Phil Coulson/Skye

Phil Coulson/Skye is the pairing of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Phil Coulson and Skye, aka Daisy Johnson, aka Quake, in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and MCU fandoms. 
==Canon==
Phil Coulson recruited Skye, who would later become known as Daisy Johnson, to join his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the pilot episode and she is trained to become a field agent. They develop a close working and personal relationship, and are concerned for each other's safety and well being. 
In season 2 episode 5, Lance Hunter compares Skye and Coulson's relationship to his former relationship with his ex-wife Bobbi Morse. In later seasons, Skye says that Coulson is the closest thing she has to family, and Coulson comments that she is the closest thing he has to a daughter.
==Fandom==
The pairing of Coulson and Skye is somewhat popular with the Agents of Shield fandom. As of 8/1/2018 there are 1741 works out of a total of 21810 works in the Agents of Shield fandom on Ao3 
Fans of this pairing point to their positive relationship and closeness. Coulson's close relationship to Skye compromises him and in season 2, he is not allowed to negotiate with the Inhumans due to this conflict.

Those who dislike this pairing feel that their relationship is too close, as Skye sometimes jokingly refers to Coulson as Dad when undercover and some fans believe she views him as an adopted parent, rather than a love interest.I don't get Skoulson tumblr post, accessed on 1/8/2018 Others do not like this ship due to the age difference between the two.

===Fanfiction===
* 5 Times Someone On the Team Refers to Coulson/Skye as Father/Daughter (and then immediately feels stupid) by RowboatCop, For Skoulsonfest2k14 Day 3: Skye's Father. It ended up being less about Skye's father and more about how Coulson isn't a surrogate for Skye's father, though each team member has a moment where they aren't sure how to better classify their relationship...
