[ Home vs. the Tranquility is an obvious choice for most people. For the ones from somewhere particularly awful, the ship's the better option; and for some, there isn't much of an option at all.
Fitz had spent several months thinking he was part of the latter group. He'd thought home meant certain death, so he should appreciate cheating it while he had the chance. Since that had been proven wrong, home had resumed being the obvious choice, despite all its complications — but now Jemma's here, and things are somehow better than they'd been back at the Playground. Add to that a friendly research team offering help to the passengers of the TQ, and the end result is dwelling on questions he probably shouldn't be.
And a broad question for the network, minus much context. ]
Whenever the ship's docked somewhere, it's been too dangerous to stay. But if it wasn't, or if you could get off the ship without going home, would you? If it were possible to go somewhere safe. Different, and not home, but safe.

don't you have unfinished business you'd be leaving behind?
no subject
but if time waits for you anyway, does it really matter?
I mean, technically this is the universe that's more real. It doesn't stop when we leave it.
no subject
we're real
here or there
what have you left behind?
no subject
And it's complicated.
It isn't worse than here, exactly, it's just that there are certain things here that are better.

Or it did, anyway. I might've already gone and messed that up.
You haven't met anyone here that you'd miss?
no subject
they're already gone, in the way people here go
the trick is to feel something and still remember where you belong
and the man I love isn't here
I suppose that makes it easy
what do you mean by messing that up?
