Summary
May breathed out a long, slow exhale and nudged into park, staring sightlessly out the window. Her phone pinged with a text. Simmons, probably. Checking in. She wouldn’t trade what they had now for this world or any other, but she missed it, sometimes, the bustling base. Always having something to do, defensible walls.
The text was headed hi May. May stared at it for a long moment, keeping her palms wrapped around the steering wheel. She didn’t feel much like May, right then. Melinda, maybe. For once. Just a woman sitting in her car with an aching thigh and a switchblade in her pocket, feeling every single one of her fifty-two years. Exhausted with not doing a damn thing. She hadn't felt this way in so long.
She felt like Agent May, like she would never, ever be able to be anything else.
May shut her eyes hard and then opened them again. She muted the radio and pulled back onto the road, driving steadily towards home.
Or: May, Coulson, and Daisy, and moments from a day or two in the building of a new life. A story for learning to trust that the good things in your life are going to stick around, and for the days when even those good things are still a little bit hard.

Summary
No one stopped him as Booth took the elevator to the parking garage and strode to his car. Since it was the middle of the afternoon, traffic was light and he made it home in record time.
Which was perfect, because as soon as he walked through the front door a wave of nausea crashed into him and he had to make a run for the bathroom.

Summary
So waiting is something he’s become good at with her — a trick Sweets taught him that if you give someone enough silence they’ll often try to fill it and oftentimes, Bones fits the bill perfectly.
(Like when she’d told him she was pregnant in the middle of the street, all nerves and then all happiness.)
“You’re quite tactile,” she says, breaking the silence, sounding a little vulnerable.
“Huh?” he responds absentmindedly, his thoughts lost to memory for a moment even as her tone makes him pay attention.
