"After the second Avengers mission, the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division, which oversees their activities, decided that "no publicity" was no longer "good publicity". S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted public exposure: a long, in-depth human interest piece that would answer the public's questions about who our newest heroes are.
Why I was chosen was a mystery at first. When a massive, secretive intelligence agency asks for you by name, you don't ask too many questions in return. I was simply told by S.H.I.E.L.D. to present myself at Stark Tower at five pm on Wednesday, and to stay -- living with, eating with, and sharing the lives of the Avengers -- for two weeks."
This is written as an in-universe piece for a news magazine, set after the recent Avengers movie. It's pretty incredible, one of the best pieces of fanfic I've ever seen.
Now, fair warning if you go read some of this author's other work - I haven't, but it's evident he's the type that likes writing romantic pairings and stuff like that. Not everyone's cup of tea. But this story? This story doesn't go there - it's just a straight up awesome piece set after the movie. Obviously it's all character-driven, of course.
There's a clever stinger at the end. I won't spoil it.
