Five Times Clint Had To Explain (And One Time He Didn’t)

[selenay]

There comes a time when a writer has to stop fiddling and debating whether to change single words and commit to something. Thus, I have finally posted this.

Five Times Clint Had To Explain (And One Time He Didn’t) (9420 words) by Selenay
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: The Avengers (2012)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson

Summary: "I've got glitter in places that glitter should never be."
"Thank you for that image," Phil said dryly. "You were going to explain why you're dressed like...well..."
"A ten dollar whore?" Clint supplied helpfully.
"I was going to go with classy hooker, but whatever you feel most comfortable identifying with," Phil said.

Lovely, as always :) ♥♥♥ Figured me out yet?

*slaps head* D'oh! I wondered if it was you, but it was a psued that I hadn't seen before so...

Thank you :-) I really should have known :-D

Y'know it's still awesomely hot on the 5th read? :D

\o/

I am relieved that it's hot as well as vaguely ridiculous :-D

Dude, srsly, The One With The Goth Club should be subtitled 'a Brian Gamble co-production' - it's HOT. And Thing 5 is understatedly, explosively hot.

Considering I don't actually ship Clint/Coulson (I ship Jeremy Renner/nakedness/sexy clothes OT3), when something in that pairing makes me go 'Urf. *thud*' it's automatically recognised as AWESOMENESS INCARNATE! \o/

Be proud.

So... *unpacks the pom poms* How's BB and the log dancing coming along? *shakes pom poms stealthily*

Well, as The One With The Goth Club was inspired by Gamble that seems appropriate :-D And I'm very happy that 5 was hot - that wasn't actually intentional.

For some reason, I felt much more relaxed posting things that were intentionally crack-filled ridiculousness. This one had more things that I was doing with it which is why I was nervous and thus relieved that it did what I aimed for it.

I've had a horrid migraine all day so I'm very proud of getting 200 words on BB and chapter 1 finished. I've also re-jigged the outline slightly so that it's seven chapters rather than five and hopefully the rythm of a certain section will now work better with what I've sketched to add. Now to see how chapter 2 goes.

And, er, no log dancing today. Migraine. 200 words was all I was going to do. Hopefully log dancing tomorrow :-D

Gamble'll be the death of this fandom, srsly. *passes the vodka* I found 5 hot 'cause DAMN that kiss, dude, srsly. O.O

You did excellently with this. *flashes pom poms* I appreciate how difficult it was to achieve. It is extremely difficult to create a slow-build to the relationship while heaping on the different colours of crack. It's so much easier to start with a single cracky premise and scale the relationship so it fits within it. So, YAY! *\o/*

Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. *shooes you off to bed with chocolate and painkillers* I've put the pom poms down. Rest assured, I'll be picking 'em back up tomorrow. ;)
