you know, for Daisy, getting hurt by Fitz really changed her. She becomes quieter about her own pain, in some ways humbler and smaller than she was before.

Okay so Fitz is my favorite character, but I actually don't have strong opinions about The Devil Complex

I just realized I’ve misunderstood something fundamental about May. This whole time I’ve been treating her as if she genuinely doesn’t need anybody’s validation when it comes to the action she took in Bahrain, like all the validation she needs is her own (and maybe Coulson’s). I was probably projecting there.
Anyway, that one line in 2x17 says it all. “Sometimes that’s the price of doing the right thing: no one will understand. And it hurts like hell.” She does care about how others perceive her actions, she just fights so hard to keep it under wraps. She even wanted Ward’s approval back in season 1: “You don’t always have to assume the worst of me.” She cares so much. She just knows she can’t crave or seek approval because it’s in the past and there’s no changing it. Her writing is so tight.

Spoiler for S05 E22
I mean I knew that "Fitz" was gonna die in this episode and still it hurt like hell. I also knew that Coulson wouldn't be saved and I still cried.
Now I try to imagine what it's must have been like for people watching back then when nobody knew what would be coming next. When people had to wait ONE YEAR to learn how the story continues, if Fitz will be there, what about Deke, how does May get back on board, and so on and so on.

5 weeks later...
Leo sat down on the couch with his caffeine-free tea and book. He hadn’t much to do these days, considering he knocked stuff over whenever he tried to help in the lab and was more of a menace than anything. It made him feel like he just got in the way, which wasn’t anything new. Ward would be off on missions, and Fitz stayed on the Bus, reading by himself. He did enjoy the alone time, but maybe not this much of it. Leo overthought about something going wrong with the birth, his Alpha leaving him. It was as if a little anxiety mosquito was flying through his brain, wreaking havoc. The scientist’s phone buzzed, knocking him out of his trance. He cursed at it, picking it up off the marble table and seeing it was his boyfriend. The Omega grinned beside himself, pressing accept on the video call. Fitz held the rectangle before his face, trying to get a good angle. 
“Leo! Hi!” Grant breathed out, ecstatic to see his partner. 
“Ah! Hi! I’ve missed you! How did the mission go?” Ward was undercover for two weeks, with communication limited to only the Hub. Leo missed him desperately, nearly heartbroken every time he woke up and Grant wasn’t there. He was used to falling asleep with his Alpha curled around him. 
“It went great! Well, mostly great. I was fine up until the end. Found me out.” The brunette shrugged. “Got the stuff, though.” Grant looked away from the screen momentarily before holding up a finger. “Be right back, babe. Gimme a sec.” He then put Leo on mute and put the phone face up by his side. Fitz peered up at him as his boyfriend talked to someone who looked like... Leo thought about it for a minute, wracking his brain.
Victoria Hand! That’s who it is. Leo smiled at himself, proud he could recognize faces. 
Before long, Ward was talking to him again, telling him he would be back soon. “Okay, I have to go. Get rest! Love you, bye Leo! Bye, baby!” 
Leo reciprocated, waving as he hung up. He hugged his growing bump, sighing in contentment.
-
“Bye, baby, huh? Does Grant Ward have a new sweetheart?” 
Ward felt a shiver go down his spine. He turned, face to face, with John Garrett, his old S.O. 
Grant plastered on a fake smirk and stood up taller. “Heh, yeah. The bitch doesn’t know what she’s getting into.” It’s bad enough now Garrett knows he is in a relationship; he doesn’t need to know ‘she’ is a male Omega, that Omega is Leo Fitz, and that ‘baby’ is the pup they are expecting together. 
The Alpha laughed, clapping him on the shoulder and rather forcefully leading the other man into a private office. They sat down, John behind his desk and Ward across from him. A wistful grin spread on Garrett’s ugly face. “So, how’s it going with Coulson’s team? They still believe you’re S.H.I.E.L.D.?” 
Grant nodded, wondering how he was going to get through this. “Yep. No one suspects a thing.”
His old mentor laughed, “Bunch of gullible sons of bitches, aren’t they? God, I can only imagine their stupid little faces when they find out their agency has been Hydra for years.” The man propped his feet up on the desk, looking at Ward to say something more. 
Grant winced internally at the insult to people he had been beginning to see as family. “Yeah, especially those puny little scientists I’m locked up with. I bet they’ll be all, ‘You betrayed me, Grant!’” The younger Alpha finished in a whiney tone, rolling his eyes. 
“Ah, first name basis, huh? It’s good to make it personal. Hurts more for ’em.” Garrett seemed impressed, and Ward preened under his praise. Even if he disliked the man, he did get the brunette out of jail and into “S.H. I.E.L.D.”
The older Alpha leaned forward on the desk, gesturing for the other to do the same. “Alright, Ward, you remember me telling you about Project Insight, right? ” 
Grant nodded, sipping on a small coffee he had bought from the cafeteria. “Three helicarriers, eliminate possible threats, Zola’s algorithm.”
“Well, instead of using the helicarriers for S.H.I.E.L.D.’s benefit, Hydra’s going to use them to eliminate possible future threats to us, such as the President, Nick Fury, and those annoying Avengers.”
Ward is speechless. “Wow, that’s... fucking amazing. When does it launch?” 
“You’ll know,” Garrett responds, smug. 
--
Skye slid into the car next to Ward; Phil and May were up front, talking amongst themselves. She pulled out her phone, browsing through her Rising Tide feed. The phone vibrated, and a notification popped up.
ward bored
Whatcha lookin’ at?
Skye Bye
rising tide
Skye glanced at Grant’s phone, seeing an ultrasound picture. The father-to-be was smiling softly at it before scrolling right, now a picture of a sleeping Leo hugging his bump. He swiped again, a selfie of Ward and Fitz eating dinner, the Omega drifting off on his shoulder. 
