5 fanfictions you enjoy

“drive time” by @ddagent  

Former CIA Agent Melinda May is having trouble adjusting to the real world. But she finds help in the form of radio DJ Phil Coulson.

“he lied about death”  by  @paperclipbitch

She doesn’t say don’t, because May will take every single punch you want to land on her and then a few more that you can’t land because your hands are broken from the strain. - Grief, and other aphrodisiacs.

“the storm in his wake” by @daisyqiaolianmay

Even good men, and Rosalind truly believed Phil to be a good man, could have terrible secrets… and S.H.I.E.L.D, they’d kept enough terrible secrets from the world already. She just wasn't expecting this one.

“ i never know” by @axolotl7 

A fic set at the beginning of series three - May returns but not everything can be forgiven with a simple apology on either side.

“handkerchief” by @ussjellyfish 

May rushes in to grab Fitz, Phil deals with the consequences and the team helps. It's what they do.

5 headcanons that you have

phil’s crush began when they met their first day in hand to hand combat but knew for sure he would marry her when he saw may and her supervising officer (peggy carter!) together training in an empty classroom at the academy

phil and may’s rivalry ended when may graduated valedictorian at the academy, but Phil wrote her speech

phil told audrey that his partner died during a mission after may transferred to administration because had no way to explain the overwhelming guilt and sorrow he was dealing with

phil’s mom loves, I mean loves, may after they met on her first visit to DC

phil is the only one may told about the baby she miscarried in the tiny military hospital post-mission in bahrain
