EvS Fic Reading Bingo - Part 1

B2: Missing Moment

Patch Me Up (When I’m Broken) - XOLove47 (@accio-the-force) [platonic Bioquake, T, 1.5k] READ: Feb. 7, 2020

Jemma and Daisy, battered and bruised, barely made it to Zephyr One. Safely aboard, they access the damage and make a plan.

[Prompt fill for the TFSN's weekly Coda Challenge]

Jemma patches up Daisy while she tries to help Jemma with the emotional fallout of LMD!Fitz, and they find their way into the Framework. It’s angsty with an undercurrent of hope, and showcases their unbreakable friendship.

I3: <10 Kudos*

i’ll see you soon - independentalto [Scis&Spies, T, 2.2k] READ: Feb. 5, 2020

Before they run, Bobbi and Hunter leave Jemma and Fitz one promise: they'll see them soon.

Fitzsimmons are starting to lose hope that their partners will ever return, and spend their time reminiscing about the shenanigans that they got into together. Unbeknownst to them, Bobbi and Hunter are working hard to get right back to their loves.

N2: Drabble (100 words)

tug-of-war - independentalto [Simmorse, G, 100] READ: Jan. 24, 2020

It's cold.

For Bobbi and Jemma, that means sacrifices.

Bobbi and Jemma are clashed in a battle of epic proportions: to the victor, goes the blanket! This is one of many (36) drabbles of many different ships (both platonic and romantic) ranging from 100 to 565 words of delicious angst or adorable fluff!

kneel - 101places @lnhumanity​ [Fitzsimmons, G, 800] READ: Feb. 4, 2020

Simmons has a bad reaction to an episode of Doctor Who.

A scene in 12x02 of Doctor Who causes Jemma to relive a violent encounter from the Framework. She and Fitz grapple with the realization that trauma doesn’t just go away, but that at least they have each other to help deal with their monsters.

O2: Philinda

Being Human - @b00k-freak​ [Philinda, G, 3.5k] READ: Jan. 28, 2020

May has finally been rescued from Aida, but is malnourished and weak. Daisy looks after her. Coulson avoids her and refuses to tell her why.

Phil avoids Melinda because he fears his feelings for her are different than he wants them to be, and the only reason why she hasn’t found him and shook the ‘I love you’s right out of him was the fact that she was confined to a bed after being rescued from Aida. Meanwhile, Daisy’s running double time, spending time with May and trying to get Coulson to stop fluffing around and ask her out.

Monthly Challenge: Femslash Feb

February has come again! And do you know what that means? THE NET IS OFFICIALLY ONE YEAR OLD!! Yay us! It also means the time has come again to celebrate the fabulous femslash of Shield with Femslash February!

show your love for Skimmons/Bioquake, Simmorse, MorseCode, and any other romantic f/f combinations you can dream of!

it can be smutty or non-smutty, and can include OCs and platonic relationships outside the ship, but a romantic f/f couple must be central

read some quality fic from long-time f/f shippers and/or try your own hand at writing a ship, perhaps not one you’d usually write for!

write AOS femslash and aren’t a member yet? apply here.

share this post to spread the world!

Tag your fics with #aosficnet in the first five tags and #femslashfeb somewhere in the tags, and I will reblog them here under the tag #femslash feb

The regular queue will continue to post throughout February, but those written & tagged for this challenge will be compiled into a single rec list every week (if numbers are appropriate), and then at the end of the month.

Questions? Ask.

Thank you so much! And also @florchis who sent me one of these as well. I’m flattered!! Now let the bragging commence!!!

I’m not sure how much your ships and mine overlap but hopefully amongst all this there are some things you will enjoy. If there’s anything in particular you (or anyone) would like, let me know, I’d be happy to rec my own and other work to satisfy your fic cravings!

From previous self-rec asks I have a selection of Fitz/Simmons/FitzSimmons recs, and one of Skimmons/Bioquake and miscellaneous platonic recs and then… this one which is a considerably more random collection of some of my favourite fics, mostly written since those recs.

Enjoy!!

-

To Dust We Return - Daisy-centric - This is set during a slightly AU S3 break in which Daisy deals with substance abuse and quite heavy depressive thoughts during her time away from the team. I loved writing Daisy and exploring inside her mind a bit more, and I also loved the tone it ended up with.

Chaos Theory - Poly FitzSkimmons - To date, one of my fave FitzSkimmons fics of mine. It was the first time I wrote them without two of them inviting the third into a pre-existing relationship, and just the way that they all came together, I’m really proud of it.

lost in your angel eyes - FitzSimmons - This was inspired by the wonderful @florchis‘s own Command Me To Be Well, and it’s (really) soft bdsm (ish - I mean it’s just a little D/s) but it’s about trust and rebuilding that trust, particularly in the context of physical intimacy after the Framework. I gotta say, I’m a sucker for intimacy that’s sexy and steamy but also sweet & meaningful so I’m just really glad I got the opportunity to bring this into the world, I’m unexpectedly proud of it.

