why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride?

Summary: Your business is yours and mine is mine.
Characters: Isagi Yoichi, Alexis Ness & Michael Kaiser
(A/N: It’s a companion fic to my other Isaness fic, “the garden of illusions.” It can be tag as a short sequel to the events in that fic or you can read it as a standalone fic. Either way is fine. Inspired by Ariana Grande’s, “yes, and?” song. I don’t own anything from the franchise. Respective ownership belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura for this wonderful manga and Ariana Grande for this catchy yet explicit song.)
In case you haven't noticed Well, everybody's tired And healin' from somebody Or somethin' we don't see just right
Harsh breathing escaped from his lips as Ness stared at the screen which displayed the current scores of both teams.
Two and two.
Fuck.
It’s an even score now between the BM and PxG.
Ness can’t let that happen.
They needed to win.
There's no other possibility that he can entertain.
Besides, this was the perfect timing to display his usefulness to Kaiser.
However...
...
...He held the ball under his heel and was in perfect control as he scanned his surroundings, looking for Kaiser to pass the ball into.
Kaiser was not in the right position to pass the ball into.
Sweat trickled down his temples. Objectively speaking, if he passed the ball to Kaiser, it was a risky and false move. It could be easily blocked by one of their defenders.
Or worse, Charles might have the opportunity to take it and pass it to either Rin or Shidou.
He swallowed thickly as he looked at the other side of the field.
There stood on the other side of the pitch...
“Yoichi...” He mumbled under his breath as his feet were itching to kick the ball right into him, but he firmly stopped himself as there were two defenders blocking his path.
It’s riskier if he didn’t get it right and listened to his gut feeling rather than the cold, hard logic of his brain that’s supposed to be aligned with the objectives of BM which operated under the rationality of its players.
His heart thundered wildly inside his chest.
An onslaught of emotions and memories came flooding into his senses like a waterfall.
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin') Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind) And if you find yourself in a dark situation Just turn on your light and be like
“Why the hell are were here again?” Ness let out a disgruntled sigh as he tried to move inside the cramped space of the closet in futile. Isagi was beside him and there were a few spaces left between the two of them to which they could make a few movements inside the closet.
Nevertheless, it didn’t erase the fact that they’re in proximity with each other and he could feel the other’s body heat and warm breaths mingling around his skin which left him breathless and dizzy from the hazy sensation alone.
“Well, it’s past our curfew in the facility and we might get in trouble if one of the staff happens to see us in the monitor room so a hide and seek inside the closet might be helpful to us...” Isagi whispered lightly, sending an amused grin on his direction.
Ness was tempted to punch him and wiped off that complacent look on his face, but he kept to himself and glared at him, which was weakened because of the flush around his cheeks.
“So, being stuck here with you is the most viable solution for this? Stop being so full of yourself.” Ness hissed but he couldn’t look him in the eye or else he might’ve combusted and burned his entire face in mortification and something else entirely. But he could already feel the tips of his ears growing hot at the effect of their sudden proximity with each other.
He felt one of Isagi’s fingers brushing along his chin and tilting it upwards so that their eyes could meet.
Amethyst orbs clashed against his sapphire irises.
Ness couldn’t look away as he was held in place by Isagi. He just inwardly prayed that the other could not hear or feel the erratic heartbeat inside his chest.
“It’s the most convenient solution after all. And don’t go on pretending that you don’t like it here when I can see clearly that you want me here as much as you do.” He replied throatily.
Before Ness could retort he found himself enveloped in a deep yet tantalizing kiss as Isagi had perfectly captured his lips in a heated embrace and Ness’ traitorous body had developed a mind on its own and entwined his arms around his neck.
Both of Isagi’s hands had made their way towards his hips and gripped it sensually, crowding him to the side of the closet as he continued to devour his lips in a wild and passionate kiss.
Electrifying sensations shot through his nerves at Isagi’s ministrations on his body, but he couldn’t pull away nor push him away to put a stop to this madness. He may be strong physically but a part of himself was weak against him and couldn’t stop the dangerous and slippery slope that they’re both falling onto.
Just how many times had they’ve done this already?
Fooling around behind their team’s back... specifically behind Kaiser’s back didn’t sit well right with him.
Nevertheless, why should it even matter now? Considering that Kaiser doesn’t see him beyond his own loyal lackey who was a convenient person for him to reach his dreams in soccer.
Something ill-feeling had festered within him at that bitter realization and prompted him to jump into Isagi’s arms and remove any remaining gap between the two of them and wrapped his legs perfectly around his hips for support and leverage.
If Isagi was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm and fervor, it was masked by his sensual precision of his touches and kisses along his body and every fiber of his being that drove Ness mad with want and need.
His eyes were closed as a muffled moan escaped from his lips, conveying the sheer ecstasy that the other was giving him.
He failed to see the other’s lips curled upwards, forming a dark smile on his lips.
"Yes, and?" Say that shit with your chest, and Be your own fuckin' best friend Say that shit with your chest Keep moving like, "What's next?" "Yes, and?"
His red bitten lips almost bleed with how harsh he must be biting it.
But considering that they’re in a risky place with a high probability that someone might catch them inside the closet, it was a small price to pay to keep the remaining shreds of his dignity intact.
“Fuck Alexis! Felt good around me...! It’s like you’re made to take my cock alone!” Isagi whispered breathlessly inside his ear as a low groan escaped his lips.
Ness’ legs quivered and his body shook like a leaf against him.
With Isagi railing him like an animal in heat and whispering dirtily in his ear, it was proven to be difficult to keep his silence which was tethering around the edges as a muffled, lewd moan slipped past his sinful lips.
“Hmmm? You’re awfully quiet Alexis. Where’s that pretty voice of yours hmmm? It’s a shame that I can’t hear your pretty moans now compared to how whiny and needy you are when were in the bedroom together.” Isagi whispered and licked at the shell of his ear seductively.
“Ngh... Don’t get cocky now you clown... Fuck...! As if I— Ah— wanted to parade myself around the others...!” Ness moaned out as he glared at him which was weakened as a helpless mewl escaped his lips when Isagi rolled his hips teasingly against his hips and let his cock buried deeper inside of him and brushed along his sweet spot.
“But you’re willing to parade your lewd self in front of me hmmm?” Isagi asked throatily and before Ness could shot him down with a snarky remark, he sealed his lips in an open-mouthed kiss and swallowed all the remaining moans and mewls escaping him as he continued to piston his insides in wild abandon.
“Not that I mind though. I’d want to be the only one who can see this side of yours.” He mumbled hotly against his lips and Ness felt a tremor around his body before he reached his climax and painted their chests with the hot, splashes of his cum.
Isagi followed soon not right after, groaning inside his mouth as he emptied himself and painted his walls with the thick, ropes of his cum.
Ness could only mewl like a helpless kitten against him as he was filled to the brim instantaneously.
He was caught in the enemy’s trap, and it might be his utter yet sweetest downfall in the future.
Now, I'm so done with caring What you think, no, I won't hide Underneath your own projections Or change my most authentic life
“Ness! Over here! What are you waiting for?” Kaiser’s loud voice jolted him out his thoughts and brought him back to the present.
Fuck.
Why did he have to have thoughts like that in the middle of the match?
God, he was pathetic.
His eyes met Kaiser’s and the latter seemed to be harboring an impatient expression on his face.
But his gaze also caught Isagi’s...
...
There was an unidentifiable emotion brewing inside of his azure irises.
He didn’t speak nor signal anything to him.
But a sheer anticipation wreathed along his senses.
Along with this, a blinding light engulfed his entire being as he broke their weighted gazes with each other and let his body speak for itself.
His magenta orbs locked themselves into the net and in a blinding speed, he gave a swift kick of the ball that neither of the opponents had anticipated at.
The magician.
The heart of BM.
The chained midfielder of Kaiser.
Broke free of the chains and did the unthinkable.
The impossible.
Which had been a possibility now as the ball landed perfectly inside the net and the shrill whistle resounding around the field flooded his senses.
Three to two.
BM won the match.
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time) Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It's mine, it's mine) What's mine is mine My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise) Don't comment on my body, do not reply Your business is yours and mine is mine Why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride? Why?
“What was all about that earlier Ness?” Kaiser’s cold, unrelenting voice is what greeted him in their room upon getting inside after taking a quick shower earlier after the match.
In the back of his mind, he anticipated that this would come but not too soon.
But he knew that he needed to face the consequences of his impudent actions against Kaiser earlier. However, there wasn’t an ounce of trepidation within him as he could only feel the burst of energy still running inside his veins.
