Description:

Several different takes on how movieverse!Clint may have lost his hearing/dealt with being deaf.

Notes:

Basically, I love deaf!Clint and couldn't decide how I wanted to approach writing him, what the backstory should be, etc. So I decided not to decide! The stories in this series will only be related to each other in that Clint will be deaf in all of them--and likely that he'll be with Coulson in most, they are my OTP--otherwise they are separate universes in which to play. I may do one shots or multi-chapter fics.

But all of it is dedicated to exploring how incredibly badass Clint Barton actually is.

And In the interest of full disclosure, no, I'm not deaf. I've done a lot of research as well as going by what I know from my own life and friends, but this is likely going to be inaccurate and not fall within the experience of deaf/hard of hearing people in real life, either due to my ignorance, to conscious choices made by setting this in a world far more technically advanced than ours, by holding to comics canon that is in itself inaccurate already, or by making decisions on what it best serves the story to dwell on.

I mean no disrespect or offense and can only beg the patience of those that know better. I hope you enjoy!
