Christmas Eve Will Find Me (ao3) - kahn steve/tony T, 11k

Summary: Steve walked into his apartment to find Tony sitting on his kitchen counter, cross-legged, facing the door and flicking his thumbs against the screen of his futuristic phone in a way that meant he was either playing a game or hacking the security of some undoubtedly highly dangerous and deeply hostile organization.

“Hi, Honey!” Tony trilled without looking up. “Welcome back!”

Steve comes home.

Find Ourselves in the Winter Snow (ao3) - rainpaint leo/jemma T, 6k

Summary: After a whirlwind of packing and rushing to the airport and literally running to board the plane, two small children who think the entire thing is great fun in tow, here they are. An hour from Jemma’s parents’ house, which is still too far for her mum, who doesn’t drive in a centimeter of snow, much less the several that likely cover every road between here and Sheffield.

So in all likelihood they're stuck at the airport. With two small children. The night before Christmas Eve.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like a Hallmark Christmas Movie (ao3) - cakeisnotpie clint/phil G, 13k

Summary: Phil Coulson is determined to get the big promotion; all he needs to do is spend a few days in a small town to close the deal then he'll be back in the Big Apple. Doesn't matter that it's two days before Christmas or that his best friend, Nick Fury, believes schmaltzy Hallmark movies are real life, he is not going to meet a handsome guy, fall madly in love, and move to the middle of nowhere.

Enter Clint Barton, dog trainer who runs a senior dog sanctuary and has biceps to die for.

Add a business mystery to solve.

Phil just might discover his happily ever after after all.

Summary: “They’re my relatives.” Bucky corrects bitterly and quietly. “I don’t… I haven’t had a family in a while.”

Sam pauses from his food and stares at Bucky. He would say that Bucky has always been an honorary Wilson, but he knows what he meant. Sam sips on his drink, making sure that he doesn’t drip orange soda on his newly dry-cleaned suit.

“You want me to go with you?” Sam offers instead.

When the Snow Melts (ao3) - emptydistractions steve/bucky E, 4k

The Same Bewildering Dream - Chapter 2 - My Soul is Awakened.

A Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society AU

Jemma responds to her rather unexpected letter.

Chapter 2 - Rated T - 4k Words

Ao3 Link

Well hello hello again lovelies! Thank you much for your amazing response to the first chapter! It is always so lovely to hear what you think, especially when you've been working on something for as long as I have with this fic!

Also I realise that I am posting on Thursday and not Friday as specified, but that is because I am a big dumb dumb and didn't realise I won't be able to post tomorrow, so you're getting the next chapter a day early, hurrah! Back to regularly scheduled programming next week.

I won't ramble on any further and will let you get to the reading!

Enjoy!

do you have any fics where keith is terminally ill? love your page btw!

Make Me Weightless, Let Me Fly - Lionescence

29k. (Mature)

One battle is over. Recovery is slow, steady. Everyone is adjusting.

A new, more personal battle is beginning, and with the climax of the war on the horizon, the Voltron family need to secure this fight, or risk losing the final battle before it even begins.

Parasite Dreams - NerdyNostalgia

4k. (Teen) Contains: major character death (in one ending, none in the other), implied/referenced suicide

Keith was sick, he was dying. A parasitic alien bug had latched onto him and sent him into a coma. No-one had been able to get him out and it was Shiro's turn to try. If they couldn't get him out of the dream then he would die. Could he do it? Could he reach Keith in time and save him?

Complications - Jemmae @jemmae

22k. (Teen) Contains: attempted suicide, PTSD, panic attacks

“It’s okay, you’re okay,” Shiro says, smiling despite the fact that Keith is clearly anything but. He gives Keith’s cold clammy hand a reassuring squeeze and glances at Lance, whose face is scrunched up in a tight frown.

Or, the one where Keith contracts a serious illness that leaves his life hanging in the balance, and Shiro facing the possibility of losing the love of his life.

The end is the beginning

This was supposed to be 2-3k and already over 4k, so at this stage is most likely a twoshot, but may turn into more, or might also just be a oneshot, depends how I go writing more.

Post series, pre 1 year later.

Read below, at ff.net or AO3

Her mind ignited like a flame on a match, as if she was all at once alive again, and her eyes flew open to the sight of her family hovering over her carefully. Daisy felt her sister pull away before she saw it, as she took a few slow breaths, reminding her body that it wasn't dead, and closed her eyes for a moment to get used to the pain, the pain of dying didn't seem to go away with the death either.

Opening her eyes once again, she glanced around the concerned faces but made no move to sit up, unsure if she was able to just yet, even though she felt the urge jump up, to move. She felt simultaneously like she would never again feel this alive, but she also couldn't shake the feeling of death away, both feelings so deep in her bones that it was almost all too much.

The ice cold feeling from freezing in space would have made her shiver, had it not been from the warmth that flowed through her veins, something she wasn't quite sure if it was residual warmth from Kora's powers, or from her body waking back up. Placing her hands flat beside her, she steadily pulled herself into a sitting position, ignoring the protests from the others at her moving, turning to face the exist, readying herself for whatever came next.

There was something humming under her skin, in her bones, something only she could feel, something left over from using her powers in such a way that she knew she would never be able to repeat, not without the same outcome of death. It was so strong and powerful, a high of such, that she almost felt like she could spend the rest of her life chasing and never quite reach, but also that it was a feeling that she wasn't sure she ever wanted to feel again.

Her mind felt slower, delayed, as if it was still trying to catch up on everything, but her powers allowed her to feel what was happening around her before her mind could tell her. She felt the change in the plane as it started its decent, she felt Coulson and Kora leave her side to take a more secure seat and she felt the water rushing over the edge of the lighthouse's hanger door as the past through.