Skye Bye
you guys are so cute together
It took a moment before the Alpha responded, still gazing at the picture. 
ward bored
ik
whats happening with... you know
Skye Bye
a big fat turd
she doesn’t like me back
ward bored
AHA
ya, right
you should see the way she looks at you, babes
Skye Bye
okay, but, like, I don’t wanna ask and then have her say no
ward bored
I could get Leo to ask
Skye Bye
meh
Coulson pulled into the Bus’s cargo bay and cut off the engine. The older pair left immediately, heading upstairs. Ward and Skye stayed in the car, talking. 
“Do you actually think she would say yes if I asked her out?” The Beta asked, worrisome. 
Grant grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking some sense into her. “Yes! The only reason Leo and I got together was because I made a move. I mean, you know him.” They both looked ahead into the lab, Leo and Jemma laughing about something. 
“Come on,” Grant said, unbuckling his seatbelt and exiting the vehicle. Skye followed him as he headed straight into the open doors.  
He walked in, sneaking up on Leo to wrap his arms around the shorter man. Fitz nearly jumped out of his skin, turning around to kick the intruder in the balls. Ward doubled over, hands covering his privates, his face full of pain. 
“Oh my god, Grant! Jesus, I didn’t know it was you!” He rushed over, apologizing profusely. Skye padded over to join Jemma in laughter. 
-
Ten minutes later, Ward was lying on the leather couch, ice on his scrotum, and his eyes closed. Leo was staring at him, angry at himself for injuring his Alpha. 
“I can feel you looking at me, Leopold,” Grant said, removing the arm from his face and turning his head.
“I’m so sorry, Grant! I didn’t know it was you; it’s just a defense mechanism-” Fitz rushed out in one breath. 
“Leo.” The Alpha tried.
“-Kind of a shitty one if you think about it, I mean-” Leo continued. 
“Leo.” Grant sat up, wincing. 
“-How would I like it? Not a great experience, if you ask me-” 
“Leo!” The brunette almost yelled. 
“-Some of the most excruciating pain you can experience. Some people compare it to giving birth. Did you know-” 
Grant pulled his boyfriend in for a kiss, effectively silencing him. 
“That.” Leo finished. 
“Have I ever told you to shut up?” Grant smirked, hand trailing down his arm. 
“Probably,” Fitz spoke breathlessly. 
Ward leaned in again, capturing the pregnant man’s lips first and then trailing down his jawline. 
“God, Leo, you’re so beautiful.” 
“Ugh, sto-ah!” The dirty blonde’s mouth fell open as Grant found his scent gland, licking and suckling at it while, at the same time, his fingers firmly gripped the Omega’s waist. Neither of them heard the footsteps coming from the staircase as Simmons came upstairs. The couple was lost in each other when the Alpha found them. She quickly averted her eyes, not wanting to make a fellow Alpha mad as he was in the middle of scenting his partner. 
“Oh, god. Sorry, sorry!” She rushed toward her bunk as Skye came out of hers, nearly knocking the young woman over. 
The Beta rolled her eyes. “Jesus Christ, you two, get a room.” She headed into the bathroom, mumbling under her breath. “Fucking embarrassing Jemma. I’ll beat the shit out of you.” 
Grant finally pulled away from Leo’s neck, admiring the bruise forming along his throat. “Well, my love, would you like to ‘get a room?’” 
Leo, giggling, took the hand offered to him, ungracefully getting off his chair. They walked to their bunk, sliding the door closed and locking it after them. 
-
Grant pulled off Leo and licked his lips, swallowing as Leo reached for his belt. Ward stopped him, pushing his grabby fingers away. Leo frowned, confused. 
“But, what about you?” 
“Still tender. Don’t worry; I’m sure you will take care of it later. Now, did you have dinner?” Grant asked, moving off his partner. 
“No, I was waiting for my dutiful boyfriend to come home from war.” 
“It was not war,” Grant spoke as he got up, kissing Leo on the forehead and leading him out the door. “But, yes, I am a dutiful boyfriend.” They trailed into the kitchen, sitting at the island and looking through take-out menus on Grant’s phone. “Uh, how about chicken parm?” 
“Sure, that sounds good.” Leo yawned, sliding off the island chair to make himself some tea. 
“Okay, I’ll be right back,” Grant said, holding his phone up to his ear as he walked away. 
-
Soon enough, the Alpha returned to the eating area, carrying a bag with an unintelligible restaurant name on the side. The couple sat in silence for a while, chewing on their noodles. 
Eventually, Ward cleared his throat, setting down his fork. “Hey, what do you think about going on a trip?” He rested his head on an open palm. “Just for a few days? Like at one of those S.H.I.E.L.D. places? I hear they are actually really nice.” 
Leo paused and swallowed, looking at his boyfriend curiously. “Are you taking me away to kill me?” 
“What? No!” Grant exclaimed, scandalized. 
“That’s what serial killers say to people they just met.” The Omega pointed at his partner with a piece of chicken at the end of his fork. 
“Of course, I’m not going to kill you.” The older shook his head, laughing. “Dork. I love you; why would I do that?”
Leo shrugged, sassily raising his eyebrows and taking another bite of his food.
“I just figured you could use a break.”  
The dirty blonde smiled wide, eyes crinkling in the corners. “Okay. Yeah, sure, let’s do it. We’ll talk to Coulson in the morning.” The couple finished their dinner; Grant cleaned up the dishes while Leo took a shower.
Later, when they were in bed, Ward curled protectively around his boyfriend, and Leo chasing sleep in his arms, he whispered, “Sleep well, darling.” Fitz smiled, his dreams coming quickly.

So I've finally finished Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and not only did I enjoy the last three seasons way more than I thought I would, but I was not prepared for how delightfully unhinged the show became. Some of my favourite plot points included:
The female protagonist has a long-lost sister with superpowers who becomes the key to the entire crew returning to their original timeline through the Quantum Realm. Said long-lost sister is not introduced or even hinted at until the last five episodes of the entire show.
