In the Bleak Midwinter

A/N: Set in season 4.

***

“This sucks,” Deeks said, breathing out a cloud of icy fog along with the two words.

“Because I didn’t hear you the first 20 times,” Kensi grumbled.

“Well, it still sucks.” He rubbed his hands together with hope of bringing some warmth. If anything, it only made him more aware of the cold.

Of all the times for there to be blizzard-like conditions in the Midwest, it would just have to be when the one time they were pursuing an active case in Indiana.

Last week, Gabriel Heeds had stolen several gigabytes of sensitive data from his company, leading the FBI on a wild good chase across California before eventually disappearing. At that point, the FBI had asked other agencies to assist in pursuing Gabriel. Based on solid leads they received, they’d headed to his hometown of Winamac, Indiana.

They arrived three days ago, set up camp at the town’s Comfort Inn, and started searching for Gabriel. You’d think wouldn’t be that would be difficult in a town with a population of less than 2,500, but the locals were pretty close-mouthed. They’d spent the first two days were spent traipsing around the quaint down town area and the spacious farm land.

At first, the snow had seemed seemed kind of charming as it coated the little neighborhoods. Snow didn’t make it’s way to LA all that often, so Deeks might have made a snowman or two and even convinced Kensi to make a Snow Angel before they headed off for another round of interviews.

Now, even Deeks could admit that the weather was beginning to get old, especially as the snow piled higher and the temps dipped lower. Even with a wool hat, coat, and gloves, the cold air still managed to seep through. It didn’t help that he knew Sam and Callen were back at the reasonably warm hotel while they battled the gravel and dirt backroads to follow up on their single lead of the day.

Needing something to pass the time, and off Kensi’s less than careful driving—he winced as the tires lost traction for a few seconds—he opened the glove compartment and started sifting through the contents.

“What are you looking for?”

“Your candy stash,” he told Kensi. There was a half-empty water bottle, a used up chapstick, and several Twix wrappers. Any snack were decidedly absent.

“Hah, I moved it,” Kensi said smugly.

“By which you mean you ate it all.”

“I did not!”

He grinned at Kensi’s instant protest. Even after three years together, she still tried to deny her massive sweet tooth. Like he hadn’t watched her eat an stack of red velvet pancakes this morning.

“Uh-huh, then where’s that box of 100 Grand bars you bought last week?” he teased.

“I plead the 5th counselor,” Kensi said, leaning forward to squint out the windshield. “The the next turn should be coming up soon. Let me know if you see a Forest Drive.”

“I haven’t seen any signs for the last two miles,” Deeks told her, peering through the passenger window. He grabbed his phone and turned on the GPS. “Crap. Still no internet connection. Are you sure you didn’t pass it up?”

“Yes. Mrs. Marsh was very specific about her directions.” She glared at him, pulling her gaze back to the road almost immediately as the tires skidded across a patch of ice.

“Ok, well I’m thinking we should probably turn around if we don’t find it soon. It’s going to get dark in a couple hours and—Kens, look out!”

A deer darted from the brush along the road, freezing in the middle of the street. Kensi turned the steering wheel sharply, pumping the breaks relentlessly as the tires spun and then skidded on the freezing snow, sending them straight towards a snowbank.

A/N: Oh dear, whatever shall happen to them? Don’t worry, there will be a part 2.

Note, I live in Indiana so I’m allowed to complain about the weather. For anyone not familiar, there is indeed a town called Winamac, which is quite small and has a lot of farm land. I took a bit of creative license with the other particulars though.

So I’ve decided to shift all my Rick Sanchez/OC stuff from my twitter to here! Keeping that in mind I thought it’d be fun to write up a history of the AU their relationship takes place in!

Underneath the read more is detailed but not all-inclusive history of my oc Minnie and Rick’s relationship as it relates to canon. Enjoy! I put a lot of love into this story and all the art I’ve made and will keep making. Which I will also be posting here soon.

Minerva De Gaulle is the name of my oc. Here is some info on her:

She has her own storyline and universe and all that jazz but since her ORIGINAL story involves traveling through dimensions, I thought it would be fun to think about her and Rick interacting. This is what lead me to writing everything below.

So in this AU Minnie is the heir to a royal family in her home dimension, she is also part shapeshifter, and the traveling within “local” dimensions is commonplace in her world.

Civil war breaks out and the ten-year-old Minnie is assassinated, but since necromancy runs in her family, she is brought back. Pissed off and traumatized she decides to flee her home with the help of the Bureau of Interdimensional Affairs. In return for family secrets, they assist her and her grandmother Ophelia to emigrate to a dimension far far away from their home to start a new life.

This is where Rick joins the story.

Minnie is rehomed to his dimension. To his galaxy, to his solar system, to his planet, his country, his state, his town, and up the street from his house. (Fun fact that the Rick and Minnie I usually write and draw for are from Winamac, Indiana!)

