Does anyone even write for AoS anymore??

Now I’m just reading fanfic for WardSimmons and watching youtube videos. I don’t know how it became a ship for me but it did. I had so many lovely writing partners and I miss them.

LOOK HOW FUCKING TALL THIS MAN IS.

She is so smol!

It’s been ages since I’ve written much of anything, but somehow I managed to pull this imperfect little fic out of my brain and somewhat onto a page.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jemma Simmons/Grant Ward Characters: Grant Ward, Jemma Simmons, Original Characters, Leo Fitz, Phil Coulson Additional Tags: Season/Series 03, Sex, Just Married, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence Summary: The first week of Grant’s marriage is an eventful one.

“You don’t remember?” he asks, all innocence. On his crooked finger, the ring glints in the sun.

One of Jemma’s eyes emerges from the sheets. “No.” Her tone makes it clear she’s protesting her intact memories, not indicating her lack of them.

“Oh, yes. You are now Mrs. Grant Ward.”

I do, occasionally! This is set in a season 1 scenario in which Ward and Jemma are conveniently sleeping in some motel while waiting to rendez-vouz with the rest of the team. Enjoy!

36. “This is embarrassing but I had a bad dream and back home when this happens I normally just crawl into bed with my mom or sister but since they’re not here anymore can I sleep with you?” 

Jemma’s cheeks are burning so much that it’s a wonderthey aren’t glowing in the dark. She sits on the edge of the bed, staring atthe sleeping figure a few feet away from her – in the closest bed to the doorand window, because Ward insisted – and trying to gather enough courage tospeak up.

As it turns out, she doesn’t need to: her staring doesthe job all on its own, and soon enough Ward is turning towards her,undoubtedly already awake and alert, judging by his hand immediately reachingfor his gun under the pillow.

(Though she’s still shaken and on the verge of tears,that does offer a bit of a consolation.)

“Simmons?” he calls out, a little confused, probablynoticing that there is nothing amiss and no one is shooting at them.

(Not anymore, at least. The experience is terrifyingenough that every time Jemma is almost willing to admit to Fitz that maybegetting on a field team was not the best idea she ever had.)

“I’m sorry, I —” She swallows, trying to gather thewill to finish what she started. She knows that he can be kind and helpful, ifa little awkward, she remembers how he soothed her after her disastrous firstexperience with skydiving, maybe he will help — her cheeks burn up somemore. “This is embarrassing —”

“What is it?” he prompts, up on his elbow, his handslowly emerging from under the pillow. She’s glad she can’t make out his face.

“I, well, I’ve just had a rude awakening —” Which onlymeans that she was terrified by a nightmare, like a little girl. “And Idon’t think I can drift back to sleep on my own, and obviously I would normallygo to Skye for this, but —”

“Simmons,” he interrupts, curtly, maybe sounding alittle annoyed too.

She swallows, taking a small breath. “…Yes?”

“Just get in here, alright?”

Horror movies + The Bus + Bus pranks = hilarity and loads of fun.

1.  May just casually saunters out of the hotel room, not even caring about Ward and his staggered timelines. Like, “my sleeping with you won’t affect my job so who cares who knows” kind of thing. Totally a May thing and a wonderful character… strengthener. (That’s not the word I want, but my brain is fried. Don’t @ me.)

2. Coulson debriefing Daisy all by her lonesome and then talking about how to approach a powered human and how to handle it when Daisy will have to go through it. Not that Daisy’s transition went really well, but…

3. “This is a delicate situation and you’re bringing along ‘warm’ and ‘fuzzy’?” Meaning Ward, and May if truth were known. But, let’s be real, he’s doing it to protect Daisy. You know he is. He doesn’t want her to get hurt.

4. “You’re late.” Cue Ward looking like a hurt puppy which is totally weird on him, just saying.

5. Daisy jumping into action like a great little SHIELD agent. I love her so much.

6. “Is this real?” Yes, but also no. Not quite like that.

7. “I didn’t go to your SHIELD Hogwarts.” Ha. I mean, accurate, but ha.

8. Okay, full disclaimer: God does not punish anyone. Let that be known. He is a God of love. Okay, moving on.

9. I NEVER SAW THAT DUDE BEFORE!! Whut?

10. Ward stops cracking pepper over the “she needs to get laid” comment. That’s the greatest thing ever.

11. I shipped so many different iterations of Ward and other people, but I do think MayWard was the best for multiple different reasons.

12. I don’t remember this episode at all. Is that weird? That’s totally weird, right?

13. Daisy is such an empathetic character. It’s so beautiful. She’s strong in her empathy and it isn’t a weakness. It’s such a gift.

14. This horror movie vibe fits this show in a way I can’t explain. I think I vaguely remember thinking this was the best episode of the season so far. Which is weird because I can’t remember it.

15. Daisy realizing Coulson was with May in Bahrain and then hearing the story from Coulson’s lips is a heart wrenching moment.

16. “Did she lose anyone in there?” “Herself.” This story is such a parallel with what Coulson is going through right now. I never realized it, but in hindsight, it’s great.

17. Coulson and his love of old stuff. And the way he holds his hands under his arms. So adorable. I love him.

18. “Let the girl go.” May. Coulson. My baby team. I can’t with these guys.

19. Daisy’s little look at Coulson as he leans up against that holotable with the watch. Then, the talk about her talents and the Index and his compliment. I’m just #cousy4lyfe

Wonderful mess that we made.