These Are the Days - Fitz, Fitz Family - It’s a little outdated now since we know Fitz’s dad’s name was Alistair not Arthur, and things like that, but this is about Fitz and his childhood and especially his mother and it has a mixture of angsty stuff and hopefulness and his mother is amazing and I really loved writing this. also, shoutout to @buckysbears for the autistic!fitz headcanon that shines through really strongly in this (although, content warning for some ableism bc Fitz’s dad is a dick)

Sounds Like a Song - Daisy, Philinda & Daisy, Daisy Family - A fluffy AU we all need, set in an AU where Daisy was pregnant with Lincoln’s child after S3. Daisy and the family, especially the very popular Grandma May, hang out with the beautiful Bobbi-Ann Johnson for lots of family fluff and fun. Not gonna lie, I was not expecting to love this verse nearly as much as I do love it now. (There’s also a tangentially related ‘MackElena have a kid’ fic here).

@anythas-thoughts @bioforensics and @theclaravoyant also sent me this! YOU GUYS IM SO HONORED

1. the worst (best) thing: The worst thing, he thinks, is that he remembers it all. And when he looks into the mirror, The Doctor stares back. --I really love this one because I think its all that I want my writing to be.

2. Do us part: I will attempt to explain.Whenever I meet a human, they are destined to meet me. Some humans claim a time where they almost die, that for some unknown reason they are able to survive.This is not true.I never make mistakes. I arrive for my human precisely when it is fated. I had never once, in all my millennia of being, met a human who could warp destiny and defy me.Until that moment.

(Or the many close encounters of Leopold Fitz and Jemma Simmons with Death) -- this will always be dear to me because it’s the first (and so far, only) longer fic that i have and it was such a challenge to write!

3. opening old wounds: Because Jemma can listen. Jemma can comfort. Jemma can even make him forget for a little while.But Daisy knows. -- WILL FOREVER BE OBSESSED WITH DAISY AND FITZ BONDING OVER SHITTY PARENTS

4. promise: Three times May makes a promise. -- May and her constant need to be there for Fitz Jemma and Daisy destroys me

5. sun: written with @clearascountryair. How can one get through the lonesomeness of a rainy day when there's no hope that the clouds will ever break?-- you can never have enough Skimmons-- platonic or romantic-- am i right???

Thanks Leah and also Casey who gave me an excuse to self-promote :)))

(Opens up AO3 page to remember what i’ve written)

5. Catch the Sun in which Jemma drags May and Daisy to the zoo and it’s mostly just self-indulgent fluff, but it’s pretty much my only successful attempt at fluff so I’m a little proud. And it just like? Eases my heart to think about? They deserve all the happy normal. 

4. Raw - I’m probably going to be living in Jemma’s ptsd recovery arc for the rest of my life but this is a scene I really needed to happen because I still need closure for the 3x10 torture scene and Jemma deserves to fall apart and feel safe falling apart (and also i’m skimmons trash)

3. Now and Forever More - I’m honestly still floored by how cool and wonderful Leah was to let me play in her adoption AU sandbox (which is the best sandbox and I’m still obsessed tbh). This is the longest AoS fic I’ve written and I’ve maybe never enjoyed writing a story more and so thank you again, Leah, for this gift, you don’t even know how much I needed it.  

2. The Nature of Love - foc. using mostly on platonic fs where Fitz figures out what to do with his romantic feelings when they’re not reciprocated. It’s short, but it’s really really important to me since idk positive examples of friend-zoning are so rare and platonic fs is the fire under my fic writing in the first place so. Also there are a lot of sentences I kinda liked in this one. 

1. Let the Words Fall Down - my magnum opus thus far, and a place for me to shove all my intense bus kids feels. 7 chapters and counting, it’s basically my happy place.

Thanks so much!! I actually received four of these (I had to stare at them for several minutes to absorb the flattery, what kind of love @buskidsburgade. I hear you guys like Skimmons/Bioquake and platonomy so that’s what I’ve focused these recs/brags on. It was super hard!!

(there is a Fitz/Simmons/FitzSimmons list here x)

(O is for) Olive Branch - set mid S2, post Jemma’s return, pre-RealShield reveal. Mack and Simmons resolve some of their differences & antagonisms. I’m really proud of this! It was one of the first times I ever wrote Mack and I’m quite proud of it, plus I love the potential between Jemma and Mack and I’m glad they’ve been exploring it a little more since I wrote this. Also has many references to both of their (platonic) relationships with Fitz, and Fitz’s disability and assistive mechanisms. (Oneshot, optional second/associated part).

