#would die for fitzsimmons

[would-die-for-fitzsimmons]

Reluctantly upgraded the phone I’ve been hanging onto since I was 14 today ☹️

New phone keeps bragging to me about all the AI features it has and I literally DO NOT GIVE A SHIT

[would-die-for-fitzsimmons]

Thoroughly enjoyed being on the end of your messages for this

rewatching tracks and like May is soooo annoyed with ward I love her

[cosmicqvake]

Okay, it always bothers me when I see people online hating on Alya’s hair-colour.

“wHy Is ShE bLoNdE? tHaT dOeSnT mAkE sEnSe1!” PLEASE take a biology class, my lord :,) Think back to your basic genetics punnet squares. It is entirely possible.

ESPECIALLY when little Iain/Fitz looked like this:

If anything, I think Harlow was a perfect choice! She looks so much like him!! And for casting to actually take their actual genetics into consideration makes it even better imo.

Not to mention, Deke’s vision of the older version of Alya portrayed her with brown hair, showing that her hair likely naturally darkened with age, just like her father’s did.

Can we stop questioning/hating on an actual child now? Please? The amount of it I see is actually insane (coughtiktokcommentscough). She is adorable and deserves nothing but love.

Writing in order is overrated. I write then put in order later

Anyone else have the issue where they think of a part for their multi chapter fic but there only 2 chapters in and still need like 6 chapters of plot before you get there?

[delphicnovember]

and if i said fitzsimmons was so odypen/percabeth core what then?

"would you fall in love with me again" fitz post brain injury, post framework, post future, post death, POST JEMMA FORGETTING IN S7

"i will fall in love with you over and over again / i don't care how long it's been, you're mine." jemma making amends post brain injury, jemma sobbing, framework!ward to spare leopold because "he is a good man, and i love him! if you do this, ill lose him forever", jemma sitting while leopold puts a gun to her head, ready to die, jemma not hearing fitz proposal and then after proposing herself, jemma moving heaven and earth, searching deep space for an idea that fitz may be alive. their marriage being the final key to save the world. what they're fighting for being the thing to motivate the whole team.

"don't tell me you're not the same person, you're always my husband and I've been waiting... for you."

something about sleeping for seventy years in deep space for the woman you love gives me the same vibe as searching for 20 years for home, or losing all your memories except your girlfriends name.

something about having trauma after trauma hit you so badly your psyche fractures and you lose your mind a bit, but the woman you love still fights for you, still marries you, is still prepared to die at your side gives me the same vibe as "i am not your kind and gentle husband / only my husband knew that, so i guess that makes him you!" and percy thinking he's a monster but annabeth loving him just as gently.

I JUST THINK THEY'RE NEAT OKAY.

[photos-or-inkblots]

i really do not mean to add another post to the daisy johnson deserves better / standwithquake tags considering almost every topic in these tags has been exhausted and honestly i don't think anyone really wants to dwell on said topics anymore despite their exceeding validity, but a thought came to me within the past week.

i forgot who (sorry) but someone mentioned once how season 6 became some sort of overcorrection for the writers for all the atrocities they had the team go through in S5 (i.e., revolving the story around fitzsimmons rather than coulson-daisy–emphasis on the latter–or jumping on the Doctor arc in S6 before anyone else on the team finds out a la 5x14). Mulling over events in S7, it seems as if some of the overcorrection reached it, too. i can't blame the writers, considering the renewal was about to end, but it didn't take away the fact that they tried. and it (sort of) backfired. (also i'm not sure about the fandom response since i joined the boat a few months before season 7 aired, but it's still worth pointing out)

exhibit a: Jiaying. in season 2, Cal had the opportunity to redeem himself, while Jiaying didn't, she was reduced into this one-dimensional antagonist, completely glossing over the fact that she had a point–you can't trust SHIELD with powereds, much less Inhumans. and people knew this. one can chalk up 2B SHIELD's choices to Gonzales, but, if you think about it, seasons 3-7 retroactively support this (apart from the ATCU mess, they failed to keep Hive out, ensuing 3B plus S4, which continues the exhaustive dialogue for their rights–they were living peacefully for centuries, mind you–and continuing the Index endangered some of them via the Watchdogs hacking in. also the Sokovia Accords. S5 literally depicts Inhumans sold as slaves by a Kree dynasty, which wouldn't have to be a thing if they remained secret from the rest of society; S6&7 still relies on inhuman powers being harvested–anyone remember alternate John Garrett?) and this has yet to factor in how Daisy and Yo-yo are treated by the value of their powers (Daisy especially; that girl has been through some Shit). so, Season 7 is their last hurrah, and what do they do? They give Jiaying the chance to redeem herself to Daisy and to the audience by introducing us to who she was before dying in '89, plus Kora to show how much she cares for her child, a full 180 on the Jiaying that tried to kill Daisy in S2.

but how would we meet this Jiaying?

enter exhibit b: Daisy's torture in S7. it's not exactly The Devil Complex, but it still happened (hammer on the nail is that it's the same operation Whitehall did on Jiaying). everyone in these tags has feelings for 5x14, which a vocal minority agreed with when it aired (and honestly, it does no one any favors. i get The Doctor reveal, really, I do, but the image of a white man subduing an asian-american to extract her physical value is not a good look. seriously). another general complaint that rose was that Daisy didn't have someone comforting her because everyone was standing on attention considering the stakes, so what do they do in Season 7? Enter Sousa. He's right there by Daisy in the immediate aftermath of her torture. Hit two birds with one stone to redeem the way they treated Daisy in two seasons. Great!

Not.

they wouldn't have needed course correction if there was nothing to correct in the first place. the fact still remains, Daisy got tortured the same way twice, as if one time wasn't enough. Afterlife entering a dialogue with SHIELD on proper ground would've been politically interesting for the plot. there was also Daisy's over-sexualization in S6 that ended with a sexism monologue in S7. closure between Fitz and Daisy would've been so much better than having the same shit done twice. and, at least Jiaying actually had to die in S2 because Cal was keeping his promise to protect their daughter, not like S7 where she died (way too easily tbh) just for shock value (and to have Kora on their side I think? but Fitzsimmons's calculations didn't consider Jiaying dying so. she really wasn't supposed to die).

ok i thought of this last week but i forgot then i remembered it today and i hope i mentioned everything lol it just Has To Be Said

My top 10 ships

I haven't done this in forever, and I was bored and didn't feel like working so.....felt like an appropriate thing to do instead.

