Why Can't You See What You're Doin' To Me? Chapter 39
Tumblr media
Happy new year everyone!! I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and that 2024 will be a good year for all.
Thank you all so much for your patience in waiting for this next chapter. My November was consumed with the final month of training for the Memphis St Jude Half Marathon which I ran on Dec 2 and I achieved a personal best time. The previous half I had done back in Feb I had done in 2 hrs 32 min, I did Memphis in 2 hrs 18 min. I legit cried when I saw my time at the finish line. My other half and I then spent the next week in Memphis doing Graceland and other fun tourist stuff, it was SO much fun and I can't wait to go back. Graceland decorated for Christmas is absolutely beautiful, I'm glad my first trip there was during the Christmas season. I did a little entry on my trip if you want to read it:
Also, I wanted to share this picture that I spotted in the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. I named Jane for my grandmother who was a nurse but when I saw the name for this nursing school for African American women I just had to take a picture.
Tumblr media
Under the cut is the tag list, please let me know if I need to make any changes, it's been a while so not sure if it's still up to date/correct. I hope this chapter is worth the wait!
Thank you all for still reading and supporting me on this writing journey!

Can we get some hcs of how deke and inhuman!reader’s (yes daisys bro) relationship would go? From start to telling may and daisy and the subsequent threats? To fitzsommons reactions? And of course just how deke is in a romance?
Although we all know he’s attracted to partners wjo can kill him
Deke Shaw x GN!reader
Tumblr media
● Deke is the walking personification of the "well mark me down as scared and horny" meme
● he saw you use your powers to take out a dozen bad guys at once and was like take me to bed immediately
● at first you and Deke were just hooking up so why did anyone else need to know?
● but then Mack noticed you and Deke seemed to have gotten… close and confronted you about it
● "it's purely physical Mack nothing more"
● "Is it that way because Deke is from the future and you're afraid you might have to say goodbye to him one day?"
● "damn Mack when did you get so deep? And how did you even figure out we were together?"
● "Please Y/N have you seen the way Deke gets major heart eyes whenever you're in the room?"
● maybe there was some truth to what Mack said so you talked to Deke about it and finally admitted you wanted more from this friends with benefits thing you had going on and he felt the same way
● you decided it was best to keep your relationship a secret while you figured everything out
● but then you got hurt on a mission and in a panic state Deke called you 'baby' in front of your sister Daisy and May who raised you
● they didn't say anything in the moment because you were literally bleeding out but once you were stable again the interrogation began
● Daisy "so Y/N would you like to explain why Deke called you baby back there?"
● "uh… no"
● May "Y/N you're not leaving this bed anytime soon so you might as well tell us the truth"
● "Okay so maybe Deke and I are dating"
● Daisy was excited about your relationship, May on the other hand was apprehensive
● of course she wants you to be happy but getting involved with your best friends grandson from the future was bound to come with lots of roadblocks
● which is how Jemma and Leo found out about you and Deke
● May went to them and was like this is something we need to talk about immediately
● Jemma and Leo don't really see the problem and were confused as to why May would be against it
● "because eventually Deke will have to go back to his own time period, he can't stay in the past and Y/N can't go to the future without potentially messing up the timeline they are only going to get thier hearts broken"
● "Okay now we see the problem"
● it takes almost a month for their concerns to be brought up because every time they try to they see you two being sweet and couply and they back out
● Daisy "you know one of you are going to have to talk to them eventually"
● Jemma "but Deke was making Y/N pancakes with a smiley face out of whip cream it was so cute I didn't want to bring down the mood!"
● May is the one who finally confronts you and Deke
● "I want you to be happy Y/N but you and Deke are from two different times and-"
● "mom it's okay, we talked about that months ago"
● Jemma "you did?"
● Deke "yeah, we know there's a chance we can't be together forever but isnt it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all or whatever the saying is?"
● "and if along the way we figure out how to stay in the same time period without damaging the timeline then even better"
● Daisy "wow you guys are being really mature about this whole thing"
● Deke "I know right but also watching Y/N use his powers was always so hot there's no way I could have resisted this ass forever," he says giving your butt a smack
● Leo "well this nice moment is officially ruined"

@kiemimi wanted to know my opinion and brainrot on the OPLA characters so here some of them :
-> Akagami no Shanks
Tumblr media
No brainrot but very pleased with his actor. Ngl I was a bit skeptical when he first appeared as Shanks. Because this is not how I imagined him to look like irl, and I saw multiple people complain that he didn't look handsome lol. But now I can't see him being portrayed by someone else. He's just him. And he looks very hot when he saves Luffy. 👌🏻
You're in for a ride with him. He's an open book yet there's many things you don't know about him. "You didn't ask" basically. He's really chill and likes to see you laugh and smile, seeing you sad really breaks his heart.
-> Buggy the Clown
Tumblr media
BARK BARK BARK. As said in an older post, I didn't recognize the actor and was shocked to see that I already knew him. I saw his face without makeup and found him familiar. It renewed a brainrot with an old character (deke), lol.
There's always something happening. There's rarely ever a fully boring day. And he loves that you're by his side no matter what. He might want to abandon you to save his ass but always end up taking you with him because he doesn't have the heart to actually abandon you. He likes your attention, but you better be careful with it because he might go overboard very easily. And sometimes he's too lost in it to care about what you really want and don't want.
-> Cabaji
Tumblr media
GAY ‼️
-> Dracule Mihawk
Tumblr media
No brainrot. I have some trouble with his eyes. I can't tell if I would've preferred them without contacts. But other than that he slayed his role, very cunty.
Maybe the calmest relationship of your life. He doesn't talk much but he still values communication because it's important. He trusts you and likes to see you happy, mentally cheering for you.
-> Monkey D. Luffy
Tumblr media
No brainrot. The only thing is that he doesn't stretch himself as much as he should. But I can't remember if he used his stretchiness as much as he does now (grabbing someone from afar, launching himself…) otherwise Iñaki is a good luffy. Love him. Knew him from The Imperfects so I was happy to see him again.
Too trusting. And too naive. Believe any words that come from your mouth, but you better not play too much with it because he's going to repeat it. Like Shanks, he likes to make you laugh and see you happy. Seeing his crew in a good mood is important to him.
-> Roronoa Zoro
Tumblr media
No brainrot, surprisingly ? I love his anime/manga vers. so idk why his live action isn't clicking. I remember being 15 and fighting for him with a friend lol
Very loyal, not that the others aren't. But you better not betray him. He won't take it kindly. Very trusting as well. If you're ever accused of something you didn't do, he won't need to hear you to know if it's true or fake. And even if it was true, he's going to be like, "You had your reasons *shrugs*."
-> Usopp
Tumblr media
Don't have anything to say, good actor choice. Love him as usopp. Can't wait to see more of him in season 2, honestly. Which we would see him as sogeking/sniperking.
He definitely hides behind you but doesn't back down to protect you. Likes to make you laugh. But the more you laugh, the more he might lie to make you laugh even more. Down to try whatever drink you take. If he knows he can't take someone down, he'll run to you for protection. If you can't take them down either, well... You're both running.
-> Vinsmoke Sanji
Tumblr media
I don't know why they got rid of the eyebrows. He's really sweet. I love him more than the anime/manga because he's less of a pervert and he's smoother about it. Taz did an amazing job. He's really dedicated from what I've heard, doing his own stunts, learning how to cook…
He loves flirting with you even if he's already dating you. He's really biased when it comes to you. He trusts you with his entire being, heart, and soul. Very gentle lover that makes you breakfast in bed. Or breakfast in the hammock.

ship lepus: fanfiction master post
Tumblr media
Wherein I write about the blorbae.
I’m very awful and terrible at keeping these sorts of things up to date but BY GOD I’m going to try! Note: I don’t write stories in chronological order.  Sorry. You can find all the fics right here if you just want to dive right in, but herein I attempt to organize them:  Please take note of the tags when you click every link, my doods. Longer Stories, Usually The Porn With Some Non-Horny Literary Merit: Lepus Trilogy - a slightly alternate sequence of events after the Innocence fight in Shadowbringers, this is the ultimate catalyst for the ship.  There’s lots of sex and mental rumination in here. When The Dust Settles - Patch 5.5/5.55 goes down right before Endwalker and Tiona and Urianger work through some things.  Sex, mental rumination, marriage, and Estinien. Legitimate Sagacity - Post-Endwalker, but before 6.1.  Tiona’s journey to becoming an Archon.  Ever seen Real Genius?  This is a kind of fandom fusion.  There’s no full-on sex in this one, for a change. Smaller Serieses/Vignette Collections: About A Dog - did you know Tiona and Urianger have a dog?  They have a dog.  His name is Deke.  He’s the goodest boy. Heritage Moments - these are basically vignettes that I wanted to share that don’t really fit anywhere else.  Typically ship-centric. The Porn That I Can’t Even Pretend Has Some Non-Horny Literary Merit: Synastry - The One Where Urianger Gets Pegged Blue-Footed - The One With Boobies In Some Cases, Rabbits Make Excellent Starlight Presents -  Happy Starlight, Let’s Have Sex.