Staying in her sitting position, she watched the hanger doors start to open, knowing the team would be ready and waiting for them on the other side, feeling as if she was about to see her family and loose her family all in one. She felt as Mack and May, came to join Coulson and Kora in the hanger bay, standing close by her side, eagerly awaiting the others as the door dropped and the air cleared to show the rest of their team.

Scanning the faces of the people she had wondered if she would ever see again, her gaze caught one in particular, the man that had kissed her only hours earlier, his concern for her quickly replaced by relief at seeing her alive. She felt him move to her, just as she felt Mack rush to greet Yo-Yo and May step towards Kora, who seemed unsure what to do now that the battle was done, directing her off of the plane.

Holding his gaze until he stopped in front of her, Daisy gave him a weak smile, cutting off his question for her wellbeing before he could ask. Daniel watched her closely for a moment, before extending out his hand towards her. Taking it slowly, she tentively pulled herself up, his other hand moving to her elbow in further assistance as she did, feeling as Coulson followed the rest in exiting the plane, everyone seeming to know she would be taken care of.

Standing fully, she kept a hold of his hand and felt as he moved his other to her back to steady her, she shifted slightly as she let herself lean on him, knowing he would happily share her weight. He pulled her closer into him, needing to feel her heartbeat, to know she was breathing and alive, and she understood, she needed to know the same thing, for herself and for him.

"You good?" he broke his silence, half whispering into her hair.

"Yeah," she breathed out her second word since dying, her voice sounding surer than she felt as she kept most of her weight on him as they started down the hanger door.

She forgot about it all for a moment she saw her best friend round the corner with the family she could finally remember, the wide smile coming across her face, pushing aside the feeling of death and clinging to the feeling of life. The man at her side felt the change in her and looked up at the new arrivals, a smile gracing his features as he got them off the plane quicker.

"Alya, this is Aunty Daisy, she saved us all," Jemma told the blonde child cheerfully, bringing her up close to introduce them properly.

"Hi," Daisy felt the tears start to swell as she carefully reached a hand forward to greet the child that it turned out they were all fighting for, Alya grabbing her hand as she did and holding tightly, she hadn't quite believed it when Fitz had told them, but seeing the little girl cemented the truth, "it's so nice to finally meet you."

"Hi," the little girl beamed at her, excited to finally meet the person she had undoubtedly heard countless stories about, stretching her arms in request to held by her new friend instead.

"Sorry Alya , Aunty Daisy is a little sore," her mother told her, a smile breaking through at the child's pout in response, "how are you feeling?"

"Weird? I'm not too sure, it's hard to explain," Daisy answered honestly, her whole body felt in contradiction of itself, but dying and living were opposites after all.

"Yeah, that will pass," Coulson spoke up, high fiving Alya as he came closer to inform them of his plans, "Mack, Yo-Yo and I are going to go finish up dealing with our new friends."

"I would like to run a few tests if that's okay? I know it's probably the last thing you want, but I think you'll like my new helper," Jemma told her, her doctor tone mixing with her mum tone, as if it was always meant to be.

"Figured as much," Daisy sighed, she had fully expected it, but she was well and truly over being the patient, "just let me change first, this suit feels too spacey, too death like."

"Of course, take your time, Fitz is going over everything in control, so I'll check in on him and then meet you in the med bay," Jemma instructed, turning and leaving as quickly as she had come.

"You right to walk?" Daniel spoke up, not wanting to push her too quickly, while she had seemed to be managing okay so far, he was very aware that she had died not long ago.

"With help," Daisy answered quietly, admitting it was easier than she had expected.

Nodding in response, he followed the pace she set as they made their way to her bunk, the dimly lit hallways lighting the way to the room that was both different and basically the same since the last time she had seen it, depending on the timeline. Helping her to sit on the edge of her bed, he stilled, suddenly unsure on if she needed help, and with the likely answer being yes, if he was crossing boundaries to help.

"Can you grab me a top and just some leggings?" she broke his train of thought, pointing to her duffle bag that someone had placed on a chair in the rooms corner, a thin smile at his obvious discomfort.

"Leggings?" he asked, the term unfamiliar as he set to his job, nonetheless.

"Like tights, but thicker, there should be a black pair near the top," she explained, slowly undoing her gauntlets with a practised ease.

Collecting the items requested, he sat them beside her gaining a small smile in thanks as he watched her movements, he knew he should leave, that it wasn't proper, but a larger part of him didn't want to leave her side. She paused his concerns for a moment as she handed him the first gauntlet, a near domestic action that made him feel slightly more at ease.

"Did you want me to leave?" he voiced the question that he had been toying with, taking the second gauntlet from her, placing them both on the nearby dresser.

"It's okay," she started on undoing her belt, "I might, I might need some help."

"Did you want me to get May or Simmons?" he asked politely, collecting the belt from her, and placing it with the rest, as if he had done it a million times before.

"I'm not bothered," truthfully she wasn't, she knew they were barely a thing, at least not something they had had a proper conversation over, but at the same time, she felt like they had been together for years, decades, or maybe just timelines, but they felt solid, real, realer than most things to her right now.

"Are you sure?" he pushed once more, he had gathered that her time was more open than his, but he needed to make sure she was thinking straight, that she was fully okay with him staying.

"I mean, it's nothing you won't see soon enough," she grinned at him, chuckling at the stunned look on his face, a memory from the loops flickered to the forefront of her mind; things do faze him.

"I-I… It… If, okay," he stumered over his words at her statement, sidestepping over it to accept her answer, as he leant down to take her boots off.

Going back to her task, she flinched as she went to pull the pants down, his hands reaching to help as he set aside any of his previous reservations to help with the issue at hand. Helping her into the clean pair of leggings, she held back a smirk at the way he tried not to stare and focus on only what he was doing, only what was proper.

