Capsicoul
 Capsicoul is the slash between Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson.

The Avengers
Coulson escorts Steve to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, answering questions that he has on the Hulk. He says that it's an honor to meet Steve, which he smiles at. But Coulson keeps rambling a little too much, making it awkward. Steve's just happy to help stop Loki. Coulson tells him that they made adjustments to the uniform, which surprises Steve, since he figured the stars and stripes would seem old fashioned. Coulson says that given everything that's going on, they just might need a little old fashioned.

They arrive at the base and meet Natasha. She tells Coulson to get to the bridge. She asks Steve if he asked him to sign his trading cards. Steve is confused, but according to Natasha they're vintage and he's proud of them. Later Coulson asks him to sign his cards, as long as it's not to much trouble. Steve says it's fine. Coulson continues, clearly proud of the cards.

After Coulson is killed by Loki, Fury shows Steve and Tony that the cards were in his pocket. Coulson never gave up hope. Late Steve asks Tony if it was the first time he lost a soldier, referring to Coulson.

Fanon
Capsicoul is the sixth most written ship for Caulson on AO3. In fanfiction, fans explored what would have happened if Coulson had lived, and how his relationship with Cap would have continued. To some fans, Caulson seemed like he has a crush on him and was nervous meeting his idol. Fans enjoyed Coulson fanboying over Steve, some mentions that they can relate to him when it comes to meeting Steve. This made Coulson seem a little more human than the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

FitzWard
 FitzWard is the slash ship between Leo Fitz and Grant Ward.

Canon
The two became a part of Coulson's team. They eventually were put on a mission alone together where they got to know each other a bit more and become closer friends. Fitz was hurt when he found out that Ward was a member of Hydra, but still believed their might be good in him. This hope was broken when Ward pushed a container with Fitz and Simmons in it out a jet and to the bottom of the ocean. Fitz became depraved of oxygen down there and suffered brain damage, and hating Ward.

Fanon
FitzWard gained some popularity in the fandom before the events of Ward's betrayal and H.Y.D.R.A. However, after Season 2, the popularity of this ship decreased because of Ward's attempt to kill Fitz. This attempt also lead to Fitz's brain damage. Many fans refuse to accept FitzWard because of these events.

However, many fans continue to ship FitzWard because Ward does slightly regret attempting to kill Fitz. Before Season 2, this ship was more popular with various fanart and fanfiction produced on this ship. Many depicted their small rivalry and arguments leading to eventual romance. FitzWard is sometimes appreciated because of the relationship between the two actors with Iain in particular as he wanted Brett Dalton's physique and to be him for a day. However, after Season 1, FitzWard's popularity declined with many fans expressing dislike for the pairing.

Most fanfiction with this ship tends to be based before the events of Ward's betrayal or an AU fanfiction. Soulmate AU are also popular with this ship.

On AO3, FitzWard is the third most written ship for Grant and the fifth most written ship for Fitz. It is also the nineteenth most written ship in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tag.

Behind the Scenes
"From the very moment [De Caestecker and I] met each other in pilot, it was like, OK, this is good. And then [the crew was] like, 'No, no, no, you're supposed to be into Skye!"

- Brett Dalton

"I think that episode where they kind of came together, they did form a friendship but I think it was more about forming an understanding of each other. I think Fitz had the opinion that [Ward] was just a big muscly guy who had no brains, and I think Ward thought of me that I was just very smart but I didn't have any courage to go out and do stuff. We had to kind of prove to each other that we had that other side to ourselves -- and they had to prove that to themselves."

- Iain de Caestecker on "The Hub" episode

Hawkson
 Hawkson is the slash ship between Clint Barton and Phil Coulson. AKA: SHIELDhusbands, Phlint

Thor
Phil Asks Agent Barton to give him a report of what he sees going on in a research center. However most assume they may have a bigger back story.

Avengers
After Coulson is brought back from the dead, none of the Avengers are aware. They all believe he is dead, including Clint.

Fanon
It's expressed in the fandom that Phil Coulson was Agent Barton and Agent Romanoff's handler. This means that Phil and Clint would have known each other a lot more than the films let on.

The fandom took off more in anticipation for the first Avengers film.

"Clint/Coulson first started as a ship on the Thor kinkmeme, probably because it was the only viable slash option that a) wasn't incest and b) didn't break up a canon couple. The foundation for the pairing might have been thirty seconds long but it also followed a well-loved tradition of snarky/deadpan pairings, so there was an easy setup there. Also, they were both blank characters with little backstory in the MCU who had no visible love interests, which lured in fans who are otherwise hesitant to write for comic book movies. Thanks to a couple good prompts and fills, C/C gained a modest but loyal following. Then the Avengers came out, which provided a huge blow up in MCU fic in general, but also a) gave Coulson more characterization and b) resulted in people picking up the Fraction Hawkeye comics in an attempt to characterize Clint better. Upon the realization that Coulson was a secret dork and Clint might be a secret failboat, plus the fact that neither of them had an onscreen love interest, the pairing took off. It also helped that some of the early fics were both longer and really, really good. People would click on the pairing tag out of curiosity, and find good fic--of course it got big."

WooLang

Yelena & Villanelle
 Yelena x Villanelle is the femslash ship between Yelena Belova and Villanelle from the Killing Eve fandom.

Canon
Yelena and Villanelle have never met as they're from different medias, though they both share many similarities; the most notable is their appearance: they both have blonde hair that is usually worn in braids, both are tall, both are fashionable and they're seen wearing the same grey jacket suit at one point of their respective series.

Yelena and Villanelle are the most noticeably alike when it comes to their stories: they are from Russia and they are assassins. Although Yelena is a trained assassin who didn't get to choose to become one, while Villanelle was never forced to become one. Villanelle is also a psychopath, as confirmed by the psychiatric consultant of Killing Eve. In addiction, both of have family issues, specially related to their mothers.

They also share similarities in their personalities: they have a particular way of eating that is with their mouths wide open. They also broke into the houses of the girls they almost killed to have dinner with them. In addiction, they have a dark sense of humor and have a high pain tolerance, as they usually get badly injured and don't have enough time to properly clean their wounds.

Fanon
is a fairly popular crossover pair within both fandoms the characters come from. Although most fans of the ship ship them as friends, as they think that they'd make a great team together and would easily get along. However, some fans ship them romantically too. Most fans started appreciating this crossover pair as soon as the Black Widow movie was released, since fans started noticing the amount of parallels Yelena shared with Villanelle, which reminded them of her. As of currently, there's only one work for this pair in AO3.