Fandom Mama! Long time no ask. I am seeing stuff on Twitter about Chloe/Daisy being in Secret Invasion that I thought you would be best to ask you. Is she in it?
Hi Anon,
To my knowledge, NO, Chloe/Daisy will not be in Secret Invasion, she said as much in a recently interview. And before anyone yells at me, yes I know very well Marvel has NDA's, actors have lied, and and hides things all the time. But I still don't think we will see here, there is just no indication that the story or the MCU is going into Inhumans/Secret Warriors right now. And usually there is something, somewhere, that has leaked from set, just a little to hint of that surprise. I have heard none of those rumblings.
I wholly own I could be wrong on this one. I know there are people out there that are very confident she will show up. I've been on that I will die on this hill confident about a theory over the years too. I've hit and missed over the years, but like my overall track record on the whole theorizing and predicting things. For me the fun was in the predicting, research, discussions, asks, and metas.
I am not on the die on this hill with Daisy being in Secret Invasion.
Will I enjoy it if she doesn't show up, you bet! I'm so excited for this one.
Will I enjoy it if she does show up, you bet! I'm so excited for this one.
It will be really nice to watch a who can you trust kind of show and not be petrified about it and its fallout like I was during AOS.
If IF, Daisy does appear in Secret Invasion I can not emphasize enough that IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME DAISY WE KNOW AND LOVE FROM AOS.
I've well established in many asks that thanks to the time loop AOS is off in a whole other branch of the timeline about a forest away from where the MCU is now. And the show was running years behind where Endgame would up. So our, Deke's and whatever many time streams they spun off via the loops and making waves in the Season 7 timeline is off in their own happy little worlds. Fitzsimmons have HEA in Perthshire (they will pry that from my cold dead hands), Robo Coulson is off seeing the world, May is running the Academy, Mack is the Director, Elena is the top Agent with Piper and Robo Davis, and Daisy is an Astro Ambassador with Sousa and Kora (again you will take that from my cold dead hands).
If Daisy shows up she will have a completely new backstory that will fit with what the writers of Secret Invasion needed. No team family, different origin story, no Sousa, different attitude and personality, heck a different take on her powers could happen. We saw in Season 7 how changes to the timeline, big and small, could impact things down the line. Then there was the fresh take we got on Ghost Rider on the show, completely different than the one we'd seen on screen years ago. Robbie's story was adjusted to fit the AOS 4a storyline.
Robbie is also proof AOS is way off in its own timeline thanks to the Darkhold.
At this point I think its best for everyone to just settle in for the ride. Unless we get an ABC intern level of finale photo leak, rip rando intern we love you, we are likely not to get any confirmation either way until the show actually airs.
Its totally cool to hope for it if you want it. While its totally cool to be against it if you don't. And its fine to be in the middle and just be along for the ride like I am. As usual have fun with the theorizing and Manage Expectations. Please...don't make me dig through my blog for that post again.

FSSS back again!
First, to answer your question, I actually do enjoy cheesy holiday movies only because the predictability is good for my anxiety. I can turn it on in the background and know everyone will get a happy ending of sorts. Plus they're fun to make fun of.
Now then, I asked you about your favorite things to do around the holidays, so as an extension of that, do you have any headcanons about Fitzsimmons around this time of year (both pre- and post- Alya)?
Hope you're surviving the week!
Hi Santa! You know what, that's a great point about Hallmark holiday movies. I get it. (Also the bit about them being fun to make fun of made me laugh.)
As far as what I think Fitzsimmons did/have done around this time of year, please be prepared for my overly detailed thoughts, haha (I did write a fic about it last year, after all, LOL).
At the Academy I think they hung out together in their dorms, watching movies and baking cookies, or traveled home to see their parents. (My favorite version of this is in @ravenpuffheadcanons' fic "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Something.")
I can't figure out the timeline of when Christmas would have happened during or between seasons 1 and 2, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope they got a nice-ish Christmas on the Bus.
But I absolutely think they went to see their families for Christmas between seasons 3 and 4, aka the only between-seasons time they weren't separated D:
From what I've figured/decided, they didn't spend the next two Christmases together, because the first year our Fitz was frozen in space and the second year Jemma was searching for him :( I love thinking about their Christmases on the Zephyr, though. I've decided Enoch could get basically whatever they wanted on supply runs, because it's easier that way, hahaha, so I'm sure they had some kind of a tree and lights and cookies and presents with baby Alya. I think, in the busyness of post-canon life, they miss it sometimes.
Post-canon, I think they spend Christmas itself with their parents, because they live close-ish to Fitz's mum and because their parents missed out on so much. And I think they try to see as many members of their S.H.I.E.L.D. family as possible during the week between Christmas and New Year's, including Deke once they figure out how to get the quantum machine to work again, and including Hunter and Bobbi and any Hunter-Morse children because I cannot conceive of a post-canon life where they aren't, if not neighbors, at least dear friends who see each other as often as possible.
That's probably more information than you were looking for, hahaha, but thanks for asking another great question! I'm hanging in there this week, but any opportunity to think about Fitzsimmons helps <3

