When Jemma gets sucked into a parallel dimension, it's up to Fitz to get her back. The Jemma he finds, however, is not the Jemma he expected. Things get complicated. (AU based on the Doctor Who episode The Girl Who Waited)

His speech may be stuttered, and her words may no longer complete his sentences, but he is still finely tuned to most things concerning Jemma Simmons. (Or the one where Fitz gets slightly injured during a mission and Jemma gets more than slightly upset about it.)

In light of recent events, Skye is determined that the team's Secret Santa exchange goes off without a hitch. But things don't always go as planned, and Fitz finds himself with more than one reason for not wanting to participate. Set after What We Become.