My top 10 ships!

#1 Polin - Bridgerton

Did you really anticipate anyone else being at my top spot? Friends to lovers....Swoon! They have my heart, soul, and life. I literally love a girl who knows what she wants and a man who loves the fuck out of her like no other so this is like porn and comfort. Give me everything tonight and more!

#2 Captain Swan - OUAT

If you aren't going to give me friends to lovers, I'll move over to Enemies and find my kind because holy hot out of hell, there is nothing better than Captain Hook and his smolder winning over Emma Swan. Fuck that man can burn! Years after that show ended and I can still sit in them and ruminate and catch myself on fire.

#3 Clois - Smallville

There have been a lot of different Lois and Clark's out there, but none have been Erica Durance and Tom Welling. I've never been so happy and angry with a show in all my life. I used to wish so much against Lana Lang that I am embarrassed my own behavior. But I truly loved the banter and way these two brought these characters to live. It was marvelous.

#4 Reylo - Star Wars

Being a Reylo shipper was like being sentenced to death and hell all at the same time for many years. We were bullied, tortured, shat on, and then given everything we wanted in 30 seconds only for them to fucking KILL HIM after a sacrifice. I have never both smiled, cried, and then curled into a ball in a theater so quickly that I wanted to die before. Even my family ridiculed me. It was torture but I still live there. I still ship it and you cannot make me stop!!

#5 Fitzsimmons - Agents of Shield

The brilliant science couple put through so much that even they thought they were cursed. Pushed to find each other across time and space, kidnapped into a matrix, forced to fight one another, half the couple killed, duplicate versions of themselves, but champions of the hug, star crossed and so full of love. Friends to lovers, he fell first, she fell harder and GOD I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR!

#6 Starpollo - Battlestar Galactica

A couple who knew how to tear out my heart, throw it to the ground, and then trample it with their feet to ashes. While Lee and Kara were not destined to end up together, they damn sure made it hard not to want them to find a way. They truly loved each other more than anyone they were with in the show, but guilt always found a way to fuck that up for them. God it hurt to love you two.

#7 Romanogers - Marvel Universe

Let's talk crack ships because oh how they break your heart. But it is glorious. This one is mine. I will forever love Nat and Steve and I will live in the space and time that they were on the road together living their lives without a banner. Because you can't tell me what they got up to! I refuse to believe you! But let's not talk about how it all ended because my heart still hurts and I don't like to talk about it!

#8 Finchel - Glee

Since I'm already ripping my heart out, let's go all the way with it. Finchel has always been that ship that tears my heart to shreds. I was all in from the characters to the actors and I'll never honestly get over it. I'll probably always bleed Finn and Rachel, Cory and Lea. And I'll never be able to talk about it to normal people. It was something I lived, breathed, and honestly part of me died with. So I think that's enough of that.

#9 Caryl - The Walking Dead

You can call this whatever it is, some say crack ship, I say...otherwise. It's my ship of ships for TWD. It's my coming home ship. Because that's what they are to each other. They are love. No one tell me otherwise, I live there, I love there. So do they. Deal with it.

#10 Roschel - Friends

Look, say what you want, but I stayed home on Thursday nights just to watch whether they would or wouldn't. Nothing grabbed me like these two. They were lobsters, they were on a break, I didn't give a fuck what it was, only that they had me in a chokehold and that's what I realized what shipping was. Because dammit, I wanted whatever feeling it was. And thus the 9 people above because the passion I sought. So bless it, they needed to be here.

And there you have it, my top 10 ships! Hope you enjoyed! Feel free to add your own :)

[optics-anddesign]

stop cause these tags made me realize why i love them so much

they remind me of them !!!!!!!!!!!

words can’t even come close to describing how much i love them

[my-stories-and-fanfics]

No Time To Die (FitzSimmons AU)

Overview: Fitz goes looking for Simmons, but does she really want to be found?

Fitz hadn’t seen Jemma in months, everyone around him telling him that she was ‘okay’ and that he didn’t have to worry about her. But nobody would tell him where she was, no matter how much he asked. And the worst part, he knew it was because something was wrong. They wouldn’t hide it from him if it wasn’t. It also didn’t help that his mind has been very jumbled lately… ever since Ward trapped them in the bottom of the ocean. He was about ready to steal the quinjet and find her himself, with help from Daisy of course. He couldn’t deny that she was going to be the best at finding her. So, with that, he put his plan into action.

He started to walk out of his ‘lab’, which had moved. A lot. And made his way toward where he thought that Daisy would be. But, before he could get there, Mack stopped him. Him and Mack had gotten pretty close over the last few weeks, and he didn’t treat him like he was so irreparably damaged. 

Mack smiles when he sees him. “Hey Turbo, any new ideas lately?

Fitz keeps walking but tries his best to answer the question. “Uh- yes. Its-its a- what's the word… bio... biological DNA sensor, I think.” He replies, and he thinks Mack nods before he walks off, but he was already back to finding Daisy, no longer focused on Mack.

He walks into her room without knocking, this was urgent. And there she was, sitting on her bed, reading a book. But she looks up when she hears him come in. She smiles and closes the book. “Hey Fitz, what’s going on?” She asked, noticing the look on his face.

“I’m going to find Simmons.”

Daisy’s face instantly drops. “I-I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Great, she knew the thing that they were all keeping from him, too. What was it? What was so bad that they would keep it from her best friend? Actually, he didn’t want anyone to answer that. 

“But why? You guys won’t tell me anything, so I’m going to find out for myself.”

“There’s a reason you don’t know. I'm sorry Fitz, but I can’t help you. I really want to…”

“Fine. I’ll do it myself. If Coulson asks where I am, tell him I’m taking a break.” He says before walking out, he can hear Daisy call something after him, but he didn’t hear, nor did he care. 

He practically runs toward the Quinjet. There’s only one problem though… he needs a pilot. Why didn’t he think of this before? Now he has to find one, and there's not a lot of time, considering Daisy will probably tell May or somebody. He has to hurry…

He quickly changes course towards the newbie training room, where there should be at least one pilot. He rushes into the room and everybody looks at him. “Do-Do any of you know how to- um…” He snaps his fingers, trying to find the word. “Pilot. That’s what it is.”

