What allows Clint to trust Coulson after all he's been through?

Clint has woken up in hospitals four times in his life that he remembers. There was the time his dad used the buckle-end of the belt and Barney wasn't home to stop him. There was the time he got the flu in the orphanage and his temperature started going above 103. There was the time after the Swordsman beat the crap out of him. And now, there's this time, with a bullet in his outer thigh and evidently some malnutrition and sleep deprivation problems ( ... )

Oh, Arsenic. THIS.

I love seeing Clint through your eyes. Coulson, too.

I love writing him so much. He hits that place in me that just makes me settle. Thank you, bb.

Hello, hun. What are some ways that Coulson and Clint cheer each other up after a particulary hard day?

They agreed early on after Phil convinced Clint to move off base and into his apartment, that after bad days-whatever that meant for either of them-there was no TV, no radio, no internet. No outside world, just the two of them.

When it was Phil having the bad day, Clint always made a run to the comic store before he came home. Cap was Phil's favorite, but that didn't mean he didn't read anything else. There was almost always a new run of something Phil would enjoy, that they could curl up on the couch and read together.

Of course, that was after Trivial Pursuit. Phil killed Clint at it, having a bizarre store of absolutely useless information atop all of his practical knowledge. Clint liked the way Phil would sometimes think carefully, his forehead wrinkling a bit, and sometimes just know, immediately, his fingers snapping.

On the days that were bad for Clint, they played darts, which Phil was passable at, but, well, Hawkeye. Phil would read Clint Hardy Boys books, because Clint liked how simple they were, how everything ( ... )

So gentle and kind. You have a lovely way of writing their relationship.

Clint/Coulson

Phil and Clint are at an upscale restaurant. What do they order?

Or, what do they fix for each other at home? Your choice. :-)

Clint says, "This is not going to end well."

Phil smiles behind his menu. "It's food, Clint. If you chew it, it digests the same way as any other comestible."

"Now you're just using fancy words to freak me out," Clint accuses. He's not entirely wrong, so Phil lets it go.

"You want me to order?"

Clint peers around his menu. "Really?"

"Yes."

Phil sees Clint consider all the questions he could ask, waits for something, a will I like it? or don't get anything too freaky, but all Clint does is fold his menu up and say, "Yes, please ( ... )

1. I'm sure Clint would be on board with Phil's fantasy and I'm sure he'd like that better than either of the menu items! :-) I imagine the chef would be thinking it was his cuisine that caused the look of utter bliss on his face. LOL!

2. Clint can make me grilled cheese any time! That sounds delicious. I like picturing them at the table in Phil's kitchen, just the two of them, knees touching, and feeding each other.

Thank you for these little moments! I'm smiling. :-)

If you watch CSI, who do you ship? Why? (Lady #1 is educating me, so now I want outside opinions :D)

If you don't watch CSI, when and how do Josh and Sam come out? How does the country take it? How big a role does CJ play?

I don't watch CSI! So I shall have to play with door #2.

Really? Huh. It...feels up your alley somehow. *shrug* Probably mixed it up with fics from you that I skimmed bc I didn't know the fandom...all the ones that go by their initials and are about crime solving, they get confusing! :D

Yeah, I'm sensing you got caught in the NCIS/CSI corridor. *g* It probably IS up my alley, but I have to sleep SOME time.

I see a bunch of wonderful peeps have already prompted Clint & Coulson a fair amount, so I'd like to ask after your OT4 from 'Picking Wildflowers', if that's alright? (or it could be that foursome in general, too, not just from that fic.) I'm curious about what sorts of adventuresome things they'd get up to together after a while, or alternatively, what their favorite domestic things are to do together.

That is not just all right, that is AWESOME.
