When Agent Coulson became his handler he used this sign:

which is the handsign for “C” with the movement of a necktie.

After the battle of New York, he changed it to this:

with the sign “strong” or “courageous”. In reference to a person, this can mean hero.

And finally, years later, when SHIELD was destroyed and the secret got out:

which simply means “Coulson lives”.

Ahhh, yes. This is my head canon now.

I’M USING THESE FOR MY NANOWRIMO FANFICTION. OMG. YES. 

And more idea fodder for copperbadge and scifigrl47

As much as I love deaf Clint Barton, I don’t know enough about ASL (grammar in particular) to do it justice just now — it’s one of those things I’d love to research-and-write, but the “research” portion can sometimes take a while. 

(I do have a bit in my drafts where Bruce finds out Clint is hearing impaired hard of hearing (sorry, my bad!) and asks him out to dinner in basically one fell swoop, but Bruce’s signing, like mine, is restricted to the ASL alphabet.)