One of the people in the room hesitantly raised her hand. It was a girl, about 4 years younger than him, with long brown hair. “Uh, I can?” 

Fitz walked over to her. “Great. You’re coming with me. I need a pilot.”

“Um, I'm not cleared for field work-” The agent was cut off as Fitz dragged her away and back towards the quinjet. As soon as they got out of the room, she pushed Fitz away. “I can walk by myself.” 

“Sorry.” He simply said, still running towards where the quinjet was parked. “We’re kind of in a hurry-” He was cut off by the doors in front of them leading to the room where the Quinjet was closing. He started running even faster, the agent on his heels. They just barely make it in before they close.

The Agent was breathing heavily. “What the heck! What's all this about, anyway?”

“We’re finding somebody. Now get to the pilot’s seat, we need to get out of here.” He replies, going to sit in the co-pilot seat.

The agent, without another thought, moved to sit next to him, looking around for a second, surveying the controls around her. She flips a few switches, and pulls a few things, and they’re in the air. The doors above them are still closed, though. So Fitz aims the guns and starts to shoot at it, and after a few seconds, there’s a hole big enough for the quinjet to fit through. The agent next to him maneuvers the quinjet, careful not to hit anything. When they’re in the open sky, they both let out a relieved sigh.

“What’s your name again? I don’t think I asked.” Fitz asked.

“Delilah. Delilah Verticu, or just Agent Verticu. Whatever one you want. And who are you? Because I’m pretty sure this counts as a kidnapping-”

“I’m Fitz. I needed a pilot. I need to find my friend, but I have no idea where she is and they won’t tell me anything. So that’s why you’re here. Don’t worry, you’re just the pilot. Hopefully I won’t have to fight…” He explains.

Delilah was still digesting all the information, he could see it on her face. “So… where do we go first?” She asks.

“That's-That's a great question. One that I’ll try to find the answer to.” He stands up and moves to the back, where a computer was. 

He started to run facial recognition for Simmons, which was kind of hard to do with only one good hand, but he managed.

Hopefully it wouldn't take very long to find where she last was. He was worried, over the last few days, his mind has imagined the worst, she could be dead…. Anything was better than that.

Then, the facial recognition had found her already. Weird, Jemma knew when there was a camera, she might not be a field agent, but she knows when somebody’s watching her. So that means she wants to be found. 

“What is it?” 

“A location. California.” He goes to sit next to Delilah again as she changes course

There’s at least 5 hours until they get there, so sleeping probably wasn’t the worst idea. He grabbed a brochure from behind him and put it over his eyes. “Wake me up when we’re there.”

Within 40 minutes, he’s sound asleep. Before he had gone to sleep, he’d given Delilah a specific location, so that was not a problem. 

“Fitz! We’re here.” Delilah said, gently nudging him. He must have been asleep for at least 4 hours. He sat up, still a little groggy. 

“Right, give me just a second.” Fitz rubs his eyes, trying to wake up. After he’d collected himself, he got all geared up, ICER’s strapped to his belt. He looks over to Delilah as the hangar doors open.

“Stay here, no matter what. If I don’t come back in 7 hours, go back to the base and tell Coulson.” Fitz tells her.

She nods. “Right, and what are the chances of that happening exactly?”

“Low.” He says before walking off, when he was a few meters away, Delilah closed the doors. This is it. No turning back now. 

He walks towards where he can see the city in the distance. Thinking about it now, he should have taken a motorcycle or something…

After a lot of walking, he finally made it. He sat down at a table at a restaurant, one of the ones that was half-way outside and waited. He definitely should have thought ahead more…

This was very poorly planned. How was he supposed to find Jemma in a city that has hundreds of people? He had no idea what he was doing, all he knew is that he had to find out where she was. He had to find her. And so, he stood up and went into a coffee shop, knowing it was Jemma’s favorite place. He froze in the doorway as he spotted her. The odds of it were… extremely low. But there she was. He would recognize her anywhere. 

He speed-walked over to her and sat down across from her. She looked up from her book, completely and utterly shocked that he was there. She looks around, and calms down. That was weird… she should’ve been way more excited… but Fitz brushed it off.

“Where-Where were you?” Fitz asked. “I kept asking everyone, but they wouldn’t tell me anything. All they would say is you were okay and give me a sad look. What’s going on?” 

Simmons looked at him, a look that Fitz had never seen before in her eyes, but it quickly disappears as soon as she notices that he noticed. “Well, I’ve been on a mission, so that’s probably why they didn’t tell you, because this would have happened.”

“I missed you…”

“Oh Fitz…” She says. “How about I show you what I’ve been doing?” 

He looks up from his hands that had been shaking. They did that a lot lately, he hated it. His hands were supposed to be steady, so he could actually build things. But now… he can’t. “Yeah. Let’s do it.”

Jemma nods and stands up, having already paid for her coffee. Fitz stands up too and follows Jemma out. After a few minutes of walking, they reach a building, like a skyscraper. It was pretty impressive.

“This is where you’re undercover at?” Fitz asks, slightly shocked.

“Yeah.”

They walked in, the place was strangely empty, only a few security guards, it was eerie and he instantly got a bad feeling. This wasn’t going to end well. But he brushed it off, he was with Jemma, they could face it together, just like they always did. They walk towards an elevator and Jemma punches a floor number in. She then goes on her phone and types something, but Fitz couldn’t see what. 

After a minute, the elevator doors slid open, but what was there surprised Fitz. 3 armed guards were waiting, he grabbed an ICER from his belt and shot it at one of them, but missed. He handed one to Simmons, who was strangely calm during all of this. By this time, the guards had rushed forwards and were attacking him, he managed to shoot one of them with an ICER, shove one into a wall, and dislocate a knee. But Simmons still wasn’t doing anything.

When all the guards were laying on the floor, he turned back to Simmons. But a surprising sight awaited him. Simmons was okay, but she was now pointing the ICER at his head.

“You should have listened to Daisy, Leopold.” She said before shooting him, knocking him out cold. 

