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.)

Summary
May breathed out a long, slow exhale and nudged into park, staring sightlessly out the window. Her phone pinged with a text. Simmons, probably. Checking in. She wouldn’t trade what they had now for this world or any other, but she missed it, sometimes, the bustling base. Always having something to do, defensible walls.
The text was headed hi May. May stared at it for a long moment, keeping her palms wrapped around the steering wheel. She didn’t feel much like May, right then. Melinda, maybe. For once. Just a woman sitting in her car with an aching thigh and a switchblade in her pocket, feeling every single one of her fifty-two years. Exhausted with not doing a damn thing. She hadn't felt this way in so long.
She felt like Agent May, like she would never, ever be able to be anything else.
May shut her eyes hard and then opened them again. She muted the radio and pulled back onto the road, driving steadily towards home.
Or: May, Coulson, and Daisy, and moments from a day or two in the building of a new life. A story for learning to trust that the good things in your life are going to stick around, and for the days when even those good things are still a little bit hard.

Summary
“Hello?”
“Jessica, hey.” She could hear the relief in his voice even through the phone, maybe a smile. “Are you home?”
She tilted her head, glancing toward her shuttered blinds. He didn’t seem anxious, so she could assume nothing terrible had happened. She answered in her normal deadpan. “Why? You got more ‘doing the right thing’ wisdom to bestow upon me?”
Luke's chuckle filled her chest with warmth. “No, nothin’ like that. Honestly, I think we all could use a break from that.”
“All?”
“Yeah, uh…” he sighed, “Danny came to visit me at Harlem’s Paradise, and he also brought Matt.”
“Hi, Jessica!” Danny, probably standing right next to Luke, cheerfully exclaimed.

Summary
"Is that..." Matt started to say, closed his mouth, opened it again, and shook his head.
Colleen, sitting on the couch, put her face in her hands. She looked tired.
Matt tried again. "I'm assuming that my senses are letting me down right now and that is not, in fact, a dragon?"
"It's totally a dragon!" Danny said, beaming up at them. The green, slinky thing in his lap stretched and yawned like a cat before burping out a puff of fire. "Isn't it awesome?"
"Sweet Christmas," Luke said.

May, May and Coulson, May and Coulson and Skye. Throwing it back to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (2013 on the ABC network), when the team's biggest problems were less about saving the world and more along the lines of "Can we trust this weird girl Coulson found in a van?" and "Why do they call Melinda May the Cavalry?"

“How surprised do you think she’ll be?” Phil asked from the co-pilot’s chair beside her, his voice a bit crackly as it came through her headset. The suit-and-tie look of Agent Phil Coulson was gone, stashed in the back of their shared walk-in closet somewhere to be pulled out only for guest lectures and funerals, and thankfully the former had happened a lot more than the latter, lately. He was just Phil.
In a Captain America t-shirt, because…Phil.
