summary
Phil Coulson's had a lot on his hands since losing his wife two years ago. He's juggling his job as head chef of their restaurant Audrey's with being a single parent to their daughter Skye, and to make matters worse his finances are starting to take a hit when his competition Hydra suddenly begins putting out dishes that look suspiciously familiar. When a televised cooking competition offers him the chance to win enough money to save his business he can't refuse, even though he has some pretty crippling anxiety. How he's going to survive this he has no idea.
Enter one Clint Barton; a gorgeous former Marine with some issues of his own - the worst of which seems to be a penchant for truly horrible food puns. Phil thinks he's doing him a favor when he hires him on as a busboy, but it soon becomes clear that Phil's the one getting the better end of the deal.