A few hours later, he woke up in a cell, two guards outside of it. How could Jemma do this… they were supposed to be inseparable. But she betrayed him, she betrayed everyone. Just like Ward… how could she do this to him? And right after he risked his life for her to live. 

He had almost drowned so that she could live, and now look at him. Trapped in a cell after she betrayed him. Just like Ward… The resemblance was uncanny. 

At that moment, Simmons walked into the room and the guards bowed their heads in respect. He could tell she was a lot more confident now. But not in a good way. 

“You. How could you?! I risked my life for you, and you turned me in, to HYDRA of all people. Don’t you remember Ward? Don’t you remember what he did to us?”

There was a cold look in her eyes. One that he had never seen before. This was a different Simmons than he knew. She was a whole new, horrible person. “Of course I remember. That’s why I’m here. I realized that I was done letting people hurt me. And the only way to have that happen, is to hurt them first.” 

“That’s a horrible way to live.”

“A pretty good way not to die, though. I am sorry, Fitz. S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to warn you, you should have listened.” She said, her British accent shining through.

“I can’t believe you. You would join the organization we swore to stop? I-”

“You’re the one who needs to wake up and smell the smoke. The world is ending, we are being thrown into another war. And I'm not going to be on the losing side. You should consider it too, then we can be together again.”

Fitz had to admit, the offer was tempting. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t considering. But he was part of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he couldn't do that to Daisy. She’s lost too much already, with Ward and all. “No, never. I’m not like you. I would never betray my friends for glory.”

His only hope was that Delilah would go back and tell Coulson, and they could get him out of there. Because if it came down to it, he knew he couldn’t pull the trigger on her. She still meant too much to him. 

This has happened too many times… a friend betraying him. First it was Jules, then Ward, and now Simmons, the one person he thought he could count on. Heck, she threw herself off a plane so that he wouldn’t get her “sickness”. But then she threw it all away, for HYDRA of all people. 

“I told you, Fitz. I want to be with you, join me. And we can live forever. In peace, unlike how S.H.I.E.L.D. is, we’d no longer have to constantly fight people. We were children when we first joined, we still are. Please, Fitz. Listen to me. Or else I won’t be able to stop them.”

“From doing what? It’s just a tad bit hard to believe you after you betrayed me and my trust for HYDRA.” 

“They want information. On S.H.I.E.L.D. And I won’t be able to stop them from getting that information unless you join me. Or else they will hurt you. I promise you that. This could go either way.”

Fitz hesitated for a moment, but he knew he couldn’t betray his friends back at the base. Especially Mack and Daisy. “No. They’re going to have to get it out of me. I will never be like you. And I can’t understand why you would want to be like this.”

Simmons sighed. “I gave you a chance. Why must you always be so stubborn,Fitz?” She turns to the guards outside who’d been waiting for her to give them a sign. “Take him.”

“No, no, no, no.”  The guards grab his arms and he desperately tries to plead with Jemma. “Please Jemma, think about what you’re doing. We’re friends. Did that mean nothing to you!? Nothing at all!? JEMMA, PLEASE!” He yells desperately as the guards drag him away until Jemma is out of sight. He’s still fighting, though. He won’t go down without a fight. He won’t break his promise. Ever.

Whilst fighting, he was mentally mapping out the route they were taking- in case S.H.I.E.L.D. didn’t actually come to his rescue. Hopefully that wasn’t the case, though. Or else he was screwed. Why didn’t he just listen to Daisy…?

If he had, none of this would have happened. Oh god, Delilah. She was waiting for him. What if they found her? What then? Hopefully she was okay. She was just a kid. Like he was when he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as an engineer and met Simmons. That seemed like a lifetime ago, when in reality, it had only been a few years. Time flies when you’re about to die.

But he hadn’t yet. That had to count for something. Although, he didn’t know how long that would last. He was trapped in a dungeon, by HYDRA, and had no way of getting out, at least for a few more hours. He had to stall until Coulson and the others arrived. However long that was.

How much time had passed since he had been thrown in here? He had lost track a while ago, at least, that’s what he thought. If only there was some way that he could communicate with Delilah to tell her that he was caught. That's when he remembered… Before he had left the plane he grabbed an emergency button. His invention, of course. It was able to let the person in the quinjet know that he was in trouble. Thank god for his wonderful mind, however messed up it might be right now.

He pressed it, hopefully Delilah will understand what it means and fly back to the base to tell Coulson. And hopefully it was soon.

He didn’t know how long he had before somebody came in and tried to get information out of him. Preferably a long time. However, his hopes were crushed.

Of course, he jinxed it. A girl with long, brown hair walked in. She had this… confidence to her. He could tell that she was one of the most powerful people here, hopefully that didn’t mean what he thought it meant for him.

But, something was there that was different to all the other HYDRA agents, but Fitz couldn’t tell what it was. It bothered him. A lot.

He had to admit, this girl scared him. He could tell that she was a no-nonsense type of person. Those seemed pretty plentiful around here. But, back to what happened. When she walked in, his stomach dropped. Oh gosh, this was going to be painful. 

She walked over to a table by the side. “So, Leopold Fitz. You’re an Agent of SHIELD, correct?”

He nods, his throat dry. Come on, Fitz. You’ve gone through worse. Just stall for as much time as you can. That’s all you have to do.

She looks over at him, seeing him nod. “Right. And what are SHIELD’s plans in the future?”

“Can you be more specific?” Fitz was second-guessing his choice to stall for time. This woman scared him.

She stares at him, trying to decide whether he’s serious or not. “SHIELD has been infiltrating our operations. We want to know why.” 

“Really? Of course we are. If I remember correctly, you guys did the same thing not even a year ago.”

“Answer the question, Leopold.” 

“Fine.” He had to think of something quickly. Then, he had an idea. “We… are in the process of making a giant weapon, one that can instantly be able to tell who's HYDRA. So you won’t be able to infiltrate us again. Happy?” 

Obviously this wasn’t the truth, but hopefully, he had lied well enough so that the lady wouldn’t find it too suspicious.

She looked at him for about half of the minute, studying all of his micro-expressions intently. She would be hard to fool.

But, she surprised him and nodded. “Great. Thank you for your cooperation.” 

