===Common Tropes & Themes===
* The Fall - Episode tag to "FZZT", especially the scene where Ward jumps immediately after Jemma despite the danger of it is very important to fans and is thus often seen in fanworks or talked about. It's often dealing with the missing scene of Grant catching Jemma and injecting her with the anti-serum and their landing in the water, or dealing with the aftermath or build up before he jumps after her. (Missing Scenes, FZZT by sammie28)
* Berserker!Ward - After Ward controls an Asgardian warrior staff named the "Berserker Staff" which floods the holder with uncontrollable rage and super strength, many fanworks dealt with the [possible] aftermath. (Berserk Her by seriousfic)
* Aliens Made Them Do It, usually an artifact makes them do it or admit their feelings. (Guard Your Heart by jdphoenix)
* Hydra!Jemma - Soon after it was revealed that Ward was Hydra,Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 Episode 17 "Turn, Turn, Turn" an interest of fanworks/headcanons where Jemma was also Hydra and was partners with Ward appeared.
** In Season 2Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Episode 3 "Making Friends and Influencing People" it was revealed to be partially canonized, where it's revealed that Jemma joins Hydra as a double agent. This usually inspires works to focus on Jemma confronting Ward in prison and/or asking for help with her undercover. (every doubt we had is coming undone by thequeenofokay, they go along to take your honey by kamikazehearts)

* Magnetism by always_a_queen, Mature, Jemma touches it before she can stop herself, fingers stretching out to brush the intricate strands of metal that weave together to form the necklace's pendent.

* The Temporary Wife by sammie28, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." Still, since it was rather gauche to advertise for a wife, Grant Ward advertised for a nanny instead. (AU; Based off a book)
