I haven't followed comics for many years, so take this with a spoonful of salt... And please keep in mind I haven't seen the movie yet.
It's not that the rest of the Avengers dislike Hawkeye, it's that they are somewhat uncomfortable around him. Among other things, Hawkeye led his own team for awhile, so Hawkeye's mere presence throws the power dynamic slightly out of whack. Other than the Big Three, he really ought to be the next in line, but I am not sure if the rest of the team sees it that way.
Also, Hawkeye has a tendency of keeping, um, interesting company. He led the Thunderbolts-a group of (possibly) reformed villains-in part because his own past was a bit on the colorful side. And in doing so he was also romantically involved with the morally ambiguous Moonstone. So maybe it's the company he keeps.
Lastly, do yourself a favor and go see a doctor if you need painkillers to get through the day (or night). It's usually a bad sign if you have to rely on painkillers.
Hmmm, it might be some odd fandom thing then. I've read multiple fics where a character has said outright that no Avengers member listens to Hawkeye, what Hawkeye says is "just background noise", no one cares about his opinion, etc. Maybe it's the discomfort thing...
I looked it up on the Marvel wiki today, and Hawkeye does have a criminal past. So maybe that has something to do with it. That and he can be rebellious-there is a reason why he led his own branch of the Avengers for awhile. I guess he just prefers being the one in charge.
As far as fan fics go, I suppose they can do whatever they want. Alternate universes is a well-established fact in the marvel universe. Not to mention marvel writers often disagree amongst themselves.