He couldn’t believe that worked. He was a horrible liar, but somehow she believed him. Or maybe it was a trick. Either way, he made it past. And he wasn’t dead yet. So that was good. The lady apparently got all the information he wanted, considering she left right after.

He decided he might as well take a nap. He had a feeling it was going to be a long few hour So, he laid down on the dirty floor, head on his arm and tried to sleep. Eventually, he was able to, but only after at least an hour.

He had to hold out hope that Coulson and the team would come for him. 

After about 3 hours, he woke up. There was rattling coming from outside the cell door. Maybe it was Daisy or May unlocking the door, or picking the lock.

But his hopes were soon diminished as Simmons walked in. As soon as he saw her, he looked away. He couldn’t look in her eyes, not after everything she’d done. 

“What? Come to gloat?” He asked bitterly.

“No, not at all. The agent that was formerly sent in here thought that you were lying. It’s my job to figure out whether or not she was right.” She looks at the gun in her hand, which was anything but an ICER. “No matter what.”

“You really think you can shoot me? After everything we went through together?” Part of him wanted to believe that she wouldn’t, but the other half knows better. He was done trusting people blindly.

“I can. And I will. As soon as you say something that I don’t believe. You forget, I know you better than anyone. I know when you’re lying.”

“Then you should also know that I don’t betray my friends.” (If I had a nickel for every time one of my best friends betrayed me for an enemy organization, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.) 

“I didn’t betray you, I was true to myself. Sometimes, that's what you have to do.”

“Not if that includes becoming a terrorist. You need to work on your moral code a bit.”

“I’m not a terrorist, Fitz.”

“Sure sounds like you are.”

“Enough small talk, What are you really planning?”

Just then, Simmons' radio in her other hand went off. She put it up to her mouth. “What’s going on?”

“The base has been infiltrated by a small SHIELD team.” Came the staticky response.

She turned towards him so rapidly he was convinced she would get whiplash. “What did you do?”

“I did what I had to. You forget that I’m one of SHIELD’s best engineers.”

She sighs. “I didn’t want to do this, but you’ve left me no choice.” She raises the gun, pointing directly at his chest.

He couldn’t believe this was happening. The SHIELD team was here. Delilah made it back. But now… Simmons was about to shoot him.

“Jemma… I’m your friend.”

“Not anymore.” 

The next few seconds seemed to happen in slow motion.

…

He could see her pull the trigger, but didn’t feel the pain of the bullet until a few seconds later. After Simmons confirmed it hit him, she rushed out.

He dropped to his knees, blood spilling from his stomach. He had to hold on… for Daisy. He moved his hand towards the wound to put some pressure on it, trying to slow the bleeding. His thoughts were fuzzy, all he could think of was the pain. His vision blurs. This couldn’t be how he died. He couldn’t die. Not yet.

He had to wait. They’d find him. They had to. 

It felt like forever, but then, somebody kicked down the door. He could barely see someone rush towards him. They whispered something to him, but it was unintelligible. The person picked him up, bridal style and carried him out. He couldn't focus. He could hear alarms going off in the distance, guns firing, people fighting, but he barely registered any of it. He was trying to stay awake, he really was. But it was so hard… he just wanted to close his eyes, to finally rest.

But he knew he couldn’t. He had to stay awake. For Daisy. For Coulson. For Mack. For May. For Delilah.

But every second he felt more faint. He could tell that they made it back to the plane, seeing the black interior. He could feel himself being placed on a medical bed, and yelling. Bright lights shone on him, making it impossible for him to tell what was happening. He could feel himself lose consciousness. 

Daisy couldn’t believe it. Fitz was shot. Because of her. It was her fault. If she had just made sure that he never went to find Simmons, none of this would have happened.

As she looks at him through the clear glass wall, she feels a hand on her shoulder. It was Coulson. The closest thing she had to a father.

“He’s going to be okay, Sky-I mean Daisy. Sorry, still getting used to it.” He smiles, even though it was strained. He was obviously just as worried as she was.

“He doesn’t deserve this… He’s lost too much.” She protested, she could feel her eyes start to fill with tears. Oh god… this was horrible.

She knew how it felt to be shot, and it doesn’t feel very good. At all. And let alone by someone you trusted…

A part of her was glad he was unconscious, she didn’t think she could bear to see him heartbroken. He was like a brother to her. Everyone at SHIELD felt like family to her. She didn’t know how else to explain it. They had given her a home, a reason to be a better person. 

And the recruit, Delilah, was still pretty shaken up. What was Fitz thinking? Taking a trainee with barely enough training into a trap. Of course, Fitz didn’t really know that it was a trap then because she didn’t tell him that Simmons was HYDRA…

It all barely makes any sense. But when does something ever make sense? For example, she might be an alien and her parents were apparently monsters that killed a lot of people. Some stuff just doesn’t make sense.

This just proved even more that Fitz and her were a lot alike. They both don’t really like where they came from (AKA their parents) and both of their crushes turned out to work for an enemy terrorist organization. The parallels were insane.

“Come on Fitz…” She whispered. “Now’s no time to die.”

I have been gone for a Long Time but had a very long car journey today and read back through my blog…

I am an Adult now and doing a Degree but what the heck I used to be so funny????

Like why am I reading through my old thoughts and genuinely laughing at myself 🫠

[agentoffangirling]

Something I've just realized about AoS is that they don't have a lot of heroic deaths. Or at least, with our mcs staying dead

Bc when you look at the list of deaths in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., majority of them are villains, with a few notable heroes (Lincoln, Trip, Victoria, etc). And with the exception of Ward, people in the main team who did die did not remain dead for very long (Fitz, Coulson, Daisy, May)

What did happen to them, however, are cases that could be on par or even worse than death. After Ward dropped FitzSimmons in the ocean and Fitz got a brain injury, I'm quite confident he would've wished he was dead instead. Daisy had a whole season where she was begging to die after Lincoln's death. Mack literally preferred staying with his daughter in the Framework, even though she wasn't real, even though it would spell his death

These sorts of situations remind me a lot of what happens to the Doctor's companions (Doctor Who). Majority of them don't die, they just get stuck in awful places that are usually worse than death

Rose got stuck in a whole different dimension, Donna got all her memories wiped, Bill got turned into a Cyberman, Amy and Rory were forced back in time, you see what I mean

Yeah idk how to end this, I just thought this was interesting enough to point out

[backgroundagent3]

For the character asks, Lance Hunter

Thanks for the ask! 💙

First impression: Loved him. I think I found him a little bit annoying, but in a good way, of course.

