Title: When He Woke
Rating: PG-15
Words: 22,823
Warnings: Psychological trauma, canon violence
Pairings: Clint/Coulson - established relationship
Characters: Clint Barton, Phil Coulson, Natasha Romanov, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Tony Stark
Summary: Clint wouldn’t go see Phil after he woke up from the coma induced by Loki’s spear. Phil didn’t ask to see Clint. The aftermath of Phil's recovery and Clint's desperate attempt to feel in control of himself again isn't easy to get through. Finding what they lost in Loki's attack will be harder than either of them thought. Post-movie, established relationship.Hand-waving fix-it.
This started as a one-shot but folks asked for more to the story, so now it's a much longer work. I posted the one-shot a while ago, and now this is the complete work.
