But here is the truth of nostalgia: we don’t feel it for who we were, but who we weren’t. We feel it for all the possibilities that were open to us, but that we didn’t take.
He wishes sometimes, in between the inhumans drama, incessant carving, undercover ops and less undercover ops, that he wanted a different life, a not-this-one sort of life. A mortgage and a 9 to 5 job and all that jazz. A life that would feel like a curtain, a wall, a blanket, a safety net, anything other than this. A life that didn't feel like a high speed chase that he knows will eventually end with his guts sprawled across the interstate, because Phil may be many things, but he's not that delusional

Okay, Doris, THAT WAS RUDE, I did not anticipate how emotional this fic would make me, but I am really emotional right now. Also: I did not know you watched AoS!!
And this reality, it's so tantalizingly close to the life in his head sometimes and it hurts sometimes when reality supplies images for his fantasies. It hurts sometimes how this earth is a better canvas for her than his own mind is.
Your way with words. I cannot. HOW DO YOU DO WORDS? PHRASES?
I AM OVERCOME THOUGH? Coulson has all these semi-ridiculous domestic fantasies, and May features in them not quite herself, only he turns around and finds that the reality of it all is a gazillion times better, because his fantasies could not COMPARE. (As it should be.) And he thinks he's weak for it

ha ha
because his scheduled fantasy time today is between 01:10 and 01:15lmao, of course, Coulson, of course. SCHEDULED FANTASY TIME. Very much the dry wit of the show replicated right there

At first when this ficathon started I was a bit sad because the first prompt I saw you leave was for fairy tail, and I was like "damn, i don't know that and i want to write rosa SOMETHING" and then luckily you prompted this and i wanted to fill it asap, because i may not ship it in the "i want you two to have 2.5 babies and a house" type of way, i do love their dynamic and i'm a bit in love with the way he's a bit in love with her, i think, so this was a lot of fun to write, so thank you for prompting it, is basically what i'm saying.
RUDE? GOOD <3
I DO watch AoS. I'm terribly late with it, well, not terribly, but I've only seen it up to 2x08 and need to catch up some more but I got sidetracked by writing and Faking It, but I'll watch the rest of it soon.
HOW DO YOU DO WORDS? PHRASES?
i ask that sometimes myself, though not in a good way :P but i have to admit i was soooo happy with the It hurts sometimes how this earth is a better canvas for her than his own mind is sentence, I added it to the fic after everything else was
( ... )
Oh, thank you <3 I don't even ship this in the ~traditional, "i want them to hook up and/or live happily ever after" way, but i'm in love with coulson being in love with may, and he is, at least some of the time <3