Impression now: I somehow love him even more. I still can't believe the writers just wrote him and Bobbi out because they were such great characters. He deserved to stay even just for comedic relief, because God knows the team needed a laugh sometimes, and so did we.

Favorite moment: When he shows up in prison to "talk to his client" in season 5. That was so iconic because not only was it a great entrance, but also such a relief to see a familiar face in that situation, especially if said familiar face has a hilarious dynamic with Fitz. That was obviously written for the fans, so I have no complaints. Honourable mentions to when he punches the guy from the ATCU without so much as a second thought, when he rants about Bobbi in 2.04 pretending he's not in love with her, and when he goes undercover as an obnoxious IT guy.

Idea for a story: This is not my idea, but I need to know what happened when he and Bobbi almost got married again between seasons 3 and 5. What do you mean "the ninjas showed up"? This had so much potential, but I think the fact that he never explained makes it funnier. Is it a weird metaphor for something? Did some ninjas actually attack them right before the wedding? Are the ninjas some friends who didn't think they should get married? We'll never know.

Unpopular opinion: I've seen somewhere that Most Wanted was a bad idea from the start, and I'm here to tell you that's wrong. I think it's a tragedy that it got cancelled, because can you imagine the potential? A spinoff of the best show on Earth? Our favourite problematic spy couple on the run breaking the law and causing problems? How is that a bad idea. Even if the script was bad and the plot was bad and everything was bad, it's still extra screentime for two awesome characters. If nothing else, we all know he would have had hilarious one liners, and I would have loved to watch it.

Favorite relationship: Huntingbird. Yes, I know he and Bobbi had a LOT of issues, but that just makes it funnier. Their bickering was on point, and the way he so was so obviously down bad for her the minute the words "demonic hell beast" left his mouth is so pathetic and hilarious. On a more serious note, the way they worked together as agents was great. While they may not have always trusted each other, they always had faith in the other's capabilities to do a good job in the field and stay alive ("Don't die our there"). They worried, sure, but they didn't try to keep the other out of danger Fitzsimmons style because they knew they could handle things, and for the most dysfunctional relationship of the show, that was pretty healthy. As for platonic relationship, Fitz. All they had in common was the fact that they were sassy Brits with serious relationship issues, and that was somehow enough to form a great dynamic. I loved all their little moments in 2.04, especially when Fitz talked about his crush on Jemma in the weirdest, most uncomfortable, and out of context way, and Hunter just went along with it and comforted him.

Favorite headcanon: At some point watching season 6 I decided it was stupid that they hadn't returned to SHIELD, so in my head they did. It just didn't make sense that they still had to live a life on the run when SHIELD was a legitimate organisation again, especially when the new director was their best friend who could have pulled some strings to have them there. It would have been so cool to see them again, not to mention it would have been very helpful for the team. And can you imagine Hunter's reaction at seeing Sarge? If anyone could have added some levity to the situation, I know it's him.

Writing this made me remember how much I love and miss him. Please send me more!

Character Asks.

Definitely darker in this one, literally a guy got ripped apart in human tug of war so um. Ties in the rest of the books really well, huge lore stuff happening, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens next game!!!

Overall way better than the FNAF books and I think Adrienne Kress really stepped up here and shined as a writer and I can’t wait to read more! 

Really disappointed Alice didn’t make an appearance but I guess I can’t have everything.

Adrienne Kress make me a Alice Angel book RIGHT NOW 😩😩😩🙌🙌🙌🙌

Disproportionate Retribution Poll Round 1 Side A:

Original William James Moriarty's (Moriarty the Patriot) Disproportionate Retribution:

"Kind of an asshole rich kid, son of nobility, physically abusive towards the staff in his house and generally anyone he sees as "low status" (particular affinity for stabbing people in the hand with forks). He also tried to get his adoptive orphan siblings kicked out of the house by framing them for stealing. He's like, maybe 13-16 years old at most?

After maybe half an episode of screen time, he's murdered by his own older brother (impaled with a wooden stake broken off from a chair) and then left to be burned alive in a fire. He is specifically left to die slowly and painfully in the fire so that traces of ash and smoke would be found in his lungs during any police investigation.

One of these two orphan boys then steals his name and identity (hence the very important "original" in the submission name), and no one ever misses him or knows he was gone. He's never buried or mourned, and no one even knows that he died in the first place. To me, the most tragic thing is that he never got a chance to grow. He died a mean, violent person because that's how he was raised— and he was killed as a child, before he could even deign to disobey or go against the grain of his parentage. He never got to learn or think or be his own authentic self, because the circumstances of his childhood led him to his brutal karmic death before he even had the opportunity to decide whether or not to try and better himself. He just makes me very sad, and yeah, I get it, a little bit of retribution could have been nice, but.... the level to which his entire memory and identity was erased after leaving him to die a slow and painful death was just too much for me."

Millie Fitzsimmons' (FNaF: Fazbear Frights) Disproportionate Retribution:

"Millie is a 14 year old goth girl and a bit of a jerk. This is because her parents are mocked around town because they always abandon what they start. Now, they left the US to start another one while she stays at her grandfather's house. She gets a crush on a boy who she thinks is into her but finds out he isn't, getting her heart broken. So, she is rude on Christmas and hides from her family inside an animatronic designed to kill (she didn't know that)

She gets decapitated in the end. That's a bit much for that, don't you think?"

[tessathenerd]

Fitzsimmons entire relationship recap to showcase just how crazy their storyline was.

Okay so, beginning season one, these two, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, have been friend for forever, both really smart scientists and they join a team of agents, because they work for shield. So they are doing their thing for a while slaying the day with these missions, when suddenly, omg simmons is sick, she touched some guy and if she does not do anything about it she is going to explode and take their entire plane, because their base is a plane, with her. Fitz and her are in the lab trying to find a cure, but it isnt working so she smashes him in the head and locks him in the lab, from the lab he can see the hanger door opening as she stands there and jumps out so the explosion would not take the plane with her. So Fitz is understandably freaking out, he is like omg my best friend and secret crush just jumped out of a plane what the fuck do I do, that is when he notices, the antidote did work, but now Simmons has already jumped. So he grabs a backpack parachute thing and is about to go save her when Ward shows up and saves her instead. 

