My main source of fanfic is rec lists, tbh. I just search for rec lists on google and glance over them, and if I like the look of the reccer's tastes and proclivities, I'll invest time in reading the fics they recced.
My other suggestion is search by association, not category. By which I mean, instead of looking through archives by certain characters/pairings/fandoms, gather some of your favorite stories, and read everything the authors of those stories wrote. Then gather the authors who have written multiple stories that you liked, and check out the stories in those authors' favorites/bookmarks/rec lists. Also, try and see if you can find out which other authors those authors admire, and check out the stories written by those new authors.
Admittedly, this approach unfortunately raises your likelihood of missing solo gems by nonprolific authors, but in a fandom with as much explosive disorganized fic output as the Avengers, it's the most efficient way to get the maximum amount of goodfic while avoiding badfic as much as possible.
