jinx- I think you and I must have mind-melded

When I saw this, I busted up laughing! It's like we were one with the Marvel universe! I was compelled by my muse to write a venting rant deathfic. I love Ward and the Ward/Skye relationship, but I have to admit that when he turned seemingly dark, I was crushed and hence the birth of my story. I only see a bad end for Ward after all he's done and how many people he has killed so as per predictably usual and you know me, I killed him off. I'd prefer that to him becoming misguidedly evil as Mike Peterson has become as Deathlok.

I love how in your story you're showing the progression of events through Fitz's eyes. You captured how the world he used to know has changed and not at all for the better. There is a palpable loss in his realization thaw Ward is a traitor.

Fave part:

(He can’t help but think of all the times Ward saved his life. He can’t help but think of the respect he gained in Ward’s eyes and how much that meant to him. He can’t help but think of the good times.

The Marvel universe just has so much to play with! It's hard to resist.

The turn with Ward was pretty unexpected, so I can imagine how hard you're taking it! I hope you've managed to redeem him fic wise this summer and maybe the show will work that out on screen, too :)

That said, I'm a sucker for poor Fitz.

Thanks!

Somehow, my demon!Dean icon seems to work for this story. I too am a sucker for Fitz. I really love the technique of short sentences and repeating the first word of a line. Those are such effective ways of creating the feeling of "Bam, bam, bam" - every punch in the gut Simmons had to feel with each new betrayal, more like, of course, the betrayals were ongoing, but finding out lands like a series of blows.

Excellent work. I love the ending line. It's so Fitz, and it too is a reversal. Awesome.

This show started off so slow, but the second half really developed the story arc and the character arcs as well. Fitz, in particular, I thought was really well played in the subtlety of his arc. How he's so resistant to change throughout the season and not quite coming into his own, and then in the end, he's the one who changes everything between him and Jemma. He earns that big damn hero moment -- and now they have to live with that aftermath.

Thanks :)