“What was what Kaiser?” He asked casually as he slung the towel in one of the coat hangers before he felt a tug to his wrist and Kaiser had spun him around to face him.
“Stop playing like an idiot and answer me Ness. Why did you do that earlier in the field? You’re not a striker and it was a damn risky move if—.”
“You’re not open Kaiser and you know what I mean. I just observe the situation objectively and align with the rational goal of our team and that is to win by any means.” Ness cut him off calmly and shook his wrist off from him.
Kaiser could only bark out mocking laughter at his response.
“Really? Since when did you become like that huh? Ever since you hang out with Yoichi and let that shitty clown play you like a fiddle, you’re getting fucking weird now.”
Ness clenched his fists to the side before he offered Kaiser his smile which was leaden with sharp alacrity and coldness.
“This has nothing to do with any other thing or even the people I associate myself with Kaiser. It’s the simple fact that I scored because I was in a position that has a high probability of scoring. Do not worry because I’ll be sending you a pass next time if I see you wide open and can reach the goal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I still need to get some dinner at the cafeteria.” He replied in a placid voice and walked right past him to get out of the room, not even looking back to see the expression on his face as he closed the door behind him.
As he walked along the corridors, his gaze landed on the familiar figure leaning on the walls with his hands inside his pockets.
“What are you doing you clown?” He scoffed lightly at the sight of Isagi staring at him.
“Doesn’t it look so obvious? I was waiting for you.” Isagi replied simply as he walked towards him and took one of his hands and guided him towards the cafeteria.
“Why?” Ness asked as he ignored the fluttering feeling inside his stomach.
“So, that we can celebrate together.” Isagi paused and looked at him with that closed off smile of his. “It’s not a celebration without the hero of the match after all.”
His words sunk in, and he let himself be whisked away by the blue-eyed striker to somewhere where they could exist in a spellbinding moment against the world which was crumbling at their feet.
"Yes, and?" (Yes, and?) Say that shit with your chest, and (Say that shit with your chest) Be your own fuckin' best friend (Oh, be your own, be your own) Say that shit with your chest (Say that shit with your chest, baby) Keep moving like, "What's next?" "Yes, and?" "Yes, and?" Say that shit with your chest, and Be your own fuckin' best (Be your own) friend Say that shit with your chest Keep moving like, "What's next?" "Yes, and?" (Yeah)
(A/N: When I first heard the song of yes, and? By Ariana Grande, I thought it was catchy yet explicit as hell especially the lyrics of, “Why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride?” which was Isaness coded hence this fic was born. Reviews are amusing so let me hear them from you.)

plural isat au. everything's the same at first except loop is actually just in siffrin's head instead of having the weird, like, meta-telepathy
so sif goes back to the favor tree and he's just like well wait why did i come here again and then they just hear [Hello, Stardust!~] in the back of their mind
the favor tree would probably still be the spot they go to talk at length bc it's more tranquil there, easier to focus on the discussion at hand rather than everything else
i feel like the bigger divergences in terms of plot wouldn't come until very late, but i think that different perspective might at least be fun to write to get up to that point lol
#💡// or maybe loop encourages him to break from the script more often? since they're right there with them?#which could lead to earlier divergences but ultimately probably not given the nature of time loops lol#i'm kinda imagining some deep conversation in the observatory room as the loops progress#maybe they only find it after isa's friendquest. or maybe they found it before but think it'll have some new meaning to them#and of course they can't teach the team about stars. but they can try. n either way the view ends up being very introspective#maybe that's when the “who are you” conversation happens

((I still can't get behind the whole 'Ali/sa and Pol/ina are the same character' theory (although I can absolutely see why people think so, the threads for such a story beat are there) and I, as far as characterization and etc on this blog goes, will keep them separate.))
#;;ooc: mun muttering#the angle presented via the cop route (the story of his hometown and the missing kids) is far more interesting & plausible to me#to say nothing about the shit dealing with the forest master and how A/lisa exudes her presence and etc#not to mention the lore from the og novel which might also come up in the vn adaptation#...I'm....very picky about this vn LOL#...it's a whole thing; dw dw#this is a massive tldr; post bc my theories are fucking huge (ya'll know me ) and I don't want to ramble too much#ch5 whennnnnnnnnn aaaaaaaaaa I'm dying for more content and the finale#now listen; if ch5 changes what's stated in the og novel? okay I'll see about working with it..or just have her be canon divergent#we'll see; basically! but rn? separate girls!

26 Years - Chapter 2: 2x02, The Devil's Breath
Summary: The team is called in when Colombian authorities discover an American tourist dead in the alley behind a hotel room. Someone is using scopolamine - the "Devil's Breath" - to put tourists into a trance, force them to clean out their bank accounts, and then kill themselves to prevent them from talking to the authorities.
or
The IRT investigates the apparent suicide of an American in Colombia who emptied his bank account prior to his death. While Jack and Clara are struggling to find a way/the courage to tell the team (minus Emma and Isa) about their relationship.
Author's Notes: Wow, it's been 8 months since I've updated time flies. Okay I have to admit there was a time I forgot this story existed but then again I've had so much happen since posting the last chapter from graduating to starting a new school year, some relatives visiting, getting sick, and exams. Hopefully, the next few chapters won't take as long since while writing the draft for this chapter I also wrote drafts for the other chapters it just needs a bit of editing.
WARNING: I DON'T OWN CRIMINAL MINDS: BEYOND BORDERS, IT BELONGS TO ERICA MESNER AND CBS
GIF credit belongs to @butterfly-resources since that's where I saved the GIF. Also please consider this gif as a spoiler for what’s gonna happen near the end of the chapter.
Poverty does not destroy virtue, nor wealth distill. - Colombian proverb
A few days after the case in Tanzania, everything was more or less the same as before. The only difference was that the team, more specifically Mae, was starting to get hints that there was more to the two most senior agents of the team than meets the eye and had been slyly suggesting it to the rest of the team, much to their slight annoyance. It doesn't help that the ME's also been trying to get insight from Emma and Isa or see if she can get Jack or Clara to tell her the truth, though more slyly with the former than the latter. But to her credit, the others were also attempting to do the same, though they were not as obvious as her.
Mae's latest attempt happened while she and Clara were having a cup of coffee, or in Clara's case, tea, since coffee gives her migraines. While they were enjoying their beverages while catching up on a few things, Mae slyly brought up the events of the previous case by saying, "Sooooo... Will you finally explain to me what happened in Tanzania?" then rested her chin on her hand while her friend was playing with the string of her tea bag while trying to keep a straight face and hide the bit of blush that's creeping up her cheeks, then said after a few beats of silence, "I have no clue what you're talking about." The ME gave the linguist an 'Are you serious' look then clarified "I'm talking about what happened between you and Jack at the train station near the start of the case". At that moment, Clara knew what her friend was trying to do and managed to get an "Oh, that." before looking down at her tea, then back to Mae and adding, "That was nothing." She then took a large sip of her tea, a little too quickly, to try and move this topic along. Though her friend wasn't that convinced, she replied, saying, "Oh, really, since from what I saw it wasn't, nothing. Is there something going on with you two or something?"
Thankfully, before Clara could respond, their phones buzzed, informing them they've got a message from Monty telling them they've got a case, saving Clara from trying to explain to Mae that nothing was going on between her and Jack when there most certainly was; they're freaking married, for crying out loud. As she looked up from her phone, Mae joked, "I guess you're safe for now, Seger. But let me tell you this: We'll get to the bottom of this and when I mean "we" I mean me, Matt, Isa, Monty, and Emma." then gets up to leave, to which Clara chuckles, knowing that Isa and Emma know what's going on with her and Jack and that her real surname is Seger-Garrett, not just Seger, then stands up to leave closely behind her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While Mae was trying and failing to get Clara to let the cat out of the bag, the two youngest agents were listening to a podcast about events in Philippine history while one was working on a short essay and the other was simply doodling on a notepad. As the last episode of the first season started, Isa groaned and leaned back into her chair, then Emma paused the episodes and gave the Filipina a questioning look, to which the slightly older girl pouted. Just then, Matt walked up to them, unsure what was going on, and spoke up, slightly shocking the two young agents: "Hey guys. Uh, what's going on?" to which the bronde replied "Isa wants to skip an episode of a podcast we're listening to," which made the brunette slightly annoyed, then explained, "I want to save my sanity and blood pressure. Plus, do you want me to go on a rant that could last who knows how long about how the whole Martial Law in the Philippines BS was and still is propaganda made by former President Marcos Sr.'s enemies and people who hate him?" to which Emma simply said, "Heck no."