Fall In Love With Me This Christmas
(for Dousy Appreciation Week day 2, for the prompt "role reversal/au)
Read on AO3!
Word count: 3,250
Tags/Warnings: Rated G
Generally speaking, Daisy enjoyed Thanksgiving. Getting together with her family, especially those who were often out of state, was fun. And it was the gateway to Christmas, one of Daisy’s favorite holidays to celebrate with her family.
This year, however, there was at least one downside. And it was Jemma Simmons. While Daisy loved her adoptive sister, Jemma had gotten increasingly invested in certain aspects of Daisy’s life of late. Namely, her love life.
Ever since she and her now ex-boyfriend Lincoln had broken up three years ago, she hadn’t been with anyone else. Sure, there had been a few interested parties-- Jemma’s cousin, Deke, and a guy at work called Robbie who she'd gone on one date with-- but no one she’d seriously considered. There still wasn’t.
However, Jemma had seemed to have decided it was time for Daisy to find someone else, and she was very persistent about setting her up with that someone. And while Daisy was usually the one encouraging Simmons-- or Fitz, or Hunter, or Trip, or any member of her family-- in one of her crazy plans, this was one plan she wasn’t helping with. She didn’t need romance. Not now, at least.
This wouldn’t stop Jemma, though, and Daisy knew it. So she prepared, warily, for the coming discussion.
It came after lunch on Thanksgiving. She, Kora, Jemma and Fitz were playing Bananagrams at the table, which was something of a tradition for the family. Bobbi and Hunter were watching TV in the living room nearby, and the sound of low voices and clattering dishes from the kitchen gave away Phil and May’s location easily.
As the four of them started a new game, friendly chatter flowed back and forth-- Kora joking about how Jemma was the usual winner in this game, with Daisy chiming in and suggesting ways they could take her down.
“Maybe we should have Fitz start flirting with her, to distract her,” Kora suggested as she grabbed a handful of tiles, counting out the amount she needed.
Shaking her head, Daisy said, “Mmm, at that point it would be harder to get them to stop than start.”
“Also, I’m not helpin’ you sabotage Jemma,” Fitz said, selecting his tiles one at a time. His fiancee beamed at him.
“And that’s why you’re my favorite. Well, one of many reasons.” Leaning over, she kissed him on the cheek, and Daisy and Kora exchanged an eyeroll.
“Yeah, you’re cute, we get it,” Daisy teased. “Can we get on with it now?”
They started the game, and were halfway through when Jemma spoke. “So, Daisy,” she said, and her voice was so deliberately casual that Daisy knew exactly what was coming. “I was talking to a client at work the other day, and her brother came to pick her up. He’s around your age-- very handsome--”
“No,” Daisy said promptly. “Jemma, don’t start.”
“Oh, come on, Daisy,” Jemma said with a touch of exasperation. “You don’t even know--”
“I know that I don’t want to be set up with some random stranger,” Daisy said, her voice adamant. “So drop it.”
“Please, Daisy. Look, Fitz and I--”
“Oh, no,” Fitz said immediately, looking up with alarm. “I told you, I don’t want to be involved in this.”
“What-- oh, come on, back me up here!” Jemma protested. Next to Daisy, Kora was busy pretending to be extremely invested in her tiles.
Wrinkling his nose, Fitz said, “I love you, but I’m not gonna get involved. I know better after the last debacle.”
Jemma let out a huff, turning back to Daisy. “Fine. I’m worried about you, and I just want you to be happy. I understand taking time before you get back into the dating world, I just think that you… maybe need a little push.” Clearly seeing the expression on Daisy’s face, she hurried on, “And I know what you’re going to say, so I thought that perhaps I could help you set up an online dating profile--”
Oh, that’s not happening. Cutting through her sister’s words hastily, Daisy said, “Jemma, I appreciate the thought, I really do. But that’s not necessary, I’m already seeing someone, so please drop it.”
The minute the lie left her mouth she knew it was a mistake. Because the extended Coulson-May-Simmons-Fitz-etc. family didn’t just drop things. Especially when it came to love lives. Fitz’s jaw all but hit the table top, and Jemma’s eyes grew huge. “What?” she all but shrieked. “Since when? Why didn’t you tell us?”
“It’s… a recent thing,” Daisy muttered, avoiding her sister’s gaze. This was not good.
“What’s his name?” Kora demanded, her feigned interest in her tiles forgotten.
Crap, Daisy thought. “Uh, Daniel,” she blurted out, and immediately wanted to smack herself. But it’s fine. It’s not like anyone here will remember--
“Wait, Daniel?” Hunter’s voice came from the living room, and the scruffy man popped up into sight seconds later, interest clear in his eyes. “Isn’t that the bloke that you work with? The one who you said was going to school to be a, ya know, whatever?”
Oh, this is not good, Daisy thought, trying not to grimace. Because of course Hunter would remember the fact that she’d mentioned her co-worker Daniel before. They were only friends, although he was pretty cute, she wouldn’t deny it. And overall, he was a good guy. But why did I have to choose his name?
“A therapist,” Bobbi said-- the blonde woman was right on her boyfriend’s heels, a gleam of interest in her eyes. “You’re dating Daniel Sousa? I didn’t think he was your type.”
“You can’t slap labels on romance, love,” Hunter pointed out. “After all, I went for you, didn’t I?”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Bobbi demanded. Before Hunter could respond, Kora cut in.
“Do Phil and May know?” Without waiting for an answer, she shouted, “May! Phil! Daisy’s got a boyfriend!”
“And this is exactly what I didn’t want to happen,” Daisy mumbled as a loud crash came from the kitchen, and her parents appeared.
“She’s got a what?” May demanded, her scary mom face on.
“Since when?” Phil asked, his gaze flicking to Daisy.
“It’s just a recent thing-- and we’re not really dating, fully,” Daisy hedged, trying to find a way out of it. “It’s just casual, we’re more friends than anything else--”
“Uh, I think the fact that I remembered this guy’s name disproves that,” Hunter objected. “I don’t pay much attention to your co-workers, after all. You kind of talked about him all the time.”
“I didn’t!” Daisy protested.
“Ehh, kinda did,” Kora said. All eyes switched to her, and she shrugged. “What? It’s true. Although honestly, I like him. And he’s kinda cute. If you’re not too serious about it, I’ll take him.”
“Yeah, that’s definitely a no,” Daisy said without thinking, and Jemma looked absolutely gleeful. Hunter shot her an annoying smirk.
“Aww, look at you simping after your square. You’re worse than Simmons.”
Jemma threw a Bananagrams tile at him and the entire conversation dissolved into chaos, to Daisy’s relief. She really didn’t want to have to deal with this any longer. In fact, she managed to go the rest of the day, until the joyous and chaotic goodbyes at the end, without talking about her supposed boyfriend again. Before she made it out the door, Phil pulled her aside.
“Bring Daniel to our pre-Christmas Christmas dinner,” he told her. Before Daisy could protest, he held up a hand. “I know you say it’s just casual, but this is the first guy we’ve seen you go out with in years. I’d like to meet him-- and so would May. And while I realize that’s something of a deterrent, please do it anyway.”
“I’ll talk to him and see what his plans are,” Daisy said hastily, shoving her arms into her coat and giving him a hug. “Gotta go, love you guys, bye! See you in a couple weeks!”
The drive back to her apartment was long and quiet, with plenty of time for Daisy to plot out her plan to handle this situation. She’d tell her family at Christmas that they’d decided to stay just friends, and her quiet but friendly, handsome co-worker would never know a thing about it.
Four days later, the whole thing was derailed.
~ ~ ~
Daniel had never really been sure why his employer, Finian Carr, had decided that he needed to run not only a bakery-juice bar combination, but also a Christmas tree farm. But here they were, and Daniel liked his job. Sure, Finian was a bit eccentric, and his kids were very similar. But it paid well, and there was always an atmosphere of cheerful chaos, which was something Daniel was starting to suspect he gravitated towards.
The bakery, Love Is All You Knead, was already starting to fill up with the morning rush when Daniel started work the Monday after Thanksgiving. Finian was already pumping Christmas music out of the speakers, and Daniel saw the big man in the back, his head bobbing in time to the music as he pulled a tray of muffins out of the oven.
Ducking behind the counter, Daniel grabbed an apron. As he tied it on, one of his co-workers, Piper, shot him a grin. “Happy holidays.”
“If Finian has anything to say about it,” Daniel joked, stepping to the side as a short woman came barrelling past him. “Hey, Daisy.”
Daisy Johnson looked up, her gaze startled as it locked on him. “Oh-- hey, Daniel.” Her startled expression melted into an easy grin as she moved to the cash register next to Piper. “How was your Thanksgiving?”
“Decent enough,” Daniel responded, wondering what had caught her off guard as he spoke. “Turns out my roommate can make a decent turkey, which I wouldn’t have expected. How about you?”
“I spent it with my family, so it was a little chaotic, but fun,” Daisy said, turning to shoot the first customer in line a smile. “Hi, what can I get you?”
As Daniel headed into the kitchen, he spotted Piper directing a smirk towards him, and pointedly ignored it. He was well aware that she and most of his other co-workers thought he should ask out Daisy. He honestly couldn’t say that he hadn’t thought of it. She had a kind of electric energy that drew him to her, with a quick wit and a smile that he always wanted to see.
He hadn’t gotten up the courage yet, although they’d been working together for around ten months at this point. Maybe around New Years, Daniel thought as he got to work helping with the baking.
A few minutes later, Daisy popped into the kitchen. “Daniel, Davis is here-- time for you to mediate.”
“Why am I in charge of him and Piper again?” Daniel asked, his tone making it clear that he wasn’t complaining as he gave her an easy grin.
Her returning smile sent a familiar flutter through his chest, which Daniel determinedly ignored. “Cause you’re the only one who’ll tolerate them.”
“I had a feeling it was something like that,” Daniel joked as he headed out of the kitchen and out to the cash register, where one of their regulars, Davis, was browsing the baked goods and bickering with Piper. The two of them had been best friends for years, and Davis came here with the sole purpose of annoying Piper most days. Piper enjoyed this a little too much, in Daniel and Daisy’s estimations.
“You cannot possibly think that bear claws are superior to eclairs,” Piper was saying with disdain as Daniel moved up next to her to man the other cash register. “That is such an old person thing to say-- which I guess checks out for you.”
“Comparing the two is like comparing apples and something completely disgusting,” Davis argued. “Like coconut.”
“Okay, coconut? This is where I draw the line. Choose something actually gross, like bananas.”
“How are we even friends?”
Daniel tuned the two of them out and went to serve the customer in front of him, making small talk as he bagged up donuts and eclairs. Most of the regulars knew better than to line up behind Davis when he and Piper were talking, and anyone else connected the dots pretty quickly, which led to a steady flow of customers passing through.
As he bid yet another customer farewell, Daniel caught sight of Daisy, restocking the display case and chatting a mile a minute with one of the regulars, Trip. She laughed at something he said, flashing him that brilliant smile of hers, and Daniel felt his heart skip a beat.
And realized he was staring. Hastily, he turned to his next customer, a short woman with a brown ponytail, and gave her a smile. “Hi, how can I help you?”
The woman returned his smile with a degree of enthusiasm that Daniel hadn’t expected. “You’re Daniel, aren’t you?” she asked, her voice holding a British accent and a considerable amount of curiosity.
“That’s me,” Daniel replied, and she beamed.
“Oh, wonderful! I’m Jemma, Daisy’s sister.”
Well, this was more than a little strange. “Nice to meet you,” Daniel said, shaking her proffered hand. “I didn’t know Daisy’s family lived in town.”
“Oh, we don’t exactly,” Jemma said airily. “But Fitz and I decided to take a trip down this way to see Daisy-- and meet you, of course.”
What? Before Daniel could ask why exactly his co-worker’s sister wanted to meet him, she continued, “In any case, I just wanted to say we’re looking forward to having you over for our pre-Christmas dinner in a few weeks. Mack and Yo-Yo are coming, and--”
“Hang on a second-- sorry,” Daniel interrupted, shaking his head. “What are you talking about?”
Jemma frowned. “Well-- didn’t Daisy tell you?”
“Tell me wh--”
“Jemma!”
Daniel turned reflexively at the sound of Daisy’s voice. His co-worker’s eyes were wide as they darted from him to Jemma and back. “Uh-- what are you doing here?”
“Fitz and I are in town,” Jemma said blithely, “and I thought I’d stop in and say hello to you and Daniel.” Leaning towards Daniel, she said in a conspiratorial tone, “You know, it took a lot of prying to get her to tell us about you. But she finally cracked over Thanksgiving. Oh-- don’t take that personally, she can be very private sometimes.”
“Yeah,” Daniel said slowly, his gaze flicking to Daisy. She wore an expression that he could only describe as “oh crap”. “I’ve noticed that.”
Jemma didn’t seem to notice as she added, “Well, I’m sure you’re able to get her to open up, since you’re her--”
“Jemma, can I talk to you real quick?” Daisy cut her off hastily. Not waiting for her sister to agree, she hustled around the counter and all but dragged Jemma into a corner. Daniel looked on, still confused, as they had a brief whispered argument which neither of them seemed to win, and then Jemma, joined by a shorter man with blond-ish hair, was all but shoved out of the bakery.
As she came back around the counter, Daniel lifted an eyebrow at her. “So, what was that about?”
Biting her lip, Daisy didn’t meet his gaze. “Uh. I kinda did something stupid over Thanksgiving. It may kinda have involved you.”
“I’m sure it wasn’t that bad,” Daniel said slowly.
“Oh, it was.” Taking a deep breath, Daisy met his eyes. “I accidentally told my family that we’re dating.”
“I-- what?” Daniel said, completely caught off guard. Of all the things he’d expected her to say, that was definitely not one of them.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Daisy said, which was definitely not true. “How on earth does someone accidentally tell their family that they’re dating someone? It kinda starts when you haven’t properly dated anyone in two or three years and your adopted sister who loves you and wants what’s best for you gets a little too invested in your potential love life. And then you tell them you’re with someone, which doesn’t go the way you want it to at all. Especially when, you know, you give them a random name and it just happens to be the name of one of the two co-workers you’ve actually talked about.” She paused for breath, glancing at Daniel anxiously.
“I guess that answers one of my questions,” Daniel said, because there wasn’t much else a person could say to that. Especially when his brain kept coming up with different reasons she would have chosen his name, of all names.
“I’m sorry,” Daisy said, wincing. “It was stupid, and I really shouldn’t have done it. Don’t worry, I’m gonna fix this. I’ll tell everyone at the pre Christmas dinner that we decided to just be friends, and it’ll all be over.” She started to head back behind the counter.
“Wait,” Daniel blurted out before she could move. Daisy paused, lifting a curious eyebrow at him. “Uh… it’s just, Christmas can’t be a fun time to tell your family you just broke up with your boyfriend,” he said.
“True-- there will be a lot of sympathetic looks,” Daisy said, making a face. “And maybe a few death threats-- I’m starting to think I didn’t think this through.”
Death threats? Daniel wondered, but brushed aside the thought. “Well, then, why deal with it now? We just continue the charade, but this time I actually know what’s going on.”
Daisy’s eyes widened. “Are you… offering to be my fake boyfriend?”
“I guess so, yeah,” Daniel said.
“Okay-- I don’t think you actually know what you’re getting yourself into,” Daisy warned him. “There will be interrogations from multiple members of my family. That includes anything from nosy questions about your life and our relationship, to possibly threats. Probably threats. And that’s just the beginning.”
“Ominous,” Daniel said, “but I’m pretty sure I can handle it. And I don’t have much going on-- when is this happening?”
“Probably next week,” Daisy said.
“Yeah, I’d probably be free,” Daniel said, which was true. His social calendar was far from filled up, other than the odd school function. Pausing, he added, “Well. I’m free if you need me to be. If you think this is a bad idea--”
“No,” Daisy said, cutting him off as she started to smile. “I think it’s a really good idea. There’s probably some stuff we should talk over beforehand--”
Piper's shout cut Daisy off before she could go any farther. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS CLAYNE CRAWFORD'S FAULT??”
Daniel turned to see Piper and Davis arguing, Davis gesticulating wildly as he spoke. Piper’s arms were folded and she glared daggers at her friend. “Oh, boy,” Daniel muttered. “Uh--” he glanced at Daisy.
“We should talk later,” she agreed. “I don’t have your number-- but I think I remember where your apartment is. I could stop by this evening around six?.”
“Sounds good,” Daniel said with a nod. “See you then-- I’d better go before Piper and Davis kill each other over… whatever they’re arguing about.”
“Their favorite tv show, I think,” Daisy observed.
“Good to know,” Daniel said. With that, he hurried over to where Piper and Davis were arguing. It took him a few minutes to diffuse the situation, and by the time he had he’d finally realized that he’d asked Daisy Johnson to come over to his house. Well, this should be interesting, he thought.

