Did Clint show up in IM2 with Natasha? No. Did Natasha show up in Thor with Clint? No. Hypothetically, if Natasha has a role in IM3 and happens to date somebody, do you think Clint will show up? No. If they make a movie about Natasha and Winter Soldier getting romantically involved in modern time, do you think Clint will be mentioned? Probably not.

If the writer writes a story about Clint and Coulson, then the story isn't about Natasha and whatever relationship Clint has with Natasha.

We all have our own life and not getting your bff involved in everything you do is to be expected. In fact, it's preferable because otherwise, you're needling and demanding too much from your bff. If I'm dating somebody, the most I'll get my bff involved is probably a phone call saying, "Hey, I met this one guy/girl and dated him/her." I'm sure a bunch of people do the same thing.

They can still write good C/C stories with no more than one or two lines with Natasha in it.

AYRT

I actually agree with you. What I'm arguing with is the above idiotic idea that she can never have any other place in a "shipping fic" than yenta or literally physically absent.

AYRT again and what I meant to say was that I agree with you in a lot of ways.

I agree that it's possible to write a story that ships Natasha or Clint with someone else without focusing a lot of attention on the non-shipping character. I actually disagree, though, that their not being shown together in IM2 or Thor, each films where they were minor characters performing specific duties and with no focus beyond how those roles, is the same thing as disappearing one or the other from a story that's actually about their personal lives. I also don't find it realistic to think that if Clint got involved with his immediate supervisor, who happens to also be Natasha's coworker either laterally or vertically, in the organization in which they share a lot of complicated personal history, that he and Natasha would have nothing to talk about. This story isn't about you or your bff.
