It's Not the Fall That's Going to Kill You (21369 words) by florahart
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Rating: Mature
Words: ~21350
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson
Characters: Clint Barton, Phil Coulson, Natasha Romanov, Background OCs, OFC, Nick Fury
Additional Tags: breaking up, Getting Together, Happy Ending, mention of Coulson/notClint, Phil has issues, SHIELD’s psych department has its work cut out for it, temporary (canon-compliant) character death, vague mention of unfocused suicidal inclination, not particularly AOS-compliant, fallout from trauma, Clint does use his words until he can't any more, I do break them but then I fix them, shocking lack of porn, Canon-Typical Violence, Phil sometimes makes pride and self-loathing an art form
Summary:
The thing is, Phil knows Clint is always going to be the guy who jumps off buildings, and he loves him the way he is, and these two things together mean he cannot be in this relationship any more. Even though it is going to suck to end things. Even though it actually feels like it might kill him.
So he makes the hard call and tries to go on with his life.
Except, it turns out the alternative to living with a sniper who's practically a superhero is worse, and then way worse, and then everything really goes to hell.
Fortunately, the universe somehow gives them another chance, and Phil isn't throwing a good thing away twice.
Note: there is also art, which is awesome, embedded in the post or here
