Perhaps in this fanfiction, a villain uses a device that steals the Avengers' ability to feel happiness, and they have to work together to not only get it back but also to redefine what happiness means to them. They might find that their relationships with each other are a big part of their happiness.
A plot could revolve around an alternate universe where the Avengers are not superheroes but ordinary people. They are searching for a 'better sort of happiness' in their normal lives. This could involve dealing with normal problems like relationships, jobs, and self - worth, and how they overcome these challenges in a way that is different from their superhero counterparts.
One idea could be that the Avengers discover a new form of happiness that is not based on victory but on self - discovery. They each go on a journey to find what truly makes them happy outside of their superhero personas.
Captain America could also be the main character. He comes from a different time and might struggle to adapt to the modern concept of happiness. His journey could be about reconciling his old - fashioned values with the new ways of finding joy and contentment in the present world of the Avengers.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it. But generally, a fanfiction often explores different scenarios or relationships within the world or characters created by the original work. It might be about a character's journey to find a more profound or different kind of happiness.
One idea could be a new character joining the Avengers. For example, a young mutant with the power to control time. This character could accidentally disrupt the timeline while trying to prove themselves to the team, leading to all sorts of chaos and adventures as the Avengers try to fix it.
A plot could involve the Avengers traveling to different dimensions through the disks and having to team up with alternate versions of themselves to defeat a common enemy. This would bring in a lot of interesting character interactions and new power combinations.
One idea could be exploring what if a minor character from the movie got the Infinity Stones instead. For example, a random Asgardian warrior. They might use the power in a completely different way, perhaps trying to restore Asgard rather than the more universal aims Thanos had.
You could try searching on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3) or Fanfiction.net. These platforms usually have a wide range of fanfictions, and there's a good chance you'll find it there.
One idea could be to cross the Avengers with the characters from Harry Potter. Imagine Iron Man trying to figure out how to use a magic wand, or Thor comparing his hammer to a magic broomstick. Another idea is to crossover with the Star Wars universe. Captain America leading the Rebel Alliance against the Empire would be really cool.
One idea could be a crossover where Naruto gains Saiyan powers and teams up with the Avengers. He could use his newfound Saiyan strength and speed, combined with his ninja skills, to take on powerful villains. For example, against Thanos, Naruto could use his Rasengan enhanced with Saiyan ki energy.
One idea could be a crossover where the Avengers end up in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. They might be confused by the magic at first but then start to learn and adapt. For example, Iron Man could try to figure out how to incorporate magic into his tech. Another idea is that Harry Potter and his friends are brought to the Avengers' universe and they help the Avengers fight a new kind of threat that has both magical and non - magical aspects. Maybe Voldemort somehow teams up with a supervillain from the Avengers world.
You could also write a fan fiction where the Avengers use time travel in a different way. Instead of going back to collect the Stones, they go back to stop Thanos from ever getting the idea of the Snap. This would involve changing key events in Thanos' past, like preventing him from meeting Gamora or finding out about the Infinity Stones.