She unzipped the top, letting him take over pushing it off her shoulders, he paused for a moment once it was off, at first she thought it was at the sight of her in only a bra, and from the fleeting desire in his eyes, she guessed that had been the start of it, but the concern overtook quick enough and she realised that he was noticing some of the newest injuries she had received.

"A part of me hoped that the injuries before dying would go with the whole dying part," she told him, watching him trace a hand gently across her ribs, doing his own checks that she was okay.

"And the other part?" he asked, catching on to what she left out, as he reached beside her for the grey knit cardigan that he had gotten her earlier.

"It makes me know I'm alive," she responded, slipping her arms through the top and pulling it on, the fresh clothes making her feel further away from death.

Sweeping her hair out from under her cardigan, in a way that felt so domestic to her that it brought a smile to her face, Daniel came to kneel in front of her, just taking her in for a moment before going to stand. Catching his hand as he did, she pulled him back towards her, staring at him for a moment, her turn to take him in, before tugging him closer, kissing him the moment he was in reach, a hand threading through his hair to pull him in deeper, she needed to feel alive, and the quick kisses from earlier just weren't going to be enough for her right now.

"I'm glad you're alive," he whispered as they parted, his eyes on her as he grinned at her.

"I'm glad we both are," she smirked back, playing with his collar, her hands dropping to his as she rose off the bed.

"Shoes?" he asked, chuckling at her shrug as he helped her walk back out into the hallway.

==========================

Entering the med bay, Daisy made her way to the stretcher, shifting her weight from Daniel to the bed, wanting to get the doctoring over and done with as quick as possible. The later getting side tackled by the mini Fitzsimmons, bringing a smile to her face that she realised was clocked by her best friend watching the whole scene.

"You said you were feeling weird? How so exactly?" Jemma asked, switching to doctor mode in an instant as she started tending to the wounds from too many battles ago and running her tests.

"I don't know, I feel like I could run a marathon, but that I could barely walk to the kitchen, like I could sleep for a week but that I could never sleep again, that, that I'm alive but I'm not," Daisy tried to explain, trying not to flinch.

"Although it is something that we have dealt with more than most, it is still pretty uncharted territory when dealing with," Jemma paused, glancing across to her daughter spinning on the chair next to her, "with what we are dealing with."

"But she's okay?" Daniel asked, wanting confirmation from the only one in the room with a doctorate.

"So far everything is coming back within normal range, and your powers, any issues there that you've noticed?" Jemma continued on after scanning through some of the results on her tablet.

"I haven't, I, I can feel them, they feel normal, I just, I'm not sure I'm ready to use them," Daisy stated, placing her hands under her thighs to stop herself from fidgeting further.

"That's not surprising," Jemma gave her a tight smile, "there doesn't seem to be any significant damage, aside from some bruising that will no doubt take a while to go down, but other than that, you should be healed soon enough, which is a miracle in itself."

"It's really over? We really won?" Daisy whispered, her voice nearly breaking at words, at the thought they might actually be true.

Her friend nodded, a tear escaping as they pulled each other in for a hug, holding tight the woman she considered her sister. Parting, the two wiped their tears away, grinning at the fact they had won and were alive, and for the most part, actually happy with the outcome, all of which, none of them had really been sure they would get.

"Ugh, I told myself no more tears today," Jemma laughed, placing her used supplies in a biohazard bin as she started to clean up after herself.

"We saved the world, and met your daughter, it's been a big day," the other woman joked back, watching the girl in question with a fondness that made her feel even more alive than before.

"Speaking of Alya ," Jemma turned to the child, "I promised you a Disney marathon tonight for being such a brave girl, now didn't I?"

"Yes, that is exactly what we need," Daisy responded enthusiastically nodding along with the little girl, "did you know Daniel hasn't seen any of them?"

"Really?!" the girl shrieked, jumping up in surprise, eagerly waiting for her mother to finish.

"That's not true, I've seen a couple," Daniel fired back with a grin, moving to Daisy's side to be ready when she decided to leave, his hand coming to her back in support.

"Really? Well, you haven't seen most of them," Daisy asked, honestly surprised that he had seen any of the very limited Disney movies that would have been out before they took him from his time.

"Frozen?" Alya asked her mother hopefully, the excitement on her face bringing them all a sense of joy.

"No, he wouldn't have seen that one," Jemma told her daughter, turning to the other adults with an apologetic look, "sorry, it's her favourite, I could probably recite it word for word these days."

"Frozen it is," Daisy agreed, gaining her an excited squeal at her agreement, stepping down off the bed as they all headed towards the common room to set up the movie.

Daniel helped Daisy drop down on to the couch, before sitting down next to her, taking in the significantly more advanced TV across from them. She smiled at his look of awe as the movie started, tucking her legs up under herself, she settled into his side, ignoring the look she was sure her friend was sending her and focusing on the feeling of safe that she felt when she was with him.

"I'm going to give Fitz a hand and then make Alya some dinner, I'll bring you two some too," Jemma told the group after she placed the remote down and instructing her daughter to stay on the couch with her friends.

"God, you're such a mum," Daisy laughed, shaking her head, "but I couldn't eat."

"You need to build your strength back up," Daniel bent his head slightly to tell her, concern edging his tone as he wrapped his arm around her carefully, more than happy to abide the new closeness that she seemed to be seeking.

"The thought of food makes me feel sick," she wasn't entirely sure she could keep anything down, even though she knew deep down she was hungry, even thinking about it made her feel worse.

"Honestly, that doesn't surprise me with everything your bodies gone through but let me know tomorrow if you still feel sick," Jemma stated sternly.

"Yes, mum," Daisy joked in response, grinning at her friend.

"Just yell out if you have any issues with her," Jemma told them as she left.

