So thanks to Tales of Suspense, more peeps than ever are getting curious about Winterhawk – FINALLY GUYS, GOD HAVE YOU BEEN MISSING OUT. Following are some very obvious recs for the average newbie to this incredible ship.

(Any author who has been mentioned here who may be uncomfortable with it – lemme know and I’ll take your stuff off this list)

leave the gun on the table by Traincat

Bucky Barnes wakes up in the future, joins the Avengers, reunites with Steve, makes some new friends and some old enemies, gets called Robocop and tries to figure out the future, himself, and Clint Barton’s middle name – all while being haunted by his past, the things he can’t remember and the creeping suspicion that Black Widow knows something he doesn’t.

Clint Barton’s Super Secret Snipers’ Club by sara_holmes

Clint Barton’s Super Secret Snipers’ Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.)

“When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center.”

Boyfriends, compromises and learning to like oneself.

Silhouette by mariana-oconnor

After a mission in Mexico goes wrong, SHIELD Agents Barnes and Rogers are given the job of hunting down the notorious Hawkeye and the Black Widow, the only problem being: no one even knows what they look like.

On the other side of the law, Clint’s enjoying messing with their new SHIELD shadows, especially seeing how close he can get to Agent Barnes without him realising, but he makes the mistake of getting attached, and that makes everything more complicated.

I’ll Keep You Safe Here With Me by sara_holmes

Yes, Clint is avoiding the other Avengers. No, he does not want to go back to New York. But then again, he didn’t exactly want to be kidnapped by the Winter Soldier either. Really, he just wants to go back to bed.

Trainwreck Through A Rear Window by flawedamythyst

Through Clint’s big main window, you could see straight across the street and into the apartment opposite, where a man was standing, staring at Clint as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. When he caught Clint’s eye, he just shook his head slowly.

The guy in the apartment opposite spends way too much time watching Clint make a fool of himself, which wouldn’t matter as much if he weren’t also smoking hot.

I Don’t Remember How by Ava_Kelly

“How the hell did they wash you,” he mutters as he raises from the chair.

“Hosed the blood down,” comes from behind as the Soldier follows him toward the bathroom.

Clint almost screams right then and there.

What do you Mean we Left Clint on Mars by sara_holmes

“What do you mean we left Clint on Mars?”

Cap’s incredulous voice cuts through the stunned silence of the cockpit, loud and shocked. He’s standing there with his cowl in hand, gaping at the holo-screen at the front of the jet. Next to him, Tony is standing with his hands on his head, mouth hanging open in a similar fashion. Over on the other side of the cockpit is Jane, who has both palms clapped across her mouth like she’s trying to hold back hysterical giggles.

For his part, Bucky is just staring at the screen like he can’t quite believe what’s going on.

Clint let out a long sigh. “So, to recap: we can’t get ourselves out, we can’t talk to the others, we may run out of air, my shoulder is dislocated and Doom is an asshole.”

Clint and Bucky get trapped in a cave.

Sing Me That Old Song Again by mariana_oconnor

After breaking free from Hydra’s control, James Barnes is keeping his head down. Captain America and his team are miles away, and he’s better off alone. He’s not expecting to be found by an Avenger. An Avenger who proves hard to get rid of.

Somehow, in spite of himself, Hawkeye ends up growing on him, and he realises that maybe alone isn’t the best way to be.

But as Bucky’s working out his own past, Hawkeye’s coming face to face with his. They never should have gone to Budapest.

The Chains that You Refuse by OddityBoddity

That time Bucky and Clint broke into Asgard.

Aaaand to round things up, visit the awesome blog of @winterhawkkisses​ if you’re ever in the mood of beautifully written drabble-y winterhawk goodness. I could really go on and on with recs, but I’ll stop myself for now (until further demand? 😉 )  I realise now we have a sore deficiency of comics Winterhawk, but hopefully that’ll change soon with how the winds are currently blowing ❤