Half of one season takes place in a dystopian 2091 where the young twenty-something scientist couple not only meet their grandson who is the same age as them but said grandson returns to the present, becomes a series regular, and calls them "Nana" and "Bobo" in some Once Upon A Time worthy family tree shenanigans. Oh he also gets stuck in the 80s and claims he wrote Don't You (Forget About Me)
Phil Coulson dies in Season 5 because in order to stop an evil AI -turned-human-turned evil because she got dumped by a small Scottish man he has to become Ghostrider. The entire season builds up to this in a way that makes it feel very much like the actor is stepping away from the show and retiring the character, only for them to cast Clarke Gregg as an evil deity from another dimension in Season 6 and as a Life Model Decoy that may as well just be Phil Coulson in Season 7
Patton Oswalt plays multiple identical characters who all work for SHIELD. This is never fully explained.
“Mata Hari Calamari”
The final season is a decade-hopping gimmick with matching genre episodes that beat WandaVision to the punch
One character is a robot anthropologist who just wants to be best friends with the same small Scottish man. He has canonically been trained to perform in alien brothels and eventually becomes a bartender in the Crazy Canoe in 1955. He is one of the absolute best parts of the show.
One plot line follows said same Scottish Man and robot anthropologist as they get stranded in outer space with their only way home being to gamble in an alien casino while their friends attempt to rescue them but accidentally take LSD instead
"I found that bluffing was much easier if you kill someone and take their skin."
Area 51 is canonically a SHIELD base

Can't stop thinking of the tragedy of agents of shield and how yeah you can find your found family in a spy organisation but due to the nature of the work it's almost always bound to end in tragedy.
Daisy connected with Ward and he used her and betrayed her.
Fitz was her family and friend for 4 seasons only to end up using and betraying her and dying without any resolution, unlike Ward who she at least got closure with via shooting him.
Simmons was one of the people she trusted most for 4 and a half seasons, "us against the world" until the trauma warped Simmons to the point she could only focus on Fitz and would warp and justify anything to continue loving him. And unlike Fitz she didn't die so there was just this undercurrent for the rest of the show like I still love you and would die for you but I can't trust you the same anymore because I know you would take your husband's side no matter what he did to me. Sometimes it's just the two of us and it's like nothing's changed and other times you're selfish and self centered and willing to sacrifice everyone around you for Fitz. I want it to be us against the world but it isn't anymore. You chose and so even though I love you I need to move on.
Coulson loved Daisy so much. They were the central relationship of the show. But he died, and he's gone and it wasn't fully his choice but it's still one more original team member she's lost.
And then there's May. The final original member, the one Daisy had the hardest time connecting with initially. And now it's just the two of them. May stood by her and May died protecting her and May came back and is still there, just a phone call away. Daisy is off in space, doing what she does best in the face of a lifetime of suffering. She's fighting the good fight and helping people who need it and she's got a partner and a sister who she can trust and with no bad blood remaining.
But if they go back to earth for a pit stop or homesickness or for any other reason, she'll have May waiting for her. Daisy went from alone to the one on her team now with the most roots, a mother and a brother waiting for her every time she comes home to earth. Maybe four out of five times putting your hope and found family heart into your shady spy organisation coworkers ends in tragedy. But maybe that one time it doesn't makes it all worth it.

some of my favorite agents of shield fun facts (season 2 edition)
part two!!! [part one is on my page!]
- to show the difference of coulson as the director of shield instead of an agent, they specially tailored each suit, used expensive slim ties, and even tailored his collar to make it higher. they also only made five suits for clark to wear the entire season.
- the cast and crew loved simon kassianides as bakshi so much that they kept his character in the story much longer than planned. he ended up dying five episodes after he was originally supposed to.
- in the episode “Face to Face” where coulson and may are undercover at the party, they made may’s undercover personality based on ming-na wen’s actual personality. a lot of the scenes of may at the party hanging out were unscripted.
- the writers modeled coulson in season two after nick fury, as the new director of shield. the writers made his previous role as a high ranking agent protective of the younger agents more akin to may’s character.
- bobbi wears blue, black, and grey constantly to represent her comic book mockingbird suit. she wears red two twice: while undercover at hydra & when she’s in japan (where she’s pretending to still work for hydra) to show the contrast in her undercover persona and real self.
- the crew and writers modeled the ward family somewhat after the Kennedy’s…what.
- the episode where ward confronts his past is called “The Things We Bury” which is a play on words for a book called “The Things They Carried”, which is a book written about the Vietnam War from the point of view of a soldier (i’ve read the book for a class, it’s a true story).
- the cast (other than adrienne and henry) had no idea mack and bobbi were working for another shield until the episode for the script was sent.
- the day chloe found out that skye would be an inhuman was on the day in season one that an earthquake hit the set. SHE FOUND OUT SHE WOULD PLAY AN INHUMAN WITH QUAKE POWERS THE DAY AN EARTHQUAKE HIT!!
- chloe knew her character existed as a superhero in the comics since she got the role, but she didn’t know which one. at first she thought she could be she-hulk or even mantis but after researching comics she realized she was playing quake a few days before the writers told her she was quake.
- a camera typically films at 24 frames per second. in the scene where skye breaks out of the cocoon in the underground city in puerto rico, the scene was filmed at 1,500 frames per second.
- after trip’s death a lot of the cast thought he would come back again because they said it’s marvel and people come back from dying all the time.
- in the scene filmed on the football field in “One Of Us” it was actually 45° F, which was the record coldest day (at the time of filming) in Los Angeles since 1885.
- lincoln’s character was literally created to give skye a break. they literally realized she’s been through so much in one season that they wrote in a possible boyfriend to make her happy for once.
- one of the writer’s favorite scenes to write was the dinner scene between cal, jaiying, and skye.
