Because I have a very complex relationship with this show the fics you are gonna find here are either AU, pre-canon (academy era is my jam), set during the first season or just very character and/or relationship centric, I also haven't read much lately but I love these two characters and these fics so I hope you enjoy them anyway!

syd15 Why This Must Be Read: After Season 1's finale a lot of things happened, the fitzsimmons' fic were my favorite part. The way some of those fics dealt with Fitz's injuries was so much better than what we got on the show, this is one of those fics. Probably one of my favorites, actually.

syd15 Why This Must Be Read: Like I said, my feelings toward this show are very complex, and I guess at its core it comes down to "this fic's team dynamic is what I want but this is also what I'll never get again". Not only from the show but from writers, the whole fandom is pretty disperse and emotions are high. Anyway, I love this fic because we get team bus caring and worrying about each other.

Pretending to be married!! They gun-blazing badasses, yo!! What's not to like? I mean most awesome of anything awesome.

syd15 Why This Must Be Read: Lets finish this the way we started, with a Soulmate au. Gorgeous piece, not only because I like the fact that even though they look like babies on the show in this fic they are actually the ones growing old while the people around them stay 18, but because it deals with fitz's injury and Jemma leaving in very (at least for me) real way.
