Clint/Coulson - neither in SHIELD

[wickdwitchowest.livejournal.com]

I am looking for fics where one of them is not in SHIELD. No preference as to who is and who isn't. No BDSM please. Long or short. Tony being stopped from 'Spilling the beans' would be great!

I know of two fics like that, you've probably already read them: Home Improvement (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2743259/chapters/6148943) and Washed Ashore (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1831450/chapters/3933808).

Home Improvement prompted the request... Washed Ashore I haven't read - thanks!

Thanks. Loved the flipping of roles with Barton being Fury's right hand man!

You're welcome :) I actually thought sure I had more that fit that criteria in my Giant List o' C/C, but that was it.

Well, there were a few others that almost fit, but ended up with the non-SHIELD person being recruited, which didn't seem to be what you were looking for (correct me if I'm wrong!).

Not what I intended ... but what the hell ... roll 'em out you have me intrigued!

You Make My Heart Beat Faster by nerdwegian
Tony builds an ice cream truck (because Tony) and Phil is on body guard duty, so he gets to meet the kids and also the occasional hot single dad.

So, there's this awesome site called: Clint/Coulson Fic Finders (http://clintcoulsonficfinders.tumblr.com/) on tumblr. The name is very explanatory. They have a Master List of Lists (http://clintcoulsonficfinders.tumblr.com/masterlist) where they have tons of lists that have tons of stories that fit tons of themes.
The one that has stories that fit this request is this list (http://clintcoulsonficfinders.tumblr.com/post/56105678370).

Hope this helps and if your OTP is Clint/Coulson, this is an amazing source.
