Omigoodness hello!! I just found out you have a tumblr and I was so happy to see some AoS stuff posted here! I definitely didn’t binge through all of them when I still have an assignment due in 52 minutes… haha… not at all…
Something did pique my interest tho!! You mentioned Cal having an ‘angry conversation with Phil and May over how they handled Skye/Daisy’s situation’? I’m super curious what you meant by that! So could I please ask for maybe just a few more crumbs? 🥹🥹
Hope you have a great day! x
Hi Anon! Always lovely to hear from one of y’all. I’m glad to hear that you liked my stuff!
• when Skye/Daisy runs away from SHIELD after Lincoln’s death (yes, I was still gonna kill him), she constantly seeks refuge in Cal’s vet place, to the point where he becomes a trusted confidant. Eventually, he remeets Coulson and May, and has a sort of angry conversation for how they handled Skye/Daisy’s situation.
So! I actually really like the post-TAHITI protocol Cal and post-s3 Daisy dynamic that I made for them. Here’s a few things to start so y’all have all the context you need:
- Cal’s post-op name is Dr. John Winslow (DVM)
- Daisy first showed up after getting in a fight with the Watchdogs, she’s badly beaten up, she doesn’t know where to go, and the first place she thinks of is the clinic.
- She ends up passed out in the alleyway behind the building, and Dr. Winslow finds her and helps her clean up and patches her wounds.
- Daisy doesn’t confide in him at first because she’s afraid that too much info will override the procedure, but over time, she lets go.
- Dr. Winslow feeds her, cleans and patches her up as needed, and is generally very understanding. He’s basically Cal if nothing bad ever happened to him, and Daisy wonders if this is what it would’ve been like to grow up as his daughter.
- For a short period of time, she even lives with him in his apartment above the clinic. Dr. Winslow says it’s to keep her out of trouble, but it was actually because Daisy was slowly slipping into a depressive episode, and he wanted to keep an eye on her.
- Daisy learns to cook from him. Coulson tried to teach her, but it never stays. Dr. Winslow teaches her very simple things, starting with how to make rice and a simple broth to tide her over until her next meal (> this makes Coulson a teensy bit jealous. Just a teeny bit.)
- She reveals her powers to him after a few hours of knowing him. There’s no way of explaining her injuries without it, and something in her just trusts him. She was afraid of how he might react, but Dr. Winslow just nodded and offered her a drink.
- Daisy talks about her parents (Coulson and May) a lot, once even venting to Dr. Winslow about them when she was delirious from a fever. This is when he gets a bad impression of them, but he still respects that if she loves them as parents, he’ll be nice to them.
Basically, Daisy healing from her biological daddy issues. Because yes. Girl needs that. The ficlet will come later, probably. We’ll see.