At this point Matt was still unsure what was going on turned to Emma and asked "What podcasts exactly are you two listening to right now, and what's so bad about one of the episodes that Isa wants you to skip an episode?" to which the younger girl replied "We're listening to "Yugto: Get Mad About Filipino History" and the episode in question is titled "Death of a Politician: Ninoy Aquino" and I have no clue why Isa wants to skip it." at this Isa answered making things sound obvious "It's about Ninoy Aquino's assassination, which sparked the first EDSA Revolution." upon hearing that Matt understood what's happening but confused, so he asked "I don't see what's wrong with that, it sounds interesting. So what's the problem?"
At that young Filipina blew out a sigh, then went into a short rant about Martial Law and something about Marcos Sr., then huffed and quietly exclaimed "Sometimes it drives me insane how tanga Pinoys can be sometimes". As she finished, Emma decided to change the topic by speaking up and asking, "Okay, so are we gonna listen to the remaining episodes?" to which Isa firmly replied, "Ay, hindi. All the remaining episodes are about presidential elections, since we already listened to the episodes about the athletes, and I don't like political crap." At that, the slightly younger girl nodded, though she doesn't look up from her notepad, which is now covered in doodles, and replied "Sooo what podcast are we gonna listen to now, and please don't say "Sounds and Stories of the Philippines"; we've listened to that a couple of times now, though can we still stick to events in Philippine history". "How about LAGIM or Philippine History Z?" Isa suggests after a few moments of silence, then Matt speaks up after a couple of beats, "What's the first one about since the second one seems self-explanatory?" And for the first time since Matt walks up to them, Emma looks up from her notebook, slightly interested in the first podcast Isa suggested, then says, "Yeah, what's the first one about? It sounds interesting".
"LAGIM is a Filipino true-crime podcast about infamous and not-so-well-known cases in the Philippines." Isa responded, reading the podcast description, then adding, "It also kinda helps that lagim means dread/terror/fear in Tagalog, and yes, they include gory details, at least some do since some of the cases that are talked about are murders, but some are not, like the episode of the Michael Meiring Mystery, aka the Evergreen Hotel Explosion". Emma nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "I like that one though, can we skip the ones that sound too brutal?" Isa replied with an unsure "okay," which made the bronde giver her an 'are you serious' look, which made the brunette clarify, "I'd rather play it safe, so if I had to pick, I'd go for Philippine History Z. Plus, I'm still kinda shaken from the 2021 Bloody Sunday Calabarzon Killings episode, and I listened to that a few weeks back." At that, Emma gives in and mumbles, "Ugh, fine, you win, Iz. We'll listen to Philippine History Z, but after we finish it, we'll be listening to LAGIM." Isa counters, saying, "Okay, but one of your siblings or parents should also be there." Emma gives a quick nod, then simply says "Deal". At that moment, their phones buzz, informing them that they've got a case. "Well, it looks like you two will have to check out that podcast another time." Matt said as he read the message on his phone, and then as the two youngest agents gathered their stuff, they said simultaneously, "DANG IT!" Then all of them left and headed to the jet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While the rest of the team was up to their usual antics when they didn't have any cases, two of their members decided to hit up the shooting range.
As they exited the elevator and compared his and Monty's paper targets, Jack said, "Look at that. Well done, Monty. Tied again," to which the tech analyst replied, "Well, I did have a good teacher." The unit chief chuckles at that and then offers, "So, how about returning the favor and coming out on a case with us?" Monty quickly counters his boss and friend, saying, "You know my weapon of choice is a computer," as they round a corner. At that, Jack asks, "You sure that has nothing to do with the fact that you hate to fly?" The younger man asks, "Emma told you, di..." Knowing the answer, he chose to vow, "That's the last time I’m letting her and Isa play “Never Have I Ever” with me and Mae.” The senior agent replied, "She can put 'em away," with Monty adding as he grabbed his phone, "And hustle you in cards." Jack simply replies, "That's my girl." Then he asks, "What is it?" The tech analyst answers as he reads a message on the phone, "IRT just received a request from the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá." The unit chief simply says, "Let's go," and the two of them leave for two locations: Jack to the team's jet and Monty to his office.
"One Drew Dafaoe, 28, of NYC, was found dead in the alleyway behind his hotel in Bogotá, Colombia. There was no sign of a struggle, so local police ruled it a suicide." Monty said the team was en route to Bogotá, and they were having a briefing about the case, with the tech analyst communicating with the rest of his team via web video. Clara then said, half-asking, half-suggesting, "But someone doesn't think it is." The tech wiz confirms, replying "Correct-o, Drew's girlfriend is a native of Bogotá and says he has no reason to take his own life, so she filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Embassy, suspecting there was foul play involved".
"There's nothing in his medical record to suggest that Drew was in poor mental or physical health." Mae said as she went through the vic's medical record, then Isa spoke up as she read a file in hand "Drew claimed on his visitor's declaration form that he was in possession of an engagement ring." She then turns to face the others, all of whom are in varying states of shock. Clara, whose shock wasn't evident in her face but was barely evident in her voice, concludes the Filipina's statement by concluding it with the four words, "He was gonna propose."
The youngest agent then asked as she took a seat next to Clara, visibly confused, "That doesn't sound like somebody who's about to take his own life." Matt then added as he looked through some crime scene photos, "Unfortunately, from these photos, I can't really tell what happened. I mean, he could have jumped or been pushed." Monty then informed them, saying, "True, but what is clear is that in the hours leading up to Drew's death, his behavior was very suspect. After exhausting his ATM withdrawal limit, he then went to a local bank and cleared out his account," to which Emma asks, "So where's that money?" The tech analyst simply replied, "Missing, as is the ring."
At that, Isa raised her eyebrows, then took a seat next to Emma and said, "And here I thought Colombia was cleaning up their act." Clara then clarifies, "Well, it is. And because of it, more Americans have visited Colombia in the last two years than they have in the previous 20," to which Jack counters, "Mm, but like anything, it takes time, so crime is still a big problem for them. Tourists are always the easiest targets," the ME adds, "especially when the perception is that all Americans are rich," to which the unit chief further adds, "which explains why 75 Americans have been targeted in Colombia in 2021." Matt then concluded, saying, "And most of those were express kidnappings." Clara then countered, saying, "Yeah, but after the victims are taken at gunpoint, go to the ATM, withdraw the money, they're usually immediately released." Isa agreeing with the linguist, added, "And these types of criminals are highly organized, mobile, and experienced, but not usually violent." At that, Emma concludes, "So, if this is an escalation, there's no telling what dangers more Americans might find themselves in."
As the team arrived at the hotel, Drew stayed with a bunch of street kids, who flocked around them as they exited the 4x4. Then, out of the blue, a woman wearing a floral blue blouse and baby pink suit came and started yelling at the children, "iFuera de aquí, ratas! iAntes de que llame a la policía! iTodos vamos! iVamos!" She then says some other things at them, as Clara clarifies ""Gamines," or "throwaway children". It's a remnant of Colombia's recent civil wars. The unemployment, poverty, and lack of housing have left their parents struggling and the children abandoned. So they live on the streets and join gangs to survive, to which Isa asks, "What's the Colombian government doing about this?" Then the woman from earlier cuts in, saying, "Not enough. I'm sorry about this vermin. They're a stain on our county."
Then a man in a dark gray suit walks up to them and introduces himself as he offers a handshake, "Agent Garrett. I'm Detective Benavides." Jack accepts as he says, "Detective, thanks for having us." He then introduces the rest of the team, "Agent Seger, Garcia, Jarvis, Rubirosa, and Simmons." The detective then says to the team, apologizing, "I'm sorry that you had to fly all the way down here for this... how do you say... open-and-close case." The unit chief answers, "Oh, it certainly looks that way, but..." to which Detective Benavides cuts in, "It is. This is no longer the land of Pablo Escobar. It hasn't been for a while now. Colombia has taken its place in a new world, and we hope that its neighbors to the north will trust that we can police our own backyard." At that, Emma politely answers back, "Well, no disrespect intended, Detective Benavides, but when a formal complaint is filed with our embassy, we take that very seriously."