- coulson was almost an inhuman. yep. the idea was brought up in the writers room but they decided against it because they liked the idea of coulson being the average man within the craziness that is shield.
this wraps up season two fun facts! i’ll probably post season three when i can!! i don’t really have any plans for the rest of the seasons though :)

one of the most interesting aspects of andor to me is how i think it didn’t decision to alter character timelines so much as make the decision to alter- or rather, cut open and interrogate- the entire timeline of the rebellion, in ways that have fascinating implications for the entire worldbuilding of the starry wars. one of the lingering uncertainties of “andor” comes from the refusal to play any of the cards of the Rebel Alliance as the plucky good-guy army, for whom Joining the Rebellion is as straightforward as enlisting and getting a uniform, who can show up and do army things at any moment. as the episodes build and build and build and the tension and power of the imperial army grows higher, the Rebel Alliance just.... doesn’t appear. there is no Secret Base for Luthen to take Cassian too, only a tiny group of guerillas in the highlands. there is none of the famous iconography of the Rebellion- no orange flight suits (though boy does andor give a new cast to that color choice), no rebel armed rebel bases, no x-wings go swoop in at the last moment. as I watched Andor I felt the lingering stone-drop realisation: the Rebellion, as we know it, simply does not exist. what we get is a hyper-isolated, fragmented rebellion in its infancy, tiny groups and intellligence operations so low on cash that the theft of a single sector’s payroll or access to a single wealthy woman’s family funds. Cassian can’t join the rebel alliance, because it doesn’t exist yet. 
And that’s one story. that’s a far, far more complicated story, and a more difficult story to exist within, than the plucky rebel army versus big empire narrative star wars has been living in. how do you join something like that? it really isn’t that easy. BUT! here’s the thing. BUT BUT BUT. andor complicates that further by showing, over and over again, that even if that rebel alliance can’t swoop in and save the day, that even if the number of *official* Rebellion members is a tiny fraction down to their last resources, organised rebellion is, in fact, possible. and it already exists. it exists everywhere, in numerous forms. it is both non violent and violent, and it is often the work of *civillians,* because the fundamental conditions of war, occupation, and totalitarianism make, politicise, designate everyone as a soldier. looking back on andor, there isn’t a single arc that isn’t made possible by some form of organised, collective rebellion. cassian couldn’t have escaped from ferrix if ferrix didn’t already have a system of pounding metal in order to spread the word, if salman and wilmon paak didn’t get set to banging metal, and brasso didn’t weld weights to the police squad car. the rebels couldn’t have pulled off the aldhani heist if hundreds of local aldhani hadn’t continued their cultural rites and kept coming on that pilgrimage even as local imperial agents actively worked to prevent it- because existence can be rebellion, because the continuation of cultural and religious traditions under oppression can be rebellion. the crowning point of the season, for me, is the prison break at narkina five, the five thousand prisoners knowing that there’s only one way out, and that’s by running, shooting, killing, by climbing out together. the series ends on an entire local uprising as a town’s funeral march turns into a riot against armed, shielded cops. 
And it all leads into these much more nuanced things that Andor is saying about the natures of both oppression and resistance. Because it isn’t giving the (individualist, and somewhat defeatest, but sure damn repeated) narrative that rebellion against authoritarianism is about a few Englightened individuals - the luthen’s, the aldhani rebels- versus the mass of Sheeple who just take it. Are thankful for it. That there’s just the Special ones who see the light, and those that.. Haven’t. Nor are there the essentialistly Good Pure Rebels who have all the Right Ideas in a nice Color Coded Format, who have fought Purely and Totally for the Rebellion From the Start, versus the bad guys The structures of empire don’t work like that- they make huge numbers of people complicit because of the way they stack and tier and turn subjugated people against each other when so few individuals, actually are in charge, and they make the alternative to complicity be nothing but death, in horrific ways. The people in Andor have dirt on their hands. It’s about what they do now. The X-wings can’t come to save Cassian from Narkina. The prisoners have to climb their way out. No one can give the Aldhani rebels backup. Only Luthen and Cinta and Vel can come to Maarva’s wake, and when the fighting comes, it isn’t even about them, anyway. Andor asks what happens when there isn’t the golden saviour, the Good Guy army coming in for us, and makes the case for rebellion as something intensely collectivist and intensely local, that rebellion and rebels exist before our very eyes, in more complicated ways. It’s what makes the show both brutal and brutally hopeful - for one of the first times, watching star wars, i get the sense viscerally that better worlds and forms of existence are possible within the star wars world.
As for cassian, the arc I hope they’re going for, and i really do think are going for, is not that he joined the rebellion as we see it in rogue one. It’s that that rebellion as we know didn’t exist yet, and that his arc will be about helping to stitch together the various forms of rebellion that already exist, everywhere. I think we’ll walk into Rogue One now not seeing Cassian as Mon and Draven’s hand- already fascinating - but as one of the rebellion’s quiet powerbrokers and kingmakers whose a big part of why they’re there to begin with.

Word count: 4643
Summary: reader finds out about the atrocities the scarlet witch has committed and plans to stop it. Along with backstory from prior to pt.1
Hello! This is the third part to “Please, don’t go (you couldn’t even if you wanted to)” and “Perfect Puppy”. If you haven’t read pt.1 and pt.2 then I would highly suggest you read those. Also for quick context because I was too lazy to write this part reader was a shield scientist who was fused with the mind stone around age of ultron. This occurred because a hydra agent posed as a scientist for shield to lead research on the mind stone and his plan to steal it failed when it chose to fuse with you. The mind stone is set on the base of your neck, right on your spinal cord. It granted you a inhuman level intellect the ability to create glowing, golden wings from your back and a scythe made from the same thing. You also gained increased strength and agility. Also I wrote this mostly after watching the season 2 finale of the owl house and listening to the entirety of Harry’s house so please know I wasn’t mentally stable while making it. Also last thing, I’m really glad that people have liked this story! It started off as a vent fic and I’m glad I was able to make it something beyond that. I hope you like it!
Earth 616
Wanda met you on your very first day as an avenger. She had only been a part of the group for a month after the events with Ultron. She was still buried under the stacks of grief and pain she felt after the death of her twin brother. But it was you that was able to remove the debris piece by piece and save her from succumbing to it. You stayed up with her till early hours of the morning as she cried herself voiceless. You listened to the childhood stories she had of her and Pietro. You watched every single episode in Wanda’s sitcom collection and even found the missing show, your personal favorite, Malcolm in the middle, to complete her collection again. She cried when you gave it to her. You didn’t know how much a collection of television episodes could mean to the young witch, but you never judged her for having such a hold on them. That was something you loved about her. Soon, that hold came to you too. It took Wanda four months, one week, and three day (but who’s counting) to ask you to go on a date with her.
Of course you say yes.
