Title: Feelings That Are Real

Author: heartsdesire456

Canon: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D./MCU

Pairing: Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie/Leopold 'Leo' Fitz

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 16,319

Summary: Mack was getting really tired of certain aspects of the team. “You’re good for him.” “He seems better with you around.” “I just wanted to thank you. For helping Fitz. Well, for being his friend.” It was seriously getting old. He got that everybody else seemed to seriously think Fitz was broken or something, but it had gone from people thinking he had anything to do with Fitz getting better to people thanking him for being his friend.

Recommendation: Well this was great. I just love a good slow slide from just friends to something more when everybody's ready. Ah, so satisfying. Everyone comparing Mack to Asgardians 'cause of his size, tickles me. I also love the thought of big tough Mack sewing clothes for little kids, and Fitz being more than a little awed by this. Be sure to check out the sequel, Coming Home, that immediately follows this story.

So the weather has been kicking my butt, not in the "I live in a deep freeze" sort of way but more in a "these wild temperature fluctuations are setting off my migraines". :( I'm feeling okay right now, so I figured I should resist the urge to procrastinate to my day off tomorrow because I don't know if I'll be okay then.

While I haven't had much brain focus for thinky thoughts, I've actually been consuming canon media. o_O The spouse started season two of The Punisher while I was at work last Friday, but I got to see the rest as we stayed up to nearly midnight to finish it.

I'm going to attempt to put any spoiler-y things under a cut, ~~but I've not been 100% successful at doing that first time so look away if this doesn't precede a cut~~. XP

Now on to the canon media that I just finished this morning, I watched She-Ra! I'm a little behind the times, but not as much as I usually am and I am utterly in love. :D I was unfamiliar with the original show besides being able to pick out the character of She-Ra, but besides knowing that she was in some way connected to He-Man I didn't know anything. So while I went in with no preconceived notions, I didn't think it would really grab my attention. I was wrong. I loved the whole thing. I loved the designs for the characters and the settings, I loved the plot, I love the lore building, and I can't wait for a second season because I have so many questions!

But the thing I love the most is, ugh, the Catradora! I have a documented weakness for the former friends turned enemies but still really hung up on each other dynamic (Grindeldore, Clex, oh God, Cherik!). It is my jam. And these cute baby lesbians are playing my song.

I have loved this all so much that I have tried to make icons, because well I meant to start doing that and I just need more She-Ra in my life to tide me over to the next season. ;D
