I finished this fic that has been sitting around for ages. Thank you wipbigbang

Story Title: Not a Moment too Soon

Fandom: Agents of SHIELD

Link: On AO3

Rating: PG-13

Word Count: 13,453

Summary: Do not go gentle into that good night ~ Dylan Thomas

Five scenarios where Phil Coulson decided that he wouldn’t just accept his impending death. And one where he didn’t get to choose.
(Set post season 5, all Philinda, partially Infinity War compliant, entirely unconnected possibilities for something to happen in Tahiti that would convince Coulson he wasn’t ready to die after all.)

Warnings: Spoilers for AoS s5 and Infinity War; Infinity War sometimes happens and so losses expected in those sections. Themes of death, illness, and loss. Non-graphic sex

Characters: Phil Coulson, Melinda May, cameos by many AoS characters and Avengers

Pairings: Phil Coulson/Melinda May

Disclaimer: Agents of SHIELD, the Marvel universe, and Tahiti are not mine

When I Started: Well, it would have been post AoS s5 and IW, so summer 2018

How I Lost My Shit: I got the story out but I knew it wasn’t good enough to post, unfortunately I didn’t have a beta reader at the time to help me get it into shape so it stayed in my drafts folder for a while and I eventually forgot about it

How I Finished My Shit: Unfortunately, this wasn’t the fic I had wanted to get done for this year’s WIPBB, but fortunately the challenge gave me the chance to pull this out of mothballs and finally get it ready to share. It took enough editing that I’m glad I didn’t try and do it on my own, but I think I’m happy with the final form.

Notes: So many thanks to the wonderful people who beta read this for me, some on short notice. I Couldn't have done it without you.

Hmm, once upon a time this was supposed to be my fic-journal, and I have debated over the years porting my livejournal over here. Instead it has languished for...going on seven years now, and the most I've done is added to my fic master post about things I didn't actually post here. I have pretty much set my tori_reviews self serving community for my TV reviewing of late, but some of it still ends up on lj.

But, for my grand return to posting anything on this journal, something between fic and a speculation post. Because the final season of Agents of SHIELD is coming and I have plenty of thoughts I've been trying to write about since the end of s6. So I opted to do it through the 1sentence structure to just throw it out there.


Fandom: Agents of SHIELD
Pairing: May/Coulson (both LMD and real versions)
Theme set: Gamma
Title: Can't Compete with Yesterday
Rating: PG-13 for a lot of talk of death and grief
Warning[s]: Spoilers through AoS s6 and the concepts for s7, wild speculation, not beta read, not a single continuity just a collection of potential moments. And lots of run-on sentences.
Notes: ( I tend to ramble in notes )