Us Against The World
Requested by: Anonymous with #80 from 200 Prompts List: "Let's run away together".
Pairing: Deke x reader
Genre: Angst, Fluff
Characters: Deke, Y/N, Melinda, Daisy, Coulson, Mack, Fitz, Simmons
Words: 1571
Description: When Y/N is captured, Deke races against time to save them. The situation leads him to a sudden realisation.
Bullets were firing at you from all angles. Daisy was across the other side of the base fighting off other in humans. Melinda was down for the count behind you. Panic was beginning to take over your senses as your surroundings were closing in around you. You had no other choice but to surrender to the enemy. Either that, or they kill you. Putting your gun in your holster, you raised your hands up above your head in a surrendering position.
“Stop firing! I surrender! Take me but please leave my friends alone!” “Y/N, what the hell are you doing?!” Dekes panicked voice came through the comms and your heart immediately sunk. You closed your eyes and blinked away the tears that were threatening to fall. Two figures walked towards you and knocked you out with the butt of their gun, whilst another talked through their comms to alert the others of the situation.
One of them picked you up and carried you away towards their ship right before Daisy came running through the corridor. She began to send out blasts towards the enemies but she was too late. Her eyes went wide when she seen your unconscious body in their arms. “Y/N!” She began to run towards the ship but it took off right as she got to the entrance.
She looked around and seen May on the floor, unconscious. Racing to her side, Daisy placed her finger on her comms and sent out a message. “Guys, May’s down. I’ll bring her back with me but…. They’ve got Y/N.” Her head hng low as those last words came out of her mouth. She gathered May in her arms and carried her out of the base.
Tumblr media
On the other side of the comms Deke was walking back and forth across the ships floor, the severity of the situation completely taking over his senses. “Why would Y/N give herself up like that? How could she let that happen to herself?!” He began raking his hands through his hair, frustration and panic evident on his face.
Coulson stepped forward and placed a calming hand on his shoulder. “I’m sure she had a good reason for doing what she did. The main thing that we need to do now is find her and take out those HYDRA agents.” Deke nodded his head and took a deep breath to calm himself. He needed to keep a level head if he wanted to save you.
Daisy and May soon returned to the ship, a little battered and bruised, but they were OK. May had woken up and was raring to go, as usual. Coulson gathered the whole team and began to talk through the plan. Luckily, your suit had a tracking implant in it, so Fitz and Simmons easily found your location. The team gathered their gear whilst Mack flew the ship to your location.
As Deke was readying up, his thoughts began to wander. He didn’t want to live this life anymore, a life where you could easily get hurt, or worse. He wanted to keep you safe and protect you from the dangers of the world. He understood that you loved being able to save the world, but if this has taught him anything it’s that life is too precious. He wanted to make the most of his life with you. You are the most important thing to him and he wanted to keep you with him, always. Once he made his final decision, he marched towards Coulson and whispered the plan in his ear. Coulson looked Deke straight in his eyes with a disappointed look but also understanding why Deke was doing this.
With Coulson’s approval, Deke sat down and waited to march into battle to save the woman that he loved.
 
