    Summary

    Written for this prompt at Avengerkink:

    It's like his superpower, he never misses. He's painfully aware that he is only human and trains his ass off to maintain his level of skill, but he never misses.

    Until the day that he does.

    It's a difficult shot, no one even cares that he missed, but he can't stop beating himself up about it. He can no longer justify to himself his place on the team and is convinced that it's just a matter of time until they get rid of him, but in the meantime he trains non-stop, pushing himself harder than ever before to try to be good enough.

    It takes a while for anyone to realise what is wrong, and even longer for them to figure out what the problem is. In the meantime, all their gentle probing just makes things worse for Clint and drives him almost to the edge of a complete breakdown.

    OR: How Jaques Duquesne fucked up Clint Barton's sense of perspective a long time ago and a slight mistake on an Avengers mission makes him lose it again.

    Summary

    Clint gets a face full of alien ooze, turning him into a tiny two year old. The Avengers may be enjoying this change a little too much. Basically a pot full of honey-fluff.

    Summary

    Clint's life is a steady progression from point A to point B, but it's everything that happens between those points that make the story interesting. Things like joining the circus, losing Barney, finding Barney, stumbling into SHIELD, trusting Coulson, making a different call when he's sent to kill the Black Widow, and becoming part of the dysfunctional Avengers team.

    Summary

    The Avengers are turned into kids by a soft-science de-aging serum, silliness ensues.
    ---

    "WHO THE HELL HAD THE BRIGHT IDEA TO GIVE CLINT BARTON A BOW AND ARROW?"

    "It's just nerf sir." One of the agents says, looking nervous.

     "It's annoying as hell that's what it is. " Fury says, tugging yet another suction cup tipped mini arrow from the back of his head. "When I said I wanted him to come out of his shell, I didn't mean like this. He's got it in his head that he's some sort of Robin Hood, except instead of stealing from the rich, he just shoots arrows at my damn head."

    As if on cue an arrow promptly sticks itself between Fury's narrowed eyes.

    Summary

    Early on, he’d been surprised that she trusted him enough to sleep in front of him. Later, he realized that she simply hadn’t feared him.
