Skyeward Month @skyewardmonth - Tumblr Blog

hey guys! are you doing SM this year?

We haven’t had much time to think about it yet and given how both Nathalie and I have put a lot of distance between AOS and ourselves, we haven’t been doing a lot for the fandom and Skyeward lately. We still love and ship them, but the way the show has gone, well…

Skyeward Month last year was loads of fun though, so if you guys are interested, we’d definitely host it again. It would be nice to get some kind of “show of hands” if you’d like to participate in Skyeward Months so we’ll know how much demand there is for another Skyeward Month. Like this post if you want us to do another event.

Do you think there's still hope for skyeward?

Unfortunately, no, I don’t think there’s still hope for Skyeward, no matter how hard it is to admit that to myself, especially given how I’ve been rooting for them and believing that there would always be hope for them. I thought that they were where the writers would be heading for sure, but apparently I was wrong.

Ward is dead, he’s Hive now, I very much doubt that they will bring him back and even if they do, they’ve mentioned more than once that Ward doesn’t want to be redeemed (it’s not like they, being the writers and all, could just CHOOSE to redeem him, huh?). So, no, as much as it breaks my heart, I’ve given hope for them to ever get together myself.

Attention, Skyeward fandom, we need your help and love! On Tuesday, 20 October 2015 we are going to attempt to trend Skyeward Is Love [spaces, no hashtag, write it exactly as you see it here] on Twitter. Since we’ve managed to do a great amount of tweets the last time (over 3k in under two hours), we decided to do this as regularly as possible to show everyone that we’re still here and ready to make ourselves be heard. On Tuesday, we will trend at 4 PM EST // 1 PM PST // 9 PM UK // 10 PM CET. To find out what that is in your timezone, you can use a Time Zone Converter. Our goal is to tweet for an hour and hopefully trend, so we highly encourage to use twitter drafts. To do that, you can either use the Twitter app for your mobile phone or install TweetDeck (works on both computer/mobile). You can draft tweets and schedule them so they will be automatically send out when the trend is taking place. This way, you can not only participate in the trend if you don’t have time to do the trend at the time, you can also do a valuably bigger amount of tweets. The more we tweet, the better the chances are that we’re going to trend. [Also, remember: retweets don’t count for trending! If you want to retweet something, either copy + paste the tweet and tweet it again or quote it!] I have also heard that doing tweets and just adding numbers to them (e. g. “Skyeward Is Love 1″, “Skyeward Is Love 2″, ect.) does not count towards trending, this is why I’d suggest to always add something substantial to your tweets. A tweet could look like this:

Skyeward Is Love because Raina said that it’s love

You can also include pictures or gifs in your tweets.

You can add showrunners and writers (such as Maurissa and Jed), the AoS team, the ABC Network or Chloe and Brett in your tweets, but remember to be respectful and nice to them and don’t tweet them excessively – we do not want to spam them. We want to show them in a positive way how much we care about Skyeward and that we’re still hoping for them to end up together. This trend is to spread love and positivity within our fandom, so if you tweet them, show them just as much love. Unlock your twitter account if you have it on private and if you don’t have one yet, get one to participate in our trend. Should you have any questions regarding our trend, feel free to shoot them at Michelle, Nathalie or Sarah. We’re hoping that many of you will participate in this and that we’ll manage to do even more tweets than last time!

Attention, Skyeward fandom, we need your help and love! On Monday, 12 October 2015 we are going to attempt to trend Skyeward Forever [spaces, no hashtag, write it exactly as you see it here] on Twitter. There has been a lot of hopelessness going around in our fandom over the past couple of months and due to what will most likely happen in Agents of SHIELD’s next episode, we thought that it’s time to make our voices be heard and show some love for our beloved OTP. On Monday, we will trend at 4 PM EST // 9 PM UK // 10 PM CET. To find out what that is in your timezone, you can use a Time Zone Converter.

