Manueluv and I are convinced Agent K is Coulson’s father. Hell, MIB is even owned by Marvel.
Because Erin linked it on chat and somehow spawned…. this.
Two weeks after Phil gets the offer from SHIELD, his phone rings. An untraceable number. He picks up.
“Hi son.” It’s a voice he hasn’t expected to hear, since Dad is supposed to be in a coma in a hospital somewhere, but given all that he’s seen it really doesn’t surprise him. SHIELD has connections, after all, so he knows about the other agency of black suits.
“Mom’s going to be mad, you know.” Phil smiles just a little. It’s good to hear his father’s voice after thirty five years.
The man on the other end just laughs.
DUDE.
FUCKING FIC.
ALREADY.
THIS IS AMAZING. GOOD. YES. HEARTS.
“Seriously, bro, let’s just get married and avoid all this bullshit.”
Yeah…pretty sure 95% of the US population knows nothing about veterinary practices beyond the fact that “sick animal = goes to the vet.” And the 5% that do know about veterinary practices are either vets themselves or they’ve had need of a specialized service that a normal housepet vet couldn’t provide.
Sometimes you have to scrap a little reality to make a story work. On the grand scheme of things, and given that Juliette’s profession is one comparatively few people know much about, I’d say this was an acceptable flub for the sake of the narrative.
I’m not sure where I fall in either of those percentages. I’ve never had a large animal myself nor ever been tempted to be a vet. On the other hand my sister was studying for a while to be a large animal vet, and a chunk of my family did own cows at one point.
Mostly, I handwaved it as she works at a practice that has both small and large animal doctors, and she was the only one on call at the time, since it was pretty late at night. All she did was look at some injuries and take some hair samples, rather than anything involving surgery, interpreting scans, running samples, etc. Things she could have easily picked up if she worked with doctors who specialize in large animals and was called to assist now and again.
All right, 95% don’t know the difference, 4% do due to experience, and 1% know due to “other.” Congrats, you’re the 1%! ;)
Your explanation works. It really was a pretty minor detail. Nothing plot-shattering by my standards anyway.
Well, I grew up on a dairy farm, and did lots of work experience at a couple of the vet clinics in the city, and all the vets did both. Obviously they had preferences and specialities, but it was extremely common for someone to be working with cows or horses one day and a cat or dog the next. It varies obviously, but to deride it as “inserting her into the plot” is just petty and stupid. She’s a vet, it’s always been the case, and yes, characters are INSERTED into the plot. That’s how a story works.

Barton and Wilson: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. → “Oh and Wade? If you call me Clinton again, I’ll use that signed photo of Bea Arthur you keep in with your gear as target practice.”
“Oh, you fiend!”
Banner: But why me and why Sesame Street?
Coulson: Well, they are colorful creatures. You know… like… the Other Guy.
If only there were more fic I actually want to read being written for my fandoms sob sob sob