Tumblr media
Screams erupted from your body as the agent pierced your skin once again. Wounds and bruises littered your skin as your torture continued. They wanted information on Coulson and SHIELD’s plans, but you were never going to give them what they wanted.
“WHERE IS COULSON?!” The agent twisted the knife that was lodged in your shoulder which caused you to whimper in pain. You took a deep breath to mask the pain and looked the agent dead in the eyes. “Go fuck yourself!” The agent raised his hand and slapped you across the face, causing your head to whip to the side. The agent marched back towards the tray of torture devices and grabbed a large pair of scissors and placed them against your fingers.
“Is your team really worth all this pain? Are you willing to lose your fingers for them?” “I’m willing to lose my life for them.” He began closing the scissor blades on your finger, streams of blood erupting from your skin, however gunfire interrupted his concentration and he whipped around to the sound of the commotion. “This isn’t over.” He rammed your gag back into your mouth and ran towards the entrance of the room, gun cocked towards the door.
The doors flew open and in walked Daisy and Deke. Daisy took care of the agent whilst Deke ran straight over to you, guilt all over his face. “Oh baby, what did they do to you?” He took the gag out of your mouth and cradled your face with his hands. You leaned into his touch and let out the tears that you had been holding on to.
Deke leaned his forehead against yours and kissed your lips softly. “You’re ok now, we’re here. I’m here. Nothings ever going to happen to you again.” He turned his attention to your bonds, careful not to injure you anymore. Gently, he picked you up in his arms and carried you out of the HYDRA base, the rest of the team following close behind. In between this, you fell unconscious from the amount of blood that you lost and the severity of your injuries.
 
Tumblr media
You woke up in the medical bay of the SHIELD ship. You looked around frantically but soon calmed down when you noticed Deke sitting beside you, sound asleep and grasping your hand tight. With your other hand, you ran your fingers through his hair to wake him up. Groggily he sat up and smiled when he seen you staring back at him.
“Hey princess, how you feeling?” “A little sore, but I’ll live.” Deke’s smile faded and was replaced with a serious expression, very uncommon for him. “Yeah, Y/N, but it could have been much worse. You could have died! What were you thinking giving yourself up like that?”
Your head tilted downwards a little. “I wanted to protect my team. We were surrounded. The only way to keep them safe was surrendering myself. It was the only way.”
“No, it wasn’t the only way! You could have called for backup! You didn’t need to put yourself in harms way for the team! Your life is worth more than that!” Your head shot up, an angry look on your face. “Well, what was I supposed to do? Let them kill us all?! Let them kill you?! I wasn’t going to let that happen! I love you too much to lose you!” Deke pressed his lips against yours, pouring all of his emotions into it.
Pulling away, he cradled your face in his hands and caressed your cheek with his thumb. “I love you to, Y/N, which is why I think we should leave the team. Let’s run away together, to a place far away. You will never have to put yourself in harms way ever again. I don’t think I could go through this again, watching the woman that I love sacrifice herself. Please, let’s get away from all this and start a normal life. Get married, have children, grow old together. That’s all I want.”
You stayed silent for a few minutes and let Deke’s words sink in. “Ok, Deke. Let’s go, right now.” Immediately, his face lit up with happiness. He placed a soft kiss on top of your head before running off somewhere unknown.
 
Tumblr media
You and Deke were standing hand-in-hand in front of the whole team, bags at the bottom of your feet. All eyes were on the both of you, confused and inquisitive. “Alright guys, we have some big news.” You took a deep breath to calm your nerves. “Me and Deke have decided to leave the team. If the recent situation has taught us anything, it’s that life is too short. I nearly died on the last mission and I can’t risk my life anymore. I want to be able to live out the rest of my life with the man that I love. I hope you guys can understand this.”
The rest of the team looked at each other before looking back at you with large smiles on their faces. “of course we understand, Y/N. What you did for us was extrodianary and we cannot thank you enough for everything.”
They walked towards you both and engulfed you into a group hug. Tears were spilled and smiles were given before it was time for you and Deke to depart to your new life. To say you weren’t scared was an understatement, but you were also excited for what your new life was going to bring.

