#here's a SHIELD agent too low on the totem pole to be one of Coulson's and here's Jane whose best defense is literally running away

[pastafossa]

Not an ask or a request - just wanted to send some love your way. I’m on my third reread of TRT and I’m so excited for new stuff but I’m also loving everything you’ve written so far. Thank you for giving us a window into characters and a world that lives off the page. Hope you are having a wonderful spring.

Love from NYC!!

Thank you so, so much anon! 😭 I'm so happy you're enjoying it. I love widening the world, delving into all the chaos and adventures going on in this universe just outside of the canon narrative POV. There's just so much to explore, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I'm just as eager to get back into it, and I feel like I'm getting there, but the patience is still VERY much appreciated. Things were rough for a bit, but spring is definitely feeling like an improvement. <3

Much love back from my cold little city!

#one thing i really wanted to do is show how like #all the stuff that happens on the Grand Scale TM with the Avengers #and even to a certain extent the things Matt does that affects the city at large #kinda snowball into all these things on street level #on top of those decisions tipping dominoes elsewhere #like White Coat's connection to Stryker #it's something i always liked about DD (and the other defenders) being a balance to the Big Guys #i like seeing all this stuff at street level where to a certain extent they're all down in the muck #DD did a lovely job of building that world and fleshing that out #and so it felt natural to do the same thing and take that *further* in TRT #we flesh the Kitchen out even more #here are the people who trust DD and the little churches dealing with rising tensions over enhanced people #here are the scrappy little runaways that don't trust SHIELD after DC and the little criminal fishes who just want to avoid Fisk #here's a SHIELD agent too low on the totem pole to be one of Coulson's and here's Jane whose best defense is literally running away #I LOVE being able to run all this alongside canon #ANYWAY #thank you so much for dropping this in my box #it made me so so happy! #the red thread

Come Back to Me 4/20

Pairing: Clint Barton x Coulson’s Daughter!Reader

Warning: Angst. Drama. Struggles. Violence? Lying. Anger. Soul shattering ache in your chest. Self hate. Doubts. Plot twist!

Everything slips right through his hands in the blink of an eye. Clint Barton can fix anything. World Ending? Save it. Bad Guys? Take ‘em out. The love of his life, his soul mate, forgetting their whole relationship? Fight even harder. She might not remember what they have. She might be confused, lost, scared, but it’ll be a cold day in hell if she thinks he’ll give up that easy. He’ll do anything he has too. Help her remember, or make her fall in love with him, all over again. But what if it’s not him that she’s getting close to this time? What if it’s a losing fight? Is he supposed to watch the woman he loves, fall for someone else? Like hell, is he letting that happen.

Tag List Is Open!!

You sat at the breakfast table, finishing up the yogurt you’d been snacking on. Clint steps into the kitchen, heading for the coffee pot. You watch him, slowly scrapping together another bite of yogurt. His dirty blonde hair rumbled, from his work out.

Strong arms fill his shirt sleeves, flexing as he fills his cup. He has a little grin on his lips as he sets the coffee pot down and picks up his cup. It makes you smile, popping your bite into your mouth. Clint Barton might love coffee more than you, some days, but he was completely and utterly the love of your life.

When he turns leaning on the counter, sipping his coffee, he finds you watching him. He pauses, mid sip, before he winks at you. You smile, nodding, finishing your yogurt. It’s a comfortable silence between the two of you, not always needing words when you were with him.

“How about you take Y/N.” Nat walks into the kitchen, Bucky on her heels.

“You’re passing up a mission?” Buck looks confused.

“She’s just as good. I have things to do around here.” Nat waves her hand. Your head tips, watching her.

“Natalia.” You set your yogurt cup down.

“Fury is calling a mission, go with Bucky. I’m not feeling up to it.” She pulls open the fridge pulling out a water.

“What do you have to do?” Buck lifts a brow.

“Things James.” She sighs.

“God do you sound pregnant.” You snort. Clint inhales his coffee. Nat rolls her eyes so hard the world trembles.

“Maybe I am. You never know.” Nat shrugs. “You should go, just to be on the safe side.” She smiles.

“Don’t smile at me. It makes me feel dirty.” You shake your head, picking up your cup and throwing it away. You toss the spoon in the sink.