Curling into Daniel's side even more, Daisy started the movie by watching his reactions to just how far movie making had come, until she got drawn into the movie itself. He had felt as her shift in focus turned into watching it half asleep, and then finally as she drifted off to sleep, and he pulled her closer. He wasn't sure if she was still reeling from everything that had happened and still needed time to process before reassessing, but for now she seemed content with letting him help her, with letting him in, and he was happy to go along with her.

=====================

When Jemma returned, she smiled broadly at the sight in front of her, pulling out her phone to snap a quick photo of Sousa sitting in the middle of the couch, Daisy tucked into his side with his arm holding her close as she slept, and Alya on his other, watching the movie intently with him and explaining bit and pieces to him. The smell of the food in her hand exposed her actions as the last photo contained her daughter smiling straight at the camera.

"Here we go," Jemma stated as she placed a plate on the coffee table and handed a second to the man on the couch, not wanting to disturb her friend.

"Thank-you," Alya spoke politely to her mother, moving to sit on the edge of the couch so she could pick food off the plate on the coffee table.

"Thanks," Daniel responded in kind as he took the plate from her.

"How long has she been out?" Jemma asked quietly, happy to see her friend resting.

"Since about 10 minutes into the movie," he told her, knowingly watching as she turned to the movie to work out how far into it they were, "which by the way, is definitely a long way from what they used to be like."

"Just wait until you see non kid movies," she grinned at him, wondering if he understood fully what he might have signed up for, but also knowing that he would probably sign up for anything that kept him by Daisy's side, "I'm sure Daisy will have a long list to show you."

"Can we watch Frozen two after?" Alya questioned in a whisper, keeping as quiet as possible as not to wake Daisy.

"Only if Daniel doesn't mind, I have to help your father with some things still for a little while," Jemma informed her, turning to the man in question with an out, not waiting to force him into looking after her child, "I'll just take her with me otherwise, but she seems to be enjoying herself."

"It's more than okay, it's nice to be, to just be relaxed and not have to worry about the next attack," he assured her, glancing at the woman asleep next to him, "though, guessing that feeling doesn't last that long around here?"

"Normally, not so much, but it seems like we might have the choice now to choose that life instead," Jemma answered absentmindedly, her mind trailing off at the topic, before giving them a quick goodbye and heading back to her husband.

==========================

The next time she returned, the second movie was nearly over and this time, her daughter was also asleep, curled into Daniel's other side, as he watched the movie, looking more relaxed and content than she had ever seen him, although considering they had been in a mission the whole time she had known him, this didn't surprise Jemma. Quickly taking another sneaky photo, she quietly made her way over to him, making sure to take the longer way so that she would enter his line of sight slowly as to not surprise him with her presence.

"Sorry I didn't plan to be gone that long, Fitz told me another hour tops, but in hindsight, I should have guessed it would take longer," she apologised, making her way towards her sleeping daughter.

"It's fine, really," he brushed her apology off with a smile, he would never have guessed a few weeks ago that this was how he would spend an evening, but he definitely wasn't complaining.

Daisy woke with a jolt, gasping for breath as if she had forgotten how to breathe for a moment, like her body had forgotten it was still alive, the other two's attention snapping to her instantly. Blinking rapidly to clear her surroundings as she dropped her legs and sat up fully, she felt as the man she had been half lying on rubbed his hand soothingly on her back.

"Are you okay?" Jemma's level tone cut through her racing mind, as she felt her breathing start to even out.

"Yeah, yeah," Daisy answered after a moment, focusing on the credits rolling on the TV in front of her.

"Do you need me to get you anything?" Jemma asked, gently picking up her daughter after receiving a shake of a head in response, before giving them both a quick goodnight as she left.

"More Disney movies?" Daisy questioned as she settled back into the couch with the remote in hand.

"You don't want to sleep some more? Maybe in an actual bed?" Daniel turned slightly to take her in more fully, his worry rising when he saw she looked more tired than before.

"I'm good," she responded, selecting a movie and placing the remote back on the coffee table.

"Daisy," he said her name in a way that made her smile.

"Daniel," she retorted, sighing before giving him a better answer, "I don't think I could get back to sleep again."

"Nightmare?" he asked, wrapping his arm back around her, drawing her close once again.

"No, actually," she let out a humourless laugh, she actually would have probably preferred nightmares, "I, I felt like I couldn't breathe, when I woke up, I felt like I wasn't breathing. I think my body forgot that it was supposed to do that still."

"Anything I can do to help?" he offered, choosing to not keep pushing the subject.

"Just this, just being, being here, with me," she spoke quietly, as if admitting it scared her, not only because it was the truth, but also because a part of her was scared he wouldn't stay, that he would leave her like everyone else, "it helps a lot."

"Good, because I'm not going anywhere," his words sounding like a promise that she wasn't quite ready to comment on, instead she tilted her head up to give him a chaste kiss before turning her attention back to the TV.

It didn't take long into the movie until she felt him start to drift off, his arm behind her slacking off and his head dipping against the back of the couch as he fell asleep. She was glad that he was finally getting some rest and not staying up worried about her, she had after all gotten some sleep earlier, whereas she was fairly certain he had not.

Just as the next movie in the queue started, she heard the footsteps of more people approaching, moving carefully to see who, she wasn't surprised to find May and Kora coming to join her. The two newcomers moving to sit in the empty armchairs without any comment and Daisy was fairly certain that May had used her new talent to bring the three of them together, in a silent agreement to ignore that none could sleep. Glancing around the room, Daisy felt that for the first time in a while, that although this team was coming to an end, although they wouldn't do another mission together, that maybe Mack was right, and it would be okay.

