“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.