The detective reluctantly gives in to Emma's statement and asks, "Fine. How can I be of assistance?" to which Jack answers, "We'd like to see the deceased's hotel room." The detective then turns to the woman, who turns out to be Rosa Fernandez, the hotel manager, and they have a quick exchange. He then turns back to the team, informing them, "Unfortunately, that's not possible. Because we didn't declare this a crime, we've removed the deceased's belongings and released the room back to the hotel." Fernandez then cuts in, adding, "Which we then rented to a new guest. We're very busy, and the Chicó Reservado district is very popular with tourists, but I can show it to you if you'd like." Matt answers, saying, "If the room's been cleaned and occupied, then all the evidence has been compromised." to which Jack replies, "Agreed, so, Detective, can you instead escort Agents Jarvis, Rubirosa, and Simmons to the alleyway where the body was found, so they can take a look?" the detective simply replies with an "of course," then Jack turns to the rest of the team, "Mae, can you check out the alley while Simmons, you, and Emma take a look at the roof?" to which the former Army vet replies, "You got it, boss." as the three of them leave with Detective Benavides. Jack then turns to Clara and Isa and says, "Let's go have a chat with Drew's girlfriend. Paola," The three of them leave to talk to her, where they learn that she and Drew had a run-in with a halcón with the Los Primos cartel.
As they walked to the nightclub Paola and Drew went to before he died, Clara noticed that Isa's lost in her thoughts and asked her, "You alright, Isa?" which brought the Filipina back into reality and made her jump slightly, but then she mumbled, "Sorry. Paola just reminded me of the helplessness that my sisters and I felt when we lost mama and papa." to which the linguist replied empathically, "Of course. I've been there too, y'know. When I lost my brother." This made the girl look at her and give a thankful smile, then say with a bit of determination, "If we can find out who did this to Drew, it's gonna give her closure and allow her to move on. I hope we can do that". "We will," Jack said as they entered the nightclub.
Inside, there were only two people: one guy at the bar, and the other was behind the bar. "No, no, no. Cerrado. We're closed until 6," the guy at the bar said. Jack responds by showing his badge and saying, "FBI, I was hoping you might be able to help us out." The guy picks up a glass and says, "I doubt that." Isa gives a small scoff, then replies sarcastically, "Let's give it a try anyway." She then showed a photo of Drew's passport and added, "Either of you saw this man last night?" The man looked at the photo and then simply said, "I don't know. We see a lot of people." The three agents didn't seem convinced by that, and before Isa could make a witty remark, Jack asked, "All those people end up dead?" Instead of replying to the unit chief, the man turned to the guy behind the bar and said, "No dar papaya.”
Confused, Isa turns to Clara and asks, "Don't give the papaya?" The linguist clarifies, "It's a local saying. It means..." The man at the bar cuts in, saying "That it was probably the guy's own damn fault for walking in yesterday, being gringo, and flashing cash". "And maybe you helped him out with that?" Jack asked, to which the men laughed and said, "¿Yo?, You Americans are always putting your noses in Colombian business and just making everything worse." That made the most senior agent slightly agitated and ask, "Why don't you stop deflecting and answer my question?" The man then turned to the guys behind the bar and said, "Ohh... Mira." then turns back to Jack and says, "Tough guy with his gun and his badge." He then stood up, which made him a few inches taller than the unit chief.
Jack responds by first removing his gun and badge and handing them to Clara who along with Isa becomes slightly concerned, then says to the guy "Now I'm just a tough guy. But a little piece of tin doesn't seem like it would be a problem for you." the man responds saying "Hermano... you don't want any of this." Jack replies, saying, "Big guy like you doesn't have many real fights. Your game is intimidation. Most people back down before a punch is ever thrown, but I'm not one of those guys." the unit chief then takes a step forward and adds, "So... you have anything to do with this man's death?" At that, Clara seriously wondered how this was the same guy she married and had kids with, while Isa concluded that her friend and colleague got her attitude of diving head first into most things from her dad.
The man then sits back down and says, "Okay. Yeah, okay? Look... I tried to talk to his lady. That's it... Hmm? I was here all night into the morning, working." this doesn't convince the three agents, so he adds, "You don't believe me? Ask him" gesturing to his friend behind the bar. "Doesn't mean you didn't get on your walkie and call one of your buddies to take care of him." Isa replied wittily, which made the guy respond, "I am just... whoa." Jack instinctively reached for his gun, though it was not even real, which made the guy say, "Suave. It doesn't even work. It's not even loaded. I am just a security guard." He then showed the three agents his fake walkie-talkie, which made Clara conclude, "The walkie and the gun are a ruse." Jack examines the fake walkie then adds, "So... If people think you're part of a drug cartel, they think twice before doing anything stupid." The guy simply laughs and then says, "Welcome to Colombia," which makes Isa think, "Yeah, we feel very welcomed." as the three of them exchange looks.
After a while, the team hasn't made much progress as they've now got a second victim whose wife is currently missing, and searching their hotel room has raised more questions than answers, one of which is who owns the glittery purple lipstick on a champagne flute and the red hair in the shower. Mae was doing the autopsy with a local coroner on the jet just as Isa headed there, as she might have gotten a lead, while Matt and Emma, along with Detective Benavides, went to a nearby shop.
While all of that was going on, Jack walked up to Clara, who had just called the US embassy, and informed him, "Hey. I just got off the phone with the embassy. They're issuing a travel warning to all Americans in Bogotá and warning other embassies to do the same for their citizens," he replied, "Good. Simmons just called. He found a person of interest using the Hulses' credit card. It turned out to be Mrs. Hulse herself. Seems she had breakfast with her husband this morning before she went on the Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral tour, while he came back to the hotel to rest." Baffled, Clara concludes, "So, whoever it was must have known that she'd be occupied."
Just then, Mae calls, to which Jack answers and says, "What do you two have, Mae?" The ME answers "Well, the original medical reports said that the victims were not drugged, when, in fact, they were". "With what?" Clara asks, "It's called scopolamine, a.k.a. "The Devil's Breath" the ME replies." Still bewildered, the linguist then asks, "So, why didn't the original labs catch it?" At that, Isa cuts in, clarifying "Well, scopolamine metabolizes into the bloodstream so quickly that standard toxic panels don't detect it". "It also grows only here in Colombia, so it's specific to the region," the unit chief adds. "Bingo," the Filipina said in response, then added, "Now, scopolamine is like a Mickey on steroids. It's odorless, it's off-white in color, and it can be blown into someone's face or just passed through touch." as Mae takes over and continues to explain, "And once that happens, the victim is turned into a mental zombie, and while they're under the influence, the victim is easily controlled by suggestions or verbal commands to perform unspeakable acts, which is why all of our victims have been emptying their bank accounts... Because they were told to." At that, Jack comments, saying, "And the person giving the commands is usually very close by." Isa concludes the explanation by saying, "And once the drug has worn off, the victim has no recollection of what happened or what they did under the influence. They can't even identify the people who gave them the drug in the first place."
The last part slightly puzzled Clara, which made her ask, "Well, then why have them kill themselves if they can't remember anything, anyway?" Mae suggests, "Unless these crimes of opportunity are also a way to fulfill a lust to kill." Jack replies, saying, "Sounds like you guys are on to something, Mae. Get back to the hotel as soon as possible, and we'll regroup." then ends the call then turns to Clara, "The last time I heard of scopolamine, a bunch of working girls were using it to roll Johns in Guatemala." the linguist makes a 'that makes sense' gesture then replies, "Well, a lady of the night would explain who was drinking the champagne." the unit chief then adds, "And who took the shower in a country where running water is not always a given."
Clara agrees with this but finds something that doesn't add up, so she says, "Yeah, but neither of these victims look like the kind of men that would pay for sex." Jack nods slightly at her point and then suggests, "Agreed, but maybe they didn't pay for it, and these women followed them and found the right opportunity to dose them." Clara replies, "All right, so where do we find this working girl?" Jack answers, "That's the easy part," as he calls Matt and Emma, then, as they pick up, says, "Simmons, Emma, meet us at the Wall." as the two of them leave to meet them at the Wall.
The four agents arrive at the Wall with Jack and Clara riding the 4x4 while Emma and Matt road his bike, which, though she won't admit it, moderately scared Emma. As they either hopped off or exited their respective vehicles, Matt said, "The Wall is infamous for prostitution," and as they walked around, Clara spotted a girl that fits the vague description of their working girl and said, "There she is. Redhead, purple lipstick. Check." Emma then commented, "Nice ice on her finger," as she observed the girl show a raven-haired girl a ring, which made her dad reply, "I think we just found Drew's lost engagement ring... and our killer."
All of a sudden, shots were fired and everyone there either ducking for cover or running away. The four agents were able to duck behind a probably abandoned car, while the redheaded girl ducked behind an old, rusty trash can. As a few more shots are fired, Jack tells the others, "I don't have a shot. There are too many innocents downrange." Just then, the redheaded girl runs away, which Matt notices and then says, "There she goes." Jack then says to Clara and Emma, "I'll get his attention. As soon as I draw his fire, you two get the girl," to which the mother-daughter duo replies simultaneously with 'copy' and 'gotcha' then the unit chief addresses the former army vet and says, "Simmons, you get everyone else to safety." Matt simply replies, "Done."