Chapter 10 - Trained Professionals
TW: guns, bullet wounds, blood
Tag list: @whatwasmyprevioususername @milk-carton-whump @whumpasaurus101 @whatwhumpcomments @mnmlover2002 @ashintheairlikesnow
-
Charlie was woken up the next morning by a tray being tossed next to his mat. He looked up to see a solider, looking extremely annoyed.
"Eat quickly," he ordered.
Charlie glared at him as he slowly rose to a sit. He slid the tray closer and ate the meager portion of toast and grapes. As soon as he picked up the last grape, the solider ripped the tray from his hands and left the room.
"God," Charlie mumbled to himself.
He forced his aching body to stand. He walked to the bathroom and splashed water on his face and into his mouth before deciding to take a bath. He ran the water and slipped into its warmth, the heat soothing his body. He leaned his head back against the wall, and accidentally drifted off.
Water entering his nose caused him to jerk awake. He began splashing violently, only stopping when he realized he was alone. He held his face in his hands as he tried to calm down.
Once he had control of his breathing, he got out of the tub. It was then he noticed a towel and a fresh set of clothes were on the shelf above the toilet. He didn't remember anyone coming in, and he wondered how they got there. Nonetheless, he was grateful. He dried off and swiped on cheap deodorant before he got dressed.
He sat on his mat with the blanket draped over his legs. His head was doing better than last night, but a dull throbbing still remained. The bruises on his skin had darkened into a deep purple. He avoided looking in the mirror, especially at his face. He remembered last night and his stomach tightened. Before, he hoped Mallory would remember it, but now, he wasn't so sure.
A few hours passed and lunch was brought to him. This time, when the solider entered with his tray, he stopped just after entering the room. Charlie looked at him quizzically, but upon closer inspection, he realized that he looked familiar.
"Charlie," he breathed.
He sprinted toward him, dropping the tray just before picking Charlie up and pulling him into a tight hug. Charlie whimpered, his bruises getting pressed on, but he returned the hug.
"Deke," Charlie said, "I'm so happy to see you, but-"
"I'm getting you out of here," Deke said, pulling his mask down to his chin.
"They know what you look like," Charlie said.
"How?"
"They have you on camera taking some file."
"Oh... shit."
Deke rubbed his hand over his mouth as he thought.
"You need to leave. Please, before they find out you're here," Charlie said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You kidding me? I'm not leaving without you guys," Deke said.
"Do you have a plan?" Charlie asked.
"I've been working on a plan since day one. Look, I have access to the gun locker. It's not far from where the others are. I'm going to grab some guns, then bust into the room. The hallway leads us straight out to the helipad."
"That... could work," Charlie said.
"I know it's risky, but I've been weighing the options and it looks like our only chance."
"When do you plan to do this?"
"Now."
Charlie's eyes went wide.
"Now?"
"Yes, it's meal time and most of them are in the chow hall. There's no traffic in the hallway. We can do this, Charlie."
Charlie looked around the room for a moment before nodding.
"Okay. Let's do it."
They walked toward the door. Deke handed Charlie a pistol and stuck his head outside. He made the hand signal for "clear", and they began making their way toward the gun locker. He was right, the hall was empty. They made it to the locker and slipped inside unnoticed. Deke grabbed two M16s and a few extra magazines. Charlie grabbed his own M16 and shoved two magazines into his sweat pockets. Once they were set, Deke peaked out the door again. They made it to the room without incident.
"Ready?" Deke asked.
Charlie nodded.
He kicked in the door and quickly stabbed the guarding solider in the throat before he could make a sound.
“Deke?" Adrian said.
"Come on," Deke said as he took the keys from the soldier's vest pocket, "we don't have much time."
He quickly unlocked everyone's handcuffs. He handed a gun to Crow and Adrian, and Charlie handed the pistol to Ethan. They filed out of the room, guns at the ready, and followed Deke down the hall.
"There's the door," Deke said, motioning straight ahead.
A shot was fired. Adrian fell. He stumbled back to his feet, limping.
"Keep going," he said.
Another shot was fired and screamed past Charlie's head.
"Stop!" Someone yelled from behind.
Crow turned around and walked backwards as he fired off a couple rounds. Charlie did the same, managing to hit someone. He saw the trail of blood that Adrian was leaving behind, but kept his focus. They made it out the door. A helicopter was waiting less than 50 yards away.
Deke switched to a sprint, making it to the helicopter before the rest of the team so he could start up the engine. It roared to life and the blades began to spin. Bullets flew past and hit the helicopter with a "tink".
Charlie lagged behind, his energy sparse to begin with. He stopped behind some barrels for cover as he fired back.
"Charlie, let's go!" Crow yelled.
The rest of the team was on the helicopter. Charlie inched back, still firing. He turned back toward the team and waved them off.
"Go!" He yelled.
"No, get your ass on here, now!" Crow yelled back.
"There's too many of them. You'll get shot down!"
A bullet just barely missed Charlie's arm, forcing him to sink down to a crouch. Bullets rained upon the side of the helicopter. Deke lifted it into the air slightly.
"Last chance! Get the FUCK over here, that is an order!"
Charlie looked back and waved them off again. Deke pulled up, about ten feet off the ground. Crow jumped out and landed with a roll. He sprinted over to Charlie and took cover behind some stacked crates. He waved off the helicopter.
"Charlie, I'm going to fucking kill you," he said, barely heard over the gunfire.
Charlie ignored him and continued to fire back. More soldiers pooled from inside, firing at the helicopter as it left. Charlie shot his last bullet and dropped the gun. Crow continued to fire, picking off a few more of the men before running out of ammo. The helicopter was at a safe enough distance to escape.
The gunfire stopped. Charlie put his hands into the air and slowly rose up. Crow walked out from behind the crates with his arms in the air. A few soldiers approached, guns ready. They kicked Charlie down to his knees and roughly put his arms together with zip ties. They forced him to his feet again, shoving him and Crow back into the building. They passed numerous bodies, blood pooling out of them onto the floor.
They then entered an elevator.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Crow spat.
"You know damn well that we would've been shot down if I hadn't drawn their fire," Charlie shot back.
"Shut up," a soldier hissed, hitting Charlie in the back with his rifle.
The elevator doors opened and they were marched down a hallway. They entered a room labeled "CONFERENCE" and inside was a long table. Mallory was sitting on the end of it, facing away from the door.
Charlie and Crow were thrown to their knees at the other end of the room. The air was thick with tension as Mallory slowly stood from the table and turned around. He shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed.
"Really?"
Charlie and Crow looked at each other.
"You really thought that would work?"
"It did," Charlie said, "three of us got out."
Mallory rubbed his temples.
"If that's what you consider a success, then I'll let you have that one," he said, "because they don't matter. You two, on the other hand, are much more of my concern. I'll tell you what- I'm not even mad. In fact, I'm more upset with the complete lack of competence within my own ranks."
The soldiers in the room shifted uncomfortably.
"There's going to be some changes around here," Mallory said, "but for now, return them to where they belong. My head hurts far to much to deal with them right now."
Crow and Charlie were walked out of the room. They went back down the elevator, and were separated at a fork in the hallway. Charlie was lead back to his room. The zip ties were cut off and he was left alone again.
He collapsed onto his mat, breathing heavily. The adrenaline began to wear off and the aching in his muscles returned. He couldn’t stay still; he was determined to find a position that didn’t hurt to lie in. Eventually, frustration got the best of him and he settled on his back. Tears of defeat formed in his eyes and he did his best to fight them back.
Adrian, Ethan, and Deke are safe. That’s what matters.
Adrian was hit in the lower part of his leg. Ethan would easily manage to take care of it. He would be fine. Hopefully, they would make it home, or at least somewhere safe soon. He wished Crow would have stayed on the helicopter, so that he would be safe, too.
Exhaustion took over and he fell asleep again. He wasn’t brought dinner, which meant he was able to sleep for a longer period. He wasn’t really hungry, anyway. He spent the rest of the night curled up on his mat.
Morning came, and he woke up just before breakfast. He dragged himself into the bathroom and drank water from the faucet. Soon after, breakfast arrived. He held his arms out to grab the tray from the solider, but the solider hesitated.
“Don’t know if I want to give this to you,” he said.
Charlie stared at him.
“You killed my friend, you know.”
“That’s the risk you take when you sign up for this shit,” Charlie snapped.
The solider threw the tray at him, then splashed the glass of water in his face. He picked up the tray and acted like he was going to hit Charlie with it, before deciding against it and leaving the room.
Charlie sighed and wiped his face with the blanket. He picked the blueberries off the floor and ate them, then the toast which had landed in his lap. After he ate, he grabbed a towel from the bathroom to soak up the water on his mat. He tossed the towel across the room after he finished and sat on the mat.
A few minutes went by and the door opened again. In walked two soldiers. They approached Charlie and ordered him to stand up before handcuffing him. It was an all too familiar feeling.
They took him down the hall and up the same elevator as yesterday. This time, instead of stopping on the second floor, they went to the top. The hallway was much shorter, and they were soon at a door. One of them knocked, and Mallory opened it. Inside appeared to be a small apartment. It barely looked lived in with how tidy it was. The soldiers took Charlie inside, then left, leaving him alone with Mallory.
“This your space?” Charlie asked.
“Yeah. Sit,” Mallory said, pulling out a chair from the table.
Charlie took a seat as he looked around. The smell of bergamot filled the air; a candle was lit on the counter in the kitchenette. Mallory sat in a chair across from Charlie. He leaned back and folded his arms.
“I’m sick of being here,” he said.
“You’re sick of being here?” Charlie scoffed.
“Yes. I’m going back home for a few days,” Mallory said.
“Oh no, I’m so sad,” Charlie replied sarcastically.
“Well, don’t be, because you’re coming with.”