Kayti Recs Fics (An Incomplete List)

I’m procrastinating writing so, here’s some fics I love! My favorite number is 7, so here’s seven of my favorite fics! I might do this again sometime in the future, but check out these fics, give them love, and go check out their authors because they’re all very lovely and sweet!!!

and we’ll stumble through heaven by lazyfish ( @bobbimorseisbisexual on tumble) - biohunter, E, 25k

Summary: When she goes undercover at HYDRA, Jemma almost immediately bites off more than she can chew. She’s saved by a HYDRA agent named Lance Hunter who agrees to go on a date instead of turning her in. Their single date into more at the behest of Hunter’s supervisor, Mr. Bakshi, and soon Jemma’s caught in a tangle of lust, love, and duty. One night reveals the truth about Hunter, shattering everything Jemma thought she knew – maybe beyond repair.

the case of the magically appearing hoodies by JaeRianL ( @acetoshikosato on tumblr) - Fitzhuntingbird, T, 2k

Summary: When Bobbi and Hunter find themselves being taken care of by a mysterious L (who smells really nice by the way), the couple are determined to find out who it is - at least to thank them, and maybe even kiss them.

time and children by besidemethewholedamntime ( @besidemethewholedamntime on tumblr) - Fitzsimmons, T, 4k

Summary: "They always knew it was going to be hard coming back after so long away from home. Even harder coming back with not only a child, but a three-year-old child."

Fitz takes his daughter to visit her grandmother and tries to explain himself at the same time.

(Daisy) Don’t You Forget About Me by sanctuaria ( @aleksandrachaev on tumblr) - Dekesy, T, 3k

Summary: Daisy doesn’t know quite what she expected, walking into a bar that advertised live music headlined by the most up-and-coming band of 1983. Honestly, knowing him, the black eyeliner, tight red leather pants, and ‘Deke Squad’ band name don’t even really take her by surprise.

What she does not expect, however?

Just how good he looks in them.

After the Storm by AgentofShip ( @agentofship on tumblr) - Scis & Spies, E, 13k

Summary: One night in the lighthouse turns out busier than Hunter expects it to be, but none of his guests are unwelcome.

two of the fairest stars by florchis ( @florchis on tumblr) - Lincoln/Fitz/Daisy, T, 2k

Summary: Fitz leaves a game of Truth or Dare looking for something to alleviate his yearning for Daisy and Lincoln and instead finds so much more.

Broken Wings by shaebae ( @shae-bae on tumblr) - FitzWard, E, 28k

Summary: Grant Ward is kidnapped by Leo Fitz, who is not everything he seems. As Leo struggles with himself and what he must do, Grant Ward learns about the future.

What are your five most popular works of all time? (starting with the most kudos)

The Sleeping Beauty Curse Fitzsimmons 26k rated E - 219 kudos

All Through the Night (co-written with the wonderful @blancasplayground Fitzsimmons 31k rated E - 214 kudos

A Very Married Christmas (also co-written with Blanca <3) Fitzsimmons 36k rated T - 192 kudos

You Are Not Alone Dousy 1k rated T - 186 kudos

Not Quite Ruined Fitzsimmons 15k rated E - 174 kudos

What are your five least popular works? (starting with the least kudos)

I listed 6 since I had a 4 way tie for 8 kudos :)

Intrigue and Expectations Kasinara 9k rated E - 6 kudos

Christmas Traditions Kasinara 4k rated T - 7 kudos

Portals and Possibilities Kasinara 2k rated T - 8 kudos

Something Like Friendship Fitz & his son 1k rated G - 8 kudos

I'm Lost and I'm Found LegacyQuakeRider 1k rated T - 8 kudos

Please Have Snow and Mistletoe FitzBobbi 8k rated E - 8 kudos

Are you surprised about any of these lists?

Nope. The highest kudos are on multichapter FS fics and one Dousy fic written during season 7. And the lowest are rarepairs that were written for specific people/reasons.

Optional, if you want to calculate it (remember that ao3 will count all the words in a multichap towards the year it is completed, regardless of how much was actually posted that year): How many words did you publish in 2020?

AO3 says 266036 which is probably pretty close. I had one multichapter fic that I started in 2019, so around 256k?

What’s a favorite fic you published this year?

There are way too many to pick just one. I did a bunch of new ships, a bunch of Regency fics, the choose your own adventure fics...

How do you feel like you’ve improved as a writer this year?

I have written more longer fics and actually worked from outlines lol

What is something new you did writing-wise in the past year? (new fandom, pairing, setting, genre, collab, etc)

This year I did all sorts of new ships (biohunter, fitzbobbi, dousy, Jemma/Hunter/Bobbi, etc.) and new formats like the choose your own adventures -- which were super fun by the way. I also did my first Big Bang which was a lot of fun and got me through 37k words.

What is something writing-related you would like to try in the future? (check back at the end of the year and see if you did it!)

I’m not sure. At this point what I really want to do is finish all of my WIPs so I can start fresh again with new ideas :)

Today’s date, so you can see how your results might change if you do this again in a year.

January 1, 2021

Tag some writers to do this next!

fsk emotions: the playlist

(i’d like to apologize in advance for how long this is going to get. UPDATE: yeah, this is around 4k, i am So Sorry.)

in case y’all weren’t aware, i have fitzskimmons emotions ALL THE TIME. my poor friends have to deal with me texting them at 11 pm like “i’m freaking out about fsk again” embarrassingly often. so, i figured i’d try to share some of those emotions with y’all, in the form of songs from my private fsk playlist on spotify.

that playlist is 63 songs long. hopefully i will not feel the need to talk about ALL 63, but i’m not going to make any promises. y’all know what i’m like about this. i’m planning on giving you a list of the songs for your listening pleasure, and then go into detail about the lines / vibes from each song that i think especially fit the ship. we shall see how this goes.

