Summary
"What if The Framework really had fixed every regret to perfection? What if it had given them everything they ever wanted? With no catch."
_It wasn’t real? Her life, the one she remembered so well, wasn’t real. Melinda May stared up at the ceiling in horror, lain back on a bed in the med bay, her fists clenching and unclenching.
“Honestly it’s miracle your brain’s handling the duplicity of your memories so well. Though I am worried about your stress levels, your blood pressure is pretty high.” Simmons nattered on, “I’m going to need regular scans, of course, and I’d suggest talking therapy. You need someone to help you piece through what was reality and what was fiction, we don’t want you developing a personality disorder.”
“It’s all real to me.” May muttered bitterly.

Summary
“It’s not an order. The next few weeks, or months, or however long you decide to take off for is your vacation time, and I’m not going to try to make you spend it any way you don’t want to.” Coulson stood and took a few steps closer to her. “Skye… it’s crazy sometimes, how much she reminds me of you.” He looked away, his eyes sad and far away. “They all remind me of us, before…” he didn’t finish. He didn’t have to.
“Before life happened,” Melinda finished solemnly. “You’re afraid this is her Bahrain.” Her voice was quiet and rough as she looked at him. When he finally looked her in the eye, May suddenly felt very old. And tired. God, she was tired.
--
After the tumultuous events of the first two seasons of AOS, May takes Skye to a secluded safe house so that she can try to process it all. Nightmares, an exhausting case of food poisoning, and bonding over their complete incompetence in the kitchen leaves the two closer than they ever thought they would be.
A Melinda May & Skye|Daisy Johnson centric fic. Since this is set immediately after the season 2 finale, Skye is referred to as Skye for the majority of the fic.
