Never Kiss Anyone You Like by Kathar for gth694e
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Comics)
02 Jan 2022

Summary
Phil's entire life from now on was going to be filled with visions of some other, kinder, alternate universe where he’d come home from that adrenaline-fueled “I’m so glad you’re not dead” kiss with Clint in New Mexico, that tasted like sand and everything he’d ever wanted, and done it right. Done it like he’d been planning to do it: gotten a good full night of sleep, grabbed coffee for Clint on the way into work, carefully pulled him aside and said something smooth. There would have been dating, and at some point, kissing again. And Clint would have, uh, seen Phil’s bedroom. And Phil would have seen Clint’s. And… met his dog, because apparently now he had a dog? Phil had not planned for the dog.
Phil didn’t need to plan for the dog, because instead of doing all the above, Phil had come home, gone to bed, and woken up in the middle of the night with his dinner already halfway back up his throat and Clint had come over (with the dog) at exactly the wrong time and seen him like that.
And now he was never going to be able to face Clint again without making it weird.

Summary
Clint is always glad to see his brother Barney-- even when he's showing up unannounced at his door to berate him about ruining an op Clint didn't even know he was involved in. He just... don’t know how to be what Barney needs. How to keep him from leaving, over and over.
It's Phil-- Phil who has no living family at all and never did have any siblings-- who invites Barney in, Phil who feeds him millet bake, Phil who asks Clint if maybe, just maybe, Barney feels the same as Clint does. If maybe he actually does want to stay.
Honestly, Barney only showed up at his brother's door to find out what happened in Driftless-- and okay, maybe just a little because his brother has once again failed to tell him he's in a relationship and he'd like to meet the guy before the divorce this time. But that's not why he keeps coming back.

Action Items, Next Steps, and Then Adjourn by Kathar for laurakaye

Summary
It's not that Phil Coulson isn't pleased with his promotion. Yes, he was taken away from Strike Team Delta, and yes he's out of the field now, and okay there are an awful lot of meetings. But he's working directly for the Director, doing work only only he can be trusted to do right.
If only there weren't so much of it, and it didn't involve so very many deeply stupid people.
And if only he weren't missing Clint (and Natasha) so much....

Summary
When a professor of archaeology at a midwestern university disappears while on a dig, the Director of SHIELD takes an unexpected interest. Now Agents Clint Barton and Phil Coulson are being sent to the city of Driftless to investigate. Undercover. As married students.
Clint quickly finds himself knee-deep in potsherds and surrounded by suspects-- and possibly even zombies-- while navigating his pseudo-relationship with Phil.
Phil, meanwhile, is having the time of his life. It's the perfect opportunity for him to finish his PhD dissertation and rid himself of his annoying preoccupation with Clint's ass. Or so he thinks.
But in Driftless, very little is exactly what it seems.

Summary
“Come on, Coulson," Clint said, "I just… it’s a celebration kinda night, and you should get to do it. And, to be real honest… I just wanna see you.”
It's been two years since Phil and Clint last saw each other, before the Battle of New York. Two years and a lot of trauma, and Phil never thought they could come back from all that. But the Cubs just won the World Series, and suddenly nothing seems impossible after all.

Summary
Home on leave from Afghanistan, Phillip Coulson heads for Miami to spend some time forgetting the war. In the first bar he comes to he meets a guy with a sly smile and a killer body, and he thinks he's found what he needs.
Clint, though, has another agenda.
Three years after their dramatic first meeting, Agent Phil Coulson recruits Clint Barton into SHIELD. That first meeting, and the events of those three years, will shape them, their colleagues, and the future of SHIELD itself.

Two-Man Rule by faeleverte, Kathar
Fandom Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
06 Apr 2014
Summary
"Phil was fond of Clint, and Clint was fond of Phil-- if any word that small could properly describe their complex mess of lust, friendship, reliance, history, and inappropriate behavior that really should not have worked as well as it did."
A Bowtie arc for Agents of SHIELD Season One, composed nearly equally of conspiracy, action, and smut. Wrapped so closely to Season One canon we might as well be spooning it. (Pretty damn compliant for Season Two as well-- and definitely not Age of Ultron compliant.)

Summary
He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

Summary
Thoughts on post-cr3 Wildmother (and other gods) sort-of-death. A fic in which Caduceus mourns her.

The stream is clogged with willowherb, fibrous spreading roots tangled into a thick blanket just beneath the water. Downstream, the small waterfalls are dry, the moss surrounding them unhappy, pale and crackly beneath his palm. So, it needs tending to.

Summary
It was a bit depressing, Verin mused, that the letter sitting on his desk terrified him more than all the horrors of Bazzoxan.
Verin, his mother had written. Essek is dead.
Verin read it again.
Essek is dead.
Or: Verin's brother is dead, and no one can tell him why. The only way to get answers is to track down the Mighty Nein.
