Making It Work by Pandelion (PG-13)
Fandom: Avengers
Pairing: Clint/Coulson, Steve/Tony, sort-of-but-not-really Clint/Fury
Length: 5,279
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Coulson is Fury's daemon
Author on LJ:
Author's Website: Pandelion on AO3
Summary: "Scale of one to Tony Stark, how fucked am I, Dee?"
Feathers brush against his chin. "Somewhere about Steve Rogers, I think," she says.
Why this must be read: Here's a fic that has so many layers it kept me thinking long after I'd finished it. The premise of a human as a daemon isn't exactly new in fic, but here we have Fury (arguably the most powerful character) with Coulson as a daemon. This implies a heck of a lot about both Fury and Coulson (is that why Fury is so hard and why Coulson always follows his orders without question?) but it also presents a great look at Clint, who unknowingly falls head over heels for a daemon--the soul of another person, in this case a person he has no interest in whatsoever. So what is it about Coulson that attracts Clint, and how does Fury fit in? Pandelion only touches on these and more points in a fic that I feel shows the most powerful elements of a story can be the subtlest ones.
I also loved how the Steve/Tony was presented here. They're only briefly shown, but Clint narrates that he wants what they have. Since Steve/Tony is my OTP, I really enjoyed the minor comments on their relationship. Also Natasha and her daemon are fabulous. Definitely an enjoyable read, even my second time through.
