Full house, then.
Phil doesn't care. He walks in, straight over to Clint, and sinks to his knees at his side.
[After Phil’s subdrop and subsequent realization that the team really don’t mind if he’s a bit subby around them, life gets a bit easier. Especially on the bad days.]

Summary
Usually he has Clint to settle his emotions, to level him or to help him talk it out, but today Clint is being an unreasonable bastard and Phil needs to handle it himself. Just like he had for all the years before Clint. He’s capable of dealing with this himself, no matter how much it hurts.
At least if he wears himself out, Clint might not flog him bloody in punishment tonight.
He probably still will. Phil knows he deserves it, and much more.

Summary
Phil's always been important to the team. For as long as they've been a team, he's been in their ear, by their side, and cleaning up the mess they leave behind. They may have taken him for granted sometimes, but they've never missed the fact that he's there and he's important.
Submissive Phil has impacted them all in an entirely different way.

Summary
Clint needs a moment to pull himself together because that man down there is Phil Coulson, senior SHIELD agent, and Clint's boss. He's calm and sure and he isn't frightened or in sub drop and he's okay, goddamnit. Clint closes his eyes, takes three long deep breaths, then focuses on the conversation below him.
He doesn't open his eyes though. His careful compartmentalisation appears to be thrown off by the scene in front of him, and Clint is not compromising the mission just because his fucking Dom instincts won't shut up.

Summary
“Okay, boys,” Steve says, and Phil is still getting used to just how okay he is with Steve treating him like a sub. It helps that Clint does the same to Bucky. “Tonight is about giving a good impression, so we expect company manners and best behaviour.”
“Stevie, you can talk to me directly,” Bucky says, smirking. “I don’t think you need to tell Phil how to not run his mouth or forget to kneel properly.”
“Shouldn’t have to tell you either, brat” Steve says, and Bucky just grins.

“Coulson, wait, stop -”
He doesn’t even know who’s said it - but his instincts know it was a Dom. Phil stops -
The next thing he knows, he’s on his knees, the room is silent behind him, and his career is over.
[In which Clint doesn't pay attention, Phil melts down, and Sam helps put them both back together]

Summary
So yes, maybe many of Phil’s safeword situations aren’t ‘real’ safeword situations, but he doesn’t care. Clint has helped Phil accept that there’s no wrong way to submit, as long as he’s happy and safe and everything is consensual. And if Phil feels the safest with ten different words for 'I think I’m about to hit my limit and I don’t want to push it any further tonight', then that’s between him, God, and Clint.
[A study of safewords and a few of the times they've been used]

Summary
Phil waits while Clint processes. His heart is hammering - he knows very well why it’s taken so long for this subject to come up, and he’s praying he hasn’t inadvertently unlocked something in Clint’s mind that he’s kept hidden away. For all he’s been distracted by this - and for all that Clint told him back in negotiation that they could discuss this one day - Phil will never forgive himself if one small want of his has made a mess of Clint’s head.
[Phil wants to try ageplay, despite his apprehensions. Clint has some pretty big worries of his own. As always, they work it out together.]

Summary
Bucky tuts. "Would Clint let you -?"
"Clint's not here," Phil snaps - then winces, because he doesn't sound angry, he just sounds sad. Which he is, but he should at least try not to turn into a whiny brat just because his Dom isn't here.
"And that's why we're here," Bucky says calmly.
[Or; the one where Phil has a bad day and Clint isn't there - but others are]

Summary
His nerves lead to him confiding in Bucky, who listens in silence then swats the back of his head when Phil’s done. “Don’t be a moron,” he says. “Ask. He’ll say yes.”
“What if he doesn’t?”
“In what universe does that happen, Phil? None. Ever. Ask.”

Summary
"Fuck, Clint, move -" is all the warning he gets before Steve comes barrelling in from the kitchen. Clint turns, looks up, and the entire left side of the house comes crashing down on top of them.
Naturally, the next couple of seconds are a bit confusing.
When the dust settles, Clint does his best to cough most of it out of his lungs, then attempts to sit up. The large wooden post over his legs halts that movement in its tracks.
[Even heroes need saving. Clint has always trusted Phil with his life for a reason.]

Summary
“Are you two talking about the wedding?”
“I asked,” Phil says. “I didn’t know… I don't know what it is I didn’t know. Is there a reason I shouldn’t be asking about it?”
Clint wants to know that too - the last he knew, Steve and Bucky had set a date and were beginning to talk through logistics. Judging by the body language and general unease, Clint is beginning to worry that they might have cancelled.
“I don’t want to do it,” Bucky says.
Okay, now Clint’s really worried.
