Dual Correspondence

Pairing: HotchReid

Summary: Sequel to Correspondence, picking up where we left off. Spencer has moved in with Aaron and Jack, and everything is perfect. Until it’s not. But then it is again. And up and down they go, on a rollercoaster filled with every twist and turn that life can throw at them. Navigating such obstacles isn’t easy, or fair, with difficult foes and situations that test everything they are and dream to be together. But the thing about trying to be with someone you love through it all, is that sooner or later you realize the hard times don’t have to be conquered alone. 

Important Tags: established relationship, timeframe around season 8-9, self beta'd, shameless use of ‘The Five Love Languages’ as a theme, relationship problems and solutions, exploration of family dynamics, angst, fluff, sex, peril, swoon-worthy life events. (Do I have to say it? You all knew it was coming.)

CW: prominent age difference, probably some cursing let’s be honest, show-typical violence and psychopathology, sharps and guns at some point, discussions of relationships that get pretty deep and personal, talks of PTSD, mental illness (specifically Spencer’s mom), death (Haley’s) and mourning, personal boundaries (physical, emotional, and sexual), some miscommunication in places. But also mentions of marriage, adoption, families and all the shapes and sizes they come in. Finally, sexy times: explicit sexual content in certain chapters. More/specific CW/TW will be added as the story is written.

whether this was common knowledge or not, she absolutely disliked being in the cave alone-- even if she had ace at her side. for a connoisseur of all things dark, it's the one place that held too much energetic memory. she could coast along its deep halls and filter through every piece of emotional memory, stretching far back to when the original was just beginning to spread his bat wings. she only hated it because she needed to remain in control for a long period of time when she could be out patrolling with him instead. the raven only became his extra pair of eyes and ears once every other month or so-- his robin had to get a taste of gotham, too.

frantic activity sparked her interest, pulling away from listening to terry's voice for a moment to pay attention to the other screen on her right. vitals on both of their suits began to spring as the numbers jumped high and low, making her question if there was a malfunction, " boys, are you okay out there? both of your vitals are going off, " she always paid close attention to both of them, to matt especially since he grew more comfortable being out on his own. as she leaned in closer to the screen, a loud sound crashed upstairs-- ace's head popped up with ears sharply pointed up and looking to the doorway above. turning quickly, she pulls away from the desk to leave the screens unattended. switching from a headset to her wrist, she speaks, " terry, check on matt-- i'm heading upstairs for a second, " ace wouldn't be too far behind her as she began to ascend. intuition swelled in her stomach of danger as she crept higher up and into the light of the main floor.

rachel was capable of holding down the fort no matter the situation... it didn't mean she was invincible. the piercing silence that haunted the grand halls of the empty mansion placed her into defense, tapping into magic with just a flick of her wrist and waiting for the next sudden movement. today's society being so dependent on technology and hyperfocused on the next best digital asset crippled her to an extent. while she was aware, there were still certain avenues she would have to take in order for her power to take effect-- like being surprised by thick sheets draping over her to quickly blind the raven and pull her down. she can hear ace barking and growling in the room with her, knowing he'd spring into action. annoyed, she fought with the sheets until magic took hold and tore it off of her. she's met with a palm and its golden eye at the center... immediately mind-trapped in its flashy gaze.

okay so hear me out

edit: yeah those intersections were there before what are you talking about/s

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.

so i think solas's lyrium dagger is the same "blade that would end the war" from merrill's fen'harel story in da2 btw

and sam winchester voice get this. we know the dagger was extracted from da2's red lyrium idol right. and likely purified during the ritual discussed in tevinter nights. which is interesting because "a glowing blue blade that has the capacity to resist or possibly even cure the blight"?? sounded incredibly familiar to me :) so with that i would like to also point out the similarities btwn solas's dagger and the sword maric theirin found in the deep roads from david gaider's 2009 tie-in novel the calling. lol

also worth noting that he and fiona banged shortly after he found this sword, and later, after the birth of alistair, she found out she had been effectively cured of the taint and had somehow reversed the calling. the only grey warden ever recorded to have done so.

[eddiewithcat]

losing my mind actually just a little bit

THE WORDING IS SOOO… “instead of revealing that he is also in deeply in love…” WHEN THEY COULD’VE SAID SOMETHING LIKE “instead of charles saying” BUT …. revealing? such! a choice!

“…would not make sense for charles’ character” oh so basically you are telling us that he does in fact feel these strong feelings for his best friend but he is going to push it down, and act like they don’t exist and slap on a fake smile to really bring it home? like what he has been doing for everything else in his (non) life?

okay! okay yea! so cool! totally normal and calm about that!!!!

just wanted to add the second screenshot because i am also very curious on how the heck this confession will leave their friendship as time goes on…. hoping for the angsty route but i will take anything!

nnnnnnnnnnnnno maa'am

[starmaker-astral]

Do you think in season 3 all Soho will believe Aziraphale is dead ?

Because drunk crowley will be whining like : "Aziraphale is in Heaven right now [insert here random insults from a newly divorced drunk guy]"

And people will be like "oh gosh im so sorry for your loss"

And then Crowley will cry harder

[readthephible]
