The Archer's Recruit by Kylynara
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)

Summary
Clint Barton falls in love with a recruit he's training against SHIELD regulations, and they decide to have a relationship anyway. This is how they get there and a snapshot of life in the tower.
This is a somewhat AU version of the MCU, because I wanted the characters I used. Mainly the events of The Winter Soldier happened differently. Bucky was saved, and SHIELD is still intact with Fury at the helm, and officially all of Hydra's operatives have been rooted out from their ranks. The reader is a receptive telepath that has been recruited by SHIELD, ideally to make the official story reality. For now, Fury doesn't trust her and doesn't want her having all of access to all of SHIELD's secrets, so she lives at Avengers Tower and trains with Clint and Nat as their recruit. Also, Laura Barton is Clint's widowed sister, he's single.
I will have a content warning in the notes before each the chapter that needs it. The violence isn't really that graphic, but I'm erring heavily on the side of caution because it is happening to kids. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the Black Widow Training easily skipable, because it's only a paragraph, but it's pretty graphic.

Something New by Kylynara

Summary
Clint and Nat have just returned from a SHIELD mission. Nat was harmed, because factors out of his control prevented Clint from being in position on time. He and the reader decide to help him feel in control again, by letting him dominate the reader. But Clint is not in a healthy state of mind and the reader is too inexperienced to call him out, and things take some bad turns.
Nat is talked about and their relationships with her are important, but she is not actually in this fic.
The reader is a telepath and underlined dialog is communicated via thought and not spoken. Also, Nat and Bucky are dating, Clint and Reader are dating, Nat & Clint are training the reader to be a spy. That includes training in seduction and sex techniques from Nat. And Bucky & Clint both occasionally assist with that training.

Summary
That is a damn gorgeous ass. It would look even prettier with some markings, but no one wants to explain those to the doctor. Like any good spies, they improvise. Sexy fun is had by all. A much much lighter tone than the previous one in this series.