Then Jack gave the go signal, and all four agents did their assigned orders. After a while, the gunman suddenly runs out of ammunition, and Jack says to him, "Jack Garrett, FBI!" Matt then asks, with his gun drawn, "What do we got, Jack?" The more senior agent replies, "He's on a drug called scopolamine. It's like you're under hypnosis, so whoever gives it to you has a lot of sway over your actions," he says as he reaches for the gunman's gun and is handcuffed.
Meanwhile, the mother-daughter duo continues to chase the redheaded girl. At some point during the chase, Clara yells, "FBI! Stop!" But after a bit more running and a few people shoved out of the way by both parties, the mother-daughter agent duo caught up with the redheaded girl, with Emma tackling her down and Clara cuffing her.
Back with Jack, Matt, and the gunman, Matt asks, "How'd he know where to find us?" while holding on to the gunman Jack spots something on the ground and picks it up. "The UnSub is watching," Jack replies as he shows the other agent a Polaroid.
After Clara and Emma took the redheaded girl into custody, they went in to interview her. There they learned that her name was Canela and that both Drew and Tim hired her, but she wasn't the one to dose either of them with scopolamine. She said that neither of the victims wanted sex or anything, but they instead fed her, told her to take a shower, and then paid her for the whole day, so she didn't have to work anymore. She also said that Drew gave her the ring. When Emma asked what the gunman wanted, Canela replied saying that she had never met him and that when he came to the Wall and started shooting, that was the first time she saw him.
After the interview, the mother-daughter duo met up with Jack near the hotel lobby where he informed the two "Mae, Isa, and Simmons are interviewing the shooter. How'd it go with the working girl?" getting straight to the point, Clara replies, "She says she's innocent." her husband and colleague simply answered, "Of course". Emma replied "We believe her, dad" The last word was said so softly that both her parents barely heard it. Her dad then asked "Why's that?" her mom answered for her saying "Well, because when people lie, they tend to minimize, you know, to conceal their degree of involvement, but Canela has admitted to everything, including things that would cast doubt on her story, like the fact that they paid her extra money or that Drew gave her the ring." the young agent then added "Yeah, her only crime is growing up on these streets and trying to survive." agreeing with his wife and daughter Jack concluded "So if she didn't do it... whoever our UnSub is has a soft spot for her."
Clara then nods at Jack's conclusion and replies, "Agreed. And they want her washed, fed, and off the streets." Emma finds something confusing questions, "But it's a conflicting motivation. Greed versus romance?" the unit chief answers "We could be dealing with a schizophrenic, someone of two minds, on the one hand, driven by logic... on the other, driven by emotion." the youngest agent, starting to get why the motivations were so conflicting, adds "Which could be a blessing. I mean, the emotional side of our UnSub is driving them to take risks that they normally wouldn't take." Jack then replied, "Exactly. Which could be their undoing." Clara then suggests "Or their common thread. Canela asked us, "Who cares for prostitutes in Bogotá?"." to which her husband concluded, "Someone else who's been thrown away."
While the familial threesome was talking, the remaining three members of the team who were on the team talked to the gunman, whose name they learned was Bob Cosgrove. When Matt asked what was the last thing he remembered before he was drugged he replied that the last he remembered was that he decided to take a walk from his hotel down to the marketplace and while there he heard a song specifically "Redemption Song" and that he placed some money into the musician kid's hat then suddenly everything went dark. At that, a lot of things started to fit into place for the three agents as they shared a glance at each other. Later, the team regroups with Detective Benavides, and they look over the marketplace from a hotel balcony.
"Music," Isa said simply. "The polaroid of Jack" Simmons continued then Clara added "The marketplace... it's what all the vics had in common." then she continued "The Chicó Reservado district is very popular among tourists. They walk through here every single day." then Jack concludes, "And finally, the kids. They're everywhere. The poor and homeless are often invisible". "Yeah, that's why this crime was so hard to figure out," Matt said as he turned to the others. "We underestimated them," Emma said, finishing the former army vet's statement. "Yeah, because you don't want to believe that kids are capable of such a thing." Clara said agreeing with her teammates, though her statement made the two youngest agents glance at each other as if saying to each other 'if only they knew some things we did' as they're a bit mischievous at times and most times an adult figures out what they did, but there are a few times they don't. Jack then counters the others "Doesn't mean he's our UnSub." Detective Benavides points to the musician kid and says "He looks like the ringleader to me." the unit chief decides to give the detective the benefit of the doubt and replies "He just maybe, but let's kick the tires on this and be sure. Our UnSub is targeting tourists."
Mae then adds, "These are crimes of opportunity, but there's a sadistic element to them. Robbery should have been enough, but these murders are extra." Isa then says slightly, stuttering a bit, "This person wants control and craves power. I-it's not just about money, but also making his victims be punished." Matt then continued "This is someone who's angry at tourists or foreigners." as Clara added to the profile "Yeah, a domineering personality, someone who takes pressure in... in making their victims helpless." Jack then replied, noticing a contradiction between their profile and the musician kid, "This kid doesn't fit the profile." the detective then asked, slightly confused, "So what? He fits the crime." to which Matt pointed out, "See, look at the way he checks around. See? See right there? Before he gives the kid the money". Emma then concluded, "They're afraid of someone". This still confuses the detective, so he asks "So he's got nothing to do with this?" to which Jack replies, "He might not be our UunSub, but he's most definitely our Romeo."
Isa then listed and occluded "Strawberries, champagne, and a shower. Only a kid on the street who lacks these things is gonna know their value." this still confuses the detective as he asks, "How is that possible? Whoever is tied to this girl is most likely the person who did all of this." Jack then gives another option they never thought of until now, "Unless we're looking for two people... one Alpha and one Beta." to which Clara replies, "Which is why our profile was so conflicting." Isa then concluded with a tone of disgust, hurt, and sympathy for the kids "These kids are just puppets." just as Matt added, "Someone else is pulling the strings, giving information from afar." Emma then concludes, "So we're not looking for a Romeo. We're looking for a Cyrano." which makes Detective Benavides ask "So, how do we find this Cyrano?" to which Jack replies "First, let's get these kids off the street and to safety."The team and Detective Benavides go to do just that and the musician kid notices them then yells "¡La policía! ¡Corran! ¡Corran!" and all of them run or at least try to since they're caught by the team and other officers. Jack then said to the musician kid, "Hey. FBI. ¿Hablas Inglés?" to which the kid simply replied "Sí." which made the unit chief ask "Where'd you learn to speak English?" the kid replied as he was being searched "Where else? American music." as he's finished being searched, Detective Benavides informs Jack "He's clean." to which the musician kid says "Which means I'm free to go. Gracias." then tries to leave but is stopped by Detective Benavides saying something to him in Spanish, then turns to the unit chief and says "They're all clean. One of the other kids must have gotten away with the scopolamine." Jack then turns to the musician kid, "I'm not interested in you going to jail, but I am interested in who your boss is." the kid simply replies with an "I'm the boss" to which the agent responds "I think you're just a kid being manipulated." the kid takes a step towards the agent as he says "You don't know anything about me or my friends or my family." Jack then explains to him, "Well, I know whoever you think your friend is, isn't. They're using you and all the others to do bad things so that, if you get caught, you all go to jail, not them." the musician kid then turns to the other kids then simply said "The FBI likes to lie." which the agent quickly dismisses saying "I promise you, we're not lying. Let me help you. I know you're just trying to take care of your friends." the musician kid then replies, "We're okay. We'll take care of ourselves. Gracias. ¡Vámonos!" then he and the other kid leave and as 6 agents and a detective watch them leave, the detective asks "So, what now?" to which the most senior agent replies "We follow them".
As the team and Detective Benavides follow the kids, they follow them into an alleyway with flashlights in hand. "Well, they can't have escaped that quickly," Isa remarked as they looked around to see how the kids had gotten away so fast. After looking around for a while, Matt finds a vent from which the kids could've used and then says "Got 'em." he then removes some metal bars from the vent looks in, and adds "Yeah, they can fit in here, but we can't." Which made Jack say, "We Need to find another way in. They're probably meeting with their leader now". "I'm pretty sure this leads under the hotel. Maybe there's a way in from there." Detective Benavides replies as they leave.
As she followed closely behind the rest of the team, Emma suddenly heard someone take a sharp breath behind her and made her turn around to see Isa struggling to breathe. As she walked towards the slightly older girl she asked "You okay Isa?" the other girl grabbed her friend's arm which she had extended then simply said "Asthma." still struggling to get oxygen into her lungs.