just a warning: my music taste is very all over the place. i associate the sound of 80s love songs with fsk, so there’s gonna be a few of those, but also some weird obscure indie songs and some pop and just... bear with me, okay? these songs are in no particular order, because i have no idea how to make a “”legit”” playlist or whatever the heck y’all are doing to make such good mixes. i’m just gonna stick a tracklist here and move on.

can’t fight this feeling // reo speedwagon

gravity // sara bareilles

new year’s day // taylor swift

don’t go breaking my heart // elton john & kiki dee

dancing in the dark // bruce springsteen

born to be yours // kygo & imagine dragons

i choose you // sara bareilles

ordinary people // john legend

carry on // fun.

blackbird // the beatles

thunder road // bruce springsteen

the long and winding road // the beatles

the archer // taylor swift

army of angels // the script

paper rings // taylor swift

lucky // jason mraz & colbie caillat

wonderwall // zella day

team // noah cyrus

i melt with you // modern english

cornelia street // taylor swift

coroner’s report // molly ofgeography

two // sleeping at last

fair // the amazing devil

arms unfolding // dodie

making love out of nothing at all // air supply

all the song explanations are under the cut, because this is going to get long. there’s also ten honorable mentions if you manage to make it to the end of this. let’s get started!

1. can’t fight this feeling // reo speedwagon

i felt legally required to put this one first because i literally named my magnum opus after it. i like this song a lot on its own, but it specifically reminds me of fsk because the idea of your partner(s) as the place you will always gravitate towards is peak fsk for me. also, these three are canonically each others’ reassurance and rock and i’m just... i love them a lot, okay? this song’s imagery and lyrics have come to be inextricably associated with fsk for me and i love it a lot.

important lyrics: “And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night”

“And if I have to crawl upon the floor, come crashing through your door Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore“

2. gravity // sara bareilles

this one goes second because it’s probably my favorite song of all time. i play it on repeat whenever i’m feeling sad or anxious or pining or happy or just... anytime, lmao. but i also think it’s a very fsk song, and more specifically the fitzdaisy relationship! not only does it have more of that “gravitating towards each other” theme (more literally in this case), but the lyrics are also... very much fitzdaisy, i think, who are very much each others’ safe space and have been vulnerable with each other from the very beginning.

important lyrics: “ Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile When I thought that I was strong But you touch me for a little while And all my fragile strength is gone”

(although really every single lyric fits really perfectly, so go and check out this song! it’s genuinely my favorite song ever and i think everyone would benefit from a listen or two)

3. new year’s day // taylor swift

the most underrated song from reputation, this song is probably the most INTENSELY fsk song i’ve ever heard. these three have grown up together, have changed together, have left their mark on each other in ways that can never be undone. the thing i’m most nervous for in the series finale is the show completely ignoring that impact (along with all three’s relationships with coulson and may especially!). no matter their romantic configuration, none of them would be the same if they hadn’t known the others. and new year’s day really articulates that, along with a really sweet feeling of trust and the image of them cleaning up together after a party - which makes perfect sense when you think about canon, and how they’d stick together even after leaving the life-changing experience of shield. even though there’s no more life-changing adventures, they’re still going to be together, and that means something. y’all, this song is really good and the best fsk song ever and you NEED to listen to it.

important lyrics: “Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you And I will hold on to you”

“Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere”

4. don’t go breaking my heart // elton john & kiki dee

look, just let them be happy, okay? also, i really love the trust aspect of this song, which i associate intensely with the fsk relationship. after all of the betrayal and pain and suffering they’ve experienced, i really love thinking about how much all three must trust each other, even in canon. also i wrote a fic where all three danced to this song and now i won’t ever get that image out of my head.

important lyrics: “Don't go breaking my heart I couldn't if I tried Honey, if I get restless Baby, you're not that kind”

“And nobody told us 'Cause nobody showed us And now it's up to us, babe Whoa, I think we can make it“

5. dancing in the dark // bruce springsteen

okay, this song is a bit darker than the others but i am a secret lover of springsteen, shh. also the mood works VERY well for three agents of shield who haven’t gotten a break since they left college. i really like the idea of them making their own happiness in the middle of the darkness together, because that’s part of why i’m so emotional about them! they are each others’ safe space and protector!

important lyrics: “You can't start a fire Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we’re just dancing in the dark”

6. born to be yours // kygo & imagine dragons

heck yeah, let’s talk about the fact that no one in the ot3 would be the same if they hadn’t met the others! not just that, but the fact that they support each other and are a big reason why each of them have made it through the pain of the series with, like, less trauma then they could’ve. fitz was there for daisy when she developed her powers and is the one who talked her into coming back in s4, daisy was there for jemma when she came back from maveth (and in the framework), and jemma and fitz have been supporting each other since they worked things out in s3. also, they know each other insanely well and i think this song does a great job of expressing that!

important lyrics: “I never knew anybody 'til I knew you I never knew anybody 'til I knew you And I know when it rains, oh, it pours And I know I was born to be yours”

7. i choose you // sara bareilles

they! change! together! thank you for coming to my ted talk! also, i’m just... very obsessed with the idea of them choosing to be together, choosing to try to work through their problems, even when there have been so many. i am also obsessed with the idea of them spending their lives together. leave me alone.

important lyrics: “We are not perfect we'll learn from our mistakes And as long as it takes I will prove my love to you I am not scared of the elements I am underprepared, But I am willing And even better I get to be the other half of you”

8. ordinary people // john legend

i really, really love this song, actually? i’m a big fan of a lot of his music lmao. but i like this song specifically because it’s about how complicated love can be sometimes, and i think fsk’s love gets really complicated sometimes! and like, despite it all, they love each other and they’re trying to work it out. but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s really hard sometimes! (shoutout to the fic i titled with a lyric from this song that exemplifies that exactly)

important lyrics: “I know I misbehaved and you made your mistakes And we both still got room left to grow And though love sometimes hurts I still put you first And we'll make this thing work but I think maybe we should take it slow”

