Digital drawing of user's red-headed tricolor Pembroke Corgi caught digging in a patch of dirt.  The dog's eyes are closed, mouth agape with tongue lolling happily while rainbow colored dirt flies in the air around him.

    Summary

    Young assassin Ronin!Clint Barton, Winter Soldier!Bucky Barnes, and Red Hood!Jason Todd cross paths. Sparks (and bullets, and also some arrows) fly.

    Excerpt:

    “How about this? — if you get through the first session of deprogramming tomorrow, I’ll blow you.”

    The words seem to echo in the quiet room for a second.

    Bucky has his lips pressed together as if he’s trying to stifle a laugh, while Jason is just squinting at Clint skeptically.

    “You can’t promise someone sexual favors for getting unbrainwashed,” Jason says, sounding remarkably scandalized for someone who probably just lost his virginity in a serial killer threesome.

    “Why not?” Clint stretches lazily against Bucky’s side, feeling spectacularly content. “It’s not like I’m not gonna deliver."

    Summary

    He isn’t in the habit of picking up strays and he isn’t about to start now. He remembers enough of a life from many years ago to know that picking up trouble-prone blonds isn’t a habit he ought to be falling back into.

    Unfortunately, trouble finds him anyway.

    He’s cutting down the side-street that leads to the shop when he hears the sickening sound of fist-on-skin contact, and he rounds the corner to find tall-blond-and-trouble in a literal back-alley brawl with four guys nearly as big as he is. They’re wearing black and white-striped Adidas tracksuits, and Bucky hears at least one of them call the blond guy ‘bro’ in a thick Russian accent.

    Bucky’s not going to get involved.

    He’s not going to get involved, right up to the point that one of the tracksuit thugs pulls a gun out of the back of his pants and releases the safety, and Bucky realizes that he is going to get involved because he’s not going to let anybody get shot in broad daylight if he can help it.

    Fuck’s sake.

     

    OR - escaped, former assassin Bucky Barnes accidentally makes friends with a blond disaster. It goes about as well as expected.

    Summary

    “Clint,” Bucky says, drawing his eyes back up. There’s a tiny smirk on his face, and Clint suddenly has the sinking feeling that he knows what Clint is thinking.

    Not that he’s really hiding it—it’s pretty fucking obvious what’s going on. He might as well have a neon sign above his head blaring FUCK ME.

    Summary

    Still struggling with PTSD and nightmares a year after leaving the Army, Bucky goes to a shelter to find a therapy dog.

    He finds companionship in Beef the Pitbull, a purpose in volunteering on weekends, and when the dog trainer starts smiling his way, Bucky finds something else that feels a little like love.

    *****
    Clint ran gentle fingers over the scars at Beef’s right shoulder. “Once Beef's healed up, I’m gonna put him in classes so he can be a therapy dog.”

    “A therapy dog.” Bucky swallowed what felt like doubt, panic and self loathing in the back of his throat. “He’s only got three legs. He’s cut up, damaged, growls and sometimes bites. How would he be a good therapy dog? Who could he help?"

    “What does having scars have to do with being good in therapy?” Clint’s blue eyes flicked over Bucky’s empty sleeve. “Who says he can't help anyone? Beef’s the bestest boy even as a tripod.”

    “A tripod.”

    “Yeah.” Clint grinned. “Cos he’s only got three legs? Get it?”

    It was a terrible joke, absolutely terrible, and Bucky didn’t want to smile but he smiled for the first time in a long time anyway. "Yeah, I get it."

    Summary

    Clint has once again been wrangled into doing something because Natasha thinks it’ll be good for him; he’s not sure why she thinks she needs therapy too, but he knows better than to question her logic at this point.

    Bucky’s doubtful that group therapy is going to do much for his crippling sense of self-loathing (and to be honest, he really doesn’t want the help), but Steve’s convinced it will be beneficial for both of them to learn to deal with the mistakes from their past.

    None of them ever expected to have to deal with secret government organizations, eccentric billionaires, or unwanted super powers on top of their personal problems, but then, they are already paying Sam.