Officially the way they meet for the first time is that the freshly dropped off Minnie, anxious yet curious of her new “human world” home, decides to take a walk around the neighborhood. She passes by Rick’s home and sees him playing alone with strange toys in his yard and approaches him.

I hc Rick as being extremely shy and quiet as a kid. Mostly due to his stutter being more severe back then, and he goes nonverbal occasionally, so he doesn’t say much to her since she’s a stranger.

She asks him what he’s doing and he says he’s “playing dinosaurs”. She asks what a dinosaur is bc they don’t exist where she’s from, and Rick opens up, happily infodumping to her bc he’s ten and loves dinosaurs. They quickly become best friends from this point on.

They grow up together and eventually move away from home together as young adults. (A LOT of stuff happens in between this time obvs but I’ll keep it short for now.) At this point in time, they are NOT romantically involved. There’s only a slight interest in each other but not enough to move on. (If you’d ask Minnie about this in the future she’d say that she and Rick “weren’t emotionally mature enough to date each other” at the time.)

Minnie ends up getting a job waitressing and meets Diane, forming a friendship. She then introduces her and Rick and they start dating. At the same time Minnie starts a piss poor relationship with a man named Gabriel. Rick and Diane get married and Minnie continues her relationship with her shitty boyfriend, and after a while, she ends up getting pregnant. She decides to keep the baby and she and Gabriel have a mutual parting of the ways.

Soon after Minnie gets pregnant, Diane gets pregnant too. Minnie gives birth to her son Anthony and Diane gives birth to Beth a few months later. The family is happily thriving for a while afterward. Minnie and Rick begin working on portal tech together from Rick’s garage. Unfortunately, Anthony ends up passing away from a type of cancer before he’s three.

Minnie has Anthony cremated and sends his ashes to one of those companies that makes ashes into gemstones. The green gem she wears around her neck is this stone. His death hits the family hard but over time they begin to adjust and heal. Minnie even ends up deciding to have another child and gets pregnant again through a donor service.

Everything is looking up for a while, and then Rick has his encounter with the Weird Rick. Minnie was not present during the encounter or the explosion but the stress of the aftermath causes her to miscarry. Rick and Minnie reel from the losses for some time before coming together to finish the portal tech.

Everything from this point on is basically the same (the revenge killing, the flesh curtains, the galactic rebellion, ect.) except Minnie is with Rick, traveling the cosmos, hand in hand for the next 25-ish years. There is a deep love and connection between them during this time but it doesn’t stretch into romantic or physical involvement yet. Notably, they seem to find themselves falling for each other around 35-40 years old.

About the time they reach the age of 50 they’ve started to have enough of the bullshit. Rick is going through his canon hopelessness phase and starts to drink himself half dead. And the decades of killing people with her best friend's face are starting to wear thin on Minnie. Around the time the other Ricks have started banding together to fight against our Rick and Minnie, Minnie starts to suggest that she and Rick say fuck it and give up. That they should go to some far-off dimension and try to start a new life free from any of this nightmare they’ve been dealing with.

Rick is closer in personality to S1 Rick at this time and lashes out at her. Feeling betrayed and abandoned by her wanting to give up even though he feels the same way. To him, he can’t truly ever give up, even if he does other things for a while like the flesh curtains or the rebellion he can’t give up entirely.

Minnie and Rick are deeply in love by this point but both are unwilling to say or do anything about it. (Mostly because of guilt over Diane, but also bc of fear that they might ruin their friendship if things don’t work out. For a long time, all Rick and Minnie had was each other. They don’t know what they’d do if they didn’t have that. *cough* severe codependency *cough* But they’re about to find out…)

Minnie had been thinking about ending the hunt for Weird Rick for a long while and is ready to leave. She BEGS him to come with her but he is stubborn and hurt and drunk and he refuses. But Minnie is stubborn too, and she promises she’ll come back to visit him and continue to ask him to join her. He still tells her to leave and she does.

After this is when Rick agrees to help build the Citadel and the Central Finite Curve. (This part of the story is obviously a little loose bc we don't have all the canon info for this stuff yet lol. But essentially, Minnie goes out for a pack of cigarettes and rick locks the door behind her.)

I like to think that he didn’t know the CFC would lock her out forever or be nearly impossible to take down. But when he learns about what it would take to bring it down he refuses to do it, knowing that Minnie would never approve of the destruction and death it would cause and would never forgive him for it. This is one of the biggest regrets of his life, but over time he fully accepts to live the rest of his life without the most important person in the multiverse to him.

Everything continues on canon adjacent for about 10 years until the CFC gets taken down by Evil Morty. AGAIN, this information may change when the new season comes out, but as it stands now, Minnies start flooding back into the universes they were locked out of.

The lack of portal fluid prevents our Rick from actively seeking his Minnie out but he’s basically an anxious wreck once he realizes there’s a very real chance he may see her again. After a few weeks, he does in fact get reunited with her, I haven’t decided how they find each other again yet, but suffice to say it’s damn emotional.

