Above-Average Agents of SHIELD Fic
A place to recommend the truly worthwhile AoS fics I read (since I couldn't find one for the fandom).
It appears that a number of the prolific and skilled authors in this fandom don't allow their works into collections. This makes gathering them difficult.
No smut.
I've combed through my nearly 1k AoS bookmarks [well, I'm nearly done] to deliver this. Note that fics started after 2024 are probably not in here regardless of quality, as I did my sweep of half the Ao3 archive [sorted by kudoes, stopped when quality fics stopped showing up] back then.

Summary
'Sometimes the deepest cuts exist in one’s mind.
Sometimes the wounds that never stop hurting are kept secret from everybody around.
Sometimes the scars need to be acknowledged or they will continue to be a reminder of what has been lost.
Sometimes the scars can belong to another person, and yet you hurt in the same places.'Or: Everybody has their pain, hidden deep below the surface, not properly addressed in canon.
Let's address it.

Summary
The note on the bottle says: Take one of these old man, they’re good for your joints. You’re no good to me if you’re too arthritic to draw your bow! – Kate
Clint unscrews the cap, pops a pill in his mouth and swallows it dry; he’s spent enough time in hospitals that he’s become a champion at taking medication. He tells himself it’s not because he’s getting too old, or because he’s worried about keeping up with Kate. Joint health is just important, that’s all.
Still, he totally blames Kate when stone suddenly anchors his feet to the floor, creeping up his body at an alarming rate.
“What the fu—“
He doesn’t even manage to finish his sentence. The last thing he sees before he is completely encased is the bottle of fish oil capsules falling to the floor.

Daniel Sousa, along with three other agents, investigates the Ward family home in 1996. He knows that time is fragile, that any drastic actions could permanently alter history.
They sat in silence for nearly a minute. Sousa knew that he couldn’t promise anything. Grant was equally aware that he had offered the man sitting across from him the opportunity to differentiate himself from prior ineffective adults, and that Sousa had declined to do so.
