On the surface, Clint Barton shares nothing with Bucky Grant, the cute florist he helped save from thieves. Bucky has a business, owns more than one outfit, and looks to have a stable life.

“Buck, I gotta ask – are you here of your own free will, or did Clint kidnap you and force you to watch Dog Cops?” Steve smirked as he glanced from Bucky to Clint.“Hey!” Clint objected just as Bucky said, “Bit of column A, bit of column B.”Clint huffed indignantly. “As I remember it, I was minding my own business when you barged in here and started questioning my eating habits.”
Or, Clint has been acting as Steve’s and Bucky’s dom for weeks now, but the three of them have never done a scene together.

There was a man who walked his dog every morning in the park where Clint went for his run. Of course, Clint knew that was perfectly normal. It was the dog’s service animal vest that caught his attention. He had the guy figured for ex-military, he just hadn’t figured him for the Winter Soldier, the ghost sniper. Or, well, former Winter Soldier. It was a spur of the moment decision to buy the guy a coffee from the stand they both frequented. He had wanted to ask about the dog. He didn’t expect that it would become anything more.

He tells himself a lot of things. Things like he’s not a burden, things like he’s getting better, things like he’s awake in the middle of the night by choice, just because he enjoys prowling around the tower at night when it’s quiet. It’s the truth, if not the whole truth. What is also the truth is how much he enjoys finding Clint curled up on the living room floor next to a scruffy dog that Bucky knows doesn’t live in the tower with them.

To say that Bucky was surprised when Clint kissed him was an understatement. But it was nothing compared to the shock he felt when he learned they’d been dating for months without him realizing it. Clint gets whisked away for a mission before they have time to talk and Bucky is left to figure things out on his own - hindsight being 20/20 he can’t help but wonder how he missed things the first go around.

sometimes you’re shooting broken arrows in the dark (E) Words: 11,536 by phaeshmae
Clint’s got this theory, and he might just be projecting or something, but what it boils down to is this: Bucky could maybe potentially be a dominant-minded individual of the gentle persuasion. Like, in the making. Unless he was into some of it before and doesn’t remember it just yet, which is always a possibility. Steve’s basically the leading expert on all things Bucky at the moment, and chances are that if Bucky was running around domming back in the day, Steve didn’t know about it. Unless they were–no, if Clint lets his imagination wander down that route, he’ll be following it for ages.
And all right, so it’s a long shot. But since when has Clint not been willing to take those?
Or, Bucky and Clint’s Road to Recovery wrapped up in the trappings of a budding D/s relationship.

“I’m Clint,” he says again, knowing that he’s going to have to force this if he’s not going to go insane in here. He lasted this long, but knowing that there’s someone else? Someone else who he could talk with? No, he needs that right now. So badly. Someone who isn’t Tasha coming in to update him on the real world. Someone else who’ll help him make fun of the guards and maybe who’ll harmonize with him to Bohemian Rhapsody. He’s not looking for a new best friend, just someone who’ll commiserate. “I’m gonna call you John.”There’s some movement. Sounds like someone’s head bumping the wall. “Why John?”“Since you aren’t giving me your name to work with, you’re a John Doe to me, right? So I’ll just… call you John.”

The Art of Being a Pick-Pocket, Or Something Like that. (T) Words: 16,059 by cyanidemuse
Clint can pick anyone’s pocket without them ever noticing until he’s long gone–at least that’s what he tells Kate, his young protege. It’s something he learned in his misbegotten youth as a carnie. So, as is their usual custom, one night Kate picks out a random guy (aka Bucky) for Clint to steal from but things don’t exactly go as planned. In fact, it’s the first time since he was a kid that he’s been caught. Determined to prove himself (and not get caught this time) he keeps on trying to steal Bucky’s wallet. Too bad things never seem to go quite according to plan, but all’s well that ends well, right?
“So, this looks bad. But I swear I wasn’t trying to steal from you, you just have a great ass” Clint says and immediately starts mentally kicking his own ass. Now, not only has he come off as an inept thief but he’s also that creepy guy that feels random attractive strangers up at bars.

Lost & Found
By: mariana-oconnor and aw_hawkeye_no
Clint Barton’s got a bag full of stolen money and a burning desire to stay under the radar. His old friends in the Carnival will be looking for him and they sure as hell won’t be happy. In a desperate attempt to stay off their radar, he ends up in Timely, a small town so far off the beaten track he’s surprised he even found it, and waits for Barney to comes and get him. Because Barney will be coming. Clint knows he will.
But there’s something about the town. Maybe it’s the strange wolf that watches him from the trees, and the way people finish conversations when he enters a room. Or it could be the bartender, Bucky, who decided to hate him on sight. Something’s going on in this small town, and Clint’s not sure if he’s jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Purple and Grey
By: serinah80 and doomcheese
For Clint, getting over his soulbond with Bobbi is not easy: he’s on forced vacation, his tenants are having issues which makes him have issues, and then there’s the overwhelming boredom that makes him bond with fruit. When Coulson finally takes pity on him, he’s allowed a light duty of babysitting a new recruit in the middle of rehabilitation - the Winter Soldier. Very soon, they are friends. Very soon, Clint has a crush, so it’s totally unreasonable to expect him to say no to Bucky’s tongue-in-cheek advances. What is a poor man to do? Clint does what he always does - he wings it.
OR:
Clint has an itch. Literally. ;)

Clint ends up with a stalker who sends a flock of annoying but harmless drones at him any time he tries to leave the tower. No one can figure out who is sending them or why, and after a couple of weeks confined to the tower with no answers, Clint gives up and flees to the farm he’d bought years ago as a retirement plan, with Bucky sent along to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid. Hijinks ensue.

