...why people are labelling fic under the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D' category when it's barely relevant? There's fics from 2012, FFS!
I'll go easy on some fics from a few months ago that use the canon characters' names, even if obviously given that the pilot has only just aired, there's very little chance the characterization is going to be in the same ball-park as canon, but at least they tried to tie it into the actual show and justify these fics popping up there.
HOWEVER. I'm seeing 149 fics for SHIELD and barely a fraction even correspond with the actual show. Seems like most of them are Clint/Coulson fics, which, like, why not just leave 'em under 'Avengers'? I've never had such a hard time finding fics for main characters from a tv show because other characters that haven't even been on it are dominating the fandom! I searched just for Skye - who is totes adorbs and my new fave - and still I see nothing but Clint/Coulson everywhere!
(to clarify, I don't hate this pairing, I'm just a little tired of it popping up everywhere as a near-default. The same reason it seems a lot of people get fed up with Derek/Stiles, lol, and yet I ship this crack non-canon pairing so hard, despite not watching the show...yeah, I don't get my brain sometimes)
To end on a lighter note, have some pretty:

I ♥ Maria Hill like you would not believe. The woman needs more love from fandom, it makes me sad how little attention writers give her - and it's so hard to find fics tagged with her that are actually about her, aggggh. #firstworldproblems