“It’s weird right?” Buck looks at you.

“Beyond weird.” You nod. Leaning over to kiss Clint goodbye. “I’ll be back I guess.” You smile at him.

“Stay safe.” He nods.

“Bring the world down if I don’t come back.” You wink at him.

“Always.” He smiles.

“Got an extra hair tie?” You look at Buck. He quickly pulls one off his wrist handing it over. You tie your hair up the two of you leaving the kitchen, heading for the elevator. 

------ 

“There’s the ding.” Nat lights up, practically bouncing on her toes.

“Really pregnant?” He sighs looking over at the woman who is practically his sister.

“She mentioned it.” Nat shrugs.

“You’re ridiculous.” He shakes his head.

“Come on, get your keys. It’s the big day.” She claps her hands together.

“Nat, they might not be home for a few days.” He points out.

“It’s an easy mission, low on the totem pole.” She grins, excitedly.

“You’re Satan woman, you know that, right?” He smiles.

“Satan could learn a few things from me.” She fluffs her short red curly hair.

“Ain’t that the truth.” He snorts.

“Come on Barton! Move that ass!” She claps in a more demanding way now. “It’s ring day!” She grins.

“Did you hack her phone?” He wonders, moving to find his keys in the bowl on the counter.

“I did. Wanda tricked her into doing an online test for one of those, what type of engagement ring is perfect for you things too.” She nods.

“You’re good Nat. I’ll give you that.” He chuckles. The two of them heading for the elevator.

Two hours later. A ring picked, paid for and settled into a little black box, in the bag he carried. Nat was practically beaming. She smiles over at him from the passenger seat of the truck.

“Can I look at it again?” She pleads.

“Yeah.” He chuckles. She pulls the little box out, popping it open. 

“I’m so excited for you.” She gushes in a very unlike Nat way.

“She hasn’t said yes Nat.” He laughs.

“Oh, get over yourself Barton, like the girl would say no.” Nat huffs.

“Think I’m supposed to ask Coulson for approval?” He looks over at her. She pauses thinking about that.

“Call him?” She shrugs. She closes the box, putting it back. “I’m happy for you Barton. Really, that you’re going to get to have a life outside of saving the world.” She smiles softly at him.

“I have a life outside of saving the world, Nat. She’s the whole damn world, I can’t remember a time when she’s been anything else.” He admits.

“Even when you were just casually dating?” She laughs.

“Okay, that was me being a moron about making it more.” He sighs.

“It took you eight dates and for her to ask you if it was more than just friends.” Nat laughs.

“Look I’m stupid, we all know it.” He laughs softly.

“Understatement.” Nat grins. “You finally did it though. And never looked back.” She nods.

“Never will.” He nods, smiling. 

----- 

“Mr. Stark.” FRIDAY announces to the room.

“FRIDAY?” Stark pulls up the hologram screen.

“A distress call was put out, Fury sent in a extraction team.” She explains.

“What distress call?” Clint sits up.

“Agent Barnes.” FRIDAY replies.

“Play it!” All of them shout. There’s static and a crackling, before Bucky’s gaveled, ragged voice comes through.

“Agent down.” He’s panting. “We lost the element of surprise. We took a blast. Agent Coulson’s, down. She, I can’t, she won’t wake up.” It crackles and cuts out, going dead.

“How far out is the extraction team?” Steve demands.

“Five minutes Sir.” FRIDAY announces.

“Give us every update you get.” Tony orders.

“Yes Sir.” Like that she’s gone. Leaving the room in silence.

“Barton?” Steve’s voice soft.

“Nat?” Peter spoke with caution.

His body numb. He felt like he was on autopilot. Breathing, blinking without his say. His whole world trembled, with the unknown.

“Cho, we need an emergency team on standby. Barnes and Couslon are being extracted. We have no other details except Y/N’s unconscious.” Tony swallows, on the phone.

“Clint.” Peter stands next to him. “Come on. Let’s go wait in med bay. FRIDAY’s on alert. We’re with you.” He puts his hand out. He some how manages to put his hand out, letting Peter pull him up.

“She’s going to be okay.” Sam nods.

“I need her to be.” He swallows.
