The Avengers is an American superhero film franchise based on Marvel Comics’ fictional team of superheroes consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Scarlet Witch.
There is over 50 years’ worth of comics and a whole load of movie material but what if this is not enough for you? What if you love the Avengers and wish there were more stories about them?
Well, that’s where fanfiction comes in. Many people have written their own versions of what happens next or written their own versions of events and some of them may surprise you.
There are some really good ones out there so I wanted to share with you the 11 best Avengers fanfictions that can be found online now.
What is Avenger’s Fanfiction?
Avengers’ fanfiction, or “fanfic” for short, is any type of new and original Avengers story written by fans about the Marvel Comics superhero team known as The Avengers. These stories are based on popular characters from the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Fanfiction has been around since at least the 1960s when it was mainly published in fanzines (magazines), though it’s only within the last decade that this form of storytelling has become more mainstream through internet communities such as fanfiction.net and Wattpad.
Fanfic writers use a variety of formats including prose, poetry, song lyrics, screenplays, and comics to tell their stories. They can range from romantic pairings to adventure/action-adventure and comedy.
Why Read Avengers Fanfics?
Avengers’ fanfiction has become increasingly popular as the franchise expands and as such, more and more people want to write and read about their favorite superheroes. They also want to imagine what happens to their favorite characters after major events in the MCU, so they use fanfic as a way of extending this thought process.
As with most fanfiction, many people write these for fun and because it’s something they love doing but there are always those who want to share their love and ideas with others who may find them enjoyable too.

What to Expect from Marvel Avengers Fanfiction?
The Avengers fanfiction as a whole has plenty of different types and styles with some people preferring to stick closer to the characters as they are in the comics or films while others like to play around with them completely.
Some focus on the romance between specific characters which sometimes includes Thor/Jane Foster, Captain America/Peggy Carter, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts etc.
Some stories are also written with more humorous material, for example, characters like Loki are a perfect outlet because of his mischievous nature and personality.
One thing that you should Not expect though is for fanfiction to tie in perfectly with canon timelines. Fanfiction is a way for people to express themselves and create new stories or continue ones that they like without having to stick with the timeline as it is planned.
