“I tell you I love you and in response you put a lemon on my bed?”

The origin of a tradition. Post 5×18 – “All Roads Lead…”, Philinda Oneshot

Thoughts

The MCU is depressing right now with that Infinity War ending (no spoilers here, I promise) and Agents of SHIELD barreling down towards the end of the world.  We need some fun.  And some lemons!

My last FanFic Wednesday was focused on the Avengers bonding time, now it is time for Philinda to finally get together!  Even if it is only in fiction.  Melinda may have finally dropped the “L” bomb to Phil a couple of episodes back, but all the good that has been for us Philinda shippers.  She is content to ignore any chance of talking it out.  Plus, there is that whole preventing the end of the world stuff going on.

While I feel like the Agents of SHIELD writers would have maybe done a better job of this, it is still a fun story to ready that also brings the tradition of lemon giving full circle.
