Fandom: Agents of SHIELD
Characters/Pairings: May/Coulson (with brief appearance from Ward)
Rating: NC-17 for smut, but it’s smut with feelings
Word Count: 11278
Summary: Following events with the Berserker Staff, May is struggling with the best way to process her emotions. But she doesn't want to control her feelings where Coulson is concerned. And there's no one she would rather lose control with.

Spoilers/Warnings: While this diverges from canon in 1x08, there are spoilers for things revealed much later in canon (but I don’t think anything past s4; and the big spoiler is s1). There are various backstory traumas discussed (Couslon’s death, events in Bahrain). Extremely-mildly dubious consent (partially discussed)
Author's Notes: Many, many thinks to my beta reader for getting this fic to its final form and me to be willing to put it out there.