I swear to God if you tracked blood into my house again, I'm going -
HunterWard or KasiusDeke
You have given me a gift, nonny, and I love you. I chose KasDeke because fuck yes!
It was a warm night, the air heavy with moisture, and Deke was sweaty as he dug around in the garden for the spare key. He had to keep one hand pressed into the wound on his shoulder, so his searching was a little hindered. Finally, he brushed the little metal key tucked at the base of some bluebells.
“Ahh, there you are.”
He followed the path back to the side entrance, and let himself in. Sinara, a beautiful black cat with wide blue eyes, sat waiting for him, always aware when he was approaching the house. He took out a couple cat treats from his jacket picket and set them down. She let out a happy beep at him as she went to meet them. It was a habit now, and he’d started keeping cat treats in his car for exactly this, for when he visited the Kasius house.
“That’s my girl,” he said, and scratched behind her ear lovingly. “I hope your dad’s not home. He’d make me go to the hospital.”
She meowed at him as he headed further into the house, straight to the downstairs hall closet where Kas kept his medical bag. Deke knew enough triage medicine from the streets growing up in order to keep himself alive, but he never actually had the supplies to do it, and he was regularly hooking up with a doctor. He knew where he could get the supplies now without getting pestered by doctors at a hospital.
Except, he tripped and had to catch himself on the wall. He was sure that he’d left a smear of blood that he’d have to clean up before he left.
“Fuck,” he groaned, and then a light flicked on in the upstairs hallway. “Double fuck.”
“Deke?” Kasius called down the stairs. “Is that you down there, babe?”
“Unfortunately,” he replied with a groan.
“Deke, I swear to God if you tracked blood into my house again, I'm going -” He hurried down the stairs towards him, and turned on the light so Deke, and his bloodied body, were illuminated, pausing Kasius and his sentence for a moment. “Oh my god, you literally tracked blood into my house! Is that -”
“My blood, yeah. It’s just a little gunshot.”
“You were shot?
“Just, just a little.”
“Deke! You should go to the hospital!”
“I came to a doctor, that’s as good as you’re going to get from me.”
“Deke,” he sighed, stepping up to him. “Please, the hospital -”
“I don’t have insurance yet, babe. I can’t afford to go to the hospital without absolutely destroying my future.”
“Okay,” Kasius said sadly. “But if anything goes wrong or it’s more serious than it looks, I’m taking you. Is that understood?”
“Fine, but you’re paying for my bills, Daddy Warbucks.”
“Do you need a sugar daddy, Deke?”
“Maybe,” Deke sighed as Kasius took his hand and stopped at the hall closet for his bag. “I don’t know. I would make a very cute sugar baby at the very least.”
“You would.”
Deke laughed, and was led into the bathroom, the lighting bright enough that Kasius could examine him.
“I’m going to help you out of your shirt, okay?”
“I can’t raise my arm.”
“Are you okay with me cutting it off you, then?”
“Do it. I don’t care about it.”
Kas pulled out a pair of scissors, and carefully cut away the shirt from his chest then up his sleeve as he could pull it away.
“Okay, let’s see what’s going on here,” Kas said softly. He looked Deke over, and paused as he pressed the stethoscope into his chest, listening to his heart.
This wasn’t the first time that he’d come to Kasius after some trouble at the club he owned, and he was a little scared that if he kept showing up like this, Kasius would stop wanting him around.
Then, Kasius looked up at him, eyes soft.
“Do I need to hire a bodyguard to keep you safe?” he asked.
“No,” Deke grumbled.
“Then, stop getting hurt, Deke.”
He set the stethoscope down and took out his suture kit.
“It’s not my fault people carry guns and don’t like me.”
“You need to be more careful, okay? It’s not good to get shot.”
“Gee, thanks. I figured that one out,” Deke grumbled, and started to move away from him when he caught Deke’s hips.
“I’m sorry. I’m just worried that you won’t come back one of these times, that they won’t get your shoulder, or your thigh. You’ll be dying and I can’t do anything to help you.”
“You’re not annoying that I keep asking for help?”
“Of course not! I’m a doctor, Deke. It’s my job and my choice to help people, and I want you to come to me for this. I want you to always come home to me.”
“You what?” Deke asked.
“Oh. Uh. No, I mean -”
“Ambrose, do you have feelings for me?”
Kasius paused and looked at him steadily, gazing down at him. Deke had always had a thing for tall men, and Ambrose Kasius was no different. He was tall, and handsome, and had soft hands, a doctor’s touch. Deke wasn’t used to being treated with softness, and he wasn’t quite sure how to react to it sometimes.
“Yes,” he finally said. “I know you aren’t big on relationships, because of your ex, and I get that, but -”
“You want to be in a relationship with me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because no one has ever treated you the right way and that is a damn shame.”
“What.”
“Come here,” Kasius said and pulled him close. “I’m going to get you patched up and resting, but tomorrow, I’m going to wine and dine you so good, you’ll never doubt that I want to date you. I want you here every night, and to wake up with you safe and sound with me. This arrangement we had, sleeping together, no strings attached, that’s fine, but I do have actual feelings for you, so if you want it too, I’d love to take you out to dinner and maybe never have you leave.”
“And you’re sure that you actually want me?”
Kasius kissed him.
“You,” he agreed. “It’s always been you.”
“And we could have been dating this entire time?”
“Yeah.”
Deke grabbed him with his good hand, yanking him back in for another kiss.
“Okay,” Deke said into his mouth. “Yeah, I want that. All of that. I don’t want to leave. Actually, I love you, and -”
Kasius surged forward for a kiss this time.
“I have to fix you up, but once you’re stitched up, I’m taking you to bed and showing you exactly how much I love you, too.”
“Is that a good idea with a gunshot wound?”
“I’ll do all the work, and besides, an orgasm is an extremely effective pain and stress reliever.”
“Oh, is it?” Deke chuckled.
“Mmmhm. Would you like to test it out?”
“I would,” Deke said, looking into Kasius’ eyes. “I really, really would.”

questions that i've got plagued in my mind about daisy x sousa (and aos in general) post-season 7
do they...do they live in the lighthouse or do they have their own apartments? or maybe they moved in together?
when would their anniversary be? like when did they get together officially?
did sousa get more shovel talks? from fitz and coulson and may and jemma and basically daisy's entire family?
did fitz fanboy about daniel sousa the way jemma would fangirl if peggy carter joined their team? did he see the probability of sousa joining them as a high probability or was it just a slim chance?
would coulson ask sousa about the ssr and his early days in shield?
did they reunite with bobbi and hunter?
does daisy finally come clean about the time loops? would coulson tell them about the time loops that only he remembers?
where would they go for their first date? would they go on a first date?? would daisy ask him out or would sousa broach the topic first?
is sousa close with kora? do they have inside jokes about being people out of time? is he like someone she would look up to, after daisy?
do you think fitz would reprogram enoch so that he could exist again? like some sort of J.A.R.V.I.S or F.R.I.D.A.Y? like maybe an AI of some sort? or just essentially make him into an LMD?
would daisy and sousa go on double dates with fitzsimmons and have coulson and may babysit alya?
would fitzsimmons find a way to communicate with deke?
how domestic are daisy and sousa? like would they go on dates in between missions? do they like cuddle on the couch watching movies? would daisy be comfortable with just saying 'love you' every day or would she be the one who tease sousa for openly saying it to her?
i hope may and coulson find their way back to each other. and man i hope coulson wouldnt power off until like all his kids have kids and if he doesnt wanna see his kids and friends die one by one, then just maybe wait til they grow old and grey? and hopefully nobody will die on missions, especially daisy, sousa, kora, yo-yo, piper.
they have access to the quinjets right? so technically daisy and sousa can just fly off to scotland every weekend right?
did mack and yoyo adopt flint? i hope they do. and flint and alya become cousins. right? right?
also can someone please make a spin-off already?? i dont care if it's the astro ambassadors or the deke squad or the fitzsimmons fam or the academy or coulson's adventures or the mc hammer director life. heck why not fast forward to a time when they're all retired and have a sitcom where they sit around and talk and laugh. something like friends or himym or the big bang theory. cuz i miss the aos fam and i just want to see them living a happy life together. is that too much to ask??????
and and andddd daisy and sousa is endgame right? so that means that they'll stay together, like together together til the end of their lives basically, right? and mack and yoyo tooo? and ofcourse thank goodness fitzsimmons will too. right?
i know the show has been over for like half a year but i hope it lives on forever. i hope more people will keep finding it and loving it. and even though im not ready to rewatch it all because they keep hurting daisyyy, i will one day. and i cant wait til i go through the rollercoaster that is agents of shield again. im glad they had a happy ending that's bittersweet and shows that life goes on. but i just wanna see it. the happy side of it. not the ending part. so u know...something like a soft epilogue like i mentioned above. anywayyyyyy this had been such a ramble of a post. i know it's what fanfiction is for, to speculate and write our own story with these characters and what we wanna see. but honestly i just want these to be cannon.

