Doctors of S.H.I.E.L.D. Year One: Pieces Solving a Puzzle
A year after a near-fatal heart attack, Dr. Phil Coulson decides to dedicate himself to improving the residency program at S.H.I.E.L.D. Memorial Hospital with the help of his longtime friend and colleague Dr. Melinda May.
This is a rewrite of our series Doctors of S.H.I.E.L.D., which we began writing during Season 1 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. At the time, we were trying to adapt each episode to a medical setting, and as the episodes moved away from a Case of the Week format, it became increasingly difficult to write them. But we loved the idea, and we've decided to give it another try. We are keeping the original series up on AO3 for the sake of nostalgia, now called "Doctors AU."
Each story in the series will be loosely inspired by a season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and will cover one year at S.H.I.E.L.D. Memorial Hospital.