She lives and they go some more episodes, when oh my god shield has been taken over by hydra and their friend ward is one of them. They go to escape but end up in the containment pod, when Ward opens the hanger doors and chucks them into the ocean. Down there they only have a little bit of oxegyn, so they have a cute convo about what death will be like, because at this point the two of them have accepted, like we are going to die here. That is when they suddenly come up with a plan to break the pod mirror and use the oxegyn mask to get enough air to reach the surface. But here is the twist! They only have one mask! She does not want to go without him but he keeps persisting she should take it, so she says “Why would you do this to me you are my best friend in the world!” and he replies “Yeah and you are more than that Jemma.” Basically confessing his love for her. Now she does not even have time to process this new information as he presses the button opening the door and water is rushes in. She takes the oxegyn mask and drags him up, they get found my a helicopter. Season 1 ends.

Now season 2, Jemma is gone, she is undercover at hydra, but because Fitz was in a coma for 9 days after the incident and he suffered serious brain damage, he keeps seeing a version of her kind of as his concious almost. Anyways, she returns and it is just angst between them. She still thinks of him as a friend, and he blames her for just leaving him when he really needed her. She will be running the lab at their new base, and he says he will go work somewhere else. Then in the next mission it turns out they still are a really good team just like before, angst is gone a bit. Fitz keeps getting better and eventually has to go on a mission with the rest to go fight bad guys, just as he is about to leave, Jemma looks at my other favorite ship from the show, huntingbird, and realises “Wait maybe I do love him”. So she goes to visit him as he is packing up his stuff and she is like “Hey Fitz, we never really spoke about what you sai to me at the bottom of the ocean.” Fitz is all suprised because she never braught this up before and that is also a bit of a bad moment to do this, so he says “You want to do this now?” And follows that up with saying that there is nothing to discuss. He is about to walk out as she grabs his hand and says “Maybe there is.” He is absolutaly stunned, not prepared for this at all as he looks at her, but then immediatly gets called to the plane to leave. Leaving Jemma crying alone in the locker room. He returns, asks her out to dinner as they are standing by this rock that can turn into liquid, he leans on it trying to be cool, she says yes but as he leans he accidentaly opened the door of the liquid rock, so she walks across the room to put some stuff away, and gets gobbled up by the rock, the rock turns solid again and the season 2 credits roll.

Now season 3, it has been six months and we first see Fitz in morocco, he has tracked down every lead there is on what that rock could have possibly done to Simmons, and in the meantime has gotten really cool, quite the transformation. So he is in this bad place and does a carchase and it truely is a 180 of the fitz we saw before. After doing so much to get this scroll that is supposed to tell him what happened to Simmons, the scroll is just one hebrew word, death. So he loses it and busts open where the rock is being held and screams at it to ‘do something’ with truely spinechilling acting from the amazing Iain de Caestecker. He gets pulled away, but as he does he notices, sand. Sand which predates the world by a bilion years. So he is like ‘omg a portal’. So they contact this guy who brings them to this castle, which has a special room to activate the portal. They do one time and shoot a lightflare through. Then the machine breaks, they manage to do it again, this time wanting to send a probe lense through, but Fitz is like ‘nah fuck that’ and jumpes through himself. On the other side he is screaming for Jemma and manages to find her and grab her hand, every tense moment. Then the rock explodes, because it did I guess. And for a moment it look like Fitz came back alone as he lies on the pile of small rocks, but no under there is Simmons too and they are together again. Simmons has to adjust to normal life, he takes her to a restaurant and she cries when she sees wine, but we do not hear what happens to her, we only see that she wants to open up the portal again. Fitz is understandably confused by this, but then she finally tells him what happened.

Jemma was alone on that planet for 4,722 hours, or around 6 months. The first months were hard recording things on her phone for Fitz and constantly talking to ‘him’. Then she falls thorugh a hole and meets another human. His name is Will, he got sacrificed in a ritual to the demonic entity also living on that planet they are both trying to avoid, and now they are the only two stuck there. She does calculations to preedict where the portal is going to open, using the last of her phones battery, they try to send a message in a bottle, but it fails and she loses all hope of ever getting back. That is when she kisses Will and they get together. Now she calculates some things to see the sunrise, because the sun usually does not appear on this planet, so they go sit romantically together, when she sees a lightflare. The one Fitz send. So she goes there with Will, but sees the demonic entity and is like “Will it is one of yours”. Will knows it is the demonic entity and sends her to Fitz to go fight it. He does not come with her through the portal and that is why she wants to open it back up again.

During research they are alone in a lab and arguing. When Fitz just cannot take it anymore, he presses her up against a desk and kisses her, she kisses him back. He says “We are cursed”, as she just before they kissed admitted that she does love Will too, but Fitz literally dove through a hole in the universe for her and so it is all a bit complicated. Now Hydra also wants to open up the portal to free the entity, so they do and whilst she is kept on earth. Fitz goes through to get Will, but it is not actually Will, because Will died saving Jemma. They all make it back, and Jemma is obviously dissapointed and cries in his arms. A couple episodes go by, they hold hands in the ashes because she asked him if they could take things slow. But then when they are researching sitting on the floor leaning against one of their beds, she lays her head on his shoulder and slowly moves so they kiss again. He realises after a bit that she asked to take things slow so pulls away, but she assures him that it is okay, he teases her for a bit and they kiss again. 

Next episode they go be a powercouple trying to find a scientist together, whilst he is nervous about sleeping with her because if things go wrong then he thinks they cannot ever go back to being just friends. But they do sleep together at the end of this episode so all is well and he was nervous but got through it. They remain a very cute couple going into season 4.

Season 4 starts and everything has changed, new director and Jemma is basically running the place now. She has daily lie detector tests and so when he helps a mad scientist build a crazy robot, he cannot tell her at first but finally does. The start of this season also mentiones that they are looking to live somewhere together, which is just the absolute cutest thing. Thir robot he helped created reads the darkhold, and this is where things just get wild. Because when this robot reads the darkhold it makes an evil alternate reality where everybodys biggest regret is erased and it just ends up this absolute hellscape. She (robot) traps everybody in this reality, ereases their memories from what actually reality is, so they just believe this is the truth, and she replaces their real versions of them with decoy robots. Fitzsimmons are the only two left they believe, until they pass a door with a detector of one of these decoys. One of them is a decoy. But they both do not know who it is. 