AoS finale thoughts that no one asked for...
1. Elizabeth's ACTING.
Her blank looks and confused stares at information/all of the people she's known for years. The comedy, her wanting a costume for protection. The stream of random babbling that was very important nonsense. The moment she remembered Alya and she reached for her stomach. Their reunion. Just everything.
2. Alya.
I knew just from that one look from Iain De Caesteker when he was trying to get Jemma to remember and she said the star name Alya that it was their daughter's name. Just one look. World class actors on this show. All of them.
3. Deke.
At first I was mad. Very mad. Not because he was left behind but because of the way it was treated. Like he didn't matter, like a joke. I'm still a little mad about it. But I'm focusing on him rather than the team. Because look at where he started vs where he ended and I think Deke's character arc was so well done. We saw all of the work. We saw selfish OG straight from the future Deke, we saw the Deke who thought he had a place with the team and a family get left behind again. We saw him go through his issues and learn from them to get to "I don't give up on my friends". He sold out the team, his instincts were always to look out for himself, they had to be in his world. Given the chance to grow and be a part of a family, he gladly and willingly gave up everything for them all. It wasn't even a question in his mind, their happiness over his. That ladies and gentlemen is character growth and I love one Agent Deke Shaw 🍋
4. Mack/ Yoyo
I screamed SO LOUD when they showed Mack on the helicarrier. I love Mack. He was always the best choice for Director. Also, Uncle Mack sending presents? Yes, please. Protector Mack laughing with Sousa and then questioning his intentions with Daisy. Love the Director. That final scene when Yoyo just peaced out of a moving vehicle just like byeeee after asking for videos of Alya swimming? Unphased badass queen. I love their relationship so much because it's so solid. They aren't the ones who get constantly torn apart and its not big and dramatic, that's not who they are. They both put their jobs before themselves because they love to help other people. Their relationship is an accumulation all of those little things you see them do for each other and I think it's beautiful.
5. May/Coulson
Honestly? Unpopular opinion but I was happy with their ending. In my head, I never considered a relationship between May and LMD Coulson. Coulson died. May had whatever time with him in Tahiti and she mourned him and said goodbye. Then Sarge came along and stabbed her. May doesn't need anyone. She is not a relationship. She loved Coulson and they had their time together but he died. I was honestly surprised to see the backlash? Having a romantic relationship with a robot...not healthy. What happens when she ages and he stays the same lmd Coulson? May had to move forward and she did. I lived for the moment that she owned the Calvary name.
6. Daisy
Not to braggg but I called Daisy/Sousa before the season even started. It was the easiest way to give Daisy a relationship with a character that we were all already emotionally invested in. It takes time that the writers didn't have to establish a whole new character that would be good enough for Daisy and Sousa was...recently available. I love them together. But more importantly, Daisy/Chloe Bennet crushed it. The fight scenes, the emotions, the subtlety. PERFECT. Daisy calling Coulson, AC? I lost it. She was so afraid to lose her family but it just got bigger and her face at the end 😊
I wish there was a bus kids scene. Or Daisy's reaction to Fitzsimmons having a kid. It also perturbed me about FitzSimmons retiring completely, except Simmons seemed to be secretly not? That was weird to me. Was she still working because she is an extraordinarly intelligent person who probably wouldn't do well with nothing to apply her brain to for the next 40-50 years of her life, and keeping it a secret from Fitz? Which is not in character at all? Did I misread that scene? BUT overall, I think they did a pretty good job of wrapping up all of the storylines while still leaving it open ended enough for more.

Okay, so I am feeling a little more even keeled today, which I'm glad of because it really was a wonderful series finale overall and I want to be able to enjoy that. But I'm also still feeling very much beaten down and hopeless, and I think it's very reasonable and understandable I, and potentially any other Deke fans, feel that way. I'll need time to let my heart heal to the point where this pain doesn't overshadow the parts of the finale I loved. And that's okay. Please let people be sad about things they wish had happened or had been different. Unless they are specifically requesting it, please consider not trying to get others to cheer up or glossing over the disappointing parts. Just because you're sad about some things, doesn't mean that diminishes the joy you feel over other things, or vice versa. It's okay to acknowledge both.
With that said, a list of things I'm hurting fiercely over:
Deke's ending was rushed. The only goodbye we saw was with Mack. We didn't see a goodbye between him and Fitz. And Jemma didn't even properly know who she was saying goodbye to.
His 'sacrifice' was not necessary. We were never given any indication or rationale for why one of the team had to stay behind in the other timeline. For all we know, they could have hooked everything up and had one of the other timeline's agents in that bar push the button from that end.
I don't think it brought Deke's story full circle. He started out being capable of sacrificing himself for others, yes. But his story ending in the same manner does not a full circle make--that is much too stagnant of a conclusion for a character with so much development and growth. We already knew he would be willing to do that, we've seen him do it multiple times now. We know he would do anything to help and protect his friends and family. That's not new or something that needed to be 'built up' to culminate in his staying behind. Deke had nothing to prove in that regard. What would have been new and earned would be for Deke to volunteer but the others to acknowledge that he's sacrificed enough and it is his turn to have someone looking out and willing to sacrifice something for him.
Deke has done so much for the team, we know how much they mean to him, but did we ever see how much they care about him? For me, the answer to that question is a definite no. I think it is a very great shame we never saw anyone say or communicate through action to him, "Hey, I care a lot about you, and I need you in my life."
It was good to see Mack recognize Deke's loyalty and dedication towards his friends, but the team also made several jokes at his expense during last night's episodes, and so I am left once again with very little solid evidence that the team cares about him. They can't treat him for the most part like a joke or a nuisance and then claim to 'miss' him. 'Little weirdo' could be considered a genuine, if unusual, term of affection if they hadn't had Daisy twice act like rescuing him was barely an after thought in the previous episode!
The statement Fitz made about the group never going to be in the same room together again is presumably true because Deke will never be with them again. Yes, it's safe to assume Deke will continue to thrive at adapting to his strange new circumstances as he always does, but he will forever be apart from the people he loves most in the world (any of the team's doppelgangers--minus Daisy since she will never be born in that timeline--he may meet will not be anywhere close to 'his' versions of them) and I can only imagine how painful that will be for him to endure. And for the team, even given how poorly they have been shown to regard Deke, his separation from them is, in effect, as though he were dead, and none of them seemed very torn up about that prospect or reality.
In time I plan to adopt the headcanon that Deke or Fitzsimmons found a way to retrieve him to the original timeline where he will be the best uncle to Alya in existence, but I don't personally feel that was implied by the show. Instead, I feel like Jemma's comment about maybe seeing him again someday was in reference to his possibly still being Alya's son in this timeline too. And again, we were not given any reason to believe that is likely to be the case, and even if it is, that will be a very different Deke. If our Deke forever remains in the other timeline, Jemma never got to say goodbye to him and it hurts that she and Fitz did not seem very bothered by that. She bonded with our Deke, and she'll love Alya's Deke if that comes to pass, but they are not the same.
For me, what would have felt like a full circle ending for Deke is if Deke, who last saw his mother when he was a child, got to meet his mother when she is still a child, and he is able to see her grow up and live a free and happy life. So as I said, I'm choosing to believe that Deke finds his way back to her by the time she is nine (or before, I'm not picky). But for now, my heart is broken and very, very heavy.