Hearing footsteps behind her Emma turns around to see her parents walking up to the two of them who noticed the two younger agents weren't behind them. Her mom then asked with concern on her face "Isa are you alright?" the Filipina nodded and then replied still struggling to breathe "I'll be fine… it's just my Asthma. I'm pretty sure… it's the stuffiness… of the alleyway… or… the dry air… that triggered it." Jack responds, "I think you should head back to the hotel and sit this one out." Emma nodded and then said "I agree with dad." her mom then added "So do I. I'm not so sure if it's the best idea to have you on the field if you’re having an Asthma attack." to which Isa responds with a nod then says still having a hard time to breath "Okay, I’ll… sit this one… out". Emma then turned to her parents and said "I'll stay with her." this made her parents glance at each other then turn to their daughter and nod, and she then told them "Okay, We’ll see you guys after this is all over I guess" then adds "And please be careful." to which her dad replies "We will." and her mom said at the same time "Always." then the four of them leave the alleyway then part ways with the two young agents head to the hotel while the older two agents join the others.
While the two youngest agents were back at the hotel, the rest of the team and Detective Benavides went to the basement part of the hotel to see the hotel manager, Rosa Fernandez, pointing a gun at the street kid. Then suddenly Jack and the others enter, then say "FBI! Drop the weapon!" Fernandez clocks the gun and doesn't drop it, so the unit chief says "I said drop the weapon!" to which Fernandez says "Que asi sea." then gets shot by Jack before she pulls the trigger and falls to the ground. Then, as Clara walks over to Fernandez to see if she is dead or not, the others walk over to the kids check on them, and calm them down.
The next day, while the kids were with most of the team and some local officers, Detective Benavides was talking with Jack and Clara and informed them a bit of Fernandez' background "Her real name was Gabriella Muñoz, an ex-street kid and prostitute with a long criminal record and a history of extreme Colombian nationalistic views," which made Clara ask, "So, how did she become the hotel manager?" to which the detective replied, "Rosa Fernandez was an alias that she must have stolen and used to get the job. The kids say she had been planning this scam for a while". "A hotel manager's a perfect cover if you want to rip off some tourists." Jack comments, then Clara replies "Yeah, and being surrounded by them must have triggered her resentment towards all the foreigners," which made the unit chief add "And suddenly, it wasn't enough to just steal from them... she needed to kill them, too".
After a few beats of silence, Detective Benavides quickly says, "I owe you and your team an apology. I thought there was nothing here. You were right. There was," to which Jack replies, "Well, this is one of those times I wish I was wrong." Then the detective responds, "Hopefully, in the future, we can do more?" as he and Garrett shake hands, then adds, "Thank you." Jack then asks, "So what about then?" as he gestures to the kids, then adds, "What happens now?" to which Detective Benavides replies, "Although they were part of a criminal activity, I've spoken to my superior on their behalf, and he's taken into account their circumstances. They've been cleared of any wrongdoing," to which the unit chief responds, "Well, I'm glad to hear that because I found someone who can help us. I have a friend who runs an orphanage." as a bus approaches them.
As the bus stops, a woman with short, kinky hair steps out and walks over to them and says, "Hola, Jack," to which the unit chief replies, "Thank you for coming, Ramona." As he and the woman share an embrace, he adds, "The kids are over there with the rest of my team." Then he gestures to the others, to which Ramona replies, "I'll go introduce myself, and then we can take them to their new home." Then she walks over to the rest of the team and the kids. This makes the two agents and detective glance at each other, and the two agents exchange a smile.
After a while, Detective Benavides asks, "What would you have done if we decided to press charges against them?" to which Jack retorts, "I guess we'll never have to find out," which made the detective and Clara chuckle as the kids got on the bus. Clara then spots Paola, then turns to Jack, and says, "Um, I'm gonna be right back." She then walks over to Paola, and after they exchange greetings, the linguist says, "I, uh... I have something that belongs to you." as she hands the engagement ring to Paola, which made the woman's voice break as she said, "Oh, my God." as Clara tells the other woman, "Drew wanted you to have this." then adds, "It's perfect." Then the two women exchanged hugs. As the two women have their exchange, Jack turns and sees the exchange and a small smile forms as the four other agents rejoin them, and they wave goodbye to the kids on the bus.
Once the team returned to the US and finished writing their case reports which took almost the whole day, they were all able to get a day off. On the way back home, the two youngest agents were jamming to the Hamilton soundtrack for the hundredth time, much to the two older agents' annoyance. After a while, Clara started to stare off into the road ahead, lost in her thoughts. Jack quickly glanced at her before turning most of his attention back to the road and saying, "I can hear your mind racing, you know," which made his wife chuckle softly. He then replied, "I was just thinking of what Mae told me before the case," to which he silently told her to go on as the woman added, "She told me that after the slip-up at the train station, pun not intended, she and the other are starting to pick up what’s going on between the two of us." As they stopped at a stop light, Jack carefully placed a hand on hers and said, "We’ll figure out a way to tell them. It might take some time for them to get used to the idea or for us to tell them, but we’ll figure out a way," which made Clara give him a tight-lipped smile while Isa and Emma fake gagged from the back seat of the car, which Clara saw from the rearview mirror and gave them a raised eyebrow. Before either girl could respond, Emma's phone buzzed, which made everyone in the car jump slightly and made Clara involuntarily let go of her husband's hand, then give him a small sheepish smile.
IRT Fam
9:30 p.m.
Mae: hey guys

Okay, a few notes about some stuff mentioned:
1. bronde refers to the fusion between blonde and brown hair that Emma has (pretty sure Jayden Bartels who played her in the og run of the show is also one)
2. Isa is sometimes referred to as Iz usually by some family members, most friends, and sometimes co-workers. Though her sisters usually call her Izzy or any nickname that comes from the name Isabella that can annoy her
3. In the scene where the team follows the kids into an alleyway there's a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows reference (I'll let you guys guess it)
4. The language Isa typed in when Monty enters the chat is the Ilocano a dialect in the Philippines which is spoken in Northern Luzon, many parts of Central Luzon, and a few parts of the Soccsksargen region in Mindanao;
5. And lastly I described Ramona’s hair as kinky hair since it's also called afro-textured hair you can learn more about this type of hair with these Wikipedia articles
Another thing here is the translations for the chapter:
tanga - stupid
Ay, hindi. - Oh, no.
iFuera de aquí, ratas! iAntes de que llame a la policía! iTodos vamos! iVamos! - Get out of here, rats! Before I call the police! We all go! Come on!
Cerrado - Closed
No dar papaya - don't give the papaya
¿Yo? - I?
Mira - look
¡La policía! ¡Corran! ¡Corran! - Police! Run! Run
¿Hablas Inglés? - Do you speak English
Sí - yes
Gracias - thank you
Gracias. ¡Vámonos! - Thank you. Let’s go!
Que así sea - so be it
Hola - hello
Ay-ayatenmikayo a Monty - We love you, Monty
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this but pls remember I'm still new to fanfiction writing so pls be nice to me.

Opinions on ships for the au ?
// I don't really do ships outside of whats typically canon. Sometimes I'll get invested in oc x canon characters if there's not a canon one and I feel like getting silly. But overall I'm not a shipper.
// I don't care if people ship within my AU, just know it's not going to go anywhere past canon.
// Isa × frin used to be one I wasn't into but I've warmed up a lil more to over time (Nothing against Isa he's just not my type lol)
// I don't ship sif x loop despite teasing it because I think it's canon that loop will lean into that for the bit. The two have this unique relationship that isn't defined by romance or family, they are the literal same person with timeline divergences. They're also weirdos that play gay chicken with each other.
// but yeah if anyone wants to ship, say, Dusk and Dawn idgaf sure have fun. I see the divorce jokes I think that's funny.
#Its extra funny to me because dawn is too weirded out by literally everything else to give a shit about being a clone#And meanwhile Dusk has everything on lock down as they deal with the clone issue. They're trying to rationalize Dawn's existence and haven'#Even dealt with themselves being a copy yet. It makes for an interesting dynamic I think!#ooc

Fais fanfic rambles: Introduction to my 'Selkies by Starlight' ISaT AU
Note: Not to be confused with @looped-140-and-counting / Soren_793's wonderful Selkie AU oneshot series 'The Northern Islanders are Selkies' which was hugely inspiring for this if potentially VERY different in vibe (we got very into talking about cloaks! XD)
Basic premise/summary:
In an alternate version of the precanon adventure, the party lead by Mirabelle to stop the King freezing Vaugarde in time, recruit Siffrin as per usual.
