#maywidow

me planning this rec: well lou probably isn’t going to read it, and she only said “fluff,” so I can basically rec whatever I want, right? no biggie? 

also me: *goes and searches specifically for short-ish and very sweet femslash fics with May ships because I know there’s a reasonably good chance of Lou liking those*

Ah, Lou, whether you end up reading these or not, I hope you at least get a small smile from all of this 🥺💜 Love you loads!

And now with no further ado - the recs. 

Baking Cookies by @shieldivarius - my searches for a fic you definitely haven’t read yet took me down some interesting avenues (and through the years too, LMAO) but the first thing I found and liked was this! I never even dreamed that May/Natasha would be a thing, but apparently it is, and apparently they... bake cookies? 🤣🤣😍 This one is short, sweet and pretty darn great, even if it is pretty old by fic standards. And it makes May/Natasha - Maywidow? - work so well, too, it’s really pretty awesome. I’d 100% recommend this author’s other fics for this pairing, as well!

Pink hearts are stupid (and mine is too) by @creedoftheseamstress - another rarepair for you, Lou my love! This one is May/Hill, and it’s set in a high school AU on Valentine’s day (featuring a delightful dislike of the holiday on May’s part.) It’s super sweet and fluffy, and again not too long, and I just love it so much for a ship I’ve never read before, it’s really pretty amazing xD

fun and games by @bobbimorseisbisexual - here we have two of the most badass and beautiful SHIELD ladies together, and even more badass and beautiful (with a healthy dose of hilarious, awkward and absolutely FAB.) That’s right, I’m talking about Maybobbi, and a prank war fic - and, since it’s written by the legend that is Al, it’s guaranteed to be completely fantastic. And it is exactly that.

a soft epilogue by @loved-the-stars-too-fondly - I have three words for you, and they are, Maybobbi being mothers. Specifically: Maybobbi being mothers to Robin Hinton, and an absolutely ADORABLE little OC!! 😍 This is just the softest, most ADORABLE thing, and I was grinning like an idiot right through. Super fluffy, lovely stuff, and SO well written!! Aubrey is truly a gem 💜

Carry Me ‘Til You Marry Me by circ_bamboo on AO3 - okay, this one doesn’t exactly fall under the “short and sweet” category, given that it is... *coughs* 13k words long. But, Lou. Lou. When I read its summary, I knew instantly that it just had to be on this list - because, AHHHHH, it’s the SHIELD team getting beamed up by some nice, friendly aliens, who, after seeing May and Bobbi spar, and hear that they’re not married, are so shocked that they decide to remedy the situation immediately. Which is to say: May and Bobbi get married by the resident Nice Aliens™. And, okay, maybe these aliens aren’t quite as incredible as Aza (honestly, who can be, though) but they’re still pretty cool, and this story is bloody AMAZING. I didn’t know I needed it, but I totally did, and I am STILL grinning!! Just... fantastic stuff, and I can’t recommend it enough, for anyone. But especially you, Lou - I really think you’ll love this. 💜😍
