Summary
The world after Coulson passes is quieter in a way that feels wrong.
The Lighthouse still hums—vents breathing, fluorescent lights buzzing, doors sealing with that soft hydraulic sigh like the base is trying to be gentle about it. But the center of it is gone, and everything that used to orbit him has started drifting, bumping into the edges of itself.
Daisy tells herself she’s fine.
It’s the oldest habit she has. The first rule she ever learned: if you need something, you don’t ask for it. If you want someone, you don’t reach. If you love them, you keep it small enough it won’t be used against you. She’s had that rule longer than she’s had a name.
-
In the depths of grief, Daisy finds Coulson’s secret file on her—part diary of her life, part love letter—and finally understands that she finally has found the parents she’s always dreamed of in Coulson and May.

Summary
Fire.
That’s the first thing Daisy really registers as she startles awake, her body slick with cold sweat, her bunk shaking beneath her.
She doesn’t remember the nightmare—only the fear it left behind, clinging and heavy.
She’d fallen asleep in her grimy, blood-soaked shirt, too exhausted to get up after she’d sat down. Now she regrets it.
Because now her body feels like it’s on fire, agony igniting every single cell, pinning her in place. She can’t move.
Her heart slams against her ribs, her body wracked with violent shivers despite the sweat soaking her skin. The air around her feels both boiling hot and bone-achingly cold, and even the brush of her comforter against her skin feels agonizing.
Everything feels too loud and too fast around her, the vibrational waves of the Lighthouse overwhelming and suffocating.

in the aftermath of trauma, daisy reaches for the only steadiness she can feel, and may becomes the person that holds the anchor in place.

Summary
“We haven’t had enough time,” Daisy said softly, staring back at her screen as her Lighthouse room dimmed. She tried to memorize the way May’s eyes crinkled at the corners, the lines around her mouth; the way she looked exactly the same as she always had, even with every line of her gone softer. “I don’t—May, it’s only been—” she laughed, shaky, years blurring together in their warmth and recency.
“I’m not that old, Daisy.”
“I’m not saying you’re old!”
“Really? ‘Cause everyone, lately—”
“Nothing’s allowed to happen to you,” Daisy blurted, suddenly desperate. “You’re—unbreakable, May, you can’t—”
The way May stilled made Daisy’s heart stutter.
“Unbreakable, huh.”
(Or: You know how there's a part of you that still wants to believe in forever?)

Summary
(Title a tongue-in-cheek application of some Taylor Swift lyrics)
Daisy no-last-name was a nobody before she got chosen to be the botanist and mechanical engineer for the Ares III mission to Mars. Finally free from her abusive, no-good ex-fiancé Grant Ward, Daisy throws herself into training and soon enough launches into space and docks with the Hermes for the ten month long trip to the red planet. She's lucky. Her crewmates became her family. The ten months pass in a whirl of laughter, science, and early mornings staring out one of the big windows, watching Earth retreat into the darkness.
And then a massive dust storm. Daisy gets struck by a flying piece of debris. Her biomonitor shows a total flatline. For all intents and purposes, she's dead. Phil Coulson, the mission commander, fighting against high winds as he looks for her, falls in the darkness and rips his knee up. They leave. They have to. And for two long months, all of Earth thinks she's dead.
But she isn't.
Daisy wakes up half-buried in sand, utterly alone, with an injury that should have killed her. And by some miracle, she survives.
(AOS/The Martian crossover. Don't need to have read the Martian to understand.)