Thing is, Siffrin is a Selkie.
A very skittish selkie without a cloak of their own, who openly wears the cloak of another, and due to Reasons is under the impression that the party know all both of those things and the Implications about them, and for whatever reason have decided to welcome him into their group anyway.
Which er, he's completely wrong about as the party know absolutely nothing.
Mira and Isa like most Vaugardian humans think 'shifters' are just fairytales, Odile knows shapeshifters are real but is only really familiar with how foxes like her father work, and Bonnie is actually able to sense some pretty major things but is a preteen dealing with a lot and hasn't even joined the party yet, so this pretty major misunderstanding is sustained for quite a while...
Cue the AUs' main focus being on the resulting party dynamic shifts as more and more canon divergence due to Sif's 'selkie stuff' (both cute and serious) comes into play, the party slowly realising something is up, and all of it hitting an eruption point right around the time of the 4th Orb/the loss of Siffrin's eye...
Some key world building notes: (Note: very summarised from my docs. I have like 20k+ words on this stuff XD)
The Island - Probably the most drastically different thing from canon here, the Island was not forgotten or erased here. Rather it is hidden away and permanently shrouded in Wish Craft generated fog from 'those without cloaks'. Side note: Sif is still unable to return home and continues to have some very plot critical memory problems but those are due to unrelated issues, which means yay I get to have Sif talk 'home culture' with the others in this =D Also idk why the King is freezing Vaugarde still. I've got a few ideas I'm not sure about and he's not in focus enough for it to even matter really, but random suggestions -especially those with possible selkie motivations- would be very much appreciated.
Selkie powers in my setting - Went into something of a deep dive regarding selkie folklore for this and did you know they have an absolute ton of seer/oracle based stuff going on?
From selkie being summoned by their human lovers shedding seven tears into the ocean, to a selkie man telling a former lover that he and their child will die at the hands by her genuinely good and loving future husband, to a selkie woman forseeing her fisherman husband about to die out in a storm just in time for her to swim over there and rescue him, etc.
So... Yeah. This AU has a lot of plot relevant sensory/seer stuff going on as well as the standard seal shapeshifter stuff (Islander selkie traditionally believe it to be the Universe talking with them, in the same way Wish Craft is talking to the Universe), and going off all the stuff I read decided it'd be most fitting if the general rule for how it all works is: - Selkie always passively have a bit of it going on (aka Sif's canon 'you sense someone nearby' stuff) which like most things can be enhanced with Craft use a bit. - Near perfect understanding of all 'connected' bodies of water (aka they know EXACTLY where the tasty fish are/will be and can probably get a general sense of location for most people on a boat) - Potentially get strong 'visions of the future' and/or instincts on what they need to do to avert an outcome when it comes to loved ones being in danger/distress.
They also maybe get to pull very fast, high power Wish Craft 'curses'/miracles' at idk, the cost of something major like their cloak or lives (mostly based off of the The Legend of Kópakonan where the whole island of Kalsoy was cursed with death by a selkie in retaliation for her husband and children being murdered) but not super attached to this idea past it being in 'seal shifter' stories in-setting.
Other non humans in setting and regional differences in shifters - Pretty much only selkie and selkie issues are in focus here, but just as a general thing, all non humans in setting are shapeshifters and originated from human ancestors who went crazy with the the Body Craft and/or used Wish Craft in some way.
Ka Bue in particular has a ton of them since yokai, with their origins being various sects/clans back in the warring eras going so nuts with trying to weaponize Body Craft (super soldiers, enhanced life spans, infiltration, exploiting attraction to furries, etc), that after some particularly high profile incidents (for an idea plz see: Kiyohime, Tamamo no Mae, Kachi-kachi Yama) and 'Body Craft misuse leading to shut down of the brain/vital organs' being the most common cause of death for 10+ years once peace time was established, eventually Ka Bue's authorities set their foot down and banned Body Craft altogether.
Currently the shifter population in Ka Bue is around 30% of the population, shifters are required to have ID regarding their forms (or potential forms if they're merely 'half'), and it's considered distasteful for a shifter to be in non human form outside of private settings/necessity and even ruder to ask a shifter about their non human forms if they haven't brought the topic up yet first (kinda like seeing/asking about someone's underwear or something XD).
In contrast the Vaugarde, Mwudu and Porteria region is extremely shifter sparce, with most of its original shifter population being the result of various Universe worshipping peoples (mostly small groups, like greek mystery cults) deciding to use a big Wish Craft ritual as some sort of religious rite and becoming shifters as a side effect of their primary Wish (usually stuff like 'we wish for us and our descendants to be one with You and the sea/air' or 'may we Change with the phases of the holy moon' etc) which granted them some pretty neat skills but also tended to come with some 'potentially nasty' drawbacks attached (see: selkie and swan maidens with their cloaks, werewolves Changing in both body and mind etc) Which er, lead to some issues born of lack of knowledge about this stuff, later some very nasty anti shifter sentiment in the region, and then around... IDK 200 to 300 years ago or so ended up exploding into violence and other very nasty things, with most shifters able to do so fleeing the region, and those that couldn't either enduring horrible conditions until they could escape/died or went deep into hiding, with the Island's Country being founded by the two later groups who used Wish Craft to hide their new home, erase awareness of their existence from their enemies (a short term, fully intentionally 'forgetting' blast centered specifically around shifters), and developed a LOT of culture and traditions regarding when, who and what can be told to 'outsiders' about themselves, Wish Craft, etc in order to keep their people safe.
There are shifters living in present in Vaugarde of course (anti shifter sentiment died back a LOT after most people stopped thinking they were real, and most modern day Change Believers are more likely to view these 'totally fictional/allegorical' beings as children/messengers of the Change God rather than 'evil demons who stole power by tearing apart the Change God's cloak for themselves and thus have to be hunted down and made to repent' propaganda take that was everywhere back then) but numbers actually living outside the Island as opposed to merely visiting remain low, since either the shifters know their history and stick firmly to their 'stay secret' traditions or quickly pick up on how oddly unknown shifters are around these parts and decide to err on the side of caution... Also 'trust worthy' humans who do learn about them (usually northern coastal folk, gee wonder why) tend to help cover them up so... Yeah =D
---
And... Yeah!
This is hella long as is, so will stop here and ramble about the actual 'how this all affects our beloved Sif and Co plot and culture wise' stuff that is the actual meat of the AU in another post later, but hope this made for an interesting/idea provoking read, know that I have no issue with anyone using any of this for their own works (just please, don't use the 'Selkies under starlight' same story name unless it's actually a fanfic/fanart of my 'hopefully soon has a chapter/one shot up' fic/Ao3 series of the same name so people don't get confused), and I would love to chatter with you about any thoughts/questions you might have so...
Wishing you a good day =D

Y'know what. Maybe I will. I need to brainstorm a good title and I have a few ideas. ISAT spoilers under the cut, it's the rough idea I have for the fic.
So. First friendquest king defeat right? Where the party runs to Siffrin's side, they reach out, trying to grab each other. Too late. Siffrin wakes up newly hopeless. I've seen like, one or two plot-divergent takes of that scene in which them successfully reaching Siffrin would allow them to recall loops too.
It's that, kinda. Except instead of them waking up in their usual places with memories, realizing what happened......they're stuck in Sif's head. Sif awakens in the meadow, hopeless for a moment, and then their mind explodes into a cacophony of noise. Five minds squeezed into the empty space and Siffrin panics, grabbing his hair, Isa and Mira panicking too, Odile trying to figure things out, Bonnie thrashing. Body taken over by it, Siffrin stumbles, shouts, screams and begs for everyone to calm down.
So it ends up being like....body sharing. Taking turns? Watching in horror the motions Siffrin goes through. The only thing I'm not sure of is what happens to the party's real bodies. Are they, too, going through the motions? Do they just collapse with no minds to occupy them? Are they there, technically, but with no light behind their eyes? Would the Change God step in, to be an off-kilter understudy playing four parts?
Siffrin, wishing to be with them, to be close to them, and, well. That's certainly one way to accomplish that. Would Loop even believe them if they went and explained what happened? Loop can't read Sif's mind, really, they just know what they're thinking from experience. But with too many voices awkwardly trying to speak, how would Loop even know what to do or say? Ever?? Literally the script is out the window no one knows what to do.

I actually DON’T think we should get KH4 right away.
HEAR ME OUT.
I think we need at least 3 new side games before that happens.