Skyeward - wishes for season 3

Them to start cooperating, first as reluctant allies and then relying onto each other more and more, and I want that in 3B onwards. Hellfire is optional, but I think it would be cool if Ward became Hellfire. (Ward made Skye and agent, it would be cool if she turned him into a super powered being. A superhero. My point is, they profoundly influenced each other.)

For Skye - I want her to see shades of grey again. I want her to face the conflict of loyalty when SHIELD starts indexing her people and it proves to be bad for them (and they become distrustful). I want her to face the reality of the procedure she is endorsing in the beginning, and i want her to do what a superhero should do - the hard call.

For Ward - I want him to realize that he’s enough. That he’s good enough. That he can make a difference and that is good enough. People sometimes mention healing in this context and I wonder what that would even be? Him to stop being self sacrificial and put other people first? heck no, because if you take that away, he won’t be the same character any more. I fell in love with the character who is protective to a fault. Who will stay behind to that Fitz can get out of the trouble (”The Hub”). Whom people hurt but he doesn’t hate them back - as much as some people wanted him to hate Skye after she shot him, he never did. No, he chose to go to a Skye - saving mission. He chose her, because he will choose people he loves, no matter what - that’s the very thing I love about his character, that is one of his defining traits, and of course that sometimes can be a weakness, but any trait can. (even his revenge plans come from the desire to protect - agent 33 was someone whom he wanted to protect and failed, he wanted her to have everything he was denied and failed, he tried to be her hero and failed. and, because in his opinion, she was the last thing he had left - there was nothing else to choose, which is why i don’t consider them a romantic pairing because if he had a choice he would never choose agent 33, it’s well know whom ward would choose - he has now reached the bottom. because there is nothing left for him any more - in his opinion and perception.) If he weren’t in a position he is now, fandom wouldn’t criticize his self - sacrifices as “lack of sanity”, no, they’d be praising him and calling him a protective hero. Take that away and he won’t be Grant Ward any more, in fact, take that away and THEN you will have a villain.

So what is healing for Grant Ward? What will make him happy? Knowing that he helped and made a difference. That he protected someone who matters to him, even through dirty means. For that he doesn’t need “redemption” or “healing” he needs to own himself. (He is well on his way there too. From hiding his emotions and shoving them away in s1 to accepting what he feels even if he struggled with it in s2. You can call that “healing” if you will, it’s certainly progress. Not feeling or stopping to feel is what will ruin his character.) And he can do that and protect people from SHIELD, from indexing, he can protect Skye from actual bad guys and know that he made a difference.

Skyeward wishes for S3

kay so i’m a bit late getting this up, but here are my wishes for skyeward in season 3, both together and as individuals:

For Skye: I hope that she struggles with her new identity as Daisy because of everything the name symbolizes-the life she could’ve had that was stolen from her (by Hydra and SHIELD), the years of loneliness and disappointment of feeling unwanted, unloved and never having a home (because of SHIELD). Also for the show to address why Skye feels the need to alter her identity and appearance so significantly in the first place, because it’s important and shouldn’t just be skimmed over and forgotten. To realize that just because she cares about Coulson and the team, it doesn’t mean she should destroy who she is to fit in with them, especially since it’s not all good despite how they proclaim themselves as being so (yes I would like to see her leave SHIELD.)

For Ward: I hope for once, for someone to reach out and give him a real chance to get better, so he can actually redeem himself, and get to be the good man he’s always wanted to be (but has probably given up on by this point.) nobody can just magically without any help or support recover from 30+ years of abuse and the show needs to get that through their thick skulls.

For skyeward: still totally for Quakefire!Skyeward, but it’s not necessary. Mostly i’d just like to see Skye leaving SHIELD for real, Ward being through his vengeance quest and be trying to get better– have the two of them meet up, on purpose or by accident, still have there be some tension between them, but end up being reluctant allies and partners. Then of course some understanding and forgiveness is needed on both sides. They team up against SHIELD and the other pro registry people with Steve Rogers and eventually live happily ever after. 😇❤️

'What Do You Say?'

Written for Skyeward Month, Week Four, Day Five.

