Okay but the thing that gets me the MOST about Fitz’s ring is that its on his bad hand. For the rest of his life whenever he is stressed or confused or anxious or concerned and his hand starts to ache or tremor or clench, he’ll feel that ring and he’ll know that no matter what is happening at that moment, he and Jemma are together forever and nothing is impossible.
When Chemistry teacher Jemma Simmons meets Providence High School’s new physics teacher, Leopold Fitz, the most she expects is to become bitter rivals with the intelligent and competitive former engineer. Instead, they become best friends. But between their constant bickering and lack of personal space, their students (and some of their colleagues) think there’s something more to it. Who knows? Maybe there is.
Summary: When Jemma Simmons and her lion daemon arrive at SHIELD Academy, they don’t really find anyone that interesting - except, that is, for Leopold Fitz.
The air around Jemma was cold and stale, her closed eyelids were not enough to dim the room’s lights, and someone was holding her left hand so tightly that it hurt.
Waking up was more difficult than it should be, and it took her a lot of wincing and blinking to adjust to the bright fluorescents. One of her legs was completely immobilized, she was clearly in a hospital room, and her head swum in a medicated fog reminiscent of when she’d had her scoliosis surgery as a young girl. When she finally had her eyes open, she looked around the miniature, sterile room to get her bearings. Her right leg was raised above the mattress in a sling and covered with a hard cast. Caedmon lay curled in as small a ball as he could manage at the end of the bed, fur singed in multiple places and cuts scattered along the entire side of his body that she could see. Jemma’s hand was being held captive, to her surprise and confusion, by Fitz; he had it clutched against his chest as he leaned his head on the mattress next to her, shoulders shaking as he cried.