How could you say no to her?
She’s the love of your life and you knew that the moment you laid eyes on her.
Then it took Wanda exactly five dates over the course of twenty three days (but again, who’s counting?) to ask you to be her girlfriend.
And again, of course you say yes
How could you say no to her?
You never left her side after that day. Never once did you even think about leaving her. She was your everything. The sun, moon, stars, sky, and everything in between. You found solace in her arms after every mission either of you took.
You knew you wanted to propose to Wanda after one year, two months, and six days. (You get the picture)
“You’re obsessing over the numbers again, Y/N” Wanda laughs as she watches you try to beat your high score on some game she couldn’t understand. “I’m starting to think you like numbers more than me.” she sits next to you as you stare at the tv screen, controller gripped tightly in your hand. “Well that’s what I thought about you and your sitcoms and look at us now.” You laugh as your eyes finally tear away from the screen to see Wanda sitting there with a big grin on her face. “Why are you smiling like that, my love?”
“You’re going to make fun of me, Y/N”
“No I won’t, tell me, pleaseeee” you give her your best puppy dog eyes and pout you can muster.
“Okay okay…. I just think you look so beautiful here with me and I’m glad you’ve been here with me for so long. I never really told you how much you mean to me, moya lyubov, but I have never met anyone in my life that I love as much as you”
One year, two months, and seven days after Wanda Maximoff asked you to be her girlfriend was when you started to make your preparations. You were secretly searching for plots of land to purchase so that you and Wanda could build a home together. The both of you had talked about wanting to give up the hero's life for something more quant. You both wanted to settle down and have a family of your own one day. You quickly found a small town named Westview. A quiet place perfect to raise a family: good schools, zero crime rate, and nice neighbors. You quickly secured the plot and began drafting up house designs. Then it came to the ring. You did a lot of research on engagement rings on the internet and even consulted Nat as to what she thought would be best. She gave you the “Whatever you think Wanda will like will be perfect, don’t overthink it” and left it at that. You eventually did find the perfect ring after one year, three months, and nineteen days.
You had planned to propose the next day.
“Oh it’s going to be perfect Nat, I’m gonna take her to our favorite dinner place and then take her by the water and say it! I’ve already memorized what I’m gonna tell her so there’s no way I can mess this up.”
Things took a turn that next day.
Somehow after some amount of days? hours? (You weren’t keeping count) you ended up in Wakanda, strapped to a table as a girl was trying to surgically remove the mind stone from you to keep a purple titan from wiping out half the universe.
Not exactly the way you wanted your proposal to go but what could you do? The life of an avenger never stops even if you try your best to build a wall between you and it. There’s always going to be a wrecking ball to break through it.
You just wished the wrecking ball didn’t kill you before you got to propose. Before you got to start your life, your real life with Wanda. Everything went down the drain the moment you left to fight. You had no choice. They weren’t going to win without you and it was taking too long to get the stone out safely.
But you did know who could get it out of you immediately and destroy it before Thanos got to it.
Wanda
You found her almost instantly after flying around. You help her defeat the surrounding enemies with ease before looking at her with tearful eyes.
You had already come to terms with the fact you had to die, but you hadn’t come to terms with the fact that you’d have to leave Wanda all alone to grieve without you. A shot of guilt went through your body at the thought of Wanda trying to dig herself out of a new layer of grief without the help of someone on the outside.
“Y/N, what’s going on? Did they get the stone out?”
“Sadly not, my love, there’s no time. The army is advancing and Thanos will be here any minute.” You can feel yourself start to choke up. You needed to tell your girlfriend to kill you, but you couldn’t find the words.
“What’re you saying, detka?” She knows too. You can see it in the way her eyes are starting to gloss over with tears. She read your mind when you couldn’t speak the words.
“I need to take the stone from you, don’t I?” She says with a crack in her voice, she’s holding back tears to try and stay strong.
You said yes.
You wished you could say no to her for once.
Why weren’t you allowed to say no.
Why couldn’t you be happy?
“Wanda, we don’t have much time. It’s now or never.” You hold her close in your arms. This was the last time she’d ever find solace in them.
“This is goodbye forever, moya lubov?”
“Not forever, just for now.”
“How do you know?”
“I have the intellect of the entire galaxy, I know a lot of things.” you try to force a laugh to ease the witches tension.
You clear your throat. You had to tell Wanda before you went. You needed to give her the ring. At least let her find out that you wanted to propose from you and not from someone else.
“Wands, I know this isn’t the best place. It’s not how I wanted to do this and you know how much I strive for perfection-“
“Y/N, what do you mean?��
You bring out the ring you’ve been keeping in your pocket. It’s an intricate silver band with a dark crimson gem in the center. It reminded you of Wanda, flawlessly elegant and beautiful in every way.
“Wanda, I know a lot of things to say the least. I especially know how much I love you. Everything about you is perfect. I know that I would love for you to be my wife, even in death. Would you?”
She said yes
She could never say no to you
The ring fit on her finger perfectly and you kissed her softly, longingly. You knew this was the end for you.
“I don’t know if I can do this alone, Y/N”
“Yes you can, Wanda, I know you can. I love you so much but now you need to let me go.”
“Can I get one last goodbye kiss?”
“Of course, my love.”
You kiss her for the last time as tears streamed down your face. You held the brunette's face in your hands, trying to comfort her for the last time. Wanda’s fingers move behind your neck, her magic ensnares the stone and before you know it you are out cold.
A lifeless pile on the floor.
At least it was a painless death.
Wanda destroyed the stone the moment it left your body. She grabbed your corpse and sobbed. She had killed her love. She effectively destroyed the rest of her life in the matter of a second.
The wrecking ball never misses.
Then Thanos came.
The wrecking ball was replaced with a missile.
She thought she had bested him.
You were smarter than him and you accounted for everything. You knew the only way to save the universe was for you to die with the stone.
What you didn’t account for was Steven Strange giving Thanos the time stone.
Wanda watched as your lifeless body was dragged from her arms. Only to be reanimated and killed once more in front of her. The screams of agony you made pierced her ears as she watched in horror. Your body contorted as Thanos not only tortured you in your last seconds of life but also your beloved.
