Hello all! This is my first Agents of SHIELD Fanfiction. It's basically going to be a bunch of one-shots about our favorite team-without-team-players. :)

Reviews will be appreciated almost as much as Agent Ward's face. :)

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter one: New Year's Resolutions

Coulson was an evil man. Behind his smooth facade of sympathy, he was amused and excited to watch his agents (and Skye) suffer.

"I'm not asking you to die. Writing New Year's Resolution for each other and yourselves will highlight areas of yourself that need to be improved. You four have not been able to get along properly and have almost botched a mission because you all refuse to work together. This will help you. And if I hear one more person whining, I will make them spend an hour 'training' with Melinda." The agent he had referred to nodded and glared at each of them individually, and then left to monitor the plane's progress.

"Am I clear?" Ward gave a curt nod, while FitzSimmons excitedly broke into a chatter only they themselves could really understand. Skye, on the other hand, was already scrounging for a pen and paper.

"This is going to be really interesting," She muttered.

For one of the first times in her life, she was right.

Simmons always dedicated half an hour of her day to herself. Since she finally had a non-mission related assignment, she chose to use her half-hour to think of resolutions for herself.

She made a short, yet open list.

Discover another element on the Periodic Table

Help Fitz create/train a monkey assistant

Learn more self-defence

Improve shooting

She later checked the resolutions the rest of the team had made for her.

Get out more

Train in self-defence

Help Fitz organize his part of the lab

At least she didn't seem to have a lot of faults.

Fitz didn't really believe in New Years' Resolutions. Why bother creating a list of demanding goals when the inspiration and motivation was short-lived? No, Fitz preferred to set goals whenever he wanted to, not when tradition and the calendar told him to.

Nevertheless, he managed to carve out a list while waiting for his electro-equipment to finish charging.

Train in self-defence

Be able to save others

Organize lab

However, Fitz's list for himself was a bit different when compared to others.

Train in self-defense

Re-name the Night-Night gun

Help simmons find a new element

At least it wasn't terribly hurtful.

But the Night-night gun was a good name, dammit!

Stupid Ward.

Ward knew that he would probably get some resolutions related to his social skills. After all, he did get a bunch of stabbed poop as a result of his people skills.

Thanks Hill.

So he made an extremely short list, knowing the bulk of his resolutions would come from the team.

Protect Skye, Simmons, and Fitz

Be nice

The team's resolutions for him, on the other hand...'

Stop acting like a Wardbot 5000

Stop taking responsibility for everyone

Stop being determined to be alone

Wow. The team actually did catch on onto what he was trying to do.

He would give every cool gadget he had if the first resolution wasn't Skye.

Skye was pretty sure the bulk of her resolutions would come from Ward. Nevertheless, she actually made a list that had some pretty decent resolutions.

Focus on training

Learn to shoot

Regain trust

When she read her list, she was only mildly surprised.

Focus while training

Teach others Hacking shortcuts

stop pushing others away

Oh. So they noticed.

She didn't mean to push others away, not really. It was a defense mechanism. Everyone had left her. Why wouldn't they?

She resolved to give them a chance, despite her doubts.

After all, they weren't really a team.

Not yet.
