Changes
Rated G, 2200 words Relationships: Fitz&May, Fitz&Coulson Summary: As SHIELD is celebration their temporary victory on Izel, Fitz reflects on every that has changed since he's last been on Earth and finally gets a proper reunion with May. Missing moment from the end of 6x09 (Collision Course, part 2) for @earthvspace‘s something extra and @aosficnet2‘s Palentine. A big thank you to @libbyweasley and @blancasplayground for their help on this and for being wonderful betas <3 And also a big thank you to @ofitzsimmons for making the gorgeous gif set to go with the story. All of the things that were different didn’t really register to Fitz until they were all gathered to celebrate their victory at the base. For a year, he'd been focused on finding his way to the future to get his friends back, only to discover they'd been back all along with another version of him who had managed to die in a building collapse. Since he'd learned about it, he'd been trying his best not to think too much about what would have happened if the other him hadn't died. Which he did by never leaving Jemma's side and basking in her presence. And she seemed quite content to do the same. But here, at the base, it was hard to ignore the truth of everything he'd missed. There were good surprises, such as Davis being alive, although it was frustrating that no one seemed to know how that was possible. There were the ones he couldn't tell if they were good or bad, such as Elena's robot arms, which she seemed rather okay with. Although she and Mack not being together anymore when they were clearly still very much in love was barely less strange. Not to mention that Fitz didn't really know what to do about the grandson who was the same age he was. Jemma said he was a work in progress and he seemed nice, just… a lot. Like having Scrappy Doo around. And of course there were the really, really bad surprises. Read on A03
