Happy new year, all, and let me start out with some recommendations. The first is called The Book Throwing Thing, written by AdamantSteve. The owner of a small coffee shop talks about two of his regular customers, Phil and Clint. (This is before and after the Battle of New York.) The second story is by ShippersList, called Safety Nest. A bit after the Battle of New York, a woman who owns a knitting cafe welcomes in a well-built young man who soon becomes a regular customer, falling asleep in a comfortable chair after she presses coffee and soup on him. After a bit a trio of "customers" start dropping in on separate days, seeming not pay any attention to the sleeping man: a blond man with a sketch book, a slender red-headed woman who attempts a scarf but doesn't know how to knit, and a man who looks like a professor. She also stops receiving any bills and learns that Tony Stark has bought the building. The third recommendation is a series called Callahan's Crosstown Diner written by cakeisnotpie. It's a multi POV tale, told from all the employees of the diner of their view of not only the Avengers but just about all of Marvel shows. All of these are found at Archive of Our Own. And with that out of the way -- after you read and I hope enjoyed the stories -- I hope you can recommend similar stories for me to read. Stories that I've missed of others' views and experience with the Avengers and family, Coulson and his team, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, the Defenders, Guardians, etc. Any new ones along that line that will become new favorites. Thanks.

I remember two with similar premise: one is a well meaning but confused barista convinced that Natasha is a serial adulteress, because she keeps coming to the cafe with a different man, and the other one is a shop owner observing Phil and Clint buying groceries. I'll search for titles and links when I'm back home (so in about 9 hours).