Thanos won.
And Wanda lost you, twice…
Then she was snapped to dust
Eventually things worked out. The avengers defeated Thanos and the population was restored. Life was starting to get back to normal. She found out that your body was at a S.W.O.R.D headquarters. When she saw what they did to you she almost vomited. You were being dissected like a lab rat to see the mind stones effects on humans. She wanted to have a proper burial for you but apparently you were S.W.O.R.D property since she didn’t claim your body the moment you died.
Not like she was snapped out of existence or anything.
She left the building in tears. Shortly after Tony’s funeral she found the plans you had with the address of the plot of land you purchased for the two of you. She visited Westview and discovered what you saw in it. She knew it would have been perfect for you two to start a family.
Would have being the key words
She found the plot and walked into the center of where your house was meant to be, she opened the plans and saw the words “To grow old in” written in red ink and surrounded by a heart in the center of the page.
You were right when you thought that Wanda would struggle to dig herself out of the stacks of grief she felt. She tried her best to claw herself out but it was too hard to do it alone.
Then she remembered she had magic.
She was going to use the stacks of grief to reconstruct a new life, here in Westview, just as you envisioned.
We all know how that went.
When Wanda couldn’t have you in Westview, she decided that traveling the multiverse to find you again would be the next best option.
The rest of it was a blur for her but all she knew was that she had you again. Except she picked this universe specifically because this was the one universe where you never melded with the mind stone… to her knowledge.
You would be easier to control you if you didn’t have it. The witch assumed that she was correct since you were easy to control after a while. The only thing is that you did meld with the mind stone.
You just didn’t know that you had.
And so because you didn’t know the mind stone was inside of your frontal lobe in this universe, Wanda didn’t know either.
It didn’t matter anyway since you were already her perfect puppy.
-
Earth 838
A year passes of you being Wanda’s pet. You were kept at Wanda’s side at all times. You did everything she asked: you ate the food she made, took all the medication without question, and pleasured your beloved without a second thought. The only thought in your mind at all times was Wanda.
You still had strange moments where you got extreme headaches. Your inner conscious was screaming at you that something was wrong. Sometimes it felt like the deep throbbing pain would only go away when you took the copious amounts of medication that Wanda would have to force down our throat.
One day when you could feel your meds start to wear off, the pain came again. This time the mindless voices coalesced into one screaming voice.
“The witch is lying to you. She is not your wife! She is a killer. Don’t trust her!”
It screamed over and over and over again. It felt like the front of your skull was going to burst open. You hit your forehead repeatedly as you screamed in agony.
This became an almost bi-weekly occurrence. Wanda learned to adapt. Most of the time she just needed to fuck some sense into you. She said it would help calm the voices if you went into a more submissive mind space for her.
-
“Fuck, such a dumb little puppy for mommy.” The witch groaned into your ear as she pounded into your sopping pussy.
You were on all fours on the bed with a bone shaped gag in your mouth and a plug with a fake silicone tail at the end of it that wagged around when Wanda’s hips met yours. You were drooling all over your gag, a few bite marks were indented in it already.
Wanda gripped your hips with an unwavering force, digging her nails in and leaving behind crescent shaped marks in her wake. “You’re my good puppy. You’d do anything for mommy. You’re so obedient for me. Don’t listen to your dumb mutt brain, it doesn’t know what’s best for you. That’s why I’m here.” She chanted while forcing her strap to hit deeper and deeper with every thrust.
When Wanda finally forced you over the peak of your orgasm you let out a roaring moan around your gag before promptly falling flat on the bed. Wanda moves to undo your gag as she says “Good puppy, now what did you learn again?” You take a few gasps of air before replying “Mommy is in charge, not my dumb puppy brain.” She coos before using her thumb to wipe off the saliva coating your mouth. “And what do good puppies say to their mommy’s after they get fucked?” She whispers into your ear before flipping you over onto your back so you can make eye contact with her. “Thank you, Mommy, I love you.”
-
It was Thursday, grocery shopping day for Wanda. She insisted that even though she could just magically restock the kitchen, it was nice to take you out once a week in a controlled environment. You were feeling under the weather so she couldn’t drag you along to the grocery store like usual. She left you at home with a bowl of soup and a large glass of water that she ordered to be done by the time she got back. She knew that by the time she would get back, 1:15pm on the dot, it would be time for your medication, four different kinds to be exact, again. She laughed to herself when she realized how she had become the one obsessed with numbers.
However, she didn’t account for the flat tire that would cause a hold up on the way back. She could just fix it herself, but she was on an extremely busy road and was trying to maintain a sense of normality, so the witch would have to wait for a repair man.
It was 1:17pm when you felt the headache kick in
1:19 was when the voices started
And 1:27 was when you collapsed to the floor from all the pain.
“Remember who you are, Y/N! Shield scientist, Avenger, college student, friends to many. You aren’t what the scarlet witch turned you into!” your inner conscience berated you.
“Get out of my head! I want my mommy back!” You could feel bile climbing your throat and you quickly rushed to the bathroom to throw up.
“Y/N, the pain will stop if you stop resisting the truth.”
You sit on your bed again as the headache is starting to subside. You’d never waited this long to take your medicine before. Wanda was always on top of your schedule to make sure nothing happened to you. It felt like the dense fog of your mind was being parted by a bright golden light.
-
When the fog faded the pain from your earlier headache came back tenfold. Except this time it came with the rush of your old memories flooding into your brain as if a dam had been broken. You saw you and Wanda, your real Wanda, meet for the first time, you saw your love story progress, you saw how you helped the Illuminati defeat Thanos, then how you went back to school to finish your masters while you and Wanda found a house together.
The next thing you saw was truly horrifying.
You saw the scarlet witch appear in a bright crimson portal in the middle of your living room. Her ginger hair cascaded around her as she stared down at you. Your initial reaction was to scream. This is who your wife saw when she was having all of those nightmares. That’s who possessed her body and killed the Illuminati. In this universe, the mind stone didn’t make itself known to you as it did on earth 616. You had no powers but you were still a skilled hero. That didn’t make the whole experience less terrifying.
