Fics like The Amazing Hawkeye

Written for this prompt at Avengerkink: It's like his superpower, he never misses. He's painfully aware that he is only human and trains his ass off to maintain his level of skill, but he never misses. Until the day that he does. It's a difficult shot, no one even cares that he missed, but he can't stop beating himself up about it. He can no longer justify to himself his place on the team and is convinced that it's just a matter of time until they get rid of him, but in the meantime he trains non-stop, pushing himself harder than ever before to try to be good enough. It takes a while for anyone to realise what is wrong, and even longer for them to figure out what the problem is. In the meantime, all their gentle probing just makes things worse for Clint and drives him almost to the edge of a complete breakdown. OR: How Jaques Duquesne fucked up Clint Barton's sense of perspective a long time ago and a slight mistake on an Avengers mission makes him lose it again.