9. carry on // fun.

first off, this song has INTENSE post-framework fitz vibes. this is very much how i headcanon his relationship with violence works after they escape from the framework and fuck canon. but also, just, the idea of them all healing together? the idea of them moving on together after shield? poetic cinema. chef’s kiss. they’ve all changed SO MUCH since the show started, and yeah, not all of that change is good! but at least they’re still together.

important lyrics: “You swore and said we are not We are not shining stars This I know I never said we are Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back”

10. blackbird // the beatles

i don’t know what about this song reminds me of jemma but something in this song reminds me of jemma, and fitz and daisy helping her heal. regardless, i am So Into them helping each other heal! mostly because the way that the show refuses to give them a break is SO FRUSTRATING. (also it tends to involve them being soft with each other and i am Weak.)

important lyrics: “Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly”

11. thunder road // bruce springsteen

this is probably my second favorite song of all time. i am Absolutely Unbiased For Sure. regardless, i adore the imagery of this song, the contrast between the poetic feeling of it and the down-to-earth lyrics. this song, to me, is about people coming back to each other at the end of a long long journey. being in love while tired and recovering from a long, painful, messy life. and that just fits them... so well.

important lyrics: “Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer girl Is beneath this dirty hood”

“With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair? Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere“

(y’all do not understand how hard it was to not copy All The Lyrics. you really really have to listen to this song.)

12. the long and winding road // the beatles

EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT I SAID FOR THE LAST SONG. god this song works so well for them. they are never going to be able to leave each other because they’re so interconnected and yeah, part of that is circumstance, but so MUCH of that is CHOICE. they CHOSE to spend time together, they CHOSE to spend time together, i’m getting emotional over here.

important lyrics: “The long and winding road That leads to your door Will never disappear I've seen that road before It always leads me here Lead me to you door”

13. the archer // taylor swift

this is THE definitive daisy pov song. try to tell me i’m wrong. you can’t. daisy showing vulnerability is a BIG DEAL because of how easily she deflects things! she shows vulnerability to people she loves, most notably mack, coulson, fitz, and jemma! it physically pains me to think about how much she trusts them, y’all. there’s also this sense of melancholy throughout the song, because she’s never going to be the person that she once was. I’m Upset, Y’all.

important lyrics: “Combat, I'm ready for combat I say I don't want that, but what if I do? 'Cause cruelty wins in the movies I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you Easy they come, easy they go I jump from the train, I ride off alone I never grew up, it's getting so old Help me hold onto you”

14. army of angels // the script

this song is courtesy of @theclaravoyant, who recommended this as THE fsk song, and i think she’s very right! they fight TOGETHER, y’all. i’m very emo about it. their love is TRANSCENDENT and helps them OVERCOME their obstacles and i’m Really Upset About It, okay?? this song especially sounds like jemma’s voice, but it works so well for any of them and i Love It.

important lyrics: “When they got me cornered Close to giving in Oh I feel you round me like a second skin”

15. paper rings // taylor swift

*sobbing* i just want them to be HAPPY. i think part of my feelings about this song stem from, like, how fsk manages to find love during really, really dark times? and manages to be in love with each OTHER during the events of the show, which are VERY DARK as i think we can agree. and yet they managed to get together! and they managed to stick together! and idk, y’all, i’m just so soft for permanent partnerships and people being Married(tm) and this song brings that in SPADES.

important lyrics: “Kiss me once 'cause I know you had a long night Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright Three times 'cause you waited your whole life”

“I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings Uh huh, that's right Darling, you're the one I want, and I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this“

16. lucky // jason mraz & colbie caillat

this song just SCREAMS domesticity to me and no it’s absolutely NOT because i used a lyric from this song to title my collection of domestic fsk ficlets, i have no idea where you would get such a ridiculous idea. they are all BEST FRIENDS okay and they’re in LOVE and they come HOME TO EACH OTHER at the end of the day. they genuinely like spending time together. god, this song is so cute, i love it so much.

important lyrics: “I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Lucky we're in love in every way Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed Lucky to be coming home someday”

17. wonderwall // zella day

before you tell me i’m being stupidly cliche, look at the artist. and then realize that the artist doesn’t make a different for how cliche i’m being. first off, this is such a wlw song (google that one car commercial if you don’t believe me) and skimmons is kind of. my peak wlw song. but also this song is so lovely because it’s about people persevering through challenges to be together, even their own feelings, and that’s VERY good and VERY fsk. i’m just very gay, alright? leave me alone.

important lyrics: “And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall”

18. team // noah cyrus

this song is from @bobbimorseisbisexual’s fsk playlist (thanks al i love you) and it’s VERY GOOD for this ship. god, i have so many emotions about them being on the same team (which is part of why it’s so FRUSTRATING when the show tries to split them up-). especially because trust is such a big aspect of their relationship? look, these are three people who have been betrayed a lot, even by each other. it’s so IMPORTANT that they trust each other to be on the same team!! (also this song is one of the only songs i’ve ever heard that’s apparently singing to both a man and a woman, and i’m gonna ignore the fact that it’s a duet. let me have my poly songs.)

important lyrics: “Whenever you're winning I'll give you strength, boy And I'll share your name, girl 'Cause I'll always be on your, I'll always be on your team Yeah, I'll always be on your team”

19. i melt with you // modern english

this song is sponsored by @florchis, who not only was the person that first told me about this song but also named her entire fsk collection after one of the lyrics. she has very good taste. first off i love how high-energy and happy this song is. declaring your love for someone is a VERY fun thing to do in the best of circumstances! and i just love the idea of them taking time for each other in the middle of all of their shield business. i love them so much, y’all.

important lyrics: “Moving forward using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world crashing all around your face (let me hear you) Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace (c'mon)”