You ran to the kitchen where your wife stood. She was forming bright scarlet balls of energy in her palms while you reached to get two knives. You hadn’t trained since you entered back into academia so your aim wasn’t how it used to be, yet you still almost hit the scarlet witch with your two knives.
Almost
With a wave of her wrist your knives were sent across the living room. Your wife, in her battered up state, goes to attack but is quickly picked up with the witch's magic and sent crashing into the wall. You couldn’t hold back the shriek that erupted from your mouth at the sight of your wife’s body lying limp on the ground. You grab whatever you can and begin to throw whatever you could towards the witch. She keeps chanting “Stop it” over and over until she finally breaks. “Stop it you measly brat!” She yell as red tendrils of magic wrap around your body. “You are going to learn how to respect me, detka. I know you don’t know it now, but you will love me just as much as I love you… maybe even more.” Her smile was sickly and unnerving. With your last remaining chip of confidence you say “I could never love a monster like you.” before spitting at the Scarlet Witch’s face.
Then everything went dark.
What you didn’t get to see was the scarlet witch burying her 813 counterpart in the rose bushes in the backyard, burying the last bit of her humanity with the corpse.
-
You came to laying on your bed, sweat already coated your forehead while tears were streaming down your face. You don’t remember when you started crying but you couldn’t stop after what you had seen. Your wife has been killed by the woman who haunted her nightmares for months and took over her body. The grief hits you almost instantaneously as you curl in on yourself. You were realizing everything you’ve
You can stop this Y/N
You felt the warm glow from the mind stone making itself known to you. It didn’t hurt anymore. It felt like an unknown part of you is complete. You had to think of a plan. You thought you could defeat Wanda with this new found power inside of you. You just needed to trust your brain.
-
You’ve been on the Avenger bench for a few years but that didn’t mean all of your tactical planning skills went out the window. You’ve never needed a plan on how to kill your wife’s evil variant from another universe. Hopefully this would be the first, only, and final time you’d need to do that.
You first searched your house for any weapons but of course the scarlet witch would hide them somewhere. Even the knife drawer was locked with a key she only kept in her pocket. You groaned as you wish you still had some weapon of yours in the house.
Suddenly the tingling sensation in your frontal lobe started up again at the thought of a weapon. You thought about how you used to have this really nice sword that was made from vibranium. It had a black hilt with dark red material, part of Wanda’s old costume, wrapped around it to make it more comfortable to hold. The more you thought of it, it soon came to life in a glowing, golden form. You move it around in your hand and it looked the exact same, just made out of a strange glowing material. You could even see the small “W.M” that you let Wanda carve into the hilt on your wedding day before using it to cut your cake.
With the weapon done, you needed to wait. An ambush would be your best bet. Surprise her and then slash her head open, that should do it.
With what seemed like perfect timing, Wanda rushed through the door with both hands full of groceries. You had snuck into the hallway by the door and kept yourself hidden behind a bookcase.
“Puppy! Mommy’s home! Do you think you can come down so I can take your temperature?” She calls out while stepping further into the house. You slowly crept behind her and without any words you stood straight and brought your sword down to slash straight through her head.
She stopped you with a wave of her finger. Your whole body was trapped in a scarlet haze, stopping your movement entirely. You glowered at her as you attempted to free yourself. She scoffs at you as she inspects the glowing weapon in your hand. “So I was wrong…” she mutters to herself before standing straight. “Wanda, let me go!” You yelled at your captor with pure rage but she could still see the fear in your eyes. “I don’t think I will. I can fix you again.” She says as her hands go up to your temple. “If you do it again, I’ll find out again and again and again until one day I figure out the perfect way to beat you. It will be a never ending cycle of never knowing when I can and will kill you. Or I could kill myself and where will that leave you? Back to where you started… and we both know that you’d hate to lose.” there was a fire ignited in your eyes. Wanda remembers that look and sadly she had to agree with you. “Wanda, I know you’re in pain. I know what you’ve lost, but you can’t deal with grief in the way that you are… it’s not healthy for you. I know you’re just like my Wanda and I know there is still good shrouded in all of your darkness, you need to find it and get help to make it brighter than the darkness. Please, Wanda, for me.”
She sighs and lets you free. You collapse to the floor and your sword disintegrates into thin air. The witch sits on the couch and you join her. “You’re right, it just hurt so much to keep losing you” Wanda was fighting back tears that you swiftly moved to wipe away with your thumb. You rub her back soothingly like you knew she enjoyed before saying “I know, I know… but you need to go back to your universe and make things right.”
“Then what will happen to you, detka?” She asks while turning to face you, her hands coming up to cradle your face. “I will be joining my wife the moment you leave here.” You said solemnly. “I have my sword again, I’m sure it will do the trick.” you joked while looking into her eyes, the pain in your own was evident.
“Let me do it, I can make it painless and bury you with her.”
Of course you said yes
How could you say no to her?
“Thank you, Wanda.”
-
Wanda let you put on your favorite outfit before you rejoined her. You wanted to look nice before rejoining your wife in the afterlife. “Just, make it quick.” You say while stepping in front of her.
And so, Wanda did as you asked. She stepped forward and placed her hands against your temple. “Goodbye forever, moya lyubov” she says as tears begin to fall down her face. “I love you, Wanda, but you need to let me go.” Your hand raises to cradle her cheek. She leans into your touch one last time. “Can I have one last kiss goodbye?” Her eyes finally meet yours. The forest green has yet to be taken over by the wildfire of scarlet. “Yes, my love, of course” you kiss her lips, not like the hungry and desperate ones you’ve gotten used to receiving. This one was full of love but also full of agony. You could feel Wanda’s lip twitch as her fingers moved against your temple. You collapsed as soon as she let go.
Your lifeless body in a heap on the floor.
Wanda finally broke down completely. She cradled your head against her chest as she sobbed uncontrollably. It took her some time to collect herself enough to carry your body outside to the rose garden that your Wanda had been laid to rest in. The witch uprooted the earth around your true wife and placed you next to her, as you had requested, ensuring your hands were on top of each other. She buried your body quickly and replanted your Wanda’s roses. The ones she had planted just for you as a surprise wedding gift. Now it would be your eternal grave.