(Headcannon: Wishes for season three)

“Why are you here, Skye?” Grant asks the woman sitting on the end of the bed. She scrapes her hair behind one ear, glancing up at him. He meanwhile is leaning against the door, effectively putting some distance in between them, while also blocking her best exit from the room.

“Are you here for SHIELD?” He asks when she doesn’t respond. “To bring me in again?”

“If I was here for SHIELD, why would you come here?” Skye raises an eyebrow at him, finally deciding to speak. “That would be kind of stupid of you, Grant.”

He notices her use of his first name. He also notices how nice it sounds rolling off her tongue.

“Maybe I was curious.” He shrugs. In truth, he doesn’t know why he came here. It’s like he had to, like there was some sort of pull that he couldn’t resist. “But answer my first question. Why are you here?”

Skye raises herself up, glancing at him almost coyly.

“I’m here because I can’t take it anymore.” She tells him simply. “Being good, I mean.”

Grant’s silent: he really doesn’t know where Skye’s going with all of this. He wonders if she’s here to distract him, so that SHIELD can get their hands on the new head of HYDRA. Well, if they try, they’re likely to get a bullet to the head. He didn’t come alone, after all. It’s far too risky, now that he’s the boss.

“I don’t want to be in SHIELD anymore.” Skye blurts out. Grant can’t hide his surprise.

“What?”

“I don’t want this life.” She gestures widely. “The life where I pretend it’s okay that I finally found my parents, only to have them snatched away before I’d even got a chance to know them. The life where I don’t just date the nearest Inhuman in sight, just because he’s the person everyone else approves of. The life where I don’t have to feel guilty for the fact that I made so many people Inhuman!”

“So why did you call me? I’m not the magical solution to your problems, Skye.” He laughs humourously. “Go home Skye.”

“HYDRA.” She says. “HYDRA can give me the solution, and you know it.” He glances at her. She’s being serious, he realises. Deadly serious.

“I want to have the life where I can let go.” She tells him solemnly. “Where I can use my powers freely. Where I don’t have to worry about being perfect.” Skye takes a deep breath. “So where’s the sign-up sheet?” She tries to joke, a ghost of a smile on her lips.

“Go home, Skye.” He repeats after a few moments. “This isn’t the place for you, and you know it.”

“Grant-” She begins, but he cuts her off brutally.

“HYDRA isn’t the place for you.” He tells her sharply. “Skye, we torture people. We kill, we hurt and we don’t feel remorse. That’s not what you are.”

“Really? You don’t know me, Grant!” She narrows her eyes. “I’m fed up with being Coulson’s protégé. What has it gotten me?” She takes a step forward. “The closest to normal I’ve ever had was with you.”

“Go back to SHIELD.” He dismisses her easily. Skye’s acting out. She hasn’t got much attention back at SHIELD, so she’s come crawling to him. “I don’t have time to deal with you.” Grant goes to turn to open the door, but it stopped by Skye’s:

“Wait!”

“What?” He turns around, throwing her a glance over his shoulder. “Skye, I don’t have time for this, you know.”

“You’re not taking me seriously.” She says, crossing her arms over her chest. “You think I’m being naïve, that I don’t know what HYDRA does.”

“To be honest, yeah, I think that.” Grant spins around to face her. “I think you’re being immature, running to me in the hope that I’ll make everything better for you. And I can’t, so can you please just leave?”

Skye stares at him for a few moments, before her lips form a thin line. She’s made up her mind.

“No.”

“What?” Grant glares at her. Skye maintains her ground.

“No.” She repeats calmly. “I want in. I want to join HYDRA, and you can’t stop me.”

“Why the hell not?” He snarls at her.

“Because if you say no, I’ll just allow other members of HYDRA to catch me. And since I’m Inhuman, they’ll either kill me or bring me in. So it’s your choice. Let me die, or just let me join you.”

Grant’s face stiffens. Skye’s got him well and truly backed in a corner.

“Please, Grant.” Skye pleads with him. “I want to join HYDRA. Please.”

“HYDRA will destroy you.” He says emotionlessly. Skye keeps blinking at him.

