Title: everyone has a price
Pairing: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, PG-13
Length: 1705 words
Summary: "It's my job to figure out what we can give you that HYDRA can't, and to promise it upon successful completion of your mission." A slightly unusual recruitment.

Note: Everyone's a little bit darker in this ficlet. (I blame the inspiration of infiniteeight's fabulous Guarantee.) No real warnings, though. Many thanks to marmolita for her editor's eyes.
