Domestic Avengers

Domestic Avengers is a relationship between the Avengers team, often incorporating characters such as Phil Coulson, or even villains like Loki.

The Avengers
The initial team, consisting of Iron Man (Tony Stark), Captain America (Steve Rogers), the Hulk (Bruce Banner) and later the god of thunder Thor Odinson, meets aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier at the request of S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury and his Avengers Initiative. The four heroes, as well as Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) and Fury, meet in Banner's lab and bicker, argue and generally dislike one another. Loki Odinson, Thor's adopted brother, attacks the helicarrier with Tesseract-controlled S.H.I.E.L.D. agents including Hawkeye (Clint Barton). Rogers finds out S.H.I.E.L.D. has been collecting old HYDRA weapons and after fending off the HYDRA agents allied with Loki, steals a ship with Thor, Stark, Banner, Romanoff, and Barton to go to New York, where Loki has opened a wormhole to let in an alien army called the Chitauri. The Avengers battle the Chitauri in what is later known as the Battle of New York. The council notifies Fury that they are sending a nuclear bomb to New York to destroy the extraterrestrial invasion, and Fury, in turn, notifies the team about it. Stark flies through the wormhole to nuke the Chitauri mothership which subsequently kills all of the Chitauri and thus ending the battle. The Avengers go their separate ways, Thor taking Loki back to their home planet of Asgard and the rest of the team going back to their homes.

Fanon
The style of fic that the Domestic Avengers would be a part of began to spring up after the release of The Avengers. Many write that Stark Tower had become Avengers Tower, a theory that later became canon, and that all the Avengers were living there. Each Avenger had their own floor or space but there would also be a gym and a group family/entertainment room that they would spend time together. Many fics in this style would also typically have the author's preferred pairing as the focus, with the Domestic Avengers as a setting or background aspect.
