J2 (SPN)
Palladium by zuben_eschamali
Jared Padalecki was sixteen when Earth was invaded, shattering the world as he knew it. A year later, he was stunned when the leader of the human resistance, Jensen Ackles, was captured by the aliens, crushing the humans' last gasp of hope. Since then, Jared has made it his life's mission to rescue and restore Jensen, even if he never expects to get the chance to do either. But when that chance unexpectedly comes, Jared has to overcome the obstacles that he's put in his own way before he can work with his former hero, who's been a captive for years. If they can overcome the ways they've both been changed, they might be able to figure out a way to stop the invaders and maybe even save the world.
This is a really great read. I’m not normally a big sci-fi reader but this just pulled me in and I couldn’t stop reading it.

Phil/Clint (Avengers)
Loved Long Since, and Lost Awhile by devildoll
"It's the small stuff that hurts the most, he finds." Post-movie Clint/Coulson fix-it.
Another lovely fix-it fic. Still can’t get enough of them

I Know This Much is True by kellifer_fic
So, having Clint Barton be his fake boyfriend to get his family off his back seemed like a good... no, scratch that. It NEVER seemed like a good idea, which is why Phil's a little astounded to find himself going along with it anyway.
This is just adorable!

Aftermath by dark_aegis
Clint didn’t ask for this to be his life. He never asked to be unmade.
And another sweet fix-it fic

Alphabet Cities by eigengrau
Take Phil Coulson and Clint Barton. Add one part sexual tension and one part snappy banter. Mix in travel writing and the alphabet. Liberally sprinkle with angst and fluff. Stir.
A series of one-shots, each focusing on Phil and Clint's relationship over the course of their travels for SHIELD.
This is a really cool idea and it’s wonderfully written

Less of You and More of Me by anon
Five times Coulson saw the Avengers naked
This is cute and hilarious

Gray by jade_dragoness
Loki ends up breaking him after all. Clint knows never be put back together now.
God, this made me bawl. 400 words and I was sobbing.

Phil/Clint/Natasha (Avengers)
When the Storm is Through by noelia_g
They circle each other for years. It's not inevitable, but it might as well be.
I think this is one of the first Natasha POV fics I’ve read and it’s great

Gen (Avengers)
Role Model by closer
"When things got fucked up, I asked what Captain America would do, and I did that. I didn't ever think the reason I did half of the insane things I've done would show up alive."
Just a lovely little character study