Foam, Beans & In Between - THE BIOQUAKE COFFEE SHOP AU WE DESERVE if I do say so myself. Plus some platonicFitz at the end there, bc platonicFitz & the Bus Kids are amazing. I kinda want to continue this but I’m incredibly bad at multichaps so alas, it remains half a romcom. (Oneshot)

Pterophyllum - idk about you but I’m pretty sure framing another person and condemning them to torture/death was a big step for Jemma and it never really got addressed :/ this is a fic addressing that with a ptsd/dissociative episode and Lance Hunter, experienced yet informal trauma survivor & counsellor. Jemmalance brotp ftw. There’s also one with Coulson & Jemma’s PTSD while she’s at Hydra. I’m serious they can pry this arc from my cold dead hands.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside - super fluffy & Extremely Gay. Bioquake. Plane is grounded in a blizzard. (Oneshot, and the smutty sequel if you’re interested)

Angel of Death - Oneshot, can be read as canon compliant or Skimmons/Bioquake. Inspired by the line “everywhere [Daisy] goes, Death follows” and The Book Thief. This was a fun experiment with style and tone and I love it.

Honourable mention to The No.1 Bus Kids Detective Agency ofc, which called some things surprisingly close (*cough* army of Daisys what) and other things very differently. I’m proud of it bc a) the Bus Kids, b) a surprising amount of action and c) I actually finished a multichap! even if it’s only 5 parts.

-

You can also find plenty of platonomy in this (x) collection of oneshots, and plenty of Skimmons, both platonic and romantic, in this one (x).

Femslash Feb - Week 1

This month’s challenge is Femslash Feb! Skimmons/Bioquake is a definite favourite so far but all f/f ships are welcome! New fics, and new chapters on older fics, are also welcome. Here is the original challenge post.

Any questions? Ask.

In the meantime, here are this week’s Femslash Feb fics!

Take from the ones who love you by @chinesebakery - A post-FZZT Skimmons emotional hurt/comfort fic with bedsharing, snuggles & kisses.

Skimmons royalty AU by @pizza-is-my-buziness - a modern Princess-Diaries-esque college-AU-with-a-royal-twist romance. Daisy is skeptical of her school’s new arrival, until she meets the girl behind the crown.

Skimmons high school AU by @buckysbears - (+ platonic May & Skye.) After being caught in The Act with her (secret) girlfriend, Skye fears her new foster home placement may be in jeopardy...only to discover that her foster mother has a not-so-secret of her own.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (◠‿◠✿)

Thanks so much!! And actually, yours was the first of four of these I received (*O* feeling the love people) so I’m going to do two of them (bc 4 seemed excessive). Since you and @agentverbivore are big on the FitzSimmons, here are my five favourite FitzSimmons fics I’ve written.

(there is a list with platonic and Skimmons/Bioquake recs here x)

Love is Not an Eight Letter Word (AO3) (tumblr) - one of my undying faves, and has cemented aro!Jemma as a headcanon of mine. (Oneshot)

Look How They Shine (AO3) (tumblr) - Jemma’s father passes away and Fitz helps her get through it. Angst, hurt comfort, fluff, this has it all & I loved writing it. Also has lots about the relationship between Jemma & her father which is really special to me. (Oneshot)

Footsteps in the Hallway (AO3) - Simmons shows up on Daisy’s doorstep one night, having worked herself into quite a state about her and Fitz’ future together. Daisy - and later, Fitz - help her resolve some (in)fertility-related distress. Romantic FS + strong/prominent Daisy friendships. (2 parts).

Leopold (AO3) (tumblr) - trans!Fitz. some of the other fics in what I’ve called the same “verse” but are really loosely tied together are Fitz/Hunter but this one is Academy Era FS, Fitz comes out to Jemma. It’s more important to me in meaning than in terms of quality; it’s one of the first things I wrote about trans!Fitz, who/which I love, & I want to write more. (Oneshot, with associated tangential collection).

Running Up That Hill (AO3) (tumblr) - this old classic! S2 Role Reversal AU where Simmons had aphasia instead of Fitz, and Fitz left. It’s an open-ended multichap (could be continued, could be left, without being ‘unfinished’).

-

There’s also a whole bunch of FitzSimmons here (x) which I didn’t go through to consider for this rec since it’s a bunch of drabbles and oneshots, but if you feel like rolling around in FS, be my guest! Each chapter is labelled with a general mood and then there’s a brief description at the top of the chap to help you find what you might be after.