Rick gets to introduce her to the family. (He’s really giddy and emotional in the period after Minnie returns and it weirds the whole family out lol.) But now he also has to juggle all the lies he’s been telling to keep things normal.

The major thing is that Beth doesn’t remember Minnie from her childhood bc her original father didn’t have a Minnie, so she feels like her dad has been lying to her by omission this whole time. And Rick has to beg Minnie not to tell the family that he’s not their original Rick. (“I won’t bring it up but if she asks me about it I’m not gonna lie to her.”)

Minnie has to adjust to EVERYTHING:

The fact that Rick integrated himself into a Smith family while she was gone and now she has to deal with interacting with a woman who shares the same name and face of her goddaughter who died decades ago.

Birdperson was killed by the Galactic Government and was brought back and turned into a murder cyborg but then Rick brought him back again and oh also he has a child somewhere too so thats normal.

Where the hell is Squanchy her good friend Squanchy??

Rick never told anyone in the family about her. On the surface, she understands his reasons for doing this but it eats away at her inside and causes her IMMENSE pain that bubbles up from time to time before she loses it on Rick at one point. (Cue steven universe Bismuth scene: “You didn’t even tell them about me… You cast me aside and didn’t even tell your family! My family! That I even existed…”)

She and Rick have a lot of unspoken resentment about everything that happened and it comes out in aggressive and sometimes explosive ways s they start to readjust to life with each other. But they are both so different now… Minnie has gone through healthy growth and change from her trauma and is a much calmer and more rational person. (rick: “why are you acting so nice? Show them how fuckin crazy you are.”) Clashing with Rick’s succumbing to vast substance abuse and emotional trouble. He’s far more manic and cruel since she last saw him and it hurts her to see him in such pain. Morty tells her about Wubba Lubba Dub Dub and she is Distressed tm.

They’re still in love and have a deep cosmic connection that will never go away so now what are they supposed to do about these feelings??? Kiss????? Probably. (After quite a bit of healing is done anyway)

Summer is VERY entertained by the immediately obvious truth that her grandpa and this new lady are in love and constantly refers to them as if they were already dating. They hate this.

Just like Ricks have a predisposition to be a little sweeter to their girls (Beth and Summer), Minnies have a proclivity for their boys (Especially if the Minnie in question has lost a son) so Morty quickly becomes her “precious baby boy”. It’s embarrassing and annoying sometimes but let's be honest Morty needs the positive love and attention.

OTHER NOTES:

You may be asking yourself, what about all the other Ricks and Minnies? How did the CFC affect them? Well, characteristically, Minnies have a reputation for their strength and morals, which have no place in the citadel or inside the curve (remember that it was made to exploit others and glorify Ricks). Minnies would not stand for it so they were cast out. (It’s also worth noting that most Minnies are very intelligent, and the competition was a threat to the Ricks and their egos) So Minnies were either killed, locked out by trickery or force (separating them from their Ricks), or had to hide themselves EXTREMELY well to live within the curve. (Which only a handful of Minnies did successfully.) The Ricks who refused to leave their Minnies were also cast out, you can’t be a part of the CFC if you have a Minnie.

Minnie’s are not spoken of inside the curve and it goes without saying that most if not all the Ricks who participated in the Morty farming never had any Minnie’s themselves and were exhibiting Minnie-less Behavior.

And in fact, when the CFC goes down a huge chunk of Ricks are shocked to hear that she ever existed at all. Some thought she was just a myth. Some feel like they missed out by never meeting or “having” one. Minnie’s become a bit of a status symbol. (“not all of us are privileged enough to have had a Minnie Zeta-12. ”) And the Ricks who chose to leave their Minnies for the citadel are looked down on.

Minnie has an intense desire to be a mother and have a family. The fact that she ends up never having any living children and in fact seemed to become infertile over time is a point of great sorrow for her.

Minnie knows sign language and taught it to Rick when they were kids. She was also very patient concerning his stutter and defended him against people who would interrupt, insult, or talk over him. This helped Rick immensely in overcoming his shyness, nonverbality, and poor self-esteem as a child. In turn he taught her Spanish!

Minnie most definitely has undiagnosed autism. Another reason why she and Rick get along and understand each other so well.

When Minnie learns about the cloning thing she’s like “Space Beth?? No we’re not doing all of that. Just call her your sister Bethie she’s basically a twin anyway.” And nicknames Space Beth “Bea-Bea” after Rick’s tendency to nickname people repeating things like (in canon) Sum-Sum or Gai-Gai. And (in my AU or headcanons) Min-Min for Minnie, Dee-Dee for Diane, and Bun-Bun for a stuffed rabbit he has as a child.

That seems like all the key points for now! If you read the whole thing and got to this point I love you and you may take tomatoes from my garden. I’ll keep posting any new stuff I write for Rick and Minnie and anything I want to expand on in the future here on this blog. And I’ll definitely be drawing for them too! I can’t wait for you to see it <3

Thanks for reading!
