    Summary

    “Hell of a shot," Raylan hears himself say, distantly.

    "Pretty good at one or two things. Guess I'm lucky shooting's one of 'em."

    Raylan's hand is still in Tim's hair. It's been there too long.

    Tim's foot taps the corpse at their feet. "Not such a bad shot yourself. Double tap. Like the movies."

    "What's the other thing?" Raylan asks.

    "The other thing what?"

    "The other thing you're good at?"

    And Tim smiles. It's just one side of his mouth, just a hint of sharp teeth right there between barely parted lips.
    §

    Tim and Raylan’s first time. And, it turns out, Raylan’s first time, for a couple of things. Brought on by adrenaline and the mindless sexual pull of competency.

    Summary

    “HYDRA had a bunch of files. Nothing too personal, from what I could find, but little bits and pieces about each of you. Gave me a sorta ‘baseline’ to go off.” Bucky explains, “Clint didn’t have more than a sentence.”

    More of a word, if he’s being frank. Archer, his file said. That was it. Kinda hard to predict anything about the guy when you’ve only got one archaic skill to go off.

    “And that’s bothering you?” Natasha asks, giving his rant a sly smile that instantly sets him on edge.

    “What?” Bucky asks, trying to analyze her body language for clues. It’s a useless endeavor with her, but one he tries nonetheless.

    “It’s just funny, that’s all.” She ends her sentence there, and looks at James expectantly.

    “And?” he prompts, rising to the bait.

    “Clint Barton is one of the most remarkable human beings you will ever meet.”

    --

    a 5+1 fic where Bucky tries to figure out what the hell Clint Barton's deal is (and maybe gains some feelings along the way)

    Summary

    Tim glances up at him, though the hand holding the knife against Arlo’s throat doesn’t falter. “You really want me to stop?” he drawls, and he sees the moment Raylan realizes what he’s asking—the brief widening of his eyes, the way his breath catches in his throat. It’d be nothing to push a little harder on the knife, to sever the artery on the side of Arlo’s neck, right where his pulse is thundering so delicately. Tim’s killed better men for worse reasons; he wouldn’t even lose sleep over adding Arlo fucking Givens to that tally.
