Summary
In the months following the Battle of New York, the Avengers have decided to stick together. The universe is a lot bigger and weirder than they previously thought, so someone should be around to defend the Earth, right? And no one will say it out loud, but they also formed a pretty strong bond and have become like a family. (A messy, insane, super-powered family.)
This series takes place in an alternate universe where the Avengers act as “heroes by consultation" for SHIELD, a lot like how Sherlock is the consulting detective for the Scotland Yard. Basically, the Avengers are not officially working for SHIELD, but Fury calls them in when a threat is too big/weird for even special ops SHIELD agents to handle. This means that Fury has an incentive to take care of some of the more annoying stuff for them (he keeps the military off Bruce’s trail, for example) but the Avengers are still relatively free to pursue their own interests.
(Also, fanon tropes like Ceiling Vent Clint Barton and Thor loving Pop Tarts are alive and well in this `verse.)