“I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference And it's getting better all the time There's nothing you and I won't do”

20. cornelia street // taylor swift

YES, i know this is the FOURTH tswift song on this list. she’s really good at songwriting, okay? also... y’all.. the VULNERABILITY. the LONGING. the idea of having to deal with the very real fear of loss fits VERY well for a ship where everyone involved is in mortal danger three times a week. also, the idea of never being able to separate the memories of a place from the people? that’s peak fsk. i know i keep saying this but they’re all HUGELY INFLUENTIAL on each other and it’s a BIG DEAL!! they’re never going to get over this relationship, this love, and I’m Never Going To Get Over Them.

important lyrics: “And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends I'd never walk Cornelia Street again That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend I'd never walk Cornelia Street again”

21. coroner’s report // molly ofgeography (aka @ofgeography)

first off, everyone should listen to this ENTIRE ALBUM because it’s VERY GOOD. secondly, i know this song is really sad but imagine this as steeling yourself for the series finale. canonverse fsk hurts SO MUCH, y’all, and i love them so much. the metaphor in this song is *chef’s kiss* and the guilt of losing love is.... yeah. i’m sad. please be sad with me.

important lyrics: “How do you bury love, and what gets carved into the stone? If I had waited by the window would love be safe and back at home?”

“We held hands in the procession, black and veiled and strange You said, ‘love was good when love was here,’ it didn't ease the ache“

22. two // sleeping at last

okay i definitely think that part of this is me being an extreme 2 and therefore considering this song the Peak of Romance. which is probably a little unhealthy but leave me alone. i don’t know enough about enneagram types to diagnose any of the ot3, but definitely this song resembles all of them to some extent, especially daisy. (i am in pain.) this song, to me, feels like daisy pining for fs in canonverse. (i am in PAIN.) she would ABSOLUTELY give parts of herself up for them and count on the fact that they wouldn’t notice. god, this hurts so much. i love this song so much. if it helps, i think in a happier universe they all also sacrifice parts of themselves for the others? which hurts too but in a good way.

important lyrics: “Tell me, is something wrong? If something's wrong, you can count on me You know I'll take my heart clean apart if it helps yours beat”

“I just want to build you up, build you up 'Til you're good as new And maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too“

23. fair // the amazing devil

this song is CRIMINALLY unknown. GO LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW AND THEN MEET ME BACK HERE. this song just screams fsk at me. the humor, the depths of love, the good-natured resentment, the depths of love... god. it’s so good. i definitely think the strength of their emotions for each other overwhelm them sometimes. i think they find comfort with each other, i think they tease each other, i think they’re disgustingly in love all the time. god.

important lyrics: “She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much And he, he curses at the world for Leaving him behind and he's falling out of touch And she is stronger than he's ever been he knows And she brushes her hand through His hair, he's got so much fucking hair”

“And he holds her close just to keep the world at bay And when they're sure no-one can hear them She'll turn to him to say, she'll turn to him and say It's not fair, It's not fair how much I love you“

(yes i DID copy more than i’ve been copying for the rest, because the songwriting in this song and album are PHENOMENAL and YES i will harass y’all until you listen to it because LOOK AT HOW GOOD IT IS.)

24. arms unfolding // dodie

i know, i know, this is a really short song. but it’s really pretty and i think it fits daisy, like, extremely well. think about daisy during early s4, specifically. she loves them enough to break down her walls. that’s what this song is about. and that’s what i’m gonna go cry over now. god this post is so long what the heck.

important lyrics: “Hope I'm not tired of rebuilding 'Cause this might take a little more I think I'd like to try Look at you And feel the way I did before”

“You know I could live without or with you But I might like having you about“

25. making love out of nothing at all // air supply

okay, so i admit it, i’m actually a HUGE fan of really cheesy 80s music. but i really love this song for them? especially jemma. i think it fits jemma really well. first off, it’s that good old vulnerability with admitting that she doesn’t know everything! and it’s admitting that she specifically doesn’t know what she’s doing with this relationship! and admitting how much she loves both of them even though she might not have wanted to! and i think she’s just... so amazed, so so amazed at the way that fitz and daisy are able to forgive and be loving even when they’re in the worst situations? which is definitely a big message of this song. (oh jemma, i love you and your violent tenancies. i see al’s valid criticisms and i am Loving You Anyway.)

important lyrics: “I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em And I always know the name of the game But I don't know how to leave you And I'll never let you fall”

“And I don't know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all”

jesus CHRIST this got long. i actually also had a bunch more songs that i didn’t have a LOT to say about but i thought they fit anyways, so uh, honorable mentions:

can’t help falling in love // elvis presley (”wise men say only fools rush in / but i can’t help falling in love with you”)

the longest time // billy joel (they’ve influenced each other)

after all // peter cetera & cher (they’re never going to be able to forget the influence they have on each other)

leave a tender moment alone // billy joel (daisy pov for skimmons. that is all)

she // dodie (i am Soft and Gay and skimmons is also Soft and Gay)

bremen // pigpen theatre co. (honestly idk what to say here, it’s just The Vibe)

say something // a great big world (similar vibe to ordinary people)

saturn // sleeping at last (Science and also Influence On Each Other)

celeste // ezra vine (thanks to al for this one too, i REALLY want to write a fic about them and this song at some point)

you’re the inspiration // chicago (i just love the sound of this song. also i think all of them - but jemma especially - are inspired by the others to be better)

#agents of shield #fitzskimmons #meta #fandom song rec #ot3: you can't imagine your life without them #sb and l rambles #sb and l watches aos #music #jesus CHRIST this is so LONG i'm so SORRY #on the other hand i am NOT because this is a VERY GOOD ESSAY ABOUT FSK IN MY HUMBLE OPINION #i hope y'all enjoyed it!! thanks for making it to the end if you managed to!
