@etxrnaleclipse for 🎰 5 random muse pairs

Gloriousness awaits below the cut, cuz it long. It very long.

Matt Stirling - Niamh Murphy

Not every soul makes it to the afterlife. Some get stuck. Especially those yearning for closure, haunting the realm of the living until their murderer is found. Niamh is a spirit farer, an expert in handling souls and taking them to the afterlife. She's also an expert in being dubbed a weirdo and a fake. But what she's definitely not an expert in, is cracking murder cases. So it happens that after getting the boot again, and again, and again with the local police, Niamh ends up at Matt Stirling's doorstep. Initial wariness aside, his knowledge of human nature tells him that trusting the Irish loudmouth is at least worth a shot. And really, she manages to pull important hints out of thin air that eventually lead to closing a cold case. Now they keep working together every now and then, with Niamh providing sometimes vital information for Matt's undercover work, and Matt keeping her out of trouble. It's an unlikely friendship, but they somehow made it work.

Eric Carlson - Liam Talbot

Petty criminal, spellslinger with no formal education. When Eric Carlson accepted his latest target, it should have been a walk in the park. William Donovan Talbot. His dark magic escapades have claimed quite a lot of lives. Collateral damage. But no excuse. He knew how to go about things, and tracking down his target was a breeze. But that would be when the easy ended and his assignment would quickly veer into the realm of the impossible. Because Liam proved to be quite resistant to being killed. Neither had the upper hand over the other. No gun-fu and vampiric reflexes, no hexes and thievish hiding skills could turn the tide. The longer their enmity persisted, the more absurd it would feel. In moments of weakness, both felt drawn to each other. They could fight, then end up in each others arms, but the next morning Eric would have his gun pointing at Liam and Liam had a hex on the tip of his tongue. Where there were insults and teasing, there was a mutual understanding, and eventually they both had to admit that they were just both broken in their own right, and perhaps deserved each other.

Leopold Grimm - Robyn Whittaker

One early morning, the sun had only just began creeping over the horizon, Robyn heard a frantic knock at her door. She was ready to haul the disturber over the coals, but when she answered the door, her anger turned to sympathy in the course of a very short-lived rant. The man outside was remarkably young and exceptionally old at the same time. His face was weatherbeaten and fresh scratches met ancient scars on a canvas mostly obscured by the hood of his heavy coat. The man was pleading to be invited in, to escape the sunlight. His story was so absurd, it could've been straight from a novel. Perhaps even her own. In a bout of bravery Robyn let the vampire in and they spent the entire day talking. With the sunset, the vampire would leave and Robyn was left wondering if their encounter had been all but a dream. A few nights passed and she would find an unstamped letter at her doorstep, in beautiful cursive with a little bouquet of dried forget-me-nots. No, she wouldn't forget him. She'd see to it that he lived on, in stories that would make his infinitely sad eyes light up with joy again.

William Brandt - Gabriel Herrán

Switching sides had been working out for the better of two months now, and though Gabriel was mostly confined to work in a dull, stuffy office, giving the occasional briefing to cops so thick it made him wonder how he was ever worried about being caught in the first place, he had accepted it as his new normal. A somewhat purgatorial normal, a monotonous normal. That was until one fateful day he was very ceremoniously escorted to the IMF hq, where he was to meet his perfect doppelgänger. Or was he the doppelgänger? William Brandt and Gabriel Herrán spent an eternity walking circles around each other, like to stray alley cats getting to know each other. William had studied every detail of Gabriel's (thanks to Detective Carlisle's relentless efforts) impressive file. Gabriel was studying William's gestures and mannerisms and adopting them in a frightening speed. Finally he was tasked with something more than office work. Finally Gabriel could really prove himself. And that this was being dubbed an impossible mission, only fulled his enthusiasm. He agreed before he had heard William's full proposition.

Vaneza da Silva - Maria Delgado

Undoubtedly having inherited her father's curiosity, stubbornness and sadly his quality of being a trouble maker magnet, too, Vaneza eventually landed herself in a bit of a mess; During a tense protest in downtown New York, Nessa navigated through the crowd, determined to capture the event's raw energy. Amid the chaos, she got pushed to the ground, hitting her head. Maria Delgado spotted her fall and rushed to help, her calm presence a stark contrast to the surrounding turmoil. As Maria tended to her wound, they exchange names and banter. They shared a few laughs, leading Nessa to joke about getting into trouble just to see Maria again. To preempt Nessa's impish nature, she gives Vaneza her number - under the pretext of medical follow-up. But they both felt a spark of connection that hinted at something more.