“The Wheel of Fortune: Great forces are at work. Cycles that were set into motion years before will speed up, leading you closer and closer to your inevitable fate.” She picked up the card, and placed it on the photo of Bucky.
“He is the center of the wheel, Clint. He is your fate.”
OR
It’s 1943, there’s a war on in Europe, and the only thing The Amazing Hawkeye is shooting is a purple target inside a circus tent.
Clint Barton has always known how to draw a crowd, and during one of the Carnival’s New York shows he manages to catch the eye of a local soldier. Bucky Barnes is unlike anyone Clint has ever met – funny, warm, accepting. Clint hardly thinks twice about going behind his brother’s back to get drinks with Bucky.
It should have been a one night stand; Clint means for it to be a one night stand. But Clint Barton is a fuck up, and with one panicked decision manages to lose everything he holds dear and somehow set into motion a chain of events that will link him and Bucky together for decades.

People like to tell Clint he’ll find his soulmate someday. Just because his mark looks like it’s crumbling, that it’s a mess with no clearly defined edges, that no one can even tell what it’s supposed to say, that doesn’t mean he’s doomed to be alone forever. Clint can remember when it was clearer, when he was younger, so he knows what it’s supposed to say, and when others ask, he just… doesn’t answer. Shrugs their concerned optimism off with a rueful grin, like he isn’t sure he believes them, like he’s got self-esteem issues, like a broken soulmark is his biggest concern.
Like he hasn’t met his soulmate half a dozen times and lost him just as often.

Post Civil War, the Accords have been ironed out. Shield is rebuilding. The Avengers are broken up. Thor is offworld. Bruce Banner is lost, and now Tony Stark is lost looking for Banner. Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers, Vision, James Rhodes, and Sam Wilson are leading the search for Stark, and consequently, Banner. That leaves the disappearance of one Clint Barton up to the newly reinstated Agent of SHIELD, Bucky Barnes.
Thing of it is, no one’s sure if Clint wants to be found. And Bucky has a lot of unresolved questions from the time they spent together in Wakanda. Maybe he’s looking for those answers more than anything.

The strange thing is that Barton ought to be an unremarkable man. He has no superpowers, no enhancements, no complicated vengeful backstory, or at least not one that was mentioned in his file. What he seems to have - helping his neighbour upstairs with her groceries, or stopping a mugger, or fighting against Doombots with the Avengers and putting himself at unacceptable risk - is an unshakeable loyalty and a dented moral compass that nonetheless always points him right.
It’s intriguing. Confusing. Fascinating in ways that the Soldier has no idea how to explain.
So instead he reports back on the harmless details; the dog, the range, the dull gold ring on the fourth finger of Barton’s left hand.

It had been ten and a half months since the fight in DC in April. Nine months since Bucky’s memories fully resurfaced and he let Steve catch up to him. Eight months since he started living in the Avengers compound in upstate New York. By now, he was used to Natasha’s sneaking, Steve’s overbearing behaviors, and Steve and Tony’s awful attempts at hiding that they were soulmates. 
What he wasn’t used to was a tall archer, and the set of twins he practically adopted.

Relationship: James "Bucky” Barnes/Clint Barton, Steve Rogers/Tony Stark 
Bucky is not the same flirty alpha he had been before he left for war, and he isn’t quite sure how to handle his attraction to the team’s archer. Clint always manages to forget to keep track of his heat cycle, so when he finds himself in preheat one morning, he’s left scrambling to get ready for his heat. Normally, he’d use something of Nat’s as a calming scent in his nest, but his growing crush on Bucky leaves him hesitating on how to scent his nest.

Relationship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Clint Barton 
Clint is in his final year of college, probably, and is just trying to earn some spare cash by doing magic tricks for the frat bros. Fake magic tricks. Magic isn’t a real thing. Why do I even have to say that, fic summary? Clint’s magic tricks do not usually end with the cards suspended in mid-air surrounded by a cloud of purple sparkles, though. Uh. Clint will be right back. Step step step step step step SLAM. 
Bucky is a chem professor and oh yeah, super competent witch, because magic is totally a real thing. He is just trying to get some grading done when his witchy alarm bells start ringing. Aw damnit. He needs to find the source of the uncontrolled magic, fast, or his tenure application will be derailed by the swift appearance of way more of his extended family than anyone should ever have to meet. 
Good news: Bucky finds the source of magic easily! 
Better news: The source of the magic is a really hot guy. 
Bad news: …who has accidentally summoned a purple sparkly demon bent on destroying reality. UH. 
Can Bucky save the day? Yes. Yes he can. 
Can Bucky save the day without winding up accidentally married to Clint Barton Uh… oops?
