Substituting names in romance novel summaries with fandom pairings: Clint/Coulson Edition

Too Many Grooms: When daredevil Clint Barton was told he was dying, he did the honorable thing - and jilted Phil Coulson so he wouldn't have to witness his demise. Trouble was, two years later Clint felt downright healthy. And when he realized he'd been misdiagnosed, he was fit to kill. Clint found Phil again, but his longtime sweetheart was in a wedding tux - and at the altar! No doubt he was still furious about how Clint had vanished, but Clint was ready to do anything to win his heart again. So he shoved aside groom number two and whisked Phil back down the aisle before he could say I do.

When the Lights Go Out: Phil Coulson isn't thrilled his roommate's arranged a blind date for him. It also doesn't help that his roommate forgot to tell Phil the date's name, so when he runs into a sexy stranger in the building during a blackout, Phil assumes it's him. Luckily, he's hot. So hot, Phil sheds both his inhibitions and his clothes! But when the lights come back on, Phil finds he wasn't his date after all... Getting stuck in an elevator isn't how reporter Clint Barton expected to meet his date. He's especially surprised when the cute stranger propositions him that same evening. Fortunately, Clint has always had trouble saying no. Then, when he finds out he slept with the wrong man, Clint doesn't think there's a problem. Now he just has to convince Phil how right things can be between them.

A Little Bit Dangerous: When undercover agent Phil Coulson walked away from Clint Barton, he left him with nothing but a broken heart. But when they reunited, neither one was prepared for the feelings that still existed - or for the truth lurking beneath the surface.

Eager and Eligible: Did you say hot sex? Thanks to a shipboard hypnotist, those very words transform prim-and-proper Phil Coulson into a Sexy Stripper. Easygoing Clint Barton has no idea what he's walked into when he rescues a boa-clad man from someone dressed as Pepe Le Pew. But as the feathers fly and passions ignite, this very eligible bachelor vows to show Phil he wants more than just hot sex.

Baby It's Cold Outside: At the stroke of midnight, trapped in diner by a snowstorm on New Year's Eve, Clint Barton finds himself holding Phil Coulson's baby boy. One night couldn't change a drifter into a family man... could it?

And a bonus Clint/Darcy, just because.

Game for Anything: A year ago, Clint Barton saved Darcy Lewis' life, and the sexy loner has been starring in her nightly fantasies ever since. But now Darcy's tired of dreaming. She needs to have Clint in her life, in her bed, so when she learns she's in danger - and that, once again, Clint is watching her every move - she decides to take what she wants. And poor Clint doesn't stand a chance... Clint isn't thrilled with his latest assignment. For a year he hasn't been able to get Darcy out of his head. But the spoiled princess is way out of his league. Still, guarding Darcy's delectable body has its perks, especially since she's quite willing to share it. So he's going to Plan B. He'll seduce her right out of his system. Only, the more games they play, the more he's hoping they'll end up tied.

That Too Many Grooms one sounds fucking canon to me.

Right? Clint would totally pull something like that. See, this is why he hates doctors - they always have BAD NEWS. And when they tell him he's dying, like months-to-live, gonna-get-really-sick dying, he knows he can't put Phil through that. And he knows that if he tells Phil, he'll somehow get talked into staying. Fuck that shit. So he leaves the doctor's office and just keeps going, except for a quick stop to empty his account. Cash is untraceable. The timing sucks, but two days before the wedding (which Phil has spent MONTHS planning, and really, it's a good thing Clint's already dying because Phil would so kill him over this) is better than two days after (and Clint really hopes those tickets are refundable because that honeymoon was expensive). He drives for a couple hours, sells his car to a used dealer in a no-name town, and hitches a few states away before he goes completely off-grid.

And he probably spends the next two years doing increasingly dangerous stunts for money, because hey, he's dying anyway, why not try to jump a motorcycle through a flaming hoop!