The scarlet witch couldn’t stay in your universe forever. She couldn’t bear to have the temptation of your dead body at her grasps to reanimate. She made a portal back to her cabin and walked through. Walking through the empty cabin, she flicks her wrist and in her palm appears the darkhold.
She sits and focuses her energy on a certain spell in the darkhold. She begins to levitate as crimson orbs of voices surround her. It was all your voice just in different universes. She homes in on one of them and watches as you sit in your lab at shield. Fiddling with some chemicals and writing down results. “Don’t worry Y/N, Mommy will be there soon enough. Let’s both hope that the third time's the charm.”

Terry Pratchett would love the queer politics of Good Omens 2
Good Omens 2, the second season of Prime Video’s cult hit, will finally arrive on Friday (28 July), almost five years after the first season debuted and over three decades since the publication of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s beloved novel on which it was based. Like the first season, Good Omens 2 is warm, inviting, weird, whip-smart, wonderfully diverse, very funny… and it’s really going to annoy the “anti-woke” brigade.
As with Gaiman’s other recent TV hit, The Sandman, this is a show with diversity and representation built into its DNA. Characters have same-sex crushes and no one bats an eyelid. There’s a completely open approach to casting in which the race, gender and physical characteristics of individuals basically don’t factor into the story in any way. There are characters with visible disabilities, black characters, white characters, old and young, women, men and non-binary – and none of these identities has any bearing on the story. Rarely is representation on this scale so elegantly done. For a story about the end of the world, it’s strangely utopian.
At the centre of the tale are Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant), an angel and demon, friends, companions and technically mortal enemies for millennia. Sheen is fussy, well-meaning, pleasant and fastidious, while Tennant is wily, louche and sardonic.
And they love each other. It’s never stated aloud, though it bubbles close to the surface once or twice if you know where to look. The pair’s odd-couple, will-they-won’t-they chemistry, which is less obvious in the book, was the heart of the first season, and season two gives us even more. They’re a classic pairing: attracted opposites thrown together by fate. There’s a wonderful moment in season one where Crowley states that, rather than being agents of heaven or hell, they are simply on their own side, and another where Aziraphale tenderly uses his angelic wing, almost absent-mindedly, to shield his partner from the rain.
What the pair’s relationship hasn’t been, at least not yet, is overtly romantic, though Gaiman, the show-runner, has said many times that he regards Good Omens as a “love story between an angel and a demon”. It’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds as the season progresses. If it blossoms into a full romance, it’ll be another example of the representation baked into the show. Crowley and Aziraphale may be genderless angelic beings, but Tennant and Sheen are cis-gendered men, and any romantic scenes will unavoidably be viewed through a queer lens.
In a way, that would be deeply fitting. Good Omens is not an innately political book, but it is, like most of the late Sir Terry Pratchett’s work, intensely moral – something that Gaiman (alongside the show’s executive producer, Rob Wilkins, who is also executor of Pratchett’s literary state and his “representative on Earth”) has preserved in the new story: a two-season arc based on ideas he and Pratchett had for a follow-up they never had time to write. That morality, that anger at injustice, was an essential part of Pratchett’s writing. (“Do not underestimate this anger,” Pratchett once told his friend. “This anger was the engine that powered Good Omens”.) There’s a lot of that anger in Good Omens 2, mainly aimed at the contradictions and cruelties ordered by God in the Old Testament. The avidly atheistic Pratchett would certainly approve.
But even without the religious critique, Good Omens is innately political. It tells a story in which all characters, regardless of gender, race, age, physical shape or ability can be completely, authentically and – crucially – visibly themselves. It’s a very Terry Pratchett idea. A very Neil Gaiman idea. And an ineffably Good Omens idea.

I’m rewatching Agents of Shield and here is list of things I genuinely forgot happened:
(also fun little things that i enjoyed)
season five:
- “the one thing we haven’t done yet” mack after learning they were in space
- mack got mad at coulson for just having his regular hand and “not coming prepared”
- and then mentioned boy scouts
- deke held a knife to may’s neck immediately after meeting her (also hi deke)
- they found out about earth’s destruction in the first episode
- simmons’ inability to hear wasn’t because of some chip, but from a worm-like-creature crawling into her head (via kasius)
- daisy slapped deke
- “so what universe did that just happen in? mine or yours?”
- did not remember that ciara bravo guest starred as an inhuman (abby)
- simmons was required to help abby with her powers
- fitz counted the days in his cells by drawing monkeys
- hunter used a british? accent when playing fitz’s attorney
- fitz told hunter about robbie
- “that’s the strangest thing i’ve ever heard, well except for the sexy robot you made…”
- enoch’s walls were covered with robin’s drawings and kree writing
- hunter said he and bobbi would look after robin and her mom after fitz and enoch left
- fitz proposed when simmons couldn’t hear him
- “what the hell kind of future is this?” mack in response to finding out flint didn’t know what tacos are
- kasius allowed his servant (i can’t remember her name rn) to fight against daisy to the death
- tess was murdered, and her body was displayed publicly as a warning to hand over flint
- “it may be time for a career change” enoch to may
- y’know what simmons says when her and fitz go up the chute using deke’s belt buckle? allons-y. i love her
- enoch is canonically non-binary
- “chronicoms do not have gender”
- tess came back to life
- yo-yo saw herself in the future, after she had been brought back to life for the umpteenth time
- future yo-yo told past her to let coulson die, and accidentally revealed her losing her arms
- deke shot a kree to save enoch
the fact that they’re not even back to their time yet, and this is already this long is astounding
- mack watched kasius slit future yo-yo’s throat
- creel worked with hale
- mike peterson showed up when coulson went to close the rift
- told coulson that he never made it off the table
- part of coulson’s mission for deke was to bring former agents and allies of shield back to the lighthouse (including davis and the real mike peterson)
- y’know how in agent carter, the red room had facilities meant to forcibly educate and train children so they’d grow up to obey them (ie dottie)? hydra did the same thing