“I’ll prove myself.” She promises. “Grant, SHIELD has killed me. I don’t even get to look at a computer anymore. All they see me as is a walking earth shaker. And I’m worried that if I stay any longer, I’ll never escape. I’ll stay there forever, and I’ll end up marrying Lincoln, and we’ll have kids, and I don’t want that.”

It’s silent for a few moments. Grant stares at her.

“HYDRA will destroy you.” He repeats, his voice a murmur. Slowly, he brushes his hand over her cheek. Skye leans into his hand, her eyes huge and honest in her face.

“SHIELD has already destroyed me.” She whispers back. “So what do you say?”

'Someday, You Will Understand'

Written for Skyeward Month, Week Four, Day Three.

(Headcannon: ‘Someday, you will understand’)

Skye thinks that she understands now.

She stares at the mess in front of her, and the in in her hands, and she thinks she understands why Ward chose HYDRA over her.

He didn’t have a choice.

He had been moulded to agree with Garrett’s will, turned into a piece of clay to be shaped. He didn’t have any free will of his own, not really, and that’s why it never occurred to him to fight back. Him loving her was the most rebellion he could handle.

She was naive, she realises, to say that he could have just told Coulson. One can’t just shake off years of conditioning, just like that. But she didn’t listen to him when he told her that. She continued to live in her rose tinted world in which Ward still had a choice in his actions.

Skye gets to her feet, her legs trembling. They threaten to buckle from underneath her, but she forces them to move. Her steps are shaky as she steps through the remains in front of her. Skye tightens her fingers on the gun in her hand: it’s her lifeline.

Ward told her that someday she would understand. That she would get why he chose to follow Garrett through thick and thin. Considering that’s what she did with Coulson, she gets it now. He considered Garrett’s word to be law, and you don’t disagree with the law, do you?

Skye somehow makes herself walk away from the scene, and she ends up in a seedy motel somewhere. She sits on the end of the bed, blood coating her clothes and skin, and she dials a number. She’s not even too sure if it’ll connect: the number is old, after all.

“Hello?” Grant says.

“You still have this phone?” Skye says as a greeting. Grant is silent for a moment.

“Skye. Why are you calling me?” He asks stiffly. Skye looks down at her hand, which is still holding onto the gun.

“Today, I was given a choice. Let a group of innocents die, or let thousands more die instead.” She begins. “I had to make a choice.”

“Skye, why are you telling me this?” She wonders if he’ll hang up. She keeps talking regardless.

“I let that group die.” She closes her eyes. “For the greater good. And some words occurred to me. 'Someday you’ll understand’.”

“Skye, where’s Coulson?” He asks.

“You told me I’d understand why you did what you did.” She continues. “Why you killed people. And even though what just happened had nothing in common with you really, I still feel like I understand. Garrett was the one telling you to save the innocents,when you should have saved the thousands.”

“Skye, you need to go to SHIELD.” He tells her gently. “You’re rambling.”

“I think I understand.” She mutters.

Skye doesn’t speak to Ward again for two more years. And when she does, it’s in the most unlikely of places.

“Sorry!” She apologises as she hits into someone after bending down to pick up her shopping, which has split to the floor.

“No, no it was my fault.” The guy tells her, bending down to help her. And that’s when she realises who the man is.

“Grant.” She says softly. His eyes flick up, and he looks surprised to see her.

“Skye.” He returns.

“I understand.” She says simply.

Wishes for Season 3

They come clean to each other at the end of season three in the most ridiculous way. Lincoln ejects them with a version of the truth serum Simmons has enhanced to work better and last longer and then locked them in the Bus’ 2.0 Cage. It starts of with a fight, it always starts of with them like that, and escalates soon after.

By the time the serum has worn off they both know each other inside out. She knows about that time Christian almost chocked him in his sleep and he knows about that asshole that almost forced himself on her when she was thirteen, and about all the lives he took and all the not so noble things she did to survive and suddenly she’s not as pristine and perfect as she makes herself out to be and he’s not that big of a monster.

That’s the start of them making their way back to each other.