Vanitas redemption arc. Now, I don’t think for a second that they plan to leave him evil. I think Kingdom Hearts is simply far too optimistic a series to let the circumstances of his birth define him. But I just really think that it would be worthwhile to take the time to flesh it out as a main plot rather than a side plot in another game.
I’m picturing it as either a Ventus led game or a dual-led game like CoM or DDD. Thematically, I think the game should revolve around the idea that if a heart of light can grow darkness within it, it stands to reason a heart of darkness could grow light. I think this is especially likely considering Ventus and Vanitas briefly merged with one another at the end of Birth by Sleep, which may have planted the spark of light inside. I would also love to see the concept of a heart of pure light explored in more detail. How does Ventus’s heart differ from Kairi and the other princesses of heart, and what happens when darkness is introduced? Can they stay pure forever? Is that even a good thing? Is pure light or balance the ideal state of being?
I also think that exploration could be an excellent opportunity to bring Kairi to the forefront and truly flesh out her character. How is she dealing with Sora’s disappearance? Will she be tempted by the dark to find him again?
Naminé, Riku, and Xion bring back Repliku. Now this is a plot point I’m actually worried they won’t further address. I do fear the end of KH3 may have been the final goodbye to Repliku, but I think that would be such a shame. I believe he has just as much right to exist as Xion, and theoretically the same process of bringing him back to life. However, the problem lies with his memories and the location of his heart. The memories he was created were either manufactured or had to be returned to Riku, and he had much less time and ability to interact and form more of his own memories with others like Xion. However, we do know that in his short time, he was able to form a heart of his own, so there must be more there. And I personally would just love to see that fleshed out more, with a heavy focus on Naminé finding the answers to his recompletion.
I think this game could explore more in detail the extent of Naminé’s abilities as well as the concept of The Final World between sleep and death. I want to see Naminé, Riku, and Xion journey through the sleeping worlds and find The Final World at the very end to pull Repliku back. I think that while there, Chirithy could give them vital information on finding Sora.
Lea and Isa find Project X. I think this would also be an interesting opportunity to experiment with a 4 member party system à la Final Fantasy XV (among others) with Roxas and Xion filling out the party. I NEED to see how Roxas and Xion interact with a newly completed Isa, and how he integrated into their group. Also, I think it would be so interesting seeing each member (especially Isa) having to confront their old organization identity in some way, similar to Aqua fighting her shadow self in A Fragmentary Passage. And if the theories about Project X actually being Master Ava, this would be the perfect lead in to KH4.
Of course, in all of these games, there would be a little tid-bit about tracking down Sora as well as breadcrumbs on Luxu and the MOM leading up to KH4, where all of the diverging story lines finally come back together.
So yeah, Square Enix, hmu. I got more ideas lmao

Okay so, after the act 5 divergence, Isabeau suddenly finds himself by the favor tree and promptly freaks out.
Why is he back here!? How is the sky back to normal (well, mostly)!? Was Loop right about the time loops!? Isabeau thought they were exaggerating!!
Eventually he calms down somewhat, enough to realize that if he's in the time loops he can help Siffrin with them. Siffrin... Who is alive right now...
Isabeau then realizes no one has come to him to tell him Siffrin is acting weird, he just figures that Sif just... didn't blow up at their friends this time, which is good!
And then Siffrin is walking towards Isabeau and Isa prepares to tell Sif he's in the time loops too, but then he notices that Sif looks... different. Well, no, it'd be more accurate to say that Sif looks the exact same as he was before the loops (however many they went through before) which either Sif has become an amazing actor or...
Talking to Sif makes Isa quickly realize that they don't remember any time loops, or more accurately that no loops have happened yet, Change this is confusing. Isa explains the favor tree to Siffrin and then Sif goes to ask it for a favor, Isabeau should give Sif privacy but... (Sif in his arms, apologizing desperately, as he stops brea-)... Isa doesn't want to leave Sif alone right now.
Isabeau and Siffrin end up walking to the Clocktower together.

Isa and Mira...idea...
Uhh, Mirabel is trying to show Isabela something/give her something. Isabela keeps cutting her off and tells her to go away. Eventually rolls her eyes, flips her hair and hits her with flowers. Isabela hears sniffles. And something drop and break. She turns to see Mirabel wiping away the petals and tears. Mirabel whispers a quiet apology or something and runs off to the nursery.
Isabela kinda just??? Stands there for a minute. And processes what happened. She looks down and sees a small box and like. It's obviously been decorated by Mirabel (similar to one she later gives Antonio). At first she things she hurt Mirabel physically, but sees no thorns so she takes the top off the box and like. It's a small potted plant with flowers (the pot also was decorated by Mirabel). And there was a small book (a small scrapbook probably) and some piece of clothing. Isaela picks up the clothing, it's a skirt, all embroidered by Mirabel. Ironically it fits Isabela's purple/pink theme, but also has other things. And then the scrapbook is all the flowers Mirabel saved over the years, mostly from before the ceremony, that Isabela gave her. And Like. Isabela looks at these things and realizes that Mirabel was just trying to be nice, and mend their already straining relationship. And Isabela kinda has a revelation that???
She hurt Mirabel's feelings. Really badly. And Mirabel was just being nice. She didn't do anything to deserve that reaction.
Anyway after that uhhhh, idk I think Mirabel locks herself in the nursery and Isabela goes amd bangs in the door begging Mirabel to open it and she can hear her crying, but Mirabel won't open the door and Isabela can't get Casita to open it lol
I think Isabela would have sat outside the nursery, but eventually had to go, out to town probably. Later on, she sees Mirabel at dinner, but the girl refuses to talk or look at her. Her eyes are puffy too. Isabela probably goed back to her room and spends all night gluing the pot back together and repotting the plant. And after she puts the skirt on (she loves it so much she realizes), she looks though the book <333
Did any of this make sense. Idk. As for names of this au uhhhhh it’s really only canon divergent,,,,idk. Rn, I have is: Orchids, Lilies and the Valley Between Us

Even if I'm including alternate paths in my au, regardless it will follow the original destiny of mcsm. By which I mean the big key events will still happen regardless of how diverging the paths can get.
For example:
As I have said in a previous post, Reuben will still die, which also means yeah, the witherstorm has to happen, an extra Jesse doesn't change that, nor the outcome.
Both end up getting pushed off the edge by Aiden in sky city during the portal hopping arc, leading isa to discovering land
And neither get chipped by PAMA (I'm leaning towards jesseF saving Petra but unable to get Lukas so I can have that final confrontation with PAMA be between jesseM and Lukas)
The biggest problem I'm running into rn is the admin stuff from season 2.. who gets the gauntlet? I'm probably going to give it to jesseF, but I'm considering having it be 2 gauntlets, 1 for each? I'm going to have to rewatch some more footage, to see which would be more likely. I have a lot less knowledge of season 2...

"i have wanted to kiss you every time i've seen you smile."
"then why haven't you yet?" ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -。꒱ྀི১ ⊹˚. ♡
yippie a writing prompt !! this features lea and isa from kingdom hearts !! ♡ contains : fluff + implied nsfw ! a liddle smidge of angst and a whole lot of loveeeee ♡ enjoy !!

the worlds left lea’s mouth faster than they intended too. both men found staring at each other in a stand off, a violent silence coming between them as they both processed what exactly these words could mean. immediately he cleared his throat, scratching his neck awkwardly as he tried to diverge any kind of idea as to why he’d even have such a rebuttal. that sentence tossed around in his mind. was this a confession? did his childhood best friend feel the same ??
shaking his head slightly, lea went to push his way past the other male. he wanted to run. he knew he’d had the confidence to quip back but the lost expression that plastered isa’s face was enough for him to understand that the feelings were probably negative to him. not a positive thing to want to kiss your best friend of almost 20 years. however something willed his feet to plant firm before walking away almost completely. another small moment of silence washed over as the two dared each other to speak.
“are you going to say anything ?”
lea was the first to break the silence, as he usually was. isa’s heart clamoured a bit before nodding, swallowing dryly he grabbed the wrist of his former best friend. in a switch motion the red head was pressed right up to the chest of his closest companion, both their faces burning hot as finally after all this time their lips had made contact.
inevitably this notion brought a smile to lea’s cheeks, one so wide their tender kiss had been broken. they both had no idea what this meant. they both had no idea what this meant for their future. however — wrapped in his arms, they both felt a warm sense of security and bliss. lips connecting once more as isa finally whispers to the heavenly man in front of him,
“that smile . . never failed to convince me of how beautiful your heart really is.”
a small chuckle from lea is what brought them back to reality, his hand tracing up isa’s back to gently grip the back of his hair, dragging his mouth closer,
“how ‘bout you come see just how beautiful all of me is?”