Simmons believes she is not the decoy and says that.

“It’s not me Jemma”

“Well it’s one of us!”

Heartbreaking moment truely. So she stabs Fitz in the wrist, which would have killed him if he was not the decoy, she gets shocked because there is blood coming out, but then turns out she did kill the decoy Fitz. Now she goes into this world, retaining her memories, but turns out, Fitz his biggest regret was not staying with his father, which has now made him the hydra overlord, dating madame hydra, this realitys version of the robot he created. He does not remember Jemma and as they are trying to get out of this world he shoots her in the kneecap. “And you mean nothing to me.” But they do get back. The thing about the framework is that they retain that alternate version of them, with all the memories, like having lived a completely different life. He has struggled with schizofrenia before and now even more so, hearing he doctor in all he does. He cries, Jemma cries and the entire team goes for pancakes.

That is when everybody but Fitz gets teleported to the future and the season 4 credits roll.

Now Fitz gets arrested, because the team was still fugetives and going out for pancakes was perhaps not the smartest thing they could have done. He spends six months in prison, gets rescued and freezes himself to also end up in the future. Remember this because it will be very important. Now in the future the earth has been split apart and everybody lives in space ruled by aliens. Simmons has now been made a slave by one of these said aliens, and her hearing was turned of when he finally got to her and proposed to her. Fitz asks to buy Jemma, but the master does not agree and at the end of the episode they escape, she can hear again and this time proposes to him, to which he awnsers “absolutaly”. They get married in a beautiful forest surrounded by all their friends and it is truelly magical. They struggle some more after that though, because the powers of one of their friends got turned of, but they need to be turned back on. Now Fitz is still scizofrenic and his alternate universe bad guy self operates on one of their best friend, ending with him in a cell but this time put in there by his friend. It is simulatiously a weird guy they met in space and accidentally came with them confesses to Jemma that he is in fact their grandson, which she combats by, no joke, throwing up. 

Fitz can go on missions again because since Jemma thought since she has not had a daughet yet and the future cannot be changed and their grandson, Deke, exists, she gets him out by playing a trick on their other guard friend, basically acting like she drunk poison, without warning Fitz first. But they got him out so it was all fine. Now there is a hefty season finally fight, were the building where Fitz is in gets crushed, he gets impaled by a plate. He thinks just his legs are broken but then he goes ahead and dies. Season 5 ends.

Season 6, Jemma is certain of the fact that Fitz is still out there, because he froze himself the frozen version of him must still be out there. Sis cut herself some depression bangs and end up accidentally high in a club where he is too, because his freezing thingie broke and is looking for money to replace it, together with his not quite android friend, a chronicom called Enoch. So they are both in that club, but just as they see oneanother and reunite, they get stolen by evil chronicoms and put in another mind place room. The room is basically controlled by there minds and it is here they have their reuinion. They manage to get out by imagening their friends to come help them and powercouple their way to the finally, in which they invent timetravel to sace all their friends. Season 6 is half the episodes of previous seasons, so this is the end of that. 

Season 7, they are timetravelling non stop, exept Fitz is away somewhere, Jemma does not even know where because she has something in her brain prohibiting her from accessing the memories. They timetravel a lot and when her memory inhibitor thing gets removed, she does not remember anything. Fitz? Who is Fitz? But then suddenly, she remembers everything, even them taking five years away before they actually timetravelled back. And it turns out they had a kid! They names her Alya and moved away for a bit before going back in. Fitz takes everybody back to the original timeline, and th next time we see them it has been a year. A year of living in the cottage she deemed ‘so lovely’ when she was a little girl and just caring for Alya with Fitz. He really thrives in being a dad and we see them having a picknick in the garden whilst Fitz is playing with Alya. The two of them finally got their happily ever after. It makes me cry everytime.

hi geo! for the ask game, top 10 agents of shield episodes?

hi hi hi omgggg i am so excited and glad that you asked this!!! apologies for responding so late btw; i’m currently visiting canada so i’ve been fairly busy with my family. but i have down time rn and i’ve been thinking about my answers a bit over the last couple of days, so here they are!

also disclaimer: i’m soooo bad at picking favorite episodes because in all honesty plot lines blend together for me and sometimes i forget which specific episodes stand out to me especially since it’s been over a year since i’ve rewatched this show (i need to do it again soon i know) so a lot of this is based off the episodes i find myself returning to over and over and over again

1x06 - FZZT: this episode……this episode!!!! i contemplated for a while whether this deserved the top spot and honestly idk why i was doubting it before. a lot of people say you just have to make it to the end of the season with the whole hydra reveal to get hooked on aos but this is the episode that got me. plus it’s such an important early fitzsimmons episode and you know how much i love them!! very quotable i can rattle off half their conversations i’m agent grant ward and i can shoot the legs off a flee from 500 yards as long as it’s not windy etc etc etc

4x15 - self control: ummmm single-handedly gave me trust issues and the ability to toss flip stab on cue with lmd fitz (also that skimmons hug is to die for)

6x06 - inescapable: to no one’s surprise, another fitzsimmons episode makes the top three! this one is just so rewatchable i’ve seen it so many times there is so much to unpack

1x17 - turn, turn, turn: i don’t feel like i have to speak on this much because lives were changed all around

7x09 - as i have always been: time loop!!!! and craziness!!!! and enoch????????? </3

5x05 - rewind: apologies i’m just obsessed with fitz so

7x13 - what we’re fighting for: who would i be if i didn’t put this masterpiece of a series finale on the list like let shows end on their own terms all the time so that they can have as spectacular of a conclusion as agents of shield

3x10 - maveth: when i saw that skeleton leg poking out of you know who’s pants i was just 😧😧😧 and also everybody cheer because ward’s chest got crushed in!!!!

5x22 - the end: as painful as this episode is, it’s also just very good and s5 is my favorite season so

5x04 - a life earned: am i putting this on the list just because of fitz??? no i would never 👀
