This ended up being more of a #mood thing than using the actual sentence, hope you enjoy it, anon!

Everyone and their mother has told her that she will grow bored of this.

(Some has even gone as far as to say “terrified” instead of “bored”. They didn’t feel like speaking much after the looks she sent their way at that choice of words.)

So far, they all have been wrong, because moving out of base has been a great choice. Sure, she is not there on the blink of an eye for an emergency anymore, but that is even a bonus, because she is not really good at putting limits on herself for that kind of stuff, and better have the distance do that for her. Better help them grow out of her immediate need for her.  

Being a little detached from things also helps her gain some perspective, although she is not planning on telling the rest of her team that.

Mostly, she is grateful that this way she can have respected her own times and her own spaces. Sure, Fitz owns a key and more often than not he and Daisy would drop uninvited with beers and video games. Sometimes it’s Bobbi with a bottle of vodka. Sometimes it’s Coulson with steaks and salad.

Sometimes it’s even May and a bag of fresh tea.

But on the regular, she can get up as early as she wants, get her first cup of tea of the day going and just… stare out of her window. Watch the world stretching its limbs, getting rid of the numbness, opening its eyes lazily. Watch the sunrise, always. Watch people coming home from working all night with the first ray of sunshine on their shoulders. Watch unlucky kids having to wake up ungodly early to go to school.

To remember that even though she thought she had met Death- and there are still days when she is not fully convinced otherwise- the world didn’t stop spinning because she was gone. And maybe for some people having that knowledge would be devastating.

[AO3] [G, Skimmons, ~300w, chapter 2/4]

Summary:  A small collection of canon-divergent drabbles where Skye and Simmons get together. This chapter: Seeds

Sneak-Peak:

“Whew, not quite.” She makes a pause, licks her lips. She never intended for this conversation to go this far, but Skye has asked, and Jemma should reply with the truth, especially since it also can help with some other desires that have been spinning around in her mind. It’s quite fitting, honestly. “Let’s just say that maybe I wasn’t so interested in drawing attention from the

[AO3] ~1.5k - Piper&Simmons {Fitzskimmons; Pipsy}

Summary: Piper wants to ask Daisy out, but first she needs to find out if the terms of Daisy's other relationships allow for it. Jemma assures her that they do, and they both talk Daisy and polyamory.

Sneak-Peak:

“It is safe to assume that you are asking because you are interested in Daisy in some romantic and/or sexual capacity?”

Piper can’t contain a grimace at her words, and oh, well, both Fitz and Daisy always tell her that her colloquial chit-chat needs work, that she is too stilted and too unnecessary blunt, but Jemma stands true to her belief that it helps her be honest and righteous.

“Look, I have not talked this over with her yet, okay? So I rather this topic isn’t in everybody’s mouth by the end of the afternoon, you get me?”

There is a dissonance almost painful between Piper’s current brusqueness and the courtesy she was using before due to the topic or Jemma’s higher rank, but Jemma is glad that Piper is feeling comfortable enough to do the shift; talking this as equals will make things easier for both of them.
